< 1 Thessalonians 3 >
1 Therefore when we could not stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
Azoinataka chu, tuong zoi khâi mak mea. Masikin Athens khuoa ke thenin lei om rangin kin masata
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,
Timothy kin lâibungpa, Khrista Thurchi Sa misîrna tienga keini leh Pathien sintho ngâipu hi kin hongtîr ani. Kin hongtîrna abi chu nangni min râta, nin taksônna tienga nangni sanna,
3 that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
masikin nan lâia tutên hah nuomlonangei sika nûkkîr nin tho loina rangin ani. Ma anga nuomlonangei hah ei tuong ranga Pathien lungdo ani sa ti khom nangni lelên nin riet ani.
4 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
Nin kôm kin om lâihan, nunuomloa ei om rang nangni kin lei ril sai ania; male nin lei riet minthâr anghan ahongtung tatak ani.
5 For this cause I also, when I could not stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
Maha mapêna chu tuong zoi khâi mu unga, masika han Timothy ko hongtîr ani. Adikin, Soitan'n nangni a huong mathâk duoia male kin sinsôlna asênaboi achang loina rangin, masikin nin taksônna chungroi ha ke lei riet theina rangin ama ko hongtîr ani!
6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.
Atûn chu Timothy a juong kîrnôk zoia, male nin taksônna le nin lungkhamna thurchi râisân omtak mi juong chôi pe zoi. Nangni mu rang kin nuom angin nangni khom mi mu rang nin nuoma mi nin mindon tit ngâi ti khom mi ril sa.
7 For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
Masikin, kin lâibungngei le sarnungei, kin intakna le dûktongna murdia khom nin thurchi sikin mohôkin kin oma. Mi mohôk chu nan taksônna hah ania,
8 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
asikchu atûn nin ringna han Pumapa leh inzomin nin indingdet ngânin chu kin ring tatak zoi ani.
9 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
Atûn chu nangni rangin ei Pathien kôm râisânchong kin misîr thei zoi. Nangni sikin ei Pathien makunga râisânna kin dôn sika hin a kôm râisânchong kin misîr ani.
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Nin mêl kin mua nin taksônna tienga nin insamna nangni kin pêkbang theina rangin sûn jânin mulungrîl murdi'n kin ngên ngâi ani.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
Ei Pathien le Pa amananâk male ei Pumapa Jisua khomin nin kôm kin misangin hong theina rang lampui mi sinsiem pe rese!
12 May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
Nangni inkhat le inkhat nin inlungkhamna le mi murdi nin lungkhamna hah Pumapa'n nangni min pung pe u-uol senla, nangni rangin kin lungkhamna le min-ang rese.
13 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
Ma angdênin nin mulungrîlngei nangni min rât pe a ta, male ei Pumapa Jisua ama ta ngei murdi leh a juong tika, ei Pathien le Pa makunga achukphar le ânthiengin inlang thei nin tih.
