Oblanyo fioo ko hi Listra asafo lɛ mli, ni atsɛɔ lɛ Timoteo. Epapa lɛ, Helanyo ni, shi emami lɛ, Yuda yoo ni. Emami gbɛ́i ji Eunike ni enaa gbɛ́i ji Loise. Timoteo mami kɛ enaa tsɔɔ lɛ Yehowa he nii kɛjɛ egbekɛbiiashi.

Be ni Paulo fã gbɛ eyashiɛ nɔ ni ji shii enyɔ nɔ lɛ, eyasara nyɛmimɛi ni yɔɔ Listra lɛ. Be ni eshɛ jɛmɛ lɛ, ena akɛ Timoteo sumɔɔ nyɛmimɛi lɛ asane waa, ni eesumɔ ni eye ebua amɛ.

Mumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ wa Paulo kɛ Timoteo yɛ he fɛɛ he ni amɛtee. Gbɛkɛ ko lɛ, Paulo na nuu ko yɛ ninaa mli. Nuu lɛ kɛɛ lɛ akɛ eba Makedonia ni ebawa amɛ. No hewɔ lɛ, Paulo, Timoteo, Sila, kɛ Luka tee jɛmɛ amɛyashiɛ ni amɛto asafoi.

Be ni amɛyashiɛ yɛ maŋ ko ni yɔɔ Makedonia ni atsɛɔ lɛ Tesalonika lɛ mli lɛ, hii kɛ yei pii batsɔmɔ Kristofoi. Shi Yudafoi komɛi sumɔɔɔ shiɛmɔ ni Paulo kɛ mɛi ni fata ehe lɛ shiɛɔ lɛ.
