1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
uPaulo, Silwano nu Timatheo ku Itekeelo nila ku Thesaloniki mung'wa Itunda Tata nua Mukulu uYesu Kristo. Ukende nu ulyuuku utule nu nyenye.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Ki ipumya ilumbi kung'wa Itunda kila nkua ku nsoko anyu mihi, matungo ni kuumuta mu malompi itu.
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Kimikimbukiilya shanga kukondya ntongeela ang'wa Itunda Tata i ilimo anyu nu uhuiili, kinya ngulu nika ulowa, nu ugimya nu ukete i kinyangulu kunsoko a panyambele mu Mukulu uYesu Kristo.
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election by God.
Anyandugu ni muloilwe ni Itunda, kulingile u witangwi nua nyu.
5 For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
Ni kinya inkani ninza ni itu nai izile kitalanyu shanga ku nkani duu, ila ga nu ku ngulu, mu Ng'wau Ng'waelu, nu mu kulu kuulu. Ku mpyani yiyo, mulingile ga nu sese ai katulaa antu a mpyani kii mukati anyu kunsoko anyu.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:
Ai matulaa antu a kuigiilya usese ku Mukulu, anga nai musingiiye u lukani mu lwago ki iloeelya ni lipembeeye kung'wa Ng'wau Ng'welu.
7 So that ye were examples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
Ni mapumilo akwe, mikatula mpyani ku ihi mu Mekadonia ni Akaiya naza ahuiie.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
Ku nsoko kupuma kitalanyuu lukani nulang'wa Itunda lekondaniie pihi. nu sese ku Mekadonia ni Akaiya ing'wene du. Badala akwe, ku kila kianza u uhuiili nua nyu kung'wa Itunda lukondaniile pihi. Ni mapumilo akwe, shanga kukete nsula kuligitya kihi.
9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
Kunsoko enso akola akupindula u upembyi nuitu ai watulaa wa mpyani kii kati anyu. Akuganula nai mu mupilukie Itunda niiza mupanga hangi nua tai.
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.
Ai apumilye i nkani kina mu mulindiie u Ng'wana nuakwe kupuma kilunde, nai wiukigwe kupuma ku ashi. Nu uyu ingi Yesu, nui kuika ilyuuku kupuma mu ikuo nilipembilye.
