1 Utasalonika 1

1 Bulus, Silvanus nin Timothy, uchin du kuti kulau nTassulinika nanya Kutelle Uchif nin Chikilari Yesu Kristi. Nshew nin mang udu kitimine.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

2 Tidin nizu Kutelle ugodo bara anun ka kishi, nyan lira bit asa ti belle ubellen mine.

We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;

3 Tidin lizunu sa ligagng katah kidegen mine uniu nsuu nin ti reu kibinei bara ubun nya Chikilari Yesu Kristi unbun Kutelle nin Chif bit.

Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

4 Linwana na Kutelle dinin suuwe, tiyiru nin yichilu mine.

Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;

5 na abing amang wa da minu na tigbulang chas ba nya na kara, Ufunu ulau nin yinnu udiya vat nin yiru arik imusu na yapi anitarinya mine bara anun.

Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

6 Ina so bara arik nin Chikilari nafo na iwa seru ligulan nin nya neu nya liburi libo nfunu ulau.

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

7 bara Yesu imon guru vat nyan Makaduniya nin Akaia udu alenge na idi nin kidegen.

So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 Na kitimere ligulang Chikilari na nuzu ku chas ba, na Makaduniya nin Akaia ma ba - udo kiti vat na kidegen mine nya Kutelle na do-o, bara nani tiba bellu imon ba.

For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

9 Bara inun na mun bellu imusin nati wa se kitimine, a nafo na anun atelle a bebene udu Kutelle lai nin kun kiden.

For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

10 A u chaah Ngono me na ana nuzu kitene kane ulenge na awa fya gne nya na nan kul, Yesu, ulengena adin tuchu nari tinana nayin chinu.

Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.
