1 Utasalonika 2
1 Anun atimine yiru linuana na tiwa diranimon suari, tidaa kitimine ba.
FOR yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 Arike wa neou ti so non nchin in Philippi, nafo na iyiru arik wa yinin nin Kutelle bit tibelin minu kadura kamang Kutelle nyan salin mmang.
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 Bara akara bite na uta nuari ba, na ndino gnari ba na kinu ari ba.
For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 Arik nao na Kutelle yinna nin gnirik nin kadura ka mang na nenere ti din belu, na bara anit ba, bara Kutelle, naadin yenju nibinai yenju ni binai bite.
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5 Bara na tina belu agbulang kinu ba, nafo naiyiru, na bara ti bolu imon na amon ba, Ci Kutelle ari unan ba.
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Na tiwa piziru uzazunu kiti nanit ba sa kitimine, sa kiti na mong kubu kona tiwa yichu atibite anan kataah Kristi.
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 Nnane tiwa toltin atibite nafo na una asa anodizino nibinain nono me.
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8 Nani tiwa dursuzominu usuu, nin liburi liboo tiniminu kadura ka manggne umunu tilau bite, bara na ina so imon ichne kitibite.
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9 Bara na ina lizinn linwana kataah nin neiu bite. Tiwa su kataah kitik ninliyarin bara tiwa so kutura udu umon min, nafo na tiwa sun minu uwa azi mang kadura Kutelle.
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Anung anan ba, a Kutelle wan, nafo nyan lau nin salindinno tiwa su kataah udu kitimine na yinin.
Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 Nafo na iyiru uchif nin nono me, tiwa niminu akara tinin kuru tibelle.
As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12 Iba chinu liau Kutelle, na adin yichu minu udu kilari nin zazinu me.
That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 Bara nene tidin godu Kutelle kokishi, kubi kooh na iwa seru kitibite ligbulang kadura, ligbulang Kutelle, na iwa serunafo ligbulang nntari ba, kidene, ligbulang Kutelle, na lidi kataah nya mine na iyinna.
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14 Bara anung linwana ina so nafo anan na tii alau Kutelle na adi Yahudiya nyan Kristi Yesu bara anun ina neou na nit mine nafo na inun wa neou na charannono Israila.
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judæa are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Alengena iwa molu chilari yesu ku nin nanan kadura me-eh, inin ko-oh nari, tutung alengena ipooh Kutelle liburi ba. Idinin liburi lisirneudu na nit vat.
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Ina wantin nari tibelin anan nyan nsirti bara inan se utuchu Yesu nyan tazunu mine. Tinna nayi Kutelle ntolo nari udu ligang.
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 Arik, linwana w kosu nri nya kubiri ku bene, nyan yenju nya nibinai tiwa tezunu tiyene timuro mine.
But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Bara iwa dinin suu ti dak kitimine, meng Shawulu ndin ntenzunu, shaitan amini wantin nari.
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 Bara iyangari likara mine nbun saliburi lio-oh. Sa likarin zazunu imong irumere nafo na among-ubung. Nchikilari Yesu asa ba se-eh
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 Anun ghereh uzazunu nin mang bit.
For ye are our glory and joy.
