1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Ay, Bulos, da Sila nda Timotiyos, iri go ga Tassalonika borey Almasihu* marga fo kaŋ go Baaba Irikoy da Rabbi Yesu Almasihu ra. Gomni nda laakal kanay ma bara araŋ banda.
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
2 Iri goono ga Irikoy saabu waati kulu araŋ kulu sabbay se, waati kaŋ iri ga fongu araŋ adduwa ra.
3Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
3 Iri goono ga fongu waati kulu nd'araŋ goyo cimbeeri ra, d'araŋ saajaw goyo baakasinay ra, d'araŋ beeja ra suuro mo kaŋ go iri Rabbo Yesu Almasihu ra, iri Baabo Irikoy jine.
4Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
4 Nya-izey, araŋ kaŋ Irikoy ga ba, iri ga bay kaŋ a n'araŋ suuban no.
5For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
5 Zama iri Baaru Hanna, manti sanni hinne no a kaa d'a araŋ do bo, amma hala nda dabari, da Biya* Hanno mo. A kaa tabbatante mo gumo. Zama araŋ ga bay goray kaŋ dumi iri te araŋ game ra araŋ sabbay se.
6And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
6 Araŋ ciya iri dondonkoyaŋ da Rabbi wane yaŋ mo, za kaŋ araŋ n'a sanno ta taabi boobo ra, da Biya Hanno farhã ra mo.
7So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
7 Hal araŋ ciya di-ka-dondonyaŋ hari borey kulu se kaŋ go ga cimandi Masidoniya laabo ra, da Akaya laabo ra mo.
8For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
8 Zama araŋ do no Rabbi sanno sintin ka yooje, hal a koy Masidoniya nda Akaya ra. Day manti Masidoniya nda Akaya ra hinne no bo, amma araŋ Irikoy cimandiyaŋ baaro koy naŋ kulu, hal iri si hay kulu ci koyne.
9For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
9 Zama ngey bumbey go ga dede iri boŋ da furoyaŋ kaŋ dumi iri te araŋ do. I go ga dede mo mate kaŋ cine araŋ na toorey naŋ ka bare Irikoy do, zama araŋ ma may Irikoy cimi-cimo, fundikoono se,
10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
10 k'a Izo kaŋ ga fun beena ra hangan mo. Izo din ga ti Yesu, kaŋ Irikoy n'a tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra. Nga no g'iri faaba bine futay _alwaato|_ kaŋ ga kaa gaa.
