1 Thessalonians 2
1 Brothers and sisters, you yourselves know what our visit meant to you, and that it wasn't wasted!
Anun atimine yiru linuana na tiwa diranimon suari, tidaa kitimine ba.
2 You'll recall that after having had much trouble and bad treatment at Philippi, with the help of God we still dared to share God's good news with you, despite the opposition we faced.
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.
3 For what we speak about isn't deceptive, or worthless, or fraudulent.
Bara akara bite na uta nuari ba, na ndino gnari ba na kinu ari ba.
4 On the contrary, we have God's approval for what we say—he's entrusted us with sharing the good news. We don't set out to please people, but God. He's the one who judges our motives.
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.
5 As you know, we've never used flattering words. Nor were we covering up some greedy, selfish attitude—as God is our witness!
Bara na tina belu agbulang kinu ba, nafo naiyiru, na bara ti bolu imon na amon ba, Ci Kutelle ari unan ba.
6 We weren't trying to win anybody's praise—not from you, nor anyone else. We could have become a “burden” to you as messengers of Christ,
Na tiwa piziru uzazunu kiti nanit ba sa kitimine, sa kiti na mong kubu kona tiwa yichu atibite anan kataah Kristi.
7 but instead we acted kindly among you, like a mother caring for her own children.
Nnane tiwa toltin atibite nafo na una asa anodizino nibinain nono me.
8 We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not just God's good news, but also our very own selves, because you had become so dear to us.
Nani tiwa dursuzominu usuu, nin liburi liboo tiniminu kadura ka manggne umunu tilau bite, bara na ina so imon ichne kitibite.
9 Don't you remember, brothers and sisters, all our hard work— working day and night so we wouldn't be a burden to any of you as we shared God's good news with you?
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.
10 You yourselves can testify as to how we acted, and God can too—how we treated you believers with a holy attitude, fairly and blamelessly.
Anung anan ba, a Kutelle wan, nafo nyan lau nin salindinno tiwa su kataah udu kitimine na yinin.
11 You know how we cared for every one of you like a father caring for his own children. We encouraged you, comforted you, and shared with you our experience
Nafo na iyiru uchif nin nono me, tiwa niminu akara tinin kuru tibelle.
12 so that you could live as God would want you to live—the God who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
Iba chinu liau Kutelle, na adin yichu minu udu kilari nin zazinu me.
13 Another thing: we're always thanking God that when you heard and accepted the word of God, you didn't treat it as some human words, but what it truly is, the word of God. This is what is at work in those of you who trust in him.
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.
14 The experience you brothers and sisters have had imitates that of God's churches that belong to Christ Jesus in Judaea. Just like your fellow Jewish Christians you suffered as they did at the hands of the Jewish leaders
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.
15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and chased us out. They don't please God and they are hostile to everyone,
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.
16 trying to prevent us from speaking to the other nations to prevent them from being saved. They're always sinning to the maximum extent, but for them full judgment has arrived!
Ina wantin nari tibelin anan nyan nsirti bara inan se utuchu Yesu nyan tazunu mine. Tinna nayi Kutelle ntolo nari udu ligang.
17 Brothers and sisters, since we felt as if we'd experienced a family separation because we hadn't seen you for a while (separated physically though not in spirit), we tried even harder to come and see you again face to face because that's what we wanted to do.
Arik, linwana w kosu nri nya kubiri ku bene, nyan yenju nya nibinai tiwa tezunu tiyene timuro mine.
18 We really wanted to come and visit you, and I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan stopped us.
Bara iwa dinin suu ti dak kitimine, meng Shawulu ndin ntenzunu, shaitan amini wantin nari.
19 For what gives us hope, what makes us happy, what we are really proud of as we stand before our Lord Jesus Christ when he comes back—is having you there too!
Bara iyangari likara mine nbun saliburi lio-oh. Sa likarin zazunu imong irumere nafo na among-ubung. Nchikilari Yesu asa ba se-eh
20 You are our pride and joy!
Anun ghereh uzazunu nin mang bit.
