1 Paulo, Silwano nu Timotheo wishivanza lya Tethesalonike pipo ungulubhe uDada nu Gosi u Yesu U Kilisti. Wene nu waushe bhumwe.

PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ: grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Tufumwa ulumbizyo wangulubhe habhili aje yinyu mwinti palatuntabula hunyibutozyituu.

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

3 Tubhabuha witagalila lya Ngulubhi nu Dada witagalila lya yinyuuu yitwiha, ubhovi lyi lungano, unkumbelezyo wuli nuda damazu uwami wapamandii uliwadada uYesu Kilisti.

without ceasing calling to mind your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

4 Mwamituu mwaganilye nu Ngulubhi, timanyile akugwe winyuu.

knowing, brethren, beloved of God, your election.

5 Ni ishi izyo lyituu shalyaheza hulitii sigawino ngwatuu, wikhone nupepo usangalusu. Lelo wiisho ishawahenza mmenye atii twali bholii muhatiye yinyuu lihabha lyalimwi.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in great fulness of assurance; as ye know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.

6 Mwalibhantu wejeshele atii nungosi, nishi pamwoshile izyo namaimba nubhosu uufuma upepo usangalusu.

And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost;

7 Agabhoneha mwabhashimanyilo wautii Makedonia Akaiya ibhawitishe.

so that ye became models for all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 Pipo izyo lya Ngulubhi lyenilemwutii sana wa Mekadonia na Akaiya bhene. Nantele yititiolyi nyulwa Ngulubhi humanyishe woti. Efumeiepo hatuwanza Eyanjehahonti.

For from you sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only into Macedonia and Achaia, but into every region also your fidelity towards God is gone out, so that we have no need to say any thing.

9 Phepovhio awene bhatazwa uvhoneshelo witu wali bhulili namwe, bhayangasha mwagalushila Ungulubhi afume humazimu na bhombele Ungulubhi umwumwanalyoli.

For they publish concerning you what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve the living and true God,

10 Bhafumizye inongwa aje mugula umwana wakwe humanya, yazyuzyusiwe afumehuzimuu. Yunanu yu Yesu yatubhiha bhaushe afumee wilyoyo lyalayinza.

and to wait for his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
