1Sura toi ngkai kai' tau tolu: Paulus, Silas pai' Timotius, kipakatu tilou hi koi' ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -kai to hi Tesalonika, to mepue' -mi hi Alata'ala to Tuama pai' hi Pue' Yesus Kristus! Wori' tabe: mekakae-kai hi Alata'ala bona nagane' -koi ngkai kabula rala-na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.
1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
2Uma-kai putu mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala sabana koi' ompi', pai' kiporalasampaya oa' -koi.
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;
3Ane mosampaya-kai hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta, kikiwoi oa' pobago-ni to nipobago sabana pepangala' -ni, pai' kikiwoi wo'o petulungi-ni hi doo sabana ahi' -ni, pai' kikiwoi kantaha-ni hi rala pebalinaia' apa' ncarumaka-koi hi karata-na nculii' Yesus Kristus Pue' -ta.
3remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
4Ki'inca moto ompi', Alata'ala mpoka'ahi' -koi pai' napelihi-mokoi jadi' bagia-na.
4knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,
5Ki'inca toe apa' uma kiparata kareba mara hi koi' ompi'. Kareba Lompe' to kiparata-kokoi toe, kiparata hante baraka' ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli'. Pai' kiparasaya mpu'u kamakono-na Kareba Lompe' toe. Ni'inca moto kehi-kai pai' petulungi-kai hi koi' bula-kai hi retu-pidi wengi dohe-ni. Kehi-kai toe-le mpakanoto-kokoi kamakono-na Kareba to kikeni.
5how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.
6Pai' koi' ompi', kani'epe-na Kareba Lompe' toe, nituku' -mi kehi-kai, pai' kehi-na Pue' Yesus wo'o. Apa' nau' rabalinai' gaga-koi, goe' oa' nono-ni mpotarima Kareba Lompe' toe. Inoha' Tomoroli' -hana to mpowai' -koi kagoea' tetu-e ompi'.
6And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;
7Jadi', kehi-ni tetu rapotonco hawe'ea ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta to hi tana' Makedonia pai' Akhaya.
7so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
9Apa' ntepu'u ngkai koi', Lolita Pue' rapalele hobo' hi Makedonia pai' Akhaya. Meliu ngkai toe, pepangala' -ni hi Alata'ala rapotompo'wiwi hiapa-apa. Hiapa pomakoa' -kai, ra'inca ami' -mi pue' ngata tutura-na, beiwa kanipangala' -na Kareba Lompe' to kikeni-kokoi. Uma mingki' ki'uli' ba apa-apa, apa' rapotompo'wiwi ami' -mi kanibahakai-nami mpopue' pinotau, pai' megoli-mokoi mepue' hi Alata'ala to makono pai' to tuwu' liu-liu.
8For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.
10Rapotompo'wiwi wo'o kampopea-ni karata-na nculii' Yesus Ana' Alata'ala ngkai suruga. Alata'ala mpotuwu' -i nculii', pai' Hi'a-mi to mpobahaka-ta ngkai roe Alata'ala to mporumpa' ihi' dunia' toi mpai'.
9For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
