1 Watesaloniki 1
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.
To the Thessalonian church in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, from Paul, Silas, and Timothy. May God bless you and give you peace.
2 Mashaka goseri nonga maya gashii Mlungu kwajili ya mwenga, na kuhola mashaka goseri mkuluwa kwetu.
We always mention you in our prayers and thank God for you all;
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.
recalling continually before our God and Father the efforts that have resulted from your faith, the toil prompted by your love, and the patient endurance sustained by your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Walongu wayetu tuvimana handa Mlungu kawafira na handa kawasyagula muweri wantu wakuwi.
Friends, whom God loves, we know that he has chosen you,
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.
because the good news that we brought came home to you, not merely as so many words, but with a power and a fulness of conviction due to the Holy Spirit. For you know the life that we lived among you for your good.
6 Mwenga mfatiti mfanu gwetu, mumjera Mtuwa. Tembera mbeziwitwi nentu, muuyangiti ujumbi awu kwa nemeleru kulawa kwa Rohu Mnanagala.
And you yourselves began to follow, not only our example, but the Master’s also; and, in spite of much suffering, you welcomed the message with a joy inspired by the Holy Spirit,
7 Hangu mwenga mwa mfanu guherepa kwa shipinga sha wajimira woseri wa Makedoniya na Akaya.
and so became a pattern to all who believed in Christ throughout Macedonia and Greece.
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 it was from you that the Lord’s message resounded throughout Macedonia and Greece; and, more than that, your faith in God has become known far and wide; so that there is no need for us to say another word.
9 Wantu awa wankuyowera kutyangira kwetu kwiza kwa mwenga, ntambu yamvilekiti kuviguwira vinyagu, wamtenderi Mlungu yakawera mkomu na gwa nakaka.
Indeed, in speaking about us, the people themselves tell of the reception you gave us, and how, turning to God from your idols, you became servants of the true and living 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 are now awaiting the return from heaven of his Son whom he raised from the dead – Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
