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 church 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 you all, making mention of 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, in the presence of our God and Father, your work of faith, your labor of love, and your endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Mmri vayi wa Irji son yi, ki toh Irji chuyi,
For we know, brothers beloved by God, that you have been 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
because our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. You know what sort of men we proved to be among 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.
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you received the word in much affliction with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
As a result you have become examples to all the believers in Macedonia and 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 not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but reports of your faith in God have gone out everywhere, so that we have no need to say anything about it.
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 the people themselves report what kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned away from idols to serve the 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.
as you wait for his Son Jesus to return from heaven, whom God raised from the dead, and who rescues us from the coming wrath.
