1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace.
Ajino bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne a Pauli, na a Shilibhanushi, na a Timoteo. Tunakunnjandishilanga nninginji ku likanisha lya bha Teshalonike, bhandunji bha Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu. Tunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
Tunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe, kwa ligongo lyenunji mmowe na kunkumbushilanga kila putukwaajuga a Nnungu.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and perseverance in the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father;
Tunakumbushila shinkuti languyanga ngulupai jenunji kwa pinga, na shinkuti lajililanga tenda liengo kwa tumbilila na kulupalila, na shinshite kwiishimilikanga ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 since we know, brethren beloved of God, that he hath chosen you;
Ashaalongo, tumumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhanakumpinganga na bhashikunng'agulanga mmanganje bhandu bhabho,
5 because the gospel preached by us came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye well know what sort of persons we became among you for your sake.
pabha putwannungushiyenje Ngani ja Mmbone jila nngabha kwa malobhepe, ikabhe kwa mashili na kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, tulikumumanya kuti ntengago ni gwa kweli. Mmumanyinji shitwaashite tama na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpwaikanje.
6 And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy from the Holy Spirit;
Mmanganya mwashinkukaguyanga itwatendaga uwe na ibhatendaga Bhakulungwa. Nkali mwapotekwenje kwa kaje, mwashinkuuposhelanga ntenga kwa angalala kukopoka kuka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
7 so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Kwa nneyo mmanganya nshibhanganga shilangulo sha kagulwa na bhandunji bhowe, bhaakulupalilanga bha ku Makedonia na bha ku Akaya.
8 For from you the word of the Lord hath sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God hath become known; so that we need not say anything [[about you]].
Pabha, koposhela kwenu mmanganyanji, ntenga gwa Bhakulungwa ushumile, nngabha ku Makedonia na ku Akayape, ikabhe ngulupai jenunji kwa a Nnungu jishishuma mmbali yowe. Numbe twangali sha bheleketa kabhili.
9 For they themselves are reporting concerning us what kind of reception we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,
Pabha ashaayenenji bhanatalashiyanga ga mwanja gwetu kunngwenunji, shimwatuposhelenje na shimwashite kuilekanga yanamu, nikwaatendebhushila a Nnungu bhali na gumi na bha kweli,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.
nikwaalinda Bhanabhabho kopoka kunnungu, yani a Yeshu. Bhayushiywe na a Nnungu, bhakututapula na nnjimwa jikwiya ja a Nnungu.
