1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sel Paul, Silas, ac Timothy — Nu sin mwet lun church in Thessalonica, su ma lun God Papa ac Leum Jesus Christ: Lungkulang ac misla in oan yuruwos.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
Kut sang kulo nu sin God keiwos nukewa, ac esam kowos in pre lasr pacl nukewa.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
Kut esam na ye mutun God ac Papa tumasr ouiyen orekmakinyen lulalfongi lowos, ac lungse lowos su pwanang kowos moniyuk in orekma, ac finsrak ku lowos ke Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
Mwet wiasr in Leum, kut etu lah God El lungse kowos ac sulekowosla tuh kowos in mwet lal.
5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
Tuh kut fahkak Pweng Wo nu suwos, tia ke kas mukena, a ke ku ac ke Ngun Mutal, ac oayapa ke etu na pwaye lasr lah ma inge kas pwaye. Aok, kowos etu ouiyen moul lasr ke kut tuh muta yuruwos, lah ma kut oru ma in akwoye kowos.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Kowos etawi kut ac oayapa Leum; ac finne yohk keok lowos, kowos tuh eis pweng ke Jesus wi engan su tuku sin Ngun Mutal.
7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Ouinge kowos ekla mwe srikasrak nu sin mwet lulalfongi nukewa in acn Macedonia ac Achaia.
8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.
Ke sripowos, kas ke Leum inge sulkakinyukelik, tia nu in acn Macedonia ac Achaia mukena, a pweng ke lulalfongi lowos ke God fahsrelik nu yen nukewa. Ouinge wanginna ma kut enenu in fahk.
9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
Mwet nukewa srumun ouiyen painguk wowo lowos nu sesr ke kut tuh fahsrot nu yuruwos, oayapa ke kowos forla liki alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac inge kowos kulansapu God pwaye ac moul,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
ac kowos soano tuku lun Wen natul inkusrao me — aok Jesus, su God El akmoulyauk liki misa, ac su molikutla liki kasrkusrak lun God ke len in nununku ac tuku.
