1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy—unto the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, —favour unto you, and peace!

Nye, Paulo, Silvano kple Timoteo gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na Kristohame si le Tesalonika, mi ame siwo nye Mawu Fofo la kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo tɔ. Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu mía Fofo kple míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gbɔ la woana mi.

2 We are giving thanks unto God continually, concerning you all, making, mention, in our prayers,

Míedaa akpe na Mawu ɣe sia ɣi ɖe mia ta eye míedoa gbe ɖa ɖe mia ta madzudzɔmadzudzɔe.

3 Unceasingly, remembering—your work of faith and labour of love and endurance of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

Le míaƒe gbedodoɖawo me na Mawu, mía Fofo la ɖe mia ta la, míeŋlɔa miaƒe lɔlɔ̃dɔwo, miaƒe xɔse triakɔ kple mɔkpɔkpɔ na míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe tɔtrɔgbɔ la be o.

4 Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election, —

Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo kple Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃tɔ veviwo, míenya be Mawu ŋutɔe tia mi,

5 How that, our glad-message, came not unto you, in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, —even as ye know what manner of men we became unto you, for your sake;

elabena esi míetsɔ nyanyui la vɛ na mi la, miexɔe abe nya dzodzro aɖe ko ene o; ke boŋ le ŋusẽ kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe kpakple kakaɖedzikpɔkpɔ geɖe me hã abe ale si mienya ame si ƒomeviwo míenye le mia dome le mia ta la ene.

6 And, ye, became, imitators of us, and of the Lord, giving welcome unto the word, in much tribulation, with joy of Holy Spirit;

Ale mieva zu míawo kple Aƒetɔ la yomedzelawo, elabena miexɔ míaƒe nya la kple dzidzɔ si tso Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gbɔ togbɔ be ehe tetekpɔ kple nuxaxa geɖewo va mia dzii hã.

7 So that ye became an ensample unto all who were coming to the faith, in Macedonia and in Achaia:

Emegbe la, miawo ŋutɔwo mieva zu kpɔɖeŋu na xɔsetɔ siwo katã le Makedonia kple Akaya.

8 From you, in fact, hath sounded forth the word of the Lord—not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but, in every place, your faith which is toward God, hath gone forth, so that, no need, have we to be saying anything;

Azɔ la, miekaka Aƒetɔ la ƒe nya la na amewo le afi sia afi, tso Akaya yi keke Makedonia ƒe liƒowo godo ke hã, elabena afi sia afi si míeyi la, amewo ɖia ɖase tso miaƒe xɔse deto si le mia si le Mawu me la ŋuti. Esia ta megahiã be míawo míagagblɔ nya aɖeke na wo o,

9 For, they themselves, concerning us, do tell—what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from the idols—to be serving a living and true God,

elabena woawo boŋ gblɔa ale si miexɔ mí kple dzidzɔ manyagblɔ kple ale si mietrɔ tso trɔ̃subɔsubɔ gbɔ va Mawu gbɔ, eye Mawu gbagbe nyateƒetɔ la koe zu miaƒe Aƒetɔ la na mí.

10 And awaiting his Son out of the heavens—whom he raised from among the dead, —Jesus: Who is to rescue us out of the anger that is coming.

Eye wogblɔ hã na mí be miele mɔ kpɔm na Mawu ƒe Vi, Yesu ƒe tɔtrɔ va tso dziƒo; ame si Mawu fɔ tso ku me, eye wònye Ɖela si ko ate ŋu aɖe mí tso Mawu ƒe dziku helĩhelĩ ɖe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti la me.
