Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the Assembly of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be 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.

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

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

Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

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 also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were 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.

And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received 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 were ensamples to 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 out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak 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 themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to 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 heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
