1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
Pawluh, Tilah ja Timoti naw, Thesalonikah mlüha veki Pa Pamhnam ja Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa sakhyangea veia, Bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak nami khana pha law se.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;
Nangmi phäh alä se Pamhnam je na lü kami ktaiyü naküt üng jenak ka ning jah mtheh petki.
3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
Ihlawka nami jumnak nami xünsak üng ngdangki, nami mhläkphyanak naw ihlawka ning jah khüikhawmsaki, ja mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw üng ihlawka nami äpeinak ngkhängki ti cun ka ning jah sümki.
4 knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,
Kami be ja kami cinae aw, Pamhnam naw ning jah mhläkphya na lü a khyang vaia a ning jah xü päng ti cun kami ksingki.
5 how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.
Thangkdaw nami veia kami sang law kcük üng, khyü nglung däk am ni lü Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ja johit am, käna ngkhängceknak üng kümbekia cangnak am kami lawpüiki. Nami hlawnga kami ve üng, nangmia dawnak vaia kami veki ti cun nami ksingki.
6 And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;
Nami khamei a dämda üngpi, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim üngkhyüh lawkia jekyainaka ngthu yah lü keimi ja Bawipa üng nami ngcukngkiki.
7 so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Akaijah hne ja Maketawnih hne üng jumeikiea phäh ami ngcukngkihnak vaia nami kyaki.
8 For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.
Bawipaa ngthu cun nangmi üngka naw ngthang hüki, Maketawnih hne ja Akaijah hne däka am ni lü, hnün naküt üng Pamhnam nami jumeinak cun ngthang hüki. Acunüng, keimia pyen vai i pi am hlü.
9 For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
Nami veia kami law üng ihawkba nami jah dokham, xüngseikia Pamhnam kcanga khut bi khaia,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
thihnak üngka naw tho be lü Pamhnama mlung sonak üngka naw jah küikyankia a Capa Jesuh — khankhaw üngka naw a Capaa law be vai mtätei lü juktuh nghlat ta lü nami ve cun acuna khyang he naw pyen ve u.
