1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.
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 give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at 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 unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of 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 knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.
E ike aku ana hoi, e na hoahanau aloha, i ko oukou waeia mai e ke Akua.
5 For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:
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 and ye became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation 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 ye became models to all that 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 the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need 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 relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye 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 await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
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.
