1 Utasalonika 1

1 Bulus, Silvanus nin Timothy, uchin du kuti kulau nTassulinika nanya Kutelle Uchif nin Chikilari Yesu Kristi. Nshew nin mang udu kitimine.

Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

2 Tidin nizu Kutelle ugodo bara anun ka kishi, nyan lira bit asa ti belle ubellen mine.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,

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.

remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

4 Linwana na Kutelle dinin suuwe, tiyiru nin yichilu mine.

knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

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.

For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:

6 Ina so bara arik nin Chikilari nafo na iwa seru ligulan nin nya neu nya liburi libo nfunu ulau.

and ye became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,

7 bara Yesu imon guru vat nyan Makaduniya nin Akaia udu alenge na idi nin kidegen.

so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:

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 the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;

9 Bara inun na mun bellu imusin nati wa se kitimine, a nafo na anun atelle a bebene udu Kutelle lai nin kun kiden.

for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true 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 to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
