1 Tesalonikafoɔ 1

1 Nwoma yi firi Paulo, Silas ne Timoteo nkyɛn, Yɛde kɔma Tesalonika asafo a wɔyɛ Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo mma no: Adom ne asomdwoeɛ nka mo.

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 Daa yɛda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo, na yɛkae mo wɔ yɛn mpaeɛbɔ mu nso.

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

3 Ɛfiri sɛ, yɛkae mo gyidie a mode di dwuma, mo dɔ a ɛma motumi de nsi yɛ adwuma ne mo anidasoɔ denden a mowɔ wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo mu no wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn ne Agya no anim.

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 Anuanom, yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn dɔ mo enti na wayi mo sɛ ɔno ankasa ne deɛ no.

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

5 Sɛ yɛbɛkaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo a, ɛnyɛ nsɛm bi kwa, na mmom, yɛgyina tumi ne Honhom Kronkron ne mu nokorɛ mu gyidie so. Monim nnipa ko a na yɛyɛ ɛne sɛdeɛ yɛboaa mo.

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 Mosuasuaa yɛn ne Awurade; na ɛwom sɛ mohunuu amane deɛ, nanso mode anigyeɛ a ɛfiri Honhom Kronkron no mu gyee asɛm no.

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

7 Ɛnam so maa mobɛyɛɛ nhwɛsoɔ maa agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Makedonia ne Hela no nyinaa.

so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 Nsɛm a moka faa Awurade ho no ankɔ Makedonia ne Hela nko, na mmom, gyidie a mowɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no ho asɛm aduru baabiara. Asɛm biara nni hɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka bio.

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 Obiara kamfo sɛdeɛ mogyee yɛn ne sɛdeɛ motwee mo ho firii abosom ho kɔsom nokorɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase daa no,

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 na motwɛn ne Ba a ɔfiri ɔsoro no; Yesu a ɔnyanee no firii awufoɔ mu a ɔgye yɛn firi Onyankopɔn abufuo a ɛreba no mu no.

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