Sie Thessalonica 1

1 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.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

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

We always give thanks to God for you all, making mention of you 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.

unceasingly remembering your work of faith, and the labor of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

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

having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,

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 good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as you have known of what sort we became among you for your sake,

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 of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,

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

so that you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and 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 has sounded forth the word of the LORD, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God went forth, so that we have no need to say anything,

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 themselves declare concerning us what entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve a living and true 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 wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.
