Tesalonike I 1

1 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.

Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Ke hoomaikai mau aku nei makou i ke Akua no oukou a pau, e hoohiki ana ia oukou i ka makou pule;

Grace and peace to you. We give thanks to God always for all of you, keeping the memory of you in our prayers without ceasing,

3 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:

remembering your work of faith, and hardship, and charity, and enduring hope, in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father.

4 E ike aku ana hoi, e na hoahanau aloha, i ko oukou waeia mai e ke Akua.

For we know, brothers, beloved of God, of your election.

5 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.

For our Gospel has not been among you in word alone, but also in virtue, and in the Holy Spirit, and with a great fullness, in the same manner as you know we have acted among you for your sake.

6 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:

And so, you became imitators of us and of the Lord, accepting the Word in the midst of great tribulation, but with the joy of the Holy Spirit.

7 Pela i lilo ai oukou i mau alakai no ka poe manaoio a pau i Makedonia a me Akaia.

So have you become a pattern for all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 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.

For from you, the Word of the Lord was spread, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith, which is toward God, has advanced so much so that we do not need to speak to you about anything.

9 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;

For others are reporting among us of the kind of acceptance we had among you, and how you were converted from idols to God, to the service of the living and true God,

10 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.

and to the expectation of his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who has rescued us from the approaching wrath.
