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.

2 Anyị na-ekele Chineke ekele mgbe niile, na-echetakwa unu nʼekpere anyị.

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

3 Mgbe niile ka anyị na-echeta nʼekpere nye Chineke bụ Nna, ihe gbasara ọrụ unu nke sitere nʼokwukwe, ya na ịrụsị ọrụ ike unu nke sitere nʼịhụnanya, na iguzosi ike unu nke sitere nʼolileanya unu nwere nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.

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;

4 Ụmụnna anyị, anyị maara na Chineke hụrụ unu nʼanya nke ukwuu, họpụta unu.

Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

5 Nʼihi na ọbụghị naanị nke okwu ọnụ ka oziọma anyị rutere unu, kama ọ bụkwa nʼike, na nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ nakwa mmetụta nke dị omimi. Unu maara ụdị ndụ anyị biri nʼetiti unu nʼihi unu.

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.

6 Nke a mere unu ji bụrụ ndị na-eṅomi anyị na Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na unu jiri ọṅụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na-enye nabata oziọma ahụ, nʼagbanyeghị ọtụtụ ahụhụ dị ukwuu nke o wetaara unu.

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

7 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu ghọrọ ihe ilere anya nye ndị niile kwere ekwe nọ na Masidonia na Akaịa.

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

8 Ugbu a, e sitela na ndụ unu mee ka oziọma Onyenwe anyị gbasaa gabiga Masidonia na Akaịa. Nʼihi na a na-anụ ihe banyere okwukwe unu nwere na Chineke nʼebe niile. Ya mere, ọ dịkwaghị mkpa ka anyị kwuo ihe banyere ya.

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.

9 Nʼihi na ha onwe ha na-ebu ụzọ gwa anyị ihe banyere nnabata unu nabatara anyị, na otu unu si site nʼikpere arụsị tụgharịa, bido ife Chineke dị ndụ, onye bụkwa ezi Chineke,

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;

10 na i chere Ọkpara ya onye ga-esi nʼeluigwe, onye o sitere na ndị nwụrụ anwụ kulite, Jisọs, onye na-anapụta anyị nʼiwe nke na-abịa.

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.
