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.
Finally then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to live and to please God, even as you are living, that you excel more and more.
2 Boeipa Jesuh rhang neh nangmih taengah me bang oluen kan paek uh te khaw na ming uh.
For you know what instructions we gave 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 abstain from sexual immorality,
4 nangmih pakhat rhip loh namamih kah koe te cimcaihnah neh hinyahnah dongah kaelh ham te ming ham,
that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
5 Pathen aka ming pawh namtom rhoek bangla cukhalhnah, huebawtnah khuiah om uh boeh.
not in the passion of lust, even as the nations 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.
that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
7 Rhongingnah ham pawt tih cimcaihnah khuiah ni mamih he Pathen loh n'khue.
For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
8 Te dongah aka aal long tah hlang aal pawt tih nangmih taengah amah kah Mueihla Cim aka pae Pathen ni a aal.
Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
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 brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to 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 do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
11 Nangmih kan uen uh vanbangla a dingsuek la tlungmu ham, amah la saii ham koi tah namamih kut neh saii uh.
and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;
12 Te daengah ni rhamvoel rhoek taengah a rhoeprhui la na pongpa uh vetih a ngoengaih na khueh uh pawt eh.
that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
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.
But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no 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 died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
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 this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way 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 will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise 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.
then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Te dongah he olka neh thikat la hloep uh thae.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
