1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
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
2 Grace and peace to you. We give thanks to God always for all of you, keeping the memory of you in our prayers without ceasing,
Kisi ngiri ni Irji kpukpome, dini yoyi ni suron, kita ki bre Irji chachu ni tu mbi.
3 remembering your work of faith, and hardship, and charity, and enduring hope, in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father.
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.
4 For we know, brothers, beloved of God, of your election.
Mmri vayi wa Irji son yi, ki toh Irji chuyi,
5 For our Gospel has not been among you in word alone, but also in virtue, and in the Holy Spirit, and with a great fullness, in the same manner as you know we have acted among you for your sake.
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
6 And so, you became imitators of us and of the Lord, accepting the Word in the midst of great tribulation, but with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
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.
7 So have you become a pattern for all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8 For from you, the Word of the Lord was spread, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith, which is toward God, has advanced so much so that we do not need to speak to you about anything.
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.
9 For others are reporting among us of the kind of acceptance we had among you, and how you were converted from idols to God, to the service of the living and true God,
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,
10 and to the expectation of his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who has rescued us from the approaching wrath.
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.
