1 Thessalonians 1

1 This letter comes from Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians who belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May you have grace and peace!

Paulo, Silwano nu Timotheo wishivanza lya Tethesalonike pipo ungulubhe uDada nu Gosi u Yesu U Kilisti. Wene nu waushe bhumwe.

2 We are always thanking God for all of you, never forgetting you in our prayers.

Tufumwa ulumbizyo wangulubhe habhili aje yinyu mwinti palatuntabula hunyibutozyituu.

3 We remember you before our God and Father—how you put your trust in him into practice, how you work hard in love, and how you patiently wait in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Tubhabuha witagalila lya Ngulubhi nu Dada witagalila lya yinyuuu yitwiha, ubhovi lyi lungano, unkumbelezyo wuli nuda damazu uwami wapamandii uliwadada uYesu Kilisti.

4 Brothers and sisters, we already know that you are loved by God and are very special to him.

Mwamituu mwaganilye nu Ngulubhi, timanyile akugwe winyuu.

5 The good news we brought to you wasn't just words, but had power too, for the Holy Spirit completely convinced you. In the same way you know what kind of men we are since we demonstrated to you that we were working for your benefit.

Ni ishi izyo lyituu shalyaheza hulitii sigawino ngwatuu, wikhone nupepo usangalusu. Lelo wiisho ishawahenza mmenye atii twali bholii muhatiye yinyuu lihabha lyalimwi.

6 You were imitating us and the Lord when you received the message, for despite your troubles you experienced the joy the Holy Spirit gives.

Mwalibhantu wejeshele atii nungosi, nishi pamwoshile izyo namaimba nubhosu uufuma upepo usangalusu.

7 So you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Greece!

Agabhoneha mwabhashimanyilo wautii Makedonia Akaiya ibhawitishe.

8 You have broadcast the Lord's message, not only in Macedonia and Greece, but everywhere people have heard of your trust in God—so there's no need for us to tell anybody about it!

Pipo izyo lya Ngulubhi lyenilemwutii sana wa Mekadonia na Akaiya bhene. Nantele yititiolyi nyulwa Ngulubhi humanyishe woti. Efumeiepo hatuwanza Eyanjehahonti.

9 In fact they talk about what a marvelous welcome you gave us, how you abandoned idols and turned to God, how you serve the true and living God,

Phepovhio awene bhatazwa uvhoneshelo witu wali bhulili namwe, bhayangasha mwagalushila Ungulubhi afume humazimu na bhombele Ungulubhi umwumwanalyoli.

10 as you look forward to the coming of his Son from heaven—Jesus, the one God raised from the dead, who will save us from the judgment to come.

Bhafumizye inongwa aje mugula umwana wakwe humanya, yazyuzyusiwe afumehuzimuu. Yunanu yu Yesu yatubhiha bhaushe afumee wilyoyo lyalayinza.
