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.
Hagi nagra Polinagi, Sailasi'ene Timotigata ama avona Tesalonaika kumate Anumza Nafatimofompima mani'naza naga'motarega kreneramune. Anumza Nafatine, Ranti Jisas Kraisi asunku'zamo'ene, rimpa fruzamo'a tamagrane mesie.
2 We always thank God for you all [when] we mention you while we pray (OR, [when] we pray [for you]).
Hagi maka kna tagra, tamagrikura Anumzamofona susu hunenteta, nunamuna huneramantone.
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]!
Na'ankure tamagrama Anumza Nafatimofonte tamentinti nehuta, eri'zama enerita, vahe avesintezamofo eriza enerita, Rantimo Jisas Kraisi'ma eforema hanigu, kazigazi hutma Anumza Nafatimofo avure e'nerizazankura antahirami vava nehune.
4 My fellow believers whom God loves, we [also thank him because] we know that he chose you [to become his people].
Nafuhete, tagra antahi'none, Anumzamo'a avesineramanteno, Agri'a vahe manisazegu huhampritamante'ne.
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.
Na'ankure tagrama Knare Musenkema nehunana, ke'age nosune. Hianagi Ruotge Avamumofo hanavere tagu'areti huta huama nehunanki, tagra inankna vahe'mota tamagrira tamaza hunakura nehune, tamagra tageta antahita hu'naze.
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.
Tamagranena, tagrama nehunaza tavaririta nehuta, Ramo'ma nehiankna nehutma, tamagra Anumzamofo naneke e'nerizageno, rama'a knazana neramizanagi, Ruotge Avamumo tamazeri otigetma muse nehaze.
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.
Ana hu'negu tamagra maka Masedoniane Akaia kumate mani'naza mono vahetera, mago knare avamezankna hutma mani'naze.
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].
Na'ankure Ramofo kemo'a tamagripinti agerura runo e'neana, Masedoniane Akaia kumateke agerura orune. Hianagi tamagrama Anumzamofontema tamamentintima hu'naza zamo'a maka kumatega vuno eno hige'za antahi'nazankita, tagra mago kea osugahune.
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.
Na'ankure rama'a vahe'mo'za tamagrama neravreta, havi anumzama tamefi hunemitma, kasefa huno mani'nea tamage Anumzamofontema tamamentinti hu'naza zana tasami'naze.
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].
Hagi monafinti Anumzamofo mofavremo esigu avega anteta mani'nomofo, frinefinti azeri oti'nea Ne' Jisasi'a, Anumzamofo rimpa hezampinti tahokeno taguvazi'ne.
