Paul and Silvanus and Timothy—unto the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, —favour unto you, and peace!
2 Gbogbo ìgbà ni a máa ń fi ọpẹ́ fún Ọlọ́run nítorí yín, a sì ń gbàdúrà fún un yín nígbà gbogbo pẹ̀lú.
We are giving thanks unto God continually, concerning you all, making, mention, in our prayers,
3 A ń rántí yin ni àìsimi nígbà gbogbo níwájú Ọlọ́run àti Baba nípa iṣẹ́ ìgbàgbọ́ yín, iṣẹ́ ìfẹ́ yín àti ìdúró ṣinṣin ìrètí yín nínú Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa.
Unceasingly, remembering—your work of faith and labour of love and endurance of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:
4 Àwa mọ̀ dájúdájú, ẹ̀yin olùfẹ́ wa, wí pé Ọlọ́run ti yàn yín fẹ́ fún ara rẹ̀.
Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election, —
5 Nítorí pé, nígbà tí a mú ìyìnrere tọ̀ yín wà, kò rí bí ọ̀rọ̀ lásán tí kò ní ìtumọ̀ sí i yín, bí kò ṣe pẹ̀lú agbára, pẹ̀lú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, pẹ̀lú ìdánilójú tó jinlẹ̀. Bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ irú ènìyàn tí àwa jẹ́ láàrín yín nítorí yín.
How that, our glad-message, came not unto you, in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, —even as ye know what manner of men we became unto you, for your sake;
6 Tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin pàápàá di aláwòkọ́ṣe wa àti ti Olúwa, ìdí ni pé, ẹ gba ẹ̀rí náà láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé, ó mú wàhálà àti ìbànújẹ́ wá fún yín.
And, ye, became, imitators of us, and of the Lord, giving welcome unto the word, in much tribulation, with joy of Holy Spirit;
7 Tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin pàápàá fi di àpẹẹrẹ fún gbogbo àwọn onígbàgbọ́ tó wà ní agbègbè Makedonia àti Akaia.
So that ye became an ensample unto all who were coming to the faith, in Macedonia and in Achaia:
8 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti gbilẹ̀ níbi gbogbo láti ọ̀dọ̀ yín láti agbègbè Makedonia àti Akaia lọ, ìgbàgbọ́ yín nínú Ọlọ́run tàn káàkiri. Nítorí náà, a kò ni láti ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ń sọ fún wọn nípa rẹ̀.
From you, in fact, hath sounded forth the word of the Lord—not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but, in every place, your faith which is toward God, hath gone forth, so that, no need, have we to be saying anything;
9 Ṣe ni wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí i ròyìn fún wa bí ẹ ti gbà wá lálejò. Wọ́n ròyìn fún wa pẹ̀lú pé, ẹ ti yípadà kúrò nínú ìbọ̀rìṣà àti wí pé Ọlọ́run alààyè àti òtítọ́ nìkan ṣoṣo ni ẹ ń sìn,
For, they themselves, concerning us, do tell—what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from the idols—to be serving a living and true God,
10 àti láti fi ojú ṣọ́nà fún ìpadàbọ̀ Ọmọ rẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá, ẹni tí ó jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú, Jesu, ẹni tí ó gbà wá lọ́wọ́ ìbínú tí ń bọ̀.
And awaiting his Son out of the heavens—whom he raised from among the dead, —Jesus: Who is to rescue us out of the anger that is coming.
