< 1 Thessalonians 1 >
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul, Silas le Timothy te in, Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ sung a om Thessalonica pawlpi te tung ah: i Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ tung pan in thuthiamna le thinnopna note tung ah om tahen.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
Note theampo atu in Pathian tung ah tatsat ngawl in lungdam ka ko uh hi, ka thunget na uh sung ah hong pawk tawntung khu hi;
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
I Pa Pathian mai ah na upna uh taw na sep na uh, itna taw in na sep uh te le i Topa Jesus Christ sung ah na lametna uh taw na thuakzawkna uh te kong phawk tawntung uh hi;
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
Kong it suapui te awng, Pathian teal sa te na hi uh hi, ci ka he uh hi.
5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
Banghangziam cile i lungdamna thupha sia note tung ah kam bek in hong theng ngawl hi, ahihang Tha Thiangtho sung ah vangletna le thinmuanna tampi taw hong theng hi; note hang in note sung ah kote bangbang mihing khu ziam, ci na he uh hi.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Taciang note in Pathian thu sia haksatna tampi le Tha Thiangtho kung pan hongpai lungdamna taw sang zo na hi uhkom in, kote le Topa nungzui te na suak zo uh hi:
7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Tua ahikom Macedonia le Achaia a om thu um theampo tung ah ette tak te na hi tavun.
8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.
Bangbangziam cile note tung pan Topa thu hong thawn sia Macedonia le Achaia bek hi ngawl in, Pathian na upna uh sia mun tatuam ah ki zel kakoai hi; tua ahikom thudang bangma ka son tuan tu om ngawl hi.
9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
Banghangziam cile note kung ah bangbang in hong tum khu ziam, ci thu ahizong, a nungta le a thuman Pathian na seam tu in milim te kung pan in Pathian kung ah bangbang in kihei nu ziam, ci thu ahizong;
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Taciang hongpai pheang tu Pathian thin-ukna pan in hong suaktasak le thina pan a thawkiksak a Tapa Jesus vantung pan hongpai tu na ngak na thu uh ahizong, amate in hong tangko zo uh hi.
