1 Utasalonika 3
1 Bara na imone wa kata akara bite tikpilya i haun ichinari Athens.
Therefore, when we could bear it no longer, we thought it best to stay in 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, who is a servant of God and our fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you in your faith,
3 Yenjen umong mine wa fya kibinai nyan neou anin atimine yiru bara nenere inna fere-eh nari.
so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we have been appointed to afflictions such as these.
4 Kden kube na tiwa nan ghinu, tiwa belin minu nyan bun tiba nieu, uni na lawa kidene nafo naiyiru.
In fact, when we were with you, we told you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction, and as you well know, it has now happened.
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 bear it no longer, I sent Timothy to find out about your faith, lest somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor had been 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 Timothy has now come back to us from you and has brought us good news of your faith and love. He reports that you always think of us with affection, longing to see us, just as we also long to see you.
7 Bara nene linwana tiwa se akara nibinai nya kidegem mine kidira nin nieu.
Therefore, brothers, in all our affliction and distress, we were encouraged about you because of your faith.
8 Nene ridi mang, asa iyisina nin nin na nagang nya Chilari.
For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.
9 Uyapin ugodoari tiba ni Kutelle bara anun, bara mmang mo-oh nati dimu nbun Kutelleh kittene mine.
How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?
10 Kittik nin lirin ti din nliranina kara bara tiyene itmuro mine tinin ni ile imon na idinin lidarinya kidegen mine.
Night and day we pray earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Na Kutelleh nin Chif bite litime aChilari bite Yesu duro nari udina udak kitimine.
Now may our God and Father himself and our 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.
May the Lord cause you to increase and abound in your love for one another and for all, just as we abound in our love for 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.
And may he strengthen your hearts to be blameless in holiness in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus Christ comes with all his saints.
