1 Thessalonians 1
1 I PAUL and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father and in our Lord Jesus the Messiah: Grace be with you, and peace.
Paulusi, Silvanus, ni Timotea ku nkereke i vena Matesolonika mwe Ireza Ishetu ni Simwine Jesu Keresite. Chishemo ni nkozo zive nenwe.
2 We give thanks to God at all times, on account of you all, and remember you continually in our prayers:
Inako yonse tuha vu itumero kwa Ireza chenu mwense, chi tu mi sumpa mu ntapero.
3 and we call to mind before God the Father the works of your faith, and the toil of your love, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
Tu zeza cha ku sa siya havusu vwa Ireza wetu ni Isi mitendo yenu ye ntumero, mutendo ye rato, ni kuliverera kwe nsepo kwa ku vusu mwa Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
4 For we know your election, my brethren, beloved of God.
Mizwale va sakiiwa kwa Ireza, twizi ku sumpwa kwenu,
5 For our preaching among you, was not in words only; but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in genuine persuasion. Ye also know, how we were among you for your sakes.
mu iveziri ivangeli yetu kwenu isiñi mu liinzwi feela, kono hape ni mu maata, mu Luhoho lu Jolola, ni mu initifazo tota. Mu nzila iswana, nemwe hape mufuta nzi wa vantu mutu ve kalile mu kati kenu ke vaka lyenu.
6 And ye became imitators of us, and of our Lord, in that ye received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
Mu va sanduki valikanyisi vetu ni vwa Simwine, sina ha muva tambuli liinzwi cha vukukutu ni nyakalalo izwa ku Luhuho lu Jolola.
7 And ye were a pattern for all the believers who are in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Ku mamani mani mu va sanduki mutala ku vonse mwa Sedoniya ni Achiya va zumina.
8 For from you the word of our Lord sounded forth; and not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place, your faith in God is heard of; so that we have no need to say any thing concerning you.
Mukuti kuzwa kwenu liinzwi lya Ireza li va lili hanze, mi insiñi feela mwa Masedoniya ni Achiya. Konohe, ni ku chimwi ni chimwi civaka i ntumero yenu mwa Ireza mu iva hiti. Ma mani mani, katu suni ku wamba cimwi.
9 For they declare, what an ingress we had to you, and how ye turned from the worship of idols unto God, that ye might worship the living and true God;
Kakuli avo vene va viha mwiziro u tu vena mukati kenu. Va mu rwilwa mu mu veziri kwa Ireza kuzwa ku siswaniso ku tendera yo hala ni we niti Ireza.
10 while ye wait for his Son from heaven, that Jesus whom he raised from the dead, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
Va viha kuti mu lindire Mwanakwe kuzwa kwi wulu, yava vuusi ku va fwire. Uzu nji Jesu, u lukulula iswe ku vukali vu kezite.
