1 Neni paulu na Silwanu na Timotewu kwa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu wa Tesaloniki, ndo wantu wakuwi Tati Mlungu, na gwa Mtuwa Yesu Kristu. Manemu na ponga gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

2 Mashaka goseri nonga maya gashii Mlungu kwajili ya mwenga, na kuhola mashaka goseri mkuluwa kwetu.

We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

3 Kulongolu kwa Mlungu Tati gwetu tuwahola ntambu yamlanguziya njimiru yenu kwa matendu, ufiru wenu ntambu yauweza kutenda lihengu kwa kugangamala, na ntambu litumbiru lyenu mumtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

4 Walongu wayetu tuvimana handa Mlungu kawafira na handa kawasyagula muweri wantu wakuwi.

We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

5 Toziya shipindi patuwabwelireni Shisoweru Shiwagira shilii shiweriti ndiri shisoweru hera, kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala patuwera na unakaka handa ujumbi awu uweriti wanakaka. Muvimana ntambu yatulikaliti pamuhera na mwenga, tulikala kwa mota ya mwenga.

and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of persons we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

6 Mwenga mfatiti mfanu gwetu, mumjera Mtuwa. Tembera mbeziwitwi nentu, muuyangiti ujumbi awu kwa nemeleru kulawa kwa Rohu Mnanagala.

You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

7 Hangu mwenga mwa mfanu guherepa kwa shipinga sha wajimira woseri wa Makedoniya na Akaya.

so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 Toziya kulawirana na gangamalu ya mwenga ujumbi wa Mtuwa upikinirika aku ndiri Makedoniya na Akaya hera, kumbiti njimiru yenu kwa Mlungu yenea poseri. Kayi tufira ndiri kutakula nentu.

For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we do not need to say anything.

9 Wantu awa wankuyowera kutyangira kwetu kwiza kwa mwenga, ntambu yamvilekiti kuviguwira vinyagu, wamtenderi Mlungu yakawera mkomu na gwa nakaka.

For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

10 Na vinu wangumhepera Mwana gwakuwi kasuluki kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, Mwana ayu ndo Yesu, mweni Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti kulawa kwa wahowiti na mweni kankutulopoziya mumaya ga Mlungu yagayiza.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
