1 Abhathesalonike 1

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

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 Tufumwa ulumbizyo wangulubhe habhili aje yinyu mwinti palatuntabula hunyibutozyituu.

We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning 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.

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 Mwamituu mwaganilye nu Ngulubhi, timanyile akugwe winyuu.

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

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

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

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

7 Agabhoneha mwabhashimanyilo wautii Makedonia Akaiya ibhawitishe.

so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in 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 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 Phepovhio awene bhatazwa uvhoneshelo witu wali bhulili namwe, bhayangasha mwagalushila Ungulubhi afume humazimu na bhombele Ungulubhi umwumwanalyoli.

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

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