1 Bulus, Silvanus nin Timothy, uchin du kuti kulau nTassulinika nanya Kutelle Uchif nin Chikilari Yesu Kristi. Nshew nin mang udu kitimine.
To the Thessalonian Church in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, from Paul, Silas, and Timothy. May God bless you and give you peace.
2 Tidin nizu Kutelle ugodo bara anun ka kishi, nyan lira bit asa ti belle ubellen mine.
We always mention you in our prayers and thank God for you all;
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.
recalling continually before our God and Father the efforts that have resulted from your faith, the toil prompted by your love, and the patient endurance sustained by your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Linwana na Kutelle dinin suuwe, tiyiru nin yichilu mine.
Brothers, whom God loves, we know that he has chosen you,
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.
because the Good News that we brought came home to you, not merely as so many words, but with a power and a fulness of conviction due to the Holy Spirit. For you know the life that we lived among you for your good.
6 Ina so bara arik nin Chikilari nafo na iwa seru ligulan nin nya neu nya liburi libo nfunu ulau.
And you yourselves began to follow, not only our example, but the Master’s also; and, in spite of much suffering, you welcomed the Message with a joy inspired by the Holy Spirit,
7 bara Yesu imon guru vat nyan Makaduniya nin Akaia udu alenge na idi nin kidegen.
and so became a pattern to all who believed in Christ throughout Macedonia and Greece.
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 it was from you that the Lord’s Message resounded throughout Macedonia and Greece; and, more than that, your faith in God has become known far and wide; so that there is no need for us to say another word.
9 Bara inun na mun bellu imusin nati wa se kitimine, a nafo na anun atelle a bebene udu Kutelle lai nin kun kiden.
Indeed, in speaking about us, the people themselves tell of the reception you gave us, and how, turning to God from your idols, you became servants of the true and living 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 are now awaiting the return from Heaven of his Son whom he raised from the dead — Jesus, our deliverer from the Coming Wrath.
