1 Teselonikawa 1
1 Bulus, Silvanus, mba Timoti hi ni Chochi ni Tasalonika wandi a hi tietie ni Baci mbu Yesu Kristi. Do Irji zo yi du yiki piam me
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Kisi ngiri ni Irji kpukpome, dini yoyi ni suron, kita ki bre Irji chachu ni tu mbi.
We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
3 Ki ta ri-mmre indú, ni kři ngangban mbi ni nkon Irji, mba ndu son ni vu suron, mba yo suron ni Baci mbu Yesu Kristi.
remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labour of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
4 Mmri vayi wa Irji son yi, ki toh Irji chuyi,
We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
5 nitu andi lan tre ma a ye ni yi ana ni gbengble megen na, ama ni ibrji yeyere wu Baci wandi ani nota sisuron. Bi yi me bi toh ko ki ndi bibirime, ni bibi son mbu niyi
and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be amongst you for your sake.
6 Bi ka hu za mbu ni za Bachi mbu ngyerengyere ndi kpa tre Irji mba yá wa ndi ani hu gonma ni sisuron. Ni tu kima, bi yoh injo ndindima kaagon Masidoniya mba Akaya nitu lantre wa ndi bi kpa nyeme niwu.
You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8 Itre Bachi mbu zren kaagon rji ni yi nda ka rini Masidoniya mba Akaya, u kri gbamgba mbi ni nkoh Irji aka rini ko nintse. Bachi mbu a zren kaagon gbagban mu. Ni tu kima, kita kina he ni-kpe wa ki hla nitu mbi ngana.
For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith towards God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.
9 Babã me ba bla ndi bi-kpa ba ni wo-hah ni ƙma suron mbi rji ni hu brji ye ni hu Irji ni shulu,
For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
10 nitu kima bisi gben Ivren Irji wa-ndi ani rji ni shulu, wa Irji a chu-u rji nimi ɓe nda nou vri - Yesu, wawu mba kpa ta chuwo rji ni-nfu Irji.
and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
