1 Thessalonians 2
1 You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.
Banghangziam cile suapui te awng, note kung ah kong tum na uh sia a luithathong hi ngawl hi, ci note mama in na he uh hi:
2 As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God.
Ahihang note i na heak uh bangma in, Philippi ah maizumhuai tak in hong koi uh a, ka thuak zawk uh ciang zong, note kung ah Pathian lungdamna thupha sia ki nial na tampi taw hil tu in Pathian sung ah hangsanna ka nei uh hi.
3 For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.
Banghangziam cile kote i hanthotna sia khial na, thiantho ngawl na, le theamna hi ngawl hi:
4 Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.
Ahihang lungdamna thupha keamcing tu in Pathian in hong sawl bang in; mihing lungkimsak tu bang hi ngawl in, kote i thinsung a en Pathian lungkimsak te bang in ka pau uh hi.
5 As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!
Banghangziam cile na heaksa uh bangma in, banghun po ahizong sialpokna kammal te ka zang ngei bua uh hi, duhopna phualseal kammal te zong ka zang bua uh hi; Pathian sia ka tetti uh a hihi:
6 Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
Christ i sawltak te ka hi uh bangma in, vanngit hong suan thei hi ka le ung, note tung pan ahizong, ngualdang tung pan ahizong, mihing tung pan in minthanna ka zong bua uh hi.
7 On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
Ahihang nau keam nu in nauno te a khoi bang in, kote zong note sung ah thin neamtak in kong om uh hi:
8 We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
Note kong it mama uh hu in, note tung ah Pathian lungdamna thupha bek hi ngawl in, ka nuntakna zong kong pia nuam uh hi, banghangziam cile note sia kong it mamate na hi uh hi.
9 Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
Banghangziam cile, suapui te awng, ka nasep uh le ka thuak uh haksatna te, na phawk tawntung uh hi: banghangziam cile note kung ah vanngit ka hi thei ngawl natu in sun le zan in na ka seam uh a, Pathian lungdamna thupha note kong hil uh hi.
10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
No thu um mite sung ah thiangtho tak, thutang tak le pauban na om ngawl in ka nungta uh hi, ci note le Pathian sia ka tetti te na hi uh hi:
11 For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—
Pa in a tate tung ah a vawt bang in, kote in note sia bangbang in hong hantawn in, hong heneam khu ziam, taciang note tung ah kong vaitha uh hi, ci na he uh hi,
12 encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
Tabang in note sia Ama kumpingam le minthanna sung ah hongsam Pathian taw a kilawm in na nuntak tu uh a hihi.
13 And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God—the word which is now at work in you who believe.
Hi thu hang zong Pathian sia tatsat ngawl in lungdam ka ko uh hi, banghangziam cile kote tung pan in na zak uh Pathian thu na san uh lai in, mihing kammal bang in na sang bua uh hi, ahihang thuman bang in na sang uh hi, tua Pathian thu in a um note sung ah phattuamna tampi taw na seam hi.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,
Banghangziam cile, suapui te awng, note Christ Jesus sung ah Judah ngam a om Pathian pawlpi a zui te na suak uh hi: banghangziam cile amate in Judah mite tung ah a thuak uh bang in, note zong na ngam mite tung pan na thuak uh hi:
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,
Judah te in Topa Jesus le amate kamsang te that uh hi, taciang kote hong vawtsia uh a; Pathian lungkimsak ngawl uh hi, taciang mi theampo taw ki langpan uh hi:
16 hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.
Gentile te ngupna a nga thei natu in ka thuhil natu hong khak hi, taciang mawna taw kidim tawntung uh hi: banghangziam cile Pathian thin-ukna sia a khakbel in amate tung ah hong theng hi.
17 Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
Ahihang suapui te awng, thinsung bek hi ngawl in, cilesa lam taw tawmvei sung i ki khen a, note maitang mu nop na lianpi taw nasiatak in ka hanciam uh hi.
18 For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.
Tua ahikom note kung ah kong pai nuam uh a, keima Paul vateak zong, khatvei kongpai kik nop hi napi; Satan in hong khak hi.
19 After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
Banghangziam cile kote i lametna, lungdamna le lungdamna kham lukhu sia bang ziam? I Topa Jesus Christ hongpai ciang in Ama mai ah note hi ngawl nu ziam?
20 You are indeed our glory and our joy.
Banghangziam cile note sia ka minthanna le lungdamna na hi uh hi.
