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.
Paulusi, Silvanus, ni Timotea ku nkereke i vena Matesolonika mwe Ireza Ishetu ni Simwine Jesu Keresite. Chishemo ni nkozo zive nenwe.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
Inako yonse tuha vu itumero kwa Ireza chenu mwense, chi tu mi sumpa mu ntapero.
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.
Tu zeza cha ku sa siya havusu vwa Ireza wetu ni Isi mitendo yenu ye ntumero, mutendo ye rato, ni kuliverera kwe nsepo kwa ku vusu mwa Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
Mizwale va sakiiwa kwa Ireza, twizi ku sumpwa kwenu,
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.
mu iveziri ivangeli yetu kwenu isiñi mu liinzwi feela, kono hape ni mu maata, mu Luhoho lu Jolola, ni mu initifazo tota. Mu nzila iswana, nemwe hape mufuta nzi wa vantu mutu ve kalile mu kati kenu ke vaka lyenu.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Mu va sanduki valikanyisi vetu ni vwa Simwine, sina ha muva tambuli liinzwi cha vukukutu ni nyakalalo izwa ku Luhuho lu Jolola.
7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Ku mamani mani mu va sanduki mutala ku vonse mwa Sedoniya ni Achiya va zumina.
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.
Mukuti kuzwa kwenu liinzwi lya Ireza li va lili hanze, mi insiñi feela mwa Masedoniya ni Achiya. Konohe, ni ku chimwi ni chimwi civaka i ntumero yenu mwa Ireza mu iva hiti. Ma mani mani, katu suni ku wamba cimwi.
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,
Kakuli avo vene va viha mwiziro u tu vena mukati kenu. Va mu rwilwa mu mu veziri kwa Ireza kuzwa ku siswaniso ku tendera yo hala ni we niti Ireza.
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Va viha kuti mu lindire Mwanakwe kuzwa kwi wulu, yava vuusi ku va fwire. Uzu nji Jesu, u lukulula iswe ku vukali vu kezite.
