1 Thessalonians 2
1 Brothers and sisters, you yourselves know what our visit meant to you, and that it wasn't wasted!
Nawkamyanawk, nangcae khaeah kang zoh o haih hae, azom na ai ni, tiah na panoek o:
2 You'll recall that after having had much trouble and bad treatment at Philippi, with the help of God we still dared to share God's good news with you, despite the opposition we faced.
na panoek o baktih toengah, kaicae loe Filipi ah ang pacaekthlaek o moe, azat kaom ah ang sak o, toe paroeai angaekhaih hoiah nangcae khaeah kahoih tamthanglok to Sithaw ah misahoihaih hoiah ka thuih o thaih.
3 For what we speak about isn't deceptive, or worthless, or fraudulent.
Kaicae loe sakpazaehaih, ciimcai ai ah toksakhaih hoi alinghaih hoiah nangcae to tha kang paek o ai:
4 On the contrary, we have God's approval for what we say—he's entrusted us with sharing the good news. We don't set out to please people, but God. He's the one who judges our motives.
tamthanglok hoih pakuem hanah oepthok kami ah Sithaw mah tapom baktih toengah, kami koehhaih baktih na ai ah, Sithaw koehhaih baktiah ni ka thuih o.
5 As you know, we've never used flattering words. Nor were we covering up some greedy, selfish attitude—as God is our witness!
Na panoek o baktih toengah, kaicae loe amoekhaih lok ka thui o ai, kamthlai koeh hmoekhaih lok doeh ka thui o vai ai, tito Sithaw mah panoek:
6 We weren't trying to win anybody's praise—not from you, nor anyone else. We could have become a “burden” to you as messengers of Christ,
Kri mah patoeh ih kami ah ka oh o pongah, thoemto nangcae hanah loe hmuenzit ah doeh ka oh o thaih, toe kami pakoehhaih to ka pakrong o ai, nangcae mah pakoehhaih doeh ka pakrong o ai, kalah kaminawk mah pakoehhaih doeh ka pkrong o ai.
7 but instead we acted kindly among you, like a mother caring for her own children.
Amno mah a caanawk pacah baktih toengah, nangcae salakah ka oh o naah, poeknaemhaih hoiah ni kho ka sak o:
8 We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not just God's good news, but also our very own selves, because you had become so dear to us.
kang palung o parai pongah, Sithaw ih tamthanglok hoih thuih han ih khue na ai ah, nangcae palung kang nat o haih pongah, hinghaih paek han khoek to mataeng doeh ka koeh o.
9 Don't you remember, brothers and sisters, all our hard work— working day and night so we wouldn't be a burden to any of you as we shared God's good news with you?
Nang panoek o baktih toengah, nawkamyanawk, kaicae loe angpho qawthaih hoiah ni tok ka sak o: nangcae raihaih paek han ai ah aqum athun tok ka sak o moe, nangcae khaeah kahoih Sithaw tamthanglok to kang thuih o.
10 You yourselves can testify as to how we acted, and God can too—how we treated you believers with a holy attitude, fairly and blamelessly.
Nang panoek o baktih toengah, nangcae tangcaanawk khaeah loe, coek koi kaom ai ciimhaih hoi toenghaih hoiah ni kho ka sak o, tito Sithaw mah doeh panoek:
11 You know how we cared for every one of you like a father caring for his own children. We encouraged you, comforted you, and shared with you our experience
ampa mah a caanawk khaeah sak ih baktih toengah, nangcae boih khaeah kawbangmaw thapaekhaih hoi monghaih lok kang thuih o, tito na panoek o,
12 so that you could live as God would want you to live—the God who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
Siangpahrang ah a uk ih prae hoi lensawkhaih thungah nangcae kawkkung, Sithaw mikcuk naakrak ah kho na sak o thai hanah lok kang thuih o.
13 Another thing: we're always thanking God that when you heard and accepted the word of God, you didn't treat it as some human words, but what it truly is, the word of God. This is what is at work in those of you who trust in him.
Kaicae khae hoi Sithaw lok na thaih o naah, kaminawk ih lok baktiah na talawk o ai, loktang, Sithaw ih lok baktiah ni na talawk o, nangcae tangcaanawk salakah tok ka sak o pongah, Sithaw khaeah boeng ai ah anghoehaih lawk ka thuih o.
14 The experience you brothers and sisters have had imitates that of God's churches that belong to Christ Jesus in Judaea. Just like your fellow Jewish Christians you suffered as they did at the hands of the Jewish leaders
Nawkamyanawk, nangcae loe Judah prae ah Kri Jesu to talawk moe, Sithaw hnukbang kricaabunawk mah, Judah kaminawk khae hoi pacaekthlaekhaih tongh o baktih toengah, nangcae doeh nangmacae kaminawk khae hoi ih pacaekthlaekhaih to na tongh o toeng:
15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and chased us out. They don't please God and they are hostile to everyone,
Judahnawk mah Angraeng Jesu Kri hoi angmacae ih tahmaanawk to hum o, kaicae doeh ang pacaekthlaek o; nihcae mah Sithaw palung anghoe o sak thai ai, nihcae loe kami boih ih misa ah oh o:
16 trying to prevent us from speaking to the other nations to prevent them from being saved. They're always sinning to the maximum extent, but for them full judgment has arrived!
Gentelnawk mah pahlonghaih hnu o moeng tih, tiah a poek o pongah nihcae khaeah kahoih tamthanglok taphong hanah kaicae to ang pakaa o, to tiah angmacae zaehaih to koi o sak: to pongah hnukkhuem ah Sithaw palungphuihaih to nihcae nuiah krah tih.
17 Brothers and sisters, since we felt as if we'd experienced a family separation because we hadn't seen you for a while (separated physically though not in spirit), we tried even harder to come and see you again face to face because that's what we wanted to do.
Toe nawkamyanawk, kaicae loe palung hoi na ai, taksa ah nangcae hoi nawnetta thung angthla ah ka oh o, nangcae kang poek o parai pongah, hnuk han kang koeh o parai boeh.
18 We really wanted to come and visit you, and I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan stopped us.
To pongah nangcae khae angzoh han ka koeh o, kai, Pawl doeh nangcae khae angzoh pacoengah, angzoh let han ka koeh vop, toe Setan mah kaicae to pakaa ving.
19 For what gives us hope, what makes us happy, what we are really proud of as we stand before our Lord Jesus Christ when he comes back—is having you there too!
Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri anghum naah angmah hmaa ah, nangcae ai ah loe mi maw ka oep o ih anghoehaih hoi anghoehaih sui lumuek ah kaom?
20 You are our pride and joy!
Nangcae loe kaicae lensawkhaih hoi anghoehaih ah na oh o.
