1 Utasalonika 2
1 Anun atimine yiru linuana na tiwa diranimon suari, tidaa kitimine ba.
You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.
2 Arike wa neou ti so non nchin in Philippi, nafo na iyiru arik wa yinin nin Kutelle bit tibelin minu kadura kamang Kutelle nyan salin mmang.
As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God.
3 Bara akara bite na uta nuari ba, na ndino gnari ba na kinu ari ba.
For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.
4 Arik nao na Kutelle yinna nin gnirik nin kadura ka mang na nenere ti din belu, na bara anit ba, bara Kutelle, naadin yenju nibinai yenju ni binai bite.
Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.
5 Bara na tina belu agbulang kinu ba, nafo naiyiru, na bara ti bolu imon na amon ba, Ci Kutelle ari unan ba.
As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!
6 Na tiwa piziru uzazunu kiti nanit ba sa kitimine, sa kiti na mong kubu kona tiwa yichu atibite anan kataah Kristi.
Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
7 Nnane tiwa toltin atibite nafo na una asa anodizino nibinain nono me.
On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
8 Nani tiwa dursuzominu usuu, nin liburi liboo tiniminu kadura ka manggne umunu tilau bite, bara na ina so imon ichne kitibite.
We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
9 Bara na ina lizinn linwana kataah nin neiu bite. Tiwa su kataah kitik ninliyarin bara tiwa so kutura udu umon min, nafo na tiwa sun minu uwa azi mang kadura Kutelle.
Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
10 Anung anan ba, a Kutelle wan, nafo nyan lau nin salindinno tiwa su kataah udu kitimine na yinin.
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
11 Nafo na iyiru uchif nin nono me, tiwa niminu akara tinin kuru tibelle.
For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—
12 Iba chinu liau Kutelle, na adin yichu minu udu kilari nin zazinu me.
encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
13 Bara nene tidin godu Kutelle kokishi, kubi kooh na iwa seru kitibite ligbulang kadura, ligbulang Kutelle, na iwa serunafo ligbulang nntari ba, kidene, ligbulang Kutelle, na lidi kataah nya mine na iyinna.
And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God—the word which is now at work in you who believe.
14 Bara anung linwana ina so nafo anan na tii alau Kutelle na adi Yahudiya nyan Kristi Yesu bara anun ina neou na nit mine nafo na inun wa neou na charannono Israila.
For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,
15 Alengena iwa molu chilari yesu ku nin nanan kadura me-eh, inin ko-oh nari, tutung alengena ipooh Kutelle liburi ba. Idinin liburi lisirneudu na nit vat.
who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,
16 Ina wantin nari tibelin anan nyan nsirti bara inan se utuchu Yesu nyan tazunu mine. Tinna nayi Kutelle ntolo nari udu ligang.
hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.
17 Arik, linwana w kosu nri nya kubiri ku bene, nyan yenju nya nibinai tiwa tezunu tiyene timuro mine.
Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
18 Bara iwa dinin suu ti dak kitimine, meng Shawulu ndin ntenzunu, shaitan amini wantin nari.
For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.
19 Bara iyangari likara mine nbun saliburi lio-oh. Sa likarin zazunu imong irumere nafo na among-ubung. Nchikilari Yesu asa ba se-eh
After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
20 Anun ghereh uzazunu nin mang bit.
You are indeed our glory and our joy.
