Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.

2 Ti tuondi u tienu yoginu kuli, ti tiadi yi yela ti jaandi nni yi po.

We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers

3 Ti tiadi yoginu kuli ki kaa cedi yi dandanli tuonli po yeni yi tuuni yeni mi buanma maama po, yeni yi pia ya dandanli sedima, ti diedo jesu kilisiti yua n tie u tienu ti baa nintuali.

and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

4 N ninjaba u tienu buakaaba, ti bani ke u tienu den yini'yi.

Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,

5 Tii den wangi'yi o laabaali ŋanmo yeni mi maama bebe ka, ama yeni u tienu fuonma yua paacianmu po, yeni li pamancianli kelima la bɔn'yi, yi bani tin den ye yi siigan yeni ya tɔgu buolu yi ŋanmu po.

because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.

6 YI den tua yabi n ŋɔdi tinba yeni ti yonbidaano yaaba n gaa u tienu maama ba o fala cianmu siign yeni u tienu fuonma yua n puuni ya pamanli po.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

7 Ke yi fidi ki tua ban ba togidi yaaba yeni yabi kuli ye Masaduana yeni Akayi po.

As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 Kelima laa tie yi ya kani yeni Maseduana, yeni Akayi bebe ke u tienu maama den ya yaali, ama i kaani kuli yi dandanli maama den yadi ke laa gɔ tie tiladi nilo n gɔa maadi li po.

For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

9 Kelima bani bi ba tie sieda li po yeni tin den ba ya cangaanma yi kani, yeni yi den lebidi ke ŋoadi(ŋɔdi) u tienu ke ŋaa i buli, ti ba ŋoadi u tienu yua n fuo ke tie moamoni.

For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God

10 Moala yi gu o bijua jesu, wani jesu yua n den fii bi kpienba siigin ke den faabi ti u tienu pabienli yaali n ba cua.

and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.
