1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul, Silvain ak Timothée a legliz Tesalonisyen yo nan Bondye, Papa a ak Senyè a, Jésus Kri: Lagras pou nou ak lapè.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
Nou bay remèsiman a Bondye tout tan pou nou tout e nonmen non nou nan lapriyè nou yo.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
San rete nou sonje travay lafwa nou an, ak èv lanmou nou yo; jan nou te kenbe fèm nan esperans de Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, devan prezans a Bondye, Papa nou.
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
Nou konprann, frè byeneme pa Bondye yo, chwa Li menm de nou an.
5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
Ke levanjil pa nou an pa t vini a nou menm nan pawòl sèlman, men osi nan pouvwa ak nan Lespri Sen an. Li te vini avèk tout asirans, jis jan ou konnen ki kalite moun nou te ye pami nou an, pou koz a nou.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Nou osi te devni imitatè a nou menm e a Senyè a. Konsa, nou te resevwa pawòl la nan anpil tribilasyon, avèk lajwa Lespri Sen an.
7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Konsa, nou te devni yon egzanp pou tout kwayan nan Macédoine ak nan Achaïe yo.
8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.
Paske pawòl a Senyè a te deklare soti nan nou menm, non sèlman nan Macédoine ak Achaïe, men osi chak kote ke lafwa nou anvè Bondye te vin konnen, pou nou pa bezwen di anyen.
9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
Paske yo menm bay rapò de nou; sou jan ou te resevwa nou, ak jan nou te vire vè Bondye pou kite zidòl yo, pou sèvi yon Bondye vivan e vrè,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
epi pou tann Fis Li a soti nan syèl la. Sila Li te fè leve soti nan lanmò a, ki se Jésus, ki delivre nou anba kòlè k ap vini an.
