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

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.

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

4 Mwamituu mwaganilye nu Ngulubhi, timanyile akugwe winyuu.

since we know, brethren beloved of God, that he hath chosen you;

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

because the gospel preached by us came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye well know what sort of persons we became among you for your sake.

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

And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy from the Holy Spirit;

7 Agabhoneha mwabhashimanyilo wautii Makedonia Akaiya ibhawitishe.

so that ye became an example to all that 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 hath sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God hath become known; so that we need not say anything [[about you]].

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

For they themselves are reporting concerning us what kind of reception we had among you, and how ye turned to 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 heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.
