1 Utasalonika 2
1 Anun atimine yiru linuana na tiwa diranimon suari, tidaa kitimine ba.
For yourselves have known, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it did not become 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.
but having both suffered before, and having been injuriously treated (as ye have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the good news of God in much conflict,
3 Bara akara bite na uta nuari ba, na ndino gnari ba na kinu ari ba.
for our exhortation [is] not out of deceit, nor out of uncleanness, nor in guile,
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.
but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving 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.
for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye have known, ) nor in a pretext for covetousness, (God [is] witness!)
6 Na tiwa piziru uzazunu kiti nanit ba sa kitimine, sa kiti na mong kubu kona tiwa yichu atibite anan kataah Kristi.
nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.
7 Nnane tiwa toltin atibite nafo na una asa anodizino nibinain nono me.
But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,
8 Nani tiwa dursuzominu usuu, nin liburi liboo tiniminu kadura ka manggne umunu tilau bite, bara na ina so imon ichne kitibite.
so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved ye 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.
for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;
10 Anung anan ba, a Kutelle wan, nafo nyan lau nin salindinno tiwa su kataah udu kitimine na yinin.
ye [are] witnesses — God also — how kindly and righteously, and blamelessly to you who believe we became,
11 Nafo na iyiru uchif nin nono me, tiwa niminu akara tinin kuru tibelle.
even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying,
12 Iba chinu liau Kutelle, na adin yichu minu udu kilari nin zazinu me.
for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own reign 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.
Because of this also, we — we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth 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 ye became imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because such things ye suffered, even ye, from your own countrymen, as also they 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 did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men [are] contrary,
16 Ina wantin nari tibelin anan nyan nsirti bara inan se utuchu Yesu nyan tazunu mine. Tinna nayi Kutelle ntolo nari udu ligang.
forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them — to the end!
17 Arik, linwana w kosu nri nya kubiri ku bene, nyan yenju nya nibinai tiwa tezunu tiyene timuro mine.
And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space of an hour — in presence, not in heart — did hasten the more abundantly to see your face in much desire,
18 Bara iwa dinin suu ti dak kitimine, meng Shawulu ndin ntenzunu, shaitan amini wantin nari.
wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul, ) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder 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
for what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?
20 Anun ghereh uzazunu nin mang bit.
for ye are our glory and joy.
