1 Utasalonika 3

1 Bara na imone wa kata akara bite tikpilya i haun ichinari Athens.

For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone:

2 Tina tuu Thimoti ku gbana bite unan kataah Kutelle nya kadura kamang in Yesu ada timinu akara nya kidegen mine.

And we sent Timothy, our brother, and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:

3 Yenjen umong mine wa fya kibinai nyan neou anin atimine yiru bara nenere inna fere-eh nari.

That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto.

4 Kden kube na tiwa nan ghinu, tiwa belin minu nyan bun tiba nieu, uni na lawa kidene nafo naiyiru.

For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations, as also it is come to pass, and you know.

5 Bara nene na imone kata nin mmini to-oh nyinin kidegen mine yenje sa unan duzune na duzun minu kataah bite nahna.

For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you, and our labour should be made vain.

6 Na Thimoty wa dak kitibite unuzu kitimine nin kadura ka mang, kan kidegen nin suu nin uworu na ishawa nin nari ba tuung, idinin suu iyene nari nafo na arik dinin suu tiyene minu.

But now when Timothy came to us from you, and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you;

7 Bara nene linwana tiwa se akara nibinai nya kidegem mine kidira nin nieu.

Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith,

8 Nene ridi mang, asa iyisina nin nin na nagang nya Chilari.

Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.

9 Uyapin ugodoari tiba ni Kutelle bara anun, bara mmang mo-oh nati dimu nbun Kutelleh kittene mine.

For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,

10 Kittik nin lirin ti din nliranina kara bara tiyene itmuro mine tinin ni ile imon na idinin lidarinya kidegen mine.

Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face, and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?

11 Na Kutelleh nin Chif bite litime aChilari bite Yesu duro nari udina udak kitimine.

Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

12 Na chilari kpin ngardang suu minu udu linwana a nit vat, nafo na ari din su udu kitimine.

And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in charity towards one another, and towards all men: as we do also towards you,

13 Asuu nene bara kpin minu akara nibinai nyang salin dinonnin lau nbun Kutelleh nin Chif, asa Chikilari bite Yesu ba dak nin na lau me vat.

To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.
