Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Tinofanira kuvonga Mwari nguva dzese pamusoro penyu, hama, sezvazvakafanira, nokuti rutendo rwenyu rwunokura zvikurusa, nerudo rweumwe neumwe wenyu mese kune umwe neumwe rwunowanda;

We are obligated to thank God for you all the time, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing more and more, and your love for one another is increasing.

4 nekudaro isu tomene tinozvirumbidza mamuri mumakereke aMwari pamusoro pemoyo murefu wenyu nerutendo mukushushwa kwenyu kwese nematambudziko amunotsunga maari.

That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.

5 Ndicho chiratidzo chekutonga kwakarurama kwaMwari, kuti muverengwe semakafanira ushe hwaMwari, hwamunotambudzikirawo;

All this is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment. And so you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.

6 sezvo chiri chinhu chakarurama kuna Mwari kutsiva dambudziko kune vanokutambudzai,

After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

7 uye kwamuri munotambudzwa, kuzorora pamwe nesu, pakuzarurwa kwaIshe Jesu achibva kudenga nevatumwa vesimba rake,

and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels

8 mumoto unopfuta achitsiva kune vasingazivi Mwari, nekune vasingateereri evhangeri yaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu;

in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

9 vacharangwa nekuparadza kusingaperi, vabviswe pamberi paIshe, nepakubwinya kwesimba rake, (aiōnios g166)

They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might, (aiōnios g166)

10 paachauya kuzorumbidzwa muvatsvene vake, nekuyemurwa mune vese vanotenda (nekuti kupupura kwedu kwamuri kwakatendwa) nezuva iro.

on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.

11 Naizvozvo tinokunyengetereraiwo nguva dzese, kuti Mwari wedu akuverengei makafanirwa kudanwa uye azadzise kuda kwese kwakanaka kwekunaka hwake nebasa rerutendo nesimba;

To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith,

12 kuti zita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu rirumbidzwe mamuri, nemwi maari, zvichienderana nenyasha dzaMwari wedu nedzaIshe Jesu Kristu.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
