1 Thessalonika 1

1 Paul, Silvanas neh Timothy loh 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 Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

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

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at 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.

remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

4 Pathen kah a lungnah manuca rhoek 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.

For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:

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

and ye became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,

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

so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:

8 Boeipa kah olka tah nangmih lamloh ha hum tih 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.

for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;

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

for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

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

and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
