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.

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

We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you 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.

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.

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

We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

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.

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.

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

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of 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 who believe in Macedonia and in 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 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.

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 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,

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.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
