1 Utasalonika 3

1 Bara na imone wa kata akara bite tikpilya i haun ichinari Athens.

Wherefore, being no longer able to contain ourselves, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

2 Tina tuu Thimoti ku gbana bite unan kataah Kutelle nya kadura kamang in Yesu ada timinu akara nya kidegen mine.

and we sent Timothy our brother and minister of God in the gospel of the Christ, in order that he might strengthen and comfort you with respect to your faith,

3 Yenjen umong mine wa fya kibinai nyan neou anin atimine yiru bara nenere inna fere-eh nari.

that no one be moved by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this:

4 Kden kube na tiwa nan ghinu, tiwa belin minu nyan bun tiba nieu, uni na lawa kidene nafo naiyiru.

for even when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we were about to be afflicted, as it also came to pass, and as you know.

5 Bara nene na imone kata nin mmini to-oh nyinin kidegen mine yenje sa unan duzune na duzun minu kataah bite nahna.

For this reason, when I could no longer contain myself, I sent to know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.

6 Na Thimoty wa dak kitibite unuzu kitimine nin kadura ka mang, kan kidegen nin suu nin uworu na ishawa nin nari ba tuung, idinin suu iyene nari nafo na arik dinin suu tiyene minu.

But now, since Timothy has come to us from you, and has told us the good news of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us at all times, greatly desiring to see us, as indeed we desire to see you,

7 Bara nene linwana tiwa se akara nibinai nya kidegem mine kidira nin nieu.

for this reason we are comforted concerning you, brethren, in all our distress and affliction, by your faith:

8 Nene ridi mang, asa iyisina nin nin na nagang nya Chilari.

for now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

9 Uyapin ugodoari tiba ni Kutelle bara anun, bara mmang mo-oh nati dimu nbun Kutelleh kittene mine.

For what thanks can we render to God for you, for the great joy with which we rejoice on your account before our God,

10 Kittik nin lirin ti din nliranina kara bara tiyene itmuro mine tinin ni ile imon na idinin lidarinya kidegen mine.

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

11 Na Kutelleh nin Chif bite litime aChilari bite Yesu duro nari udina udak kitimine.

Now, may God himself, even our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

12 Na chilari kpin ngardang suu minu udu linwana a nit vat, nafo na ari din su udu kitimine.

And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love to one another and to all, even as we toward you,

13 Asuu nene bara kpin minu akara nibinai nyang salin dinonnin lau nbun Kutelleh nin Chif, asa Chikilari bite Yesu ba dak nin na lau me vat.

in order that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness, in the presence of our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
