1 Bathesalonike 1
1 Paulo, Silwano na Timoteo mwikanisa Lya abatesalonike mu Nyamuanga Lata na Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo. Echigongo no mulengelesi bhibhibhi amwi nemwe.
Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Echisosha isime ku Nyamuanga bhuli mwanya ingulu yemwe bhona, mu mwanya gunu echibhaika mu okusabhwa kweswe.
Grace and peace to you. We give thanks to God always for all of you, keeping the memory of you in our prayers without ceasing,
3 Echichuka bhila kuta imbele ya Nyamuanga na Lata weswe emilimu jemwe ejelikilisha, mu bhwafu bhwo kwenda, no bhwigumilisha obhwo bhubhasi kulwa ingulu yo mwanya gundi mu Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
remembering your work of faith, and hardship, and charity, and enduring hope, in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father.
4 Bhaili bhanu omwendwa na Nyamuanga, chimenyele okubhilikilwa kwemwe.
For we know, brothers, beloved of God, of your election.
5 Na lwa kutyo emisango jo bhwana jachijie kwiswe kwimwe atali kulwo musango-ela nawe one mu managa, mu Mwoyo Mwelu, na mu chimali. Mu namuna eyo, mumenyele eswe one ati chaliga bhanu bha inamuna ki agati-gati yemwe ingulu yemwe.
For our Gospel has not been among you in word alone, but also in virtue, and in the Holy Spirit, and with a great fullness, in the same manner as you know we have acted among you for your sake.
6 Mwaliga muli bhanu bho kuchilolelako eswe na Latabhugenyi, lwa kutyo mwagulamie omusango mu nyako mu kukondelelwa kunu okusoka mu Mwoyo Mwelu.
And so, you became imitators of us and of the Lord, accepting the Word in the midst of great tribulation, but with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
7 Na mukubhonekana kwaye, nimubha chijejekanyo ku bhona mu Makedonia na Akaya mu bhanu abhekilisha.
So have you become a pattern for all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8 Kulwo kubha okusoka kwemwe omusango gwa Nyamuanga gwaswilile oneone, nolwo atali mu Makedonia na Akaya yenyele. Okwiya kwae, bhuli ebhala elikilisha lyemwe mu Nyamuanga lyaswilile one no kubhonekana kwae, chitakenele kwaika chona chona.
For from you, the Word of the Lord was spread, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith, which is toward God, has advanced so much so that we do not need to speak to you about anything.
9 Kulwo kubha abhene bhenene abhamenyesha okuja kweswe kwaliga kwa mbikaki agati yemwe. Abhelesha lwakutyo mwamuindukie Nyamuanga okusoka mubhisusano no kumukolela Nyamuanga unu ali muanga no we chimali.
For others are reporting among us of the kind of acceptance we had among you, and how you were converted from idols to God, to the service of the living and true God,
10 Bhasosishe emisango ati mulindilie omwana wae okusoka Mulwile, unu asuluywe okusoka mubhafue. Mbe unu ni Yesu, unu kachisulumula okusoka mwisungu linu elija.
and to the expectation of his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who has rescued us from the approaching wrath.
