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.
1Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.
2 Bët bu set nu ngi sant Yàlla ndax yéen, di leen boole ci sunuy ñaan.
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,
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.
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;
4 Bokk yi, yéen ñi Yàlla bëgg, xam nanu ne Yàlla tànn na leen;
4knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.
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.
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:
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.
6and *ye* became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,
7 Noonu ngeen daldi nekk royukaay ngir ñi gëm ñépp ci diiwaani Maseduwan ak Akayi.
7so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:
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,
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;
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,
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,
10 te ngeen di séentu Doomam bàyyikoo asamaan, moom Yeesu mi mu dekkal te di nu musal ci merum Yàlla, mi nar a ñëw.
10and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
