1 Thessalonika 4
1 Te dongah manuca rhoek, Boeipa Jesuh ming neh nangmih kan dawt uh tih kan hloep uh. Te daengah ni nangmih popang ham neh Pathen kolo ham metla a kuek te kaimih taengkah na dang uh vanbangla rhep na pongpa uh tih taoe na hoeikhang uh eh.
Therefore, concerning other things, brothers, we ask and beg you, in the Lord Jesus, that, just as you have received from us the way in which you ought to walk and to please God, so also may you walk, in order that you may abound all the more.
2 Boeipa Jesuh rhang neh nangmih taengah me bang oluen kan paek uh te khaw na ming uh.
For you know what precepts I have given to you through the Lord Jesus.
3 Nangmih kah cimcaihnah he Pathen kah kongaih la a om dongah, nangmih loh Cukhalnah te rhael ham,
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from fornication,
4 nangmih pakhat rhip loh namamih kah koe te cimcaihnah neh hinyahnah dongah kaelh ham te ming ham,
that each one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor,
5 Pathen aka ming pawh namtom rhoek bangla cukhalhnah, huebawtnah khuiah om uh boeh.
not in passions of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God,
6 Amah manuca he dumlai neh khumla boel lamtah omtoem boeh. Te boeih te aka thuung la Boeipa a om dongah nangmih taengah ka thui uh tih kang uen uh van.
and that no one should overwhelm or circumvent his brother in business. For the Lord is the vindicator of all these things, just as we have preached and testified to you.
7 Rhongingnah ham pawt tih cimcaihnah khuiah ni mamih he Pathen loh n'khue.
For God has not called us to impurity, but to sanctification.
8 Te dongah aka aal long tah hlang aal pawt tih nangmih taengah amah kah Mueihla Cim aka pae Pathen ni a aal.
And so, whoever despises these teachings, does not despise man, but God, who has even provided his Holy Spirit within us.
9 Tedae manuca lungnah kawng te nangmih taengah kan daek ham ngoe pawh. Khat neh khat lungnah ham te nangmih tah pathen kah a thuituen lana om uh.
But concerning the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you. For you yourselves have learned from God that you should love one another.
10 Makedonia pum kah manuca rhoek boeih taengah khaw na saii uh ngawn coeng. Tedae manuca rhoek nangmih te taoe pungtai ham kan hloep uh.
For indeed, you act in this way with all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we petition you, brothers, so that you may abound all the more,
11 Nangmih kan uen uh vanbangla a dingsuek la tlungmu ham, amah la saii ham koi tah namamih kut neh saii uh.
to choose work that allows you to be tranquil, and to carry out your business and to do your work with your own hands, just as we have instructed you,
12 Te daengah ni rhamvoel rhoek taengah a rhoeprhui la na pongpa uh vetih a ngoengaih na khueh uh pawt eh.
and to walk honestly with those who are outside, and to desire nothing belonging to another.
13 Manuca rhoek aka ip rhoek ham na mangvawt uh te ka ngaih uh moenih. Te daengah ni ngaiuepnah aka khueh mueh hlang tloe rhoek bangla na ko a thae uh pawt eh.
And we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are sleeping, so as not to be sorrowful, like these others who do not have hope.
14 Jesuh tah duek tih tho tila n'tangnah uh atah Jesuh ah aka ip rhoek te khaw Pathen loh amah taengah a khuen van ni.
For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, so also will God bring back with Jesus those who sleep in him.
15 Boeipa kah olka neh nangmih ham ka thui uh. Boeipa a lonah duela aka om tih aka hing mamih loh aka ip taengtae n'khaal uh loengloeng mahpawh.
For we say this to you, in the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive, who remain until the return of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 Boeipa amah te tamhoenah neh, puencawn boei kah ol neh, Pathen kah olueng neh, vaan lamkah ha rhum ni. Te vaengah Khrih ah aka duek rhoek te lamhma la thoo uh ni.
For the Lord himself, with a command and with the voice of an Archangel and with a trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven. And the dead, who are in Christ, shall rise up first.
17 Te phoeiah mamih aka hing tih aka om rhoek te amih neh thikat la yilh dongkah boeipa te doe ham khomai neh pomsang hang vetih boeipa neh kumhal la n'om uh van ni.
Next, we who are alive, who are remaining, shall be taken up quickly together with them into the clouds to meet Christ in the air. And in this way, we shall be with the Lord always.
18 Te dongah he olka neh thikat la hloep uh thae.
Therefore, console one another with these words.
