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.

Pauro, Sirasi naTimoti, kukereke yavaTesaronika muna Mwari Baba naIshe Jesu Kristu: Nyasha norugare ngazvive nemi.

2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Tinogara tichivonga Mwari nokuda kwenyu mose, tichikutaurai muminyengetero yedu.

3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

Tinoramba tichirangarira pamberi paMwari wedu naBaba vedu, basa renyu rinobva pakutenda, nokushanda kwenyu kunobva parudo, uye nokutsungirira kwenyu kunobva patariro iri muna Ishe Jesu Kristu.

4 Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

Nokuti tinoziva, hama dzinodikanwa naMwari, kuti akakusarudzai,

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.

nokuti vhangeri redu harina kuuya kwamuri namashoko bedzi, asi nesimbawo, noMweya Mutsvene uye nokuziva kwakadzama. Munoziva kuti takagara sei pakati penyu nokuda kwenyu.

6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

Makava vateveri vedu uye nevaIshe; pakati pokutambudzika kukuru, makagamuchira shoko nomufaro unopiwa naMweya Mutsvene.

7 So that ye were examples to all that believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.

Nokudaro makava muenzaniso kuvatendi vose vari muMasedhonia neAkaya.

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.

Shoko raShe rakanzwika kubva kwamuri kwete muMasedhonia neAkaya bedzi, kutenda kwenyu muna Mwari kwakazivikanwa kwose kwose. Naizvozvo hatifaniri kutaura chinhu pamusoro pazvo,

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;

nokuti ivo pachavo vanozivisa kuti takagamuchirwa sei navo. Vanotaura kuti makadzokera sei kuna Mwari muchibva kuzvifananidzo kuti mushumire Mwari mupenyu uye wechokwadi,

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.

uye kuti mumirire Mwanakomana wake anobva kudenga, uyo waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa, Jesu, anotinunura kubva pakutsamwa kuchauya.
