1 Thesalon 5
1 Hmaunawnghanaw hninthanaw hoi tuengnaw hah thut vaiteh na patawn hanelah panki hoeh toe.
However, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write to you:
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tamru teh karum vah a tho e patetlah Bawipa e hnin teh a tho van han tie hah nangmouh ni kamcengcalah na panue awh.
for yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
3 Lungmawngnae ao, rucatnae ka hlout toe ati awh lahun nah camo ka vawn e napui ni camo a khe nah patawnae a khang e patetlah pouk laipalah rawknae phat vaiteh, khoeroe hlout awh mahoeh.
When they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 Hatei hmaunawnghanaw hote hnin teh tamru patetlah nangmouh koe a tho nahanlah nangmouh teh khohmo thung na awm awh hoeh.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should come upon you like a thief.
5 Nangmouh pueng teh angnae hoi khodai e ca lah na o awh. Khohmo ca lah na awm awh hoeh.
You are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not sons of night, nor of darkness.
6 Hatdawkvah alouknaw ni a i awh e patetlah maimouh teh ip laipalah, kâhruetcuet laihoi ring awh sei.
Therefore, let us not sleep, even as others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh ka ip e naw teh khohmo vah a i awh, kaparuinaw hai tangmin vah a parui awh.
For they who sleep, sleep in the night; and they who get drunk, get drunk in the night.
8 Khodai ca lah kaawm e maimouh teh kâhruetcuet awh sei. Yuemnae hoi lungpatawnae lah kaawm e saiphei, rungngangnae ngaihawinae sum luhuem kâmahrawk awh sei.
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 A lungkhueknae khang sak hanelah Cathut ni maimouh na rawi e nahoeh, Bawipa Jisuh Khrih lahoi rungngangnae coe sak hanelah doeh na rawi awh.
For God has appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation, through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we may live together, with him.
10 Maimouh teh kâhlaw awh nakunghai, i awh nakunghai Bawipa hoi cungtalah hring awh nahanelah, maimouh hanelah a due toe.
Wherefore, comfort one another, and edify each other, even as also you do.
11 Hatdawkvah, nangmouh ni atu hai na sak awh e patetlah buet touh hoi buet touh thakâpoe laihoi kâtawmdawm awh sei.
Wherefore, comfort one another, and edify each other, even as also you do.
12 Hothloilah, nangmouh thung dawk vah, a thaw ka tawk e, Bawipa kâ lahoi ka uk e, hroecoe ka poe e tami hah panuek awh nateh,
Now, we beseech you, brethren, to acknowledge them who labor among you, and who preside over you in the Lord, and instruct you;
13 ahnimouh ni a tawk awh e dawkvah lungpatawnae hoi na barilawa awh nahan, buet touh hoi buet touh kâpocalah awm awh.
and to esteem them very highly in love for their works' sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 Hmaunawnghanaw, kamsoumhoehlah kaawm e naw hah kâhruetcuetnae poe awh. A lung kathoengnaw thapoe awh. A thakayounnaw ka bawm awh. Tami pueng koe na lungsaw sak awh.
Moreover, we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, be of a long-suffering disposition toward all.
15 Buet touh hoi buet touh yon kâpathung hoeh nahan kâhruetcuet awh nateh, namamouh koehai thoseh, ayânaw koehai thoseh, panki laihoi hnokahawi pou sak awh.
Take care that no one return evil for evil to any one, but always pursue what is good, both toward one another and toward all.
16 Pout laipalah konawm awh.
Rejoice always.
17 Pout laipalah ratoum awh.
Pray without ceasing.
18 Bangpueng dawk lunghawilawk dei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Khrih Jisuh thung nangmouh ni hottelah na sak awh nahanelah Cathut ni na ngaikhai awh.
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God, by Christ Jesus, concerning you.
19 Kathoung Muitha e a hue roum sak awh hanh.
Quench not the Spirit.
20 Profet lawk hah noutna laipalah awm hanh.
Despise not prophesying.
21 Hno puengpa hah tanouk awh nateh hnokahawi e teh kacaklah kuen awh.
Prove all things. Hold fast that which is good.
22 Kahawi hoeh e kaawm e pueng hah roun awh.
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 Roumnae Cathut ama ni nangmouh abuemlah pin na thoungsak lawiseh. Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih a tho toteh, nangmae tak, lungthin, muitha abuemlah tounhoehe lah na o awh nahan na kabawm lawiseh.
And may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your whole person, the spirit, and the soul, and the body, be preserved unblamable, till the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Nangmouh na kakawkung teh yuemkamcu lah ao dawkvah hottelah a sak han doeh.
Faithful is he who has called you; who also will do it.
25 Hmaunawnghanaw kaimouh han lah na ratoum pouh awh.
Brethren, pray for us.
26 hmaunawnghanaw pueng hah kathounge kâpaconae lahoi kâdawn awh.
Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.
27 Hete ca heh hmaunawngha tami kathoungnaw abuemlah koe na touk pouh awh nahanelah Bawipa Min lahoi lawk na thui awh.
I solemnly charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
28 Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae teh nangmouh pueng koe awm lawiseh. Amen.
The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
