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.

Saa nhoma yi fi Paulo, Silas ne Timoteo nkyɛn, Wɔde kɔma Tesalonika asafo a wɔyɛ Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo mma no: Adom ne asomdwoe nka mo.

2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

Daa yɛda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo, na yɛkae mo wɔ yɛn mpaebɔ mu nso.

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.

Efisɛ yɛkae mo gyidi a mode di dwuma, mo dɔ a ɛma mutumi de nsi yɛ adwuma ne mo anidaso dennen a mowɔ wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo mu no wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn ne Agya no anim.

4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

Anuanom, yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn dɔ mo nti na wayi mo sɛ ɔno ankasa ne de no.

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.

Sɛ yɛbɛkaa Asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ mo a, ɛnyɛ nsɛm bi kwa, na mmom yegyina tumi ne Honhom Kronkron ne mu nokware mu gyidi so. Munim nnipa ko a na yɛyɛ ɛne sɛnea yɛboaa mo fae.

6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

Musuasuaa yɛn ne Awurade; ɛwɔ mu sɛ muhuu amane de, nanso mode anigye a efi Honhom Kronkron no mu gyee asɛm no.

7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Ɛnam so ma mobɛyɛɛ nhwɛso maa agyidifo a wɔwɔ Makedonia ne Hela nyinaa.

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.

Nsɛm a moka faa Awurade ho no ankɔ Makedonia ne Hela nko, na mmom gyidi a mowɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn mu no ho asɛm adu baabiara. Asɛm biara nni hɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka bio.

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,

Obiara kamfo sɛnea mugyee yɛn ne sɛnea motwee mo ho fii abosom ho kɔsom nokware Nyankopɔn a ɔte ase daa no,

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

na motwɛn ne Ba a ofi ɔsoro no; Yesu a onyan no fii awufo mu a ogye yɛn fi Onyankopɔn abufuw a ɛreba no mu no.
