1 Vathesalonike 1

1 UPaulo, Silwano nu Timoi kutembile ja va Thesalonike mwa Nguluve Nhaata nu Mutwa Yesu Kilisite. Ulusungu nulutengano fivisaghe numue.

Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be granted to you.

2 Jatu tukumwongesia uNguluve vwimila panotukuvatambula munyifunyo situ.

We continually give thanks to God because of you all, while we make mention of you in our prayers.

3 Tukujikumbuka kisila kudugha pamaso gha Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu, imbombo jinu ija lwitiko, nulwakughimba mulughano, na mulugudo ulunyalukangafu vwimila nu lwa pa Mutwa Yesu Kilisite.

For we never fail to remember your works of faith and labours of love and your persistent and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father;

4 Vanyalukolo mwevano mughanilue nu Nguluve, tukagula ulwitiko lwinu.

knowing as we do, brethren, that you are beloved by God and that He has chosen you.

5 Na vule ilivangili litu likisile kulyumue nakwekuti kulisio lyene, looli palikimo ni ngufu, mwa Mhepo mwimike na mwa kyang'ani. mu uluo, mkagula kange kuti tulyale vanhu vaki n'kate mulyumwe Kwaajili jinu.

The Good News that we brought you did not come to you in words only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, for you know the sort of men we became among you, as examples for your sakes.

6 Mulyale vanhu vakutwigha usue nu Mutwa, ndavule fino mulyupile ilisio mulupumuko, nulukelo lunoluhuma kwa Mhepo Mwimike.

And you followed the pattern set you by us and by the Master, after you had received the Message amid severe persecution, and yet with the joy which the Holy Spirit gives,

7 Namahumilo ghake, mulyale kihwani ku voni mumakedonia na mukaiya vano vikwitikila

so that you became a pattern to all the believers throughout Macedonia and Greece.

8 ulwakuva kuhuma kulyumue ilisio lya Nguluve lyeneile kwoni, nakwekuti kuvamakedonia na va kaiya vene. nimbale soni ulwitiko lwinu mwa Nuluve jeneile kyoni. namahumilo ghake, natulonda kujova kyokyoni.

For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

9 lwakuva vavuo vene vijova uvwisilo vwitu lulyale lwa ndani mu lyumue. vipanga fino musyetukile uNguluve kuhuma mu kihwani na kukumbo mbela uNguluve juno mwumi nu ghwa lweli.

For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

10 Vakahumila imhola kuti mukumughula umwana ghwake kuhuma kuvulanga, juno asyukile kuhuma muvafue. Ghwope uju ghwe Yesu, junoikutuviika vweru kuhuma mung'halasi jino jikwisa.

and to await the return from Heaven of His Son, whom He raised from among the dead--even Jesus, our Deliverer from God's coming anger.
