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.
NA Paulo aku, a me Silevano, a me Timoteo, i ka ekalesia o ko Tesalonike, iloko o ke Akua ka Makua, a me ka Haku Iesu Kristo, no oukou ke aloha a me ka pomaikai, mai ke Akua mai, o ko kakou Makua a me ka Haku Iesu Kristo.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
Ke hoomaikai mau aku nei makou i ke Akua no oukou a pau, e hoohiki ana ia oukou i ka makou pule;
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.
E manao mau aku ana i ka hana a ka manaoio o oukou, a me ka hooikaika o ke aloha, a me ke ahonui o ka manaolana i ko kakou Haku, ia Iesu Kristo, imua o ke alo o ke Akua ko kakou Makua:
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
E ike aku ana hoi, e na hoahanau aloha, i ko oukou waeia mai e ke Akua.
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.
No ka mea, aole ma ka olelo wale no i hiki aku ai ka makou euanelio io oukou la, aka, ma ka mana no hoi, a me ka Uhane Hemolele, a me ka hooiaio loa; na ike hoi oukou i ke ano o ko makou noho ana iwaena o oukou, no oukou.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
A ua hahai mai oukou mamuli o makou a me ka Haku, ua apo mai oukou i ka olelo me ka ehaeha nui, a me ka olioli no ka Uhane Hemolele:
7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Pela i lilo ai oukou i mau alakai no ka poe manaoio a pau i Makedonia a me Akaia.
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.
No ka mea, mai o oukou aku i pae aku ai ka olelo a ka Haku, aole ma Makedonia a me Akaia wale no, aka, ma ia wahi aku a ia wahi aku, i hoolahaia ae ai ko oukou paulele ana i ke Akua, i ole ai e pono ia makou ke hai hou aku.
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,
No ka mea, na lakou no i hoike mai no kakou, i ke ano o ko makou komo ana iwaena o oukou, a me ko oukou huli ana i ke Akua, mai na'kua kii mai e malama aku i ke Akua ola oiaio;
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
A e kali hoi i kana Keiki, mai ka lani mai, ana i hoala mai ai, mai ka make mai, ia Iesu, nana kakou e hoopakele i ka inaina e kau mai ana.
