1 Thessalonians 1
1 To the Thessalonian Church in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, from Paul, Silas, and Timothy. May God bless you and give you peace.
Ajino bhaluwa jino kujikopoka kwangu nne a Pauli, na a Shilibhanushi, na a Timoteo. Tunakunnjandishilanga nninginji ku likanisha lya bha Teshalonike, bhandunji bha Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu. Tunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele.
2 We always mention you in our prayers and thank God for you all;
Tunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe, kwa ligongo lyenunji mmowe na kunkumbushilanga kila putukwaajuga a Nnungu.
3 recalling continually before our God and Father the efforts that have resulted from your faith, the toil prompted by your love, and the patient endurance sustained by your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Tunakumbushila shinkuti languyanga ngulupai jenunji kwa pinga, na shinkuti lajililanga tenda liengo kwa tumbilila na kulupalila, na shinshite kwiishimilikanga ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 Brothers, whom God loves, we know that he has chosen you,
Ashaalongo, tumumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhanakumpinganga na bhashikunng'agulanga mmanganje bhandu bhabho,
5 because the Good News that we brought came home to you, not merely as so many words, but with a power and a fulness of conviction due to the Holy Spirit. For you know the life that we lived among you for your good.
pabha putwannungushiyenje Ngani ja Mmbone jila nngabha kwa malobhepe, ikabhe kwa mashili na kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, tulikumumanya kuti ntengago ni gwa kweli. Mmumanyinji shitwaashite tama na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpwaikanje.
6 And you yourselves began to follow, not only our example, but the Master’s also; and, in spite of much suffering, you welcomed the Message with a joy inspired by the Holy Spirit,
Mmanganya mwashinkukaguyanga itwatendaga uwe na ibhatendaga Bhakulungwa. Nkali mwapotekwenje kwa kaje, mwashinkuuposhelanga ntenga kwa angalala kukopoka kuka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
7 and so became a pattern to all who believed in Christ throughout Macedonia and Greece.
Kwa nneyo mmanganya nshibhanganga shilangulo sha kagulwa na bhandunji bhowe, bhaakulupalilanga bha ku Makedonia na bha ku Akaya.
8 For it was from you that the Lord’s Message resounded throughout Macedonia and Greece; and, more than that, your faith in God has become known far and wide; so that there is no need for us to say another word.
Pabha, koposhela kwenu mmanganyanji, ntenga gwa Bhakulungwa ushumile, nngabha ku Makedonia na ku Akayape, ikabhe ngulupai jenunji kwa a Nnungu jishishuma mmbali yowe. Numbe twangali sha bheleketa kabhili.
9 Indeed, in speaking about us, the people themselves tell of the reception you gave us, and how, turning to God from your idols, you became servants of the true and living God,
Pabha ashaayenenji bhanatalashiyanga ga mwanja gwetu kunngwenunji, shimwatuposhelenje na shimwashite kuilekanga yanamu, nikwaatendebhushila a Nnungu bhali na gumi na bha kweli,
10 and are now awaiting the return from Heaven of his Son whom he raised from the dead — Jesus, our deliverer from the Coming Wrath.
nikwaalinda Bhanabhabho kopoka kunnungu, yani a Yeshu. Bhayushiywe na a Nnungu, bhakututapula na nnjimwa jikwiya ja a Nnungu.
