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 Nun Pool, Silwan ak Timote noo ngi leen di bind, yéen mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Tesalonig te nekk ci Yàlla Baay bi ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist. Na yiw ak jàmm ànd ak yéen.
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
2 Bët bu set nu ngi sant Yàlla ndax yéen, di leen boole ci sunuy ñaan.
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 Dunu noppee fàttaliku ci kanam Yàlla sunu Baay jëf ji juddu ci seen ngëm, liggéey bi tukkee ci seen mbëggeel, ak muñ gi sosoo ci seen yaakaar ci sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist.
4Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
4 Bokk yi, yéen ñi Yàlla bëgg, xam nanu ne Yàlla tànn na leen;
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 ndaxte xebaar bu baax, bi nu leen doon yégal, yemul woon ci ay wax rekk, waaye àndoon na ak kàttan ak Xel mu Sell mi ak kóolute gu mag. Xam ngeen sunu taxawaay ci seen biir ngir seen njariñ.
6And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
6 Te aw ngeen sunuy tànk ak yu Boroom bi, ci li ngeen nangu xebaar bi ci biir fitna yu metti, ànd ak mbég ci dooley Xel mu Sell mi.
7So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
7 Noonu ngeen daldi nekk royukaay ngir ñi gëm ñépp ci diiwaani Maseduwan ak Akayi.
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 Ndaxte kàddug Boroom bi jollee na ci seen biir, te yemul ci Maseduwan ak Akayi rekk, waaye seen gëm Yàlla siiw na fépp. Matul sax nu di ci wax dara,
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 ndaxte ñoom ci seen bopp ñooy seede li sunu ngan def ci seen biir. Maanaam, ni ngeen dëddoo xërëm yi, jublu ci Yàlla te di ko jaamu, moom miy Yàlla Aji Dund ju dëggu ji,
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 te ngeen di séentu Doomam bàyyikoo asamaan, moom Yeesu mi mu dekkal te di nu musal ci merum Yàlla, mi nar a ñëw.
