1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of Thessalonians in God the Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Sovereign 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 We always give thanks to God for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers,
Kisi ngiri ni Irji kpukpome, dini yoyi ni suron, kita ki bre Irji chachu ni tu mbi.
3 continually remembering before our God and Father your work for the Faith and your labor coming from the Love and your perseverance based on the Hope, our Lord Jesus Christ being their source,
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 knowing as we do, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen.
Mmri vayi wa Irji son yi, ki toh Irji chuyi,
5 You see, our Gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with complete certainty (of course you know what sort of men we proved to be 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 Yes you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the Word with the Holy Spirit's joy, in spite of severe affliction,
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 that you became examples to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 That is because the Word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia but also in every place—your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we do not need to say 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 They themselves report about you what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to be slaves to 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 wait for His Son coming out of the heavens (whom He raised from among the dead)—Jesus, who preserves us from the coming 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.
