1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nze Pawulo ne Sirwano ne Timoseewo, tuwandiikira Ekkanisa ey’Abasessaloniika, abantu ba Katonda Kitaffe ne Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, ekisa n’emirembe bibeerenga gye muli.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Bulijjo twebaza Katonda ku lwammwe mwenna era tubasabira obutayosa,
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, (agape) and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
nga tujjukira omulimu gwammwe ogw’okukkiriza, n’okufuba okw’okwagala n’okugumiikiriza okw’essuubi mu Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo mu maaso ga Katonda era Kitaffe,
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
era nga tumanyi, nga mmwe abooluganda muli mikwano gya Katonda, baayagala ennyo, be yalonda.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word (logos) only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and in much assurance; as all of you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
Kubanga Enjiri yaffe teyajja gye muli mu kigambo kyokka, wabula ne mu maanyi, ne mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu, ne mu bukakafu obungi, era nga bwe mumanyi nga twabeeranga wakati mu mmwe ku lwammwe.
6 And all of you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word (logos) in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
Nammwe mwagoberera Mukama waffe era ne mukola nga bwe twakolanga bwe mwakkiriza ekigambo wakati mu kubonaabona okungi nga mulina essanyu eriva mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu,
7 So that all of you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
ne mubeera ekyokulabirako eri abakkiriza bonna ab’omu Makedoniya ne Akaya.
8 For from you sounded out the word (logos) of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
Kubanga ekigambo kya Mukama kibunye okuva mu mmwe, si mu Makedoniya ne mu Akaya mwokka, naye ne mu buli kifo n’okukkiriza kwammwe eri Katonda kwabuna ne tutabaako kye tukwogerera.
9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how all of you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
Kubanga bo bennyini batubuulira engeri gye mwatwanirizaamu, ne bwe mwakyuka okuleka bakatonda abalala ne mudda eri Katonda omulamu era ow’amazima,
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
era ne bwe mulindiridde Omwana wa Katonda, okukomawo okuva mu ggulu, gwe yazuukiza okuva mu bafu, ye Yesu oyo yekka atulokola okutuwonya mu busungu bwa Katonda obugenda okujja.
