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 Timotheus to the assembly of 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 at 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 unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of 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 by 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.
5For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:
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 our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation 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 models 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 the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say 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 relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
10and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
