1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace.
Sel Paul, Silas, ac Timothy — Nu sin mwet lun church in Thessalonica, su ma lun God Papa ac Leum Jesus Christ: Lungkulang ac misla in oan yuruwos.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
Kut sang kulo nu sin God keiwos nukewa, ac esam kowos in pre lasr pacl nukewa.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and perseverance in the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father;
Kut esam na ye mutun God ac Papa tumasr ouiyen orekmakinyen lulalfongi lowos, ac lungse lowos su pwanang kowos moniyuk in orekma, ac finsrak ku lowos ke Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
4 since we know, brethren beloved of God, that he hath chosen you;
Mwet wiasr in Leum, kut etu lah God El lungse kowos ac sulekowosla tuh kowos in mwet lal.
5 because the gospel preached by us came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye well know what sort of persons we became among you for your sake.
Tuh kut fahkak Pweng Wo nu suwos, tia ke kas mukena, a ke ku ac ke Ngun Mutal, ac oayapa ke etu na pwaye lasr lah ma inge kas pwaye. Aok, kowos etu ouiyen moul lasr ke kut tuh muta yuruwos, lah ma kut oru ma in akwoye kowos.
6 And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy from the Holy Spirit;
Kowos etawi kut ac oayapa Leum; ac finne yohk keok lowos, kowos tuh eis pweng ke Jesus wi engan su tuku sin Ngun Mutal.
7 so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Ouinge kowos ekla mwe srikasrak nu sin mwet lulalfongi nukewa in acn Macedonia ac Achaia.
8 For from you the word of the Lord hath sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God hath become known; so that we need not say anything [[about you]].
Ke sripowos, kas ke Leum inge sulkakinyukelik, tia nu in acn Macedonia ac Achaia mukena, a pweng ke lulalfongi lowos ke God fahsrelik nu yen nukewa. Ouinge wanginna ma kut enenu in fahk.
9 For they themselves are reporting concerning us what kind of reception we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,
Mwet nukewa srumun ouiyen painguk wowo lowos nu sesr ke kut tuh fahsrot nu yuruwos, oayapa ke kowos forla liki alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac inge kowos kulansapu God pwaye ac moul,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.
ac kowos soano tuku lun Wen natul inkusrao me — aok Jesus, su God El akmoulyauk liki misa, ac su molikutla liki kasrkusrak lun God ke len in nununku ac tuku.
