¹ Nun Pool ak Silwan ak Timote noo leen di bind, yéen mbooloom ñi gëm ci dëkku Tesalonig te nekk ci Yàlla sunu Baay ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist.

¹Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

² Na leen Yàlla Baay bi ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist may yiw ak jàmm.

²Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

³ Bokk yi, mënunu lu dul sax ci sant Yàlla ndax yéen. Loolu jaadu na, ndax seen ngëm di gën a sax, te mbëggeel gi ngeen am ci seen biir, ku nekk ci sa moroom, di yokku lu bare.

³We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

⁴ Noonu nu ngi damu ci yéen ci kanamu mboolooy Yàlla yi, ndax seen muñ ak seen ngëm ci biir mboolem fitnay noon, ak coono, yi ngeen di dékku.

⁴so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;

⁵ Loolu mooy firndeel àtteb Yàlla bu jub bi, di wone ne yelloo ngeen nguuru Yàlla, gi tax ngeen di sonn.

⁵a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,

⁶ Ndaxte jub na ci Yàlla, mu delloo coono ñi leen di sonal,

⁶since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you — trouble,

⁷ te it yéen ñiy dékku coono, mu boole leen ak nun, tàbbal nu ci noflaay, bés bu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist jógee asamaan, feeñ fi. Keroog dina ànd ak malaakaam yu am kàttan,

⁷and to you who are troubled — rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

⁸ safara su yànj wër ko, mu feeñ ngir mbugal ñi xamul Yàlla te bañ a déggal xebaar bu baaxu sunu Boroom Yeesu.

⁸in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁹ Seen pey mooy alku ba fàww, ñu dàq leen fu sore Boroom bi ak ndamam lu réy.

⁹who shall suffer justice — destruction age-during — from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

¹⁰ Dina ñëw bés booba, ngir ndamam jolli ci biir gaayam yu sell yi, te ñépp ñi ko gëm yéemu ci moom — te ci ngeen bokk, ndaxte gëm ngeen li nu leen seede.

¹⁰when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing — because our testimony was believed among you — in that day;

¹¹ Moo tax dunu noppeek di leen ñaanal, ngir Yàlla sunu Boroom def leen, ngeen yeyoo li tax mu woo leen, te yeggali ak doole ci yéen bépp yéene ju baax ak bépp jëfu ngëm.

¹¹for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

¹² Noonu turu Yeesu sunu Boroom dina màgg ci yéen, te yéen it dingeen màgg ci moom, aju ci yiwu sunu Yàlla ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist.

¹²that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
