¹Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

¹Katar o Pavlo, o Silas, ai o Timote ka tume kai si ande khangeri ande Thesalonika, kai tume si le Devleske O Dat, ai ande le Devles Jesus Kristos o mishtimos ai e pacha te avel tumen dini katar O Del amaro Dat, ai le Devles Jesus Kristo.

²We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;

²Ame naisisaras sagda le Devleske anda tumende savorhende, ai das ame sagda goji tumende kana rhugisavas.

³remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

³Seras ame angla Del amaro Dat sar sikadian tumaro pachamos, ai sar tumari dragostia dia tume voia te keren buchi le Devleske, ai sar tumaro pachamos ando Jesus Kristo ankerel.

⁴knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

⁴Amare phral, ame zhanas ke O Del drago sas tumenge, ai alosardia tume te aven leske.

⁵how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.

⁵Ke andiam tumenge e lashi viasta, na ferdi le vorbensa, numa la putierasa kai avel katar O Swunto Duxo. Ai o pachamos kai si amen ando kado chachimos kai avel katar e viasta. Tume zhanen sar traiisardiam mashkar tumende pe tumaro mishtimos.

⁶And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;

⁶Tume liam tume pala amende ai pala Kristo; chinuisardiam but, numa tume premisardian E Vorba le Devleski le raduimasa kai del O Swunto Duxo.

⁷so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

⁷No pe tumende sai len sama sa le phral kai si ande Macedonia ai ande Gretsia sar te traiin angla Del.

⁸For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.

⁸E Vorba le Devleski tumendar avili, na ferdi ande Macedonia ai ande Gretsia, numa katar godi e viasta tumare pachamos ka ando Del ashundili. Ame chi mai trobul te mothas kanikaske.

⁹For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

⁹Savorhe den duma pa kodia kai premisardian ame kana geliam tumende, ai kai meklian le ikoni te bolden tume karing O Del, saxke te keren buchi le Devleski le zhuvindeske ai le chacheske;

¹⁰and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

¹⁰ai te azhukeren te avel lesko Shav anda rhaio, kai zhuvindisardia les andai martia, lesko Shav O Jesus Kristo, ai kai ankaladia ame avri anda xoli le Devleski kai si te avel.
