1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
Paul, Sila ingkaw Timote, Pa Khawsa ingkaw Jesu Khrih awh ak awm Thesalonika khaw awhkaw thlangboelkhqi venawh; Am qeenaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak nangmih a venawh awm seh.
2 We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;
Nangmih boeih aham ka mik cykcahnaak awh Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa unyng.
3 Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
Cangnaak ak caming bibinaak, lungnaak ing tha na ynaak ningnih Bawipa Jesu Khrih awh ngaih-unaak ak caming yh thainaak nami taak naak awh ningnih Pa Khawsa haiawh boet kaana ni sim khqi poepa nyng.
4 Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;
Khawsa ing a lungnaak koeinaakhqi, Khawsa ing nangmih nik tyk khqi hy tice sim unyng.
5 Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.
Ikawtih, nangmih a venawh awithang leek ce awi sawhqat ing am law hy, cehlai thaawmnaak, Ciim Myihla ing ak dungna simnaak ing ni a law. Nangmih a venawh ikawp na kami awm tice ni sim uhyk ti.
6 And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;
Cawh nangmih taw kaimih ing Bawipa a khawboe ak oet na awm uhyk ti, kyinaak khawzah hu hlai uhyk ti, Ciim Myihla ing ani peek zeelnaak ing awithang ce do uhyk ti.
7 So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.
Cedawngawh nangmih taw Makedonia ingkaw Akhaia qam pum awh ak awm, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih a toek kawina awm uhyk ti.
8 For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.
Nangmih a ven awhkawng Bawipa ak awithang ce Makedonia ingkaw Akhaia qam doeng awh am thang hy - nangmih ak cangnaak ce awm thlang boeih ing sim uhy. Cedawngawh ikaw kqawn aham awm am ngoe voel hawh hy, kaimih ikawpna nami do nami dan uh tice a mimah ing kqawn hawh uhy.
9 For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,
Myihlip bawknaak ce qoeng unawh ak hqing ingkaw ak thym Khawsa bibi ham ingkaw,
10 Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.
amah ing thihnaak awhkawng am thawh - ak law hly kawi kawsonaak awhkawng ningnih anik loet sakkung, khan nakawng ak law hly kawi amah a Capa Jesu qeh uhyk ti tice kqawn law uhy.
