1Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.
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 at our prayers,
2 Iri goono ga Irikoy saabu waati kulu araŋ kulu sabbay se, waati kaŋ iri ga fongu araŋ adduwa ra.
3remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and 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 by God, your election.
4 Nya-izey, araŋ kaŋ Irikoy ga ba, iri ga bay kaŋ a n'araŋ suuban no.
5For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:
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 our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,
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 became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in 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 the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;
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 relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a 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 await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
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.
