1 Thessalonika 1

1 Paul, Silvanas neh Timothyloh a pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih ah Tesalonika kah hlangboel te kan yaak sak. Nangmih taengah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah om saeh.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy—unto the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, —favour unto you, and peace!

2 Nangmih boeih kongah Pathen te ka uem uh taitu. Kaimih kah thangthuinah dongah poekkoepnah ka saii uh.

We are giving thanks unto God continually, concerning you all, making, mention, in our prayers,

3 Nangmih kah tangnah bibi neh lungnah thakthaenah, a pa Pathen hmaiah Jesuh Khrih mamih Boeipa kah ngaiuepnah dongah uehnah te phat ka poek uh.

Unceasingly, remembering—your work of faith and labour of love and endurance of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

4 Pathen kaha lungnah manucarhoek nangmih kah tueknah te ming uh.

Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election, —

5 Kaimih kah olthangthen tah nangmih taengah olka bueng nen pawt tih thaomnah nen khaw Mueihla Cim nen khaw, ngaikhueknah soep nen khaw ha pawk. Na ming uh vanbangla nangmih khuiah ka om te khaw nangmih ham ni.

How that, our glad-message, came not unto you, in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, —even as ye know what manner of men we became unto you, for your sake;

6 Nangmih khaw Boeipa neh kaimih mueiloh la na om uh dongah phacip phabaemte yet khuiah olthang te omngaihnah Mueihla Cim nehna doe uh.

And, ye, became, imitators of us, and of the Lord, giving welcome unto the word, in much tribulation, with joy of Holy Spirit;

7 Te dongah Makedonia neh Akhaia kah aka tangnahrhoek boeih ham mueimae la na om uh.

So that ye became an ensample unto all who were coming to the faith, in Macedonia and in Achaia:

8 Boeipa kah olka tah nangmih lamloh ha humtih Makedonia neh Akhaia ah bueng pawt tih Pathen na tangnah te hmuen takuem la cet coeng. Te dongah kaimih kah thui ham pakhat khaw a ngoe moenih.

From you, in fact, hath sounded forth the word of the Lord—not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but, in every place, your faith which is toward God, hath gone forth, so that, no need, have we to be saying anything;

9 Amih loh Kaimih kawng ah nangmih taengah kunnah metlaa om khaw, mueirhol lamloh aka hing oltak Pathen kah salbi ham Pathen taengah metlana mael uh khaw,

For, they themselves, concerning us, do tell—what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from the idols—to be serving a living and true God,

10 vaan lamkah a capa rhingoel te khaw, anihte duek khui lamloha thoh te khaw, aka thoeng ham kosi lamloh mamih aka hlawt Jesuh kawng te khaw ha puen uh coeng.

And awaiting his Son out of the heavens—whom he raised from among the dead, —Jesus: Who is to rescue us out of the anger that is coming.
