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.

Pauro naSivhano naTimotio, kukereke yeVaTesaronika muna Mwari Baba, naIshe Jesu Kristu: Nyasha kwamuri nerugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu, naIshe Jesu Kristu.

2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Tinovonga Mwari nguva dzese pamusoro penyu mese, tichikutaurai muminyengetero yedu,

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;

tichiramba tichirangarira basa renyu rerutendo nebasa rinorema rerudo nekutsungirira kwetariro muna Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu pamberi paMwari naBaba vedu;

4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

tichiziva hama dzinodikanwa, kusanangurwa kwenyu naMwari;

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.

nokuti evhangeri yedu haina kuuya kwamuri mushoko chete, asiwo musimba, nemuMweya Mutsvene, nemukuvimbisa kukuru, sezvamunoziva kuti takange tiri vanhu vakadini pakati penyu nekuda kwenyu.

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)

Nemwi makava vateveri vedu nevaIshe, magamuchira shoko mukutambudzika kukuru, nemufaro weMweya Mutsvene,

7 So that all of you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

zvekuti makava mienzaniso kune vese vanotenda muMakedhonia neAkaya.

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.

Nokuti kwamuri kwakanzwikwa shoko raIshe, kwete muMakedhonia neAkaya chete, asiwo kunzvimbo imwe neimwe rutendo rwenyu kuna Mwari rwakabudira kunze, zvekuti hatifaniri kutaura chinhu.

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;

Nokuti ivo vamene vanoparidza pamusoro pedu kuti takapinda nemutoo upi kwamuri; uye kuti makatendeukira sei kuna Mwari muchibva pazvifananidzo, kuti mushumire Mwari mupenyu uye wechokwadi,

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.

uye makamirira Mwanakomana wake achibva kumatenga, waakamutsa kuvakafa, ndiye Jesu anotinunura pahasha dzinouya.
