1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.
Paul, Silvanas neh Timothyloh a pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih ah Tesalonika kah hlangboel te kan yaak sak. Nangmih taengah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah om saeh.
2 We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers
Nangmih boeih kongah Pathen te ka uem uh taitu. Kaimih kah thangthuinah dongah poekkoepnah ka saii uh.
3 and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nangmih kah tangnah bibi neh lungnah thakthaenah, a pa Pathen hmaiah Jesuh Khrih mamih Boeipa kah ngaiuepnah dongah uehnah te phat ka poek uh.
4 Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,
Pathen kaha lungnah manucarhoek nangmih kah tueknah te ming uh.
5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.
Kaimih kah olthangthen tah nangmih taengah olka bueng nen pawt tih thaomnah nen khaw Mueihla Cim nen khaw, ngaikhueknah soep nen khaw ha pawk. Na ming uh vanbangla nangmih khuiah ka om te khaw nangmih ham ni.
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.
Nangmih khaw Boeipa neh kaimih mueiloh la na om uh dongah phacip phabaemte yet khuiah olthang te omngaihnah Mueihla Cim nehna doe uh.
7 As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
Te dongah Makedonia neh Akhaia kah aka tangnahrhoek boeih ham mueimae la na om uh.
8 For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.
Boeipa kah olka tah nangmih lamloh ha humtih Makedonia neh Akhaia ah bueng pawt tih Pathen na tangnah te hmuen takuem la cet coeng. Te dongah kaimih kah thui ham pakhat khaw a ngoe moenih.
9 For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
Amih loh Kaimih kawng ah nangmih taengah kunnah metlaa om khaw, mueirhol lamloh aka hing oltak Pathen kah salbi ham Pathen taengah metlana mael uh khaw,
10 and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.
vaan lamkah a capa rhingoel te khaw, anihte duek khui lamloha thoh te khaw, aka thoeng ham kosi lamloh mamih aka hlawt Jesuh kawng te khaw ha puen uh coeng.
