Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ta shin cur booise kinjagh gys Jee er nyn son eu ooilley, gimraa erriu ayns nyn badjeryn.

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

3

Cooinaghtyn dy kinjagh er yn obbyr eu dy chredjue, as y tooilleil dy ghraih, as y surranse dy hreishteil ayns nyn Jiarn Yeesey Creest, ayns shilley Yee as nyn Ayr:

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

4

Toiggal, chaarjyn ghraihagh, dy vel shiu reiht liorish Jee.

Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

5

Son cha daink y sushtal ainyn hiu ayns goo ny-lomarcan, agh myrgeddin ayns pooar, as ayns y Spyrryd Noo, as ayns slane shickyrys, myr ta fys eu kys ren shin gymmyrkey shin hene ny mast'eu, er y choontey eu.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

6

As haink shiu dy ve eiyrtyssee orrin, as er y Chiarn, myr va shiu er ghoaill rish y goo ayns mooarane seaghyn, lesh boggey yn Spyrryd Noo:

And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.

7

Myr shen dy row shiu sampleyryn dauesyn ooilley ta credjal ayns Macedonia as Achaia.

So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

8

Son veueish hie feiyr goo Yn Chiarn magh, cha nee ny lomarcan ayns Macedonia as Achaia; agh myrgeddin ayns dy chooilley voayl ta'n credjue euish ayns Jee er ny skeayley dy lhean myr shen nagh lhiass dooin cheet harrish.

For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

9

Son t'ad hene soilshaghey mychione ain, kys ghow shiu rooin tra haink shin hoshiaght ny mast' eu, as kys hyndaa shiu gys Jee veih jallooyn, dy hirveish y Jee bio as firrinagh,

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

10

As dy arkiagh son e Vac veih niau, t'eh er hroggal veih ny merriu, dy jarroo Yeesey t'er nyn livrey veih'n chorree ta dy heet.

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
