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.
Kadura usuro ahira a Bulus, Silas, nanTimoti, uhana ahira anu tarsa Asere Utasalonikawa anyimo a ugomo Asere acoo nan Yeso vana ume me. Caa masaa nan iriba irum idii ishi me.
2 We always thank God for you all [when] we mention you while we pray (OR, [when] we pray [for you]).
Ti zini iriba irum kode uya uyui ahira Ugomo Asere barki vat ushi, anyimo abiringira biru.
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]!
Ti ringizi in katuma ka riri kashi me aje Ugomo Asere acoo, sarki umarsa, katuma ku nyara unihenu, muriba mu sheu, barki uhana anaje anyimo a Yeso vanaa Ugomo Asere.
4 My fellow believers whom God loves, we [also thank him because] we know that he chose you [to become his people].
Ti rusa haru andesa wa raani anyimo iriba i Ugomo Asere wani, ma zauka shi.
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.
Barki tize ti Ugomo Asere taa e usuro anikira nibibe biriri nan uhem uni. I kuri usuro usasana wa anu sa taa zi anyimo ashi me.
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.
Ya cukuno anu manza uru nan Ugomo Asere, gusi uzina me sa ya kabi tize ti Ugomo Asere me, anyimo ijasi nan iriba irum anyimo bibe biriri bi Ugomo Asere.
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.
Barki ani me, ya cukuno anu u'inso aje, daki Umakidoniya nan Ukaya cas ba.
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].
Usuro ushi me uni tize ti Ugomo Aseretaa samirka, daki Umakidoniya nan Ukaya cas ba. Uwito ace ashi me anyimo atize ta Asere ta hana piit.
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.
We ina ce awe me waa bezi usasana iriba iru anyimo ashi me. wa buki uzina uwito ace ashi me ahira Ugomo Asere, ya ceki utarsa umakiri barki itarsi Ugomo Asere.
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].
Wa buka i zinnu ube uze uvanaa Asere Yeso sa madi ze usuro asessere, de be sa maa hiri usuro iwono ka'inde, de be sa maa nyan duru nikara usuro anyimo iriba iburi i ugomo Asere.
