1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

Pawuli, Siluvanisi aTimoti, kumbungano yakuTesalonika muliLeza Taata aMwami Jesu Kkilisito. Lino luzyalo alumuno alube kulindinywe kuzwa kuliLeza Taata aMwami Jesu Kkilisito

2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

Lyoonse tupa kulumba kuliLeza kamulimoonse mbuli mbutumwaamba kwalyonse munkombyo zyesu.

3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labour of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, before our God and Father.

Tulayeya kuti leza wesu aTaata kumulimu yalusyomo milimo yaluyando, ayabulindilizi mukulangilila muMwami Jesu Kkilisito.

4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

Bakwesu nimuyandwa aLeza, tulizi wakamusala,

5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be amongst you for your sake.

nkaambo majwi mabotu akasika kulindinywe pe pe mumajwi luzutu, pesi aalubo manguzu mumuuya usalala, mpawo amubwingi bwazisyomezyo. Aalubo, mulizi kuti twakali bantu balibyeni aakati kanu nkambo kanu.

6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

Mwakaba basikwiya kulindiswe akumwami, nimwaka tambula majwi mumakataazyo alukondo kuzwa kumuya usalala.

7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Mbuli mpindu, mwakaba chitondezyo kuli boonse baliku Masedoniya aKkayiya basyoma.

8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith towards God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.

Kuzwa kulindinywe jwi layMwami lyayitwa, mpo tee kuMasedoniya luzutu pe, akuKkayiya, pesi lusyomo kuliLeza lwakazulila koonse-koonse. Nkaambokako tatuyelede kwamba chintu kufumbwa.

9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

Kuli mbabo lwabo kulangisisya ndiswe, kuti tulabulidilano nzi aakati kanu ambubakasanduka kuli Leza kuzwa kumuzimu kubelekela Leza wabwiini upona.

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Yeshua, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Akulindila mwanakwe kuzwa kujulu, oyo wakabuka kuzwa kubafu - Jesu, unununa kuzwa kubukali buzakuza.
