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

2 Kut sang kulo nu sin God keiwos nukewa, ac esam kowos in pre lasr pacl nukewa.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention in our prayers;

3 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.

incessantly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God even our Father;

4 Mwet wiasr in Leum, kut etu lah God El lungse kowos ac sulekowosla tuh kowos in mwet lal.

knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

5 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.

because our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as you know what sort we were among you for your sakes.

6 Kowos etawi kut ac oayapa Leum; ac finne yohk keok lowos, kowos tuh eis pweng ke Jesus wi engan su tuku sin Ngun Mutal.

And you became imitators of us, and the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with the joy of the Holy Ghost;

7 Ouinge kowos ekla mwe srikasrak nu sin mwet lulalfongi nukewa in acn Macedonia ac Achaia.

so that you are an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 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.

For from you the word of the Lord echoed out, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say any thing:

9 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,

for they proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living God,

10 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.

and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering us from the wrath to come.
