1 Bulus, Silvanus nin Timothy, uchin du kuti kulau nTassulinika nanya Kutelle Uchif nin Chikilari Yesu Kristi. Nshew nin mang udu kitimine.

PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ: grace unto 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 give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of 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.

without ceasing calling to mind your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

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

knowing, brethren, beloved of God, your election.

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.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in great fulness of assurance; as ye know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.

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

And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost;

7 bara Yesu imon guru vat nyan Makaduniya nin Akaia udu alenge na idi nin kidegen.

so that ye became models for all that believe in Macedonia and 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 sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only into Macedonia and Achaia, but into every region also your fidelity towards God is gone out, so that we have no need to say any thing.

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 publish concerning you what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve the 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 the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
