1 Thessalonika 2
1 Manuca rhoek namamih loh na ming uh, nangmih taengah ka kunnah te a tlongtlai la a om moenih.
For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 Na ming uh vanbangla Philipi ah ka yook uh tih n'neet uh dongah Pathen kah olthangthen te muep thingthuelnah khuiah nangmih taengah thui ham mamih kah Pathen rhangneh ka sayalh uh.
But having suffered many things before, and been shamefully treated (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.
3 Kaimih kah thahphohnah tah tholhhiknah lamkah moenih, rhongingnah lamkah moenih, tuengkhuepnah nen moenih.
For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:
4 Tedae Pathen lamloh a n'soepsoei tih n'tangnah vanbangla olthangthen he ka thui uh van. Hlang rhoek kah kolo ham pawt tih mamih kah thinko aka soepsoei Pathen kah kolo la ka thuiuh.
But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.
5 Palawhnah olka neh ka om uh noek moenih. Na ming uh vanbangla mueituengnah mailai neh halhkanah a om pawt khaw, Pathen tah laipai la om coeng.
For neither have we used, at any time, the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness:
6 Hlang lamkah thangpomnah ka toem uh moenih. Nangmih lamkah moenih, hlang tloe lamkah bal moenih.
Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.
7 Khrih kah caeltueih vanbangla hnorhih neh kan nan uh thai. Tedae a coeng thai atah cacun loh a ca rhoek a yuhyam bangla nangmih lakli ah cahmang la ka om uh.
Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:
8 Nangmih kah lungloeinah van bangla nangmih taengah Pathen kah olthangthen bueng pawt tih kaimih kah thintlo la na om uh coeng dongah hinglu khaw amah la doedan ham ka lungtlun uh.
So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us.
9 Manuca rhoek, kaimih kah thakthaenah neh patangnah te poek uh. Nangmih taengah Pathen kah olthangthen ka hoe uh vaengah nangmih khat khaw thinrhih sak pawt ham khoyin khothaih bi ka saii uh.
For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.
10 Nangmih neh Pathen tah laipai la na omuh. A cimcaih neh a dueng vanbangla aka tangnah nangmih taengah khaw cuemthuek lam ni ka om uh.
You are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and without blame, we have been to you that have believed:
11 Na ming uh van te ta. Nangmih khat rhip te pa pakhat loh a ca rhoek a hloep bangla kan hloepuh.
As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you, (as a father doth his children, )
12 Nangmih te a ram neh thangpomnah khuila aka khue Pathen kah a tingtawk la na caeh uh ham nangmih te kan suem uh tih ka laipai uh.
We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 He dongah khaw Pathen te phat ka uem uh bal. Kaimih lamkah olthang na doe uh te Pathen kah olka ni, hlang kah olka moenih. Tedae Pathen kah Ol la rhep a om dongah na doe uh. Te tah aka tangnah nangmih khuiah khaw tueng.
Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.
14 Manuca rhoek nangmih tah Judea ah aka om tih Khrih Jesuh ah Pathen hlangboel rhoek kah mueiloh la na om uh. Nangmih khaw amah pilnam lamloh amih Judah taengkah bangla amah la na patang uh.
For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews,
15 Boeipa Jesuh neh tonghma rhoek te khaw a ngawn uh. Mamih khaw n'hnaemtaek uh. Pathen khaw a kolo uh pawh. Hlang boeih te khaw a kingkalh uh.
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men;
16 Amamih kah tholh te a tomthap taitu vanbangla namtom rhoek te daem saeh tila thui ham khaw kaimih te n'haek uh. Tedae amih te kosi loh a bawt duela a tlak thil coeng.
Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.
17 Manuca rhoek aw kaimih he a tue khohnin kolkalh ham nangmih mikhmuh lamkah n'tuiphih uh coeng dae thinko ah m'phih uh moenih. Nangmih maelhmai hmuh ham bahoeng hoehhamnah neh ka haam uh khungdaeng coeng.
But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Te dongah nangmih taengah pawk ham ka ngaih uh. Kai Paul rhoerhoe vai hnavoei khaw ka cai dae Satan loh kaimih n'tomta.
For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.
19 Mamih kah ngaiuepnah neh omngaihnah neh hoemdamnah rhuisam tah unim? Jesuh amah a lonah dongah mamih Boeipa hmaiah nangmih van pawt nim?
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 Nangmih tah kaimih kah thangpomnah neh omngaihnah la na om uh.
For you are our glory and joy.
