1 Thessalonika 3
1 Ka ueh uh thai pawt dongah Athens bueng ah hnoo ham ka lungtlun uh coeng.
Therefore no longer containing, we delighted to be left alone at Athens;
2 Timothy, mamih kah manuca neh Khrih kah olthangthen ah Pathen kah bibipuei te nangmih aka duel ham neh nangmih te tangnah dongah hloephloei ham kan tueih uh.
and we sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God in the gospel of Christ, in order to establish you, and exhort you concerning your faith;
3 He phacip phabaem dongah ngingai ham moenih. He ham na om uh te amah la na ming uh.
that no one should be shaken in these tribulations. For you know that for this we are appointed.
4 Nangmih taengah ka om uh vaengah pataeng lawn ham ka cai uh te nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Te dongah a thoeng vanbangla na ming uh.
For indeed, when we were with you, we foretold you that we are about to suffer tribulation; as indeed took place, and you know it.
5 He he ka ueh tloel dongah nangmih kah tangnah he ming ham ni kan tueih. Aka cuekcawn loh nangmih n'cuekcawn koinih kaimih kah thatlohnah tah a tlongtlai la om mai mahpawt nim.
Therefore I indeed, no longer containing, sent that I might know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter tempted you, and our labor may be in vain.
6 Tedae nangmih lamloh kaimih taengla Timothy ha pawk tih nangmih kah tangnah neh lungnah khaw, kaimih poekkoepnah, a then la na khueh uh taitu te khaw, kaimih bangla nangmih khaw kaimih hmuh ham na rhingda uh te khaw kaimih ham olthangthen a phong.
But Timothy, having already come to us from you, and proclaimed to us the good news of your faith and your divine love, and that you always have a good mention of us, longing to see us, as we do to see you;
7 Te dongah manuca rhoek, kaimih kah kueknah neh phacip phabaem cungkuem ah nangmih kah tangnah rhangneh nangmih ham khaw ka mong uh.
therefore we were comforted, brethren, over you in all our distress and tribulation on account of your faith;
8 Te dongah nangmih te Boeipa ah na cak uh atah n'hing uh coeng.
because we now live, if you stand in the Lord.
9 Nangmih kongah mamih Pathen kah hmaiah ka omngaih uh. Te omngaihnah cungkuem kongah nangmih yueng la Pathen te mebang uemonah nen nim n'sah thai ve.
For what thanks are we able to render unto God in your behalf, for all the joy with which we rejoice on account of you before our God;
10 Nangmih maelhmai hmuh ham neh nangmih kah tangnah dongah vawtthoeknah te moeh ham khoyin khothaih a puehdaih la ka bih uh.
night and day praying incessantly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies of your faith?
11 A pa Pathen mah neh mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh loh nangmih taengla kaimih kah longpuei hoihaeng pawn saeh.
But God himself, even our Father, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you:
12 Te dongah Boeipa loh nangmih m'pungtai sak saeh lamtah lungnah te khat neh khat soah khaw, hlang boeih soah khaw, kaimih bangla nangmih soah khaw baecoih saeh.
and the Lord fill you and cause you to superabound in divine love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also do towards you;
13 Mamih kah Pathen neh Pa hmaikah cimcaihnah dongah, mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh neh a hlangcim rhoek boeih kah a lonah dongah nangmih kah thinko te cuemthuek la duel uh. Amen.
in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness in the presence of God even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints: amen.
