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.
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 in our prayers;
Nangmi phäh alä se Pamhnam je na lü kami ktaiyü naküt üng jenak ka ning jah mtheh petki.
3 incessantly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God even our 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 because our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as you know what sort we were among you for your sakes.
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 you became imitators of us, and the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with the joy of the Holy Ghost;
Nami khamei a dämda üngpi, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim üngkhyüh lawkia jekyainaka ngthu yah lü keimi ja Bawipa üng nami ngcukngkiki.
7 so that you are an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Akaijah hne ja Maketawnih hne üng jumeikiea phäh ami ngcukngkihnak vaia nami kyaki.
8 For from you the word of the Lord echoed out, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say any thing:
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 proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living God,
Nami veia kami law üng ihawkba nami jah dokham, xüngseikia Pamhnam kcanga khut bi khaia,
10 and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering 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.
