1 Thessalonika 1

1 Paul, Sila ingkaw Timote, Pa Khawsa ingkaw Jesu Khrih awh ak awm Thesalonika khaw awhkaw thlangboelkhqi venawh; Am qeenaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak nangmih a venawh awm seh.

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 aham ka mik cykcahnaak awh Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa unyng.

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

3 Cangnaak ak caming bibinaak, lungnaak ing tha na ynaak ningnih Bawipa Jesu Khrih awh ngaih-unaak ak caming yh thainaak nami taak naak awh ningnih Pa Khawsa haiawh boet kaana ni sim khqi poepa nyng.

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 Khawsa ing a lungnaak koeinaakhqi, Khawsa ing nangmih nik tyk khqi hy tice sim unyng.

Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election, —

5 Ikawtih, nangmih a venawh awithang leek ce awi sawhqat ing am law hy, cehlai thaawmnaak, Ciim Myihla ing ak dungna simnaak ing ni a law. Nangmih a venawh ikawp na kami awm tice ni sim uhyk ti.

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 Cawh nangmih taw kaimih ing Bawipa a khawboe ak oet na awm uhyk ti, kyinaak khawzah hu hlai uhyk ti, Ciim Myihla ing ani peek zeelnaak ing awithang ce do uhyk ti.

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

7 Cedawngawh nangmih taw Makedonia ingkaw Akhaia qam pum awh ak awm, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih a toek kawina awm uhyk ti.

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

8 Nangmih a ven awhkawng Bawipa ak awithang ce Makedonia ingkaw Akhaia qam doeng awh am thang hy - nangmih ak cangnaak ce awm thlang boeih ing sim uhy. Cedawngawh ikaw kqawn aham awm am ngoe voel hawh hy, kaimih ikawpna nami do nami dan uh tice a mimah ing kqawn hawh uhy.

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 Myihlip bawknaak ce qoeng unawh ak hqing ingkaw ak thym Khawsa bibi ham ingkaw,

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 amah ing thihnaak awhkawng am thawh - ak law hly kawi kawsonaak awhkawng ningnih anik loet sakkung, khan nakawng ak law hly kawi amah a Capa Jesu qeh uhyk ti tice kqawn law uhy.

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.
