1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
NA Paulo aku, a me Silevano, a me Timoteo, i ka ekalesia o ko Tesalonike, iloko o ke Akua ka Makua, a me ka Haku Iesu Kristo, no oukou ke aloha a me ka pomaikai, mai ke Akua mai, o ko kakou Makua a me ka Haku Iesu Kristo.
2 We always give thanks to God for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
Ke hoomaikai mau aku nei makou i ke Akua no oukou a pau, e hoohiki ana ia oukou i ka makou pule;
3 unceasingly remembering your work of faith, and the labor of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,
E manao mau aku ana i ka hana a ka manaoio o oukou, a me ka hooikaika o ke aloha, a me ke ahonui o ka manaolana i ko kakou Haku, ia Iesu Kristo, imua o ke alo o ke Akua ko kakou Makua:
4 having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,
E ike aku ana hoi, e na hoahanau aloha, i ko oukou waeia mai e ke Akua.
5 because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as you have known of what sort we became among you for your sake,
No ka mea, aole ma ka olelo wale no i hiki aku ai ka makou euanelio io oukou la, aka, ma ka mana no hoi, a me ka Uhane Hemolele, a me ka hooiaio loa; na ike hoi oukou i ke ano o ko makou noho ana iwaena o oukou, no oukou.
6 and you became imitators of us and of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,
A ua hahai mai oukou mamuli o makou a me ka Haku, ua apo mai oukou i ka olelo me ka ehaeha nui, a me ka olioli no ka Uhane Hemolele:
7 so that you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,
Pela i lilo ai oukou i mau alakai no ka poe manaoio a pau i Makedonia a me Akaia.
8 for from you has sounded forth the word of the LORD, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God went forth, so that we have no need to say anything,
No ka mea, mai o oukou aku i pae aku ai ka olelo a ka Haku, aole ma Makedonia a me Akaia wale no, aka, ma ia wahi aku a ia wahi aku, i hoolahaia ae ai ko oukou paulele ana i ke Akua, i ole ai e pono ia makou ke hai hou aku.
9 for they themselves declare concerning us what entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,
No ka mea, na lakou no i hoike mai no kakou, i ke ano o ko makou komo ana iwaena o oukou, a me ko oukou huli ana i ke Akua, mai na'kua kii mai e malama aku i ke Akua ola oiaio;
10 and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.
A e kali hoi i kana Keiki, mai ka lani mai, ana i hoala mai ai, mai ka make mai, ia Iesu, nana kakou e hoopakele i ka inaina e kau mai ana.
