1 Thessalonians 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me]. [We(exc) are sending this letter] to [you who are] the congregation [of believers] in Thessalonica [city]. We [(inc)] all [worship] (OR, [trust in]) God [our] Father [MET] and [our] Lord Jesus Christ. [We three desire/pray that God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
Bolo, Sailase amola Dimodi, ninia da dilia Desalounia Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi (sese) dunu, Ada Gode amola Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu, amo Ea fi dunu dilima meloa dedene iaha. Hahawane dogolegele iasu amola olofosu dili dawa: ma: ne, ninia dawa: lala.
2 We always thank God for you all [when] we mention you while we pray (OR, [when] we pray [for you]).
Ninia eso huluane Godema sia: ne gadosea, dilia hou dawa: beba: le, Godema nodosa. Amola Gode da dili fidima: ne, ninia Godema sia: ne gadosa.
3 [We thank God because] we continually remember that you work [for God because] you trust [in him] and you earnestly/energetically help people because you love them. You also endure [it when people cause you to suffer]. You endure it because you confidently expect that our Lord Jesus Christ [will soon return from heaven to rescue you]!
Dilia da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le hawa: hamoi, amola asigidafa hou lalegaguiba: le, baligiliwane hawa: hamoi amola dilia Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu amo dafawane esaloma: beyale dawa: lusu hou hame yolesi, amo huluane dawa: beba: le ninia da ninia Ada Godema nodone sia: ne gadosa.
4 My fellow believers whom God loves, we [also thank him because] we know that he chose you [to become his people].
Ninia fi dunu! Gode da dilima asigisa amola dilia da Ea fi dunu esaloma: ne, E da dili ilegei dagoi, amo ninia dawa:
5 We know that he chose you because [when] we told that message to you, we did not speak only words. The Holy Spirit [helped us to speak] powerfully/effectively, and he strongly assured [us that he was powerfully working in you by means of] the message [about Christ] that we [told to you. You yourselves know that], because you know how we spoke and how we conducted ourselves when we were with you, in order that [we might help] you.
Ninia da Gode Ea Sia: Ida: iwane Gala sia: ga fawane hame olelei. Be Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da gasa bagadewane gilisili olelebeba: le, amo sia: da dafawane dilia dawa: i galu. Ninia da dilia gilisisu amo ganodini esalea, dilia da nini hou ba: i. Ninia dili fidima: ne hawa: hamosu.
6 We also [know that God chose you] because we have now heard that you have endured your troubles when [people] caused you to suffer very much [because you believed in Christ]. You endured just like the Lord [Jesus Christ] endured, and just like we did [when people caused us to suffer]. At that time you were joyful because the Holy Spirit caused you to be joyful.
Dilia da nini hou amola Hina Gode Ea hou amo defele hamosu. Dilia da se bagade nabasu. Be amo mae dawa: le, dilia da hahawane amo Gode Ea A: silibu hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi amoga hahawane Gode Ea sia: nabi dagoi.
7 As a result [of your joyfully enduring your troubles], all the believers who live in Macedonia and Achaia [provinces have heard how firmly you trust God. So they know that they should firmly trust in God] as you do.
Dili noga: le hamobeba: le, Yesu Ea hou lalegagui dunu huluane Ma: sidounia soge amola Aga: ia soge amo ganodini da dilia hou amoma fa: no bobogei.
8 Other people have heard you tell the message [from] the Lord [Jesus]. Then they also have proclaimed the message to people who live throughout Macedonia and Achaia [provinces]. Not only that, but [people who live] in many far-away places [HYP] have heard that you trust in God. As a result, we do not need to tell people [what God has done in your lives].
Dilia da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu Ea sia: Ma: sidounia dunu amola Aga: ia dunu, ilima olelei. Be ili fawane hame. Dilia Godema dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amo dunu huluanedafa ilia nabi dagoi. Amaiba: le, ninia da dilima bu hame sia: mu galebe.
9 People [who live far from you are telling others what happened when we were with you]. They also report that you stopped [worshipping things that] ([you/your ancestors]) [considered to be] gods and now you worship God. [As a result], you serve the God who is all-powerful and who is the real God.
Amo dunu huluane da amane sia: sa. Ninia da dilima misini, dilia da ninia hahawane dogolegele yosia: ne, loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi ilima sia: ne gadosu hou yolesili, Godema sinidigili, amola Esalebe Gode Ea hawa: hamosu.
10 They tell us that now you wait expectantly for his Son [to return to earth] from heaven. You firmly believe that God caused him to live again after he died. You believe also that Jesus will rescue [all of] us, [who trust in him], from [God’s] punishing us [MTY].
Amola dilia da Gode Ea Mano amo Hebene yolesili, osobo bagadega bu misa: ne ouesalusu. Amo Gode da Ea Mano Yesu Ea bogoi wa: legadolesi. Gode Ea ougi fofada: su hou da misunu galebe. Be Yesu Gelesu da nini amo ougi hou mae ba: ma: ne, ninia Gaga: su dunu esala.
