1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you was not in vain,
Manuca rhoek namamih loh na ming uh, nangmih taengah ka kunnah te a tlongtlai la a om moenih.
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
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.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Kaimih kah thahphohnah tah tholhhiknah lamkah moenih, rhongingnah lamkah moenih, tuengkhuepnah nen moenih.
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
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.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
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.
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Hlang lamkah thangpomnah ka toem uh moenih. Nangmih lamkah moenih, hlang tloe lamkah bal moenih.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
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.
8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
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.
9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
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.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
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.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Na ming uh van te ta. Nangmih khat rhip te pa pakhat loh a ca rhoek a hloep bangla kan hloepuh.
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
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.
13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
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.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews
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.
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and do not please God, and are contrary to all men,
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.
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
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.
17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
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.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Te dongah nangmih taengah pawk ham ka ngaih uh. Kai Paul rhoerhoe vai hnavoei khaw ka cai dae Satan loh kaimih n'tomta.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is not it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Mamih kah ngaiuepnah neh omngaihnah neh hoemdamnah rhuisam tah unim? Jesuh amah a lonah dongah mamih Boeipa hmaiah nangmih van pawt nim?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Nangmih tah kaimih kah thangpomnah neh omngaihnah la na om uh.
