1 Utasalonika 3
1 Bara na imone wa kata akara bite tikpilya i haun ichinari Athens.
Therefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left 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 sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort 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 by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
4 Kden kube na tiwa nan ghinu, tiwa belin minu nyan bun tiba nieu, uni na lawa kidene nafo naiyiru.
For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye 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, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labour be in 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 from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
7 Bara nene linwana tiwa se akara nibinai nya kidegem mine kidira nin nieu.
Therefore, brethren, by your faith we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress:
8 Nene ridi mang, asa iyisina nin nin na nagang nya Chilari.
For now we live, if ye stand fast 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 render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes 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 praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in 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 to you.
12 Na chilari kpin ngardang suu minu udu linwana a nit vat, nafo na ari din su udu kitimine.
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward 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 the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
