Updated for Swift 3 without using any third party library or pods

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let redLabel: UILabel = {

        let label = UILabel()
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.font = .boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
        label.textColor = .red
        label.text = "The first paragraph of the body should contain the strongest argument, most significant example, cleverest illustration, or an obvious beginning point."
        return label
    }()

    let greenLabel: UILabel = {

        let label = UILabel()
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 14)
        label.textColor = .green
        label.text = "The second paragraph of the body should contain the second strongest argument, second most significant example, second cleverest illustration, or an obvious follow up the first paragraph in the body."
        return label
    }()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        title = "Marquee Label Demo"
        view.backgroundColor = .white

        view.addSubview(redLabel)
        view.addSubview(greenLabel)

        setupAutoLayout()
        startMarqueeLabelAnimation()
    }

    func startMarqueeLabelAnimation() {

        DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {

            UIView.animate(withDuration: 10.0, delay: 1, options: ([.curveLinear, .repeat]), animations: {() -> Void in

                self.redLabel.center = CGPoint(x: 0 - self.redLabel.bounds.size.width / 2, y: self.redLabel.center.y)
                self.greenLabel.center = CGPoint(x: 0 - self.greenLabel.bounds.size.width / 2, y: self.greenLabel.center.y)

            }, completion:  nil)
        })
    }

    func setupAutoLayout() {

        redLabel.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true
        redLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 100).isActive = true
        redLabel.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20).isActive = true

        greenLabel.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true
        greenLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: redLabel.bottomAnchor, constant: 50).isActive = true
        greenLabel.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20).isActive = true
    }
}
