²We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

²Yal ass nețḥemmid Sidi Ṛebbi fell-awen ; mkul m'ara nedɛu ɣuṛ-es, nețțader-ikkun-id di tẓallit-nneɣ.

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.

³Nețmektay-ikkun-id zdat Sidi Ṛebbi baba-tneɣ, ɣef wayen akk txeddmem seg wasmi tumnem s Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ ; tqeblem aț-țenneɛtabem ɣef ddemma n yisem-is imi tḥemmlem-t yerna lețkal-nwen fell-as d ameqqran.

⁴We know, brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” loved by God, that you are chosen,

⁴Ay atmaten eɛzizen ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi, neẓra belli d nețța i kkun-id ixtaṛen.

⁵and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

⁵Lexbeṛ-agi n lxiṛ i wen-d newwi mačči d imeslayen kan, lameɛna s țțeḥqiq i wen-d-nbecceṛ lexbaṛ-agi n tideț, s tezmert n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen. Teẓram amek i nedda gar-awen, asm'akken i nella ɣuṛ-wen ; nexdem ayagi iwakken a kkun-nɛiwen di tikli-nwen.

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

⁶Ula d kunwi tuɣalem tețțeddum am nukni deg webrid n Ssid-nneɣ, imi di teswiɛt iweɛṛen i tqeblem awal-is s lfeṛḥ i d-ițțak Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen.

⁷so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

⁷S wakka tuɣalem d lemtel i wid akk yumnen, i gellan di tmura n Masidunya akk-d Akaya.

⁸For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we need not to say anything.

⁸Axaṭer s ɣuṛ-wen, lexbaṛ n lxiṛ iwweḍ mačči kan ɣer tmura-agi, meɛna slan s liman-nwen di Sidi Ṛebbi di mkul amkan. Daymi fiḥel a d-nemmeslay fell-awen.

⁹For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

⁹Imdanen meṛṛa ḥekkun amek i tesṭerḥbem yis-nneɣ, amek i d-tuɣalem ɣer webrid n Sidi Ṛebbi, teǧǧam aɛbad n ssadaț, iwakken aț-țḍuɛem Sidi Ṛebbi n tideț, Sidi Ṛebbi yeddren.
