1 Thessalonians 2
1 FOR ye yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in to you, that it was not in vain.
Hmaunawnghanaw, nangmouh koe ka tho awh e hah, ayawmyin lah awm hoeh tie namamouh ni na panue awh.
2 But though we had suffered before, and were infamously treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to preach unto you the gospel of God amidst a great conflict.
Nangmouh ni na panue awh e patetlah kaimanaw teh, Filippi khovah rucatnae hoi rektapnae hmaloe ka khang awh hnukkhu, Cathut kângue laihoi kâtuknae kalen kâhmo awh teh, Cathut e kamthang kahawi hah nangmouh hanlah taranhawi laihoi ka pâpho awh.
3 And our exhortation originated not from delusion, or impurity, or from guile;
Yonnae, kamhnawngnae, dumyennae lahoi kaimouh ni nangmanaw hah tha na poe awh hoeh.
4 but as we have been approved of God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.
Kamthang kahawi ka phawt hanelah Cathut ni na ta dawkvah, tami lunghawi sak hane na hoeh, maimae lungthin ka tanouk e Cathut lunghawi sak nahanelah doeh, kaimouh ni ka pâpho awh.
5 For neither at any time used we insinuating language, as ye know, nor a pretext for covetousness; God is witness:
Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, nangmouh ni na panue awh e patetlah nangmouh pasawtpanepnae lawk buet touh boehai ka dei awh hoeh. Hounlounnae lahoi kâsaknae hai awm hoeh tie teh Cathut nihai a kampangkhai.
6 not seeking glory from men, neither from you, nor from others, though we might have been burdensome, as apostles of Christ.
Hot hloilah, Khrih e guncei lah ka o teh, nangmouh hnokari na phu sak thai awh ei, tami ni poe e bawilennae hah nangmouh koe ka tawng awh hoeh, alouknaw koehai ka tawng awh hoeh.
7 But we were gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse cherisheth her own infants.
A manu ni a ca a khetyawt e patetlah nangmouh koe lungnemnae lahoi na khetyawt awh.
8 So, tenderly affected towards you, we could with pleasure have imparted to you not the gospel of God only, but our own lives also, because ye were beloved by us.
Kaimouh ni nangmouh lung na pataw dawkvah, Cathut e kamthang kahawi dueng tho laipalah, kamamae hringnae totouh pasoung hanelah nangmouh koe lungthonae ka tawn awh.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: for night and day working hard, that we might be no burden to any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
Hmaunawnghanaw, patang laihoi kâyawm e hah nangmouh ni na panue awh. Cathut e kamthang kahawi nangmouh koe ka dei awh nah, nangmouh han hnokari lah ka o awh hoeh nahanelah, karum khodai thaw ka tawk awh.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and faultlessly we conducted ourselves among you that believe:
Nangmouh kayuemnaw rahak ka o awh navah, thoungnae hoi lannae dawk toun hoeh e lah ka o awh e hah nangmouh hoi Cathut teh kapanuekkhaikung lah a o.
11 as ye know how we treated every one of you, as a father doth his children, exhorting you, and admonishing, and conjuring you,
Na pa ni canaw a khetyawt e patetlah nangmouh haiyah na khetyawt awh tie na panue awh.
12 that ye should walk worthy of God, as calling you into his kingdom and glory.
A ram hoi a lentoenae thungvah nangmouh na ka kaw e ni, a ngai e patetlah hring awh nahanelah, pout laipalah, kâhroecoenae lahoi lung na pahawi awh teh, tha na poe awh.
13 For this cause do we also give thanks to God unceasingly, because when ye received the word reported by us from God, ye received it not as the word of man, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which worketh also effectually in you that believe.
Nangmouh ni kaimouh koehoi Cathut e kamthang kahawi na dâw awh navah, tami e lawk na dâw awh hoeh, Cathut e lawk roeroe doeh na dâw awh tie hai thoseh, ka yuem tangcoungnaw hringnae dawk, Cathut lawk ni thaw a tawk tie hai thoseh, na dâw awh tie ka thai awh navah, Cathut lungmanae hah pout laipalah ka pholen awh.
14 For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for ye suffered the same things also yourselves from your own countrymen, as they too have of the Jews;
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, hmaunawnghanaw, Khrih Jisuh thung kaawm niteh, Judah ram kaawm, Cathut e kawhmounnaw hah Judahnaw ni a rektap awh e patetlah nangmouh hai namamae taminaw ni rektapnae na khang awh.
15 who both murdered the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are in opposition to all mankind;
Judahnaw ni Jisuh koehoi a kamtawng awh teh profetnaw a thei awh toe. Maimouh hai na rektap awh toe. Cathut e ngainae hai tarawi awh hoeh. Taminaw puenghoi hai a kâtaran awh toe.
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles, that they might be saved, to fill up the measure of their iniquities always: but wrath is coming upon them to the extremity.
Jentelnaw rungngangnae koe pha sak hanelah kaimouh ni pâpho e kamthang lawk hai a ngang awh teh, amamae yonnae teh pou a kuep sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, Cathut lungkhueknae ni ahnimouh lathueng a bosin awh.
17 But we, brethren, bereaved of you for a short moment, in person, not in heart, have more abundantly longed to see your face with great desire.
Hmaunawnghanaw kaimouh teh lungthin hoi tho laipalah, tak hoi dawngdengca kamphei awh navah, nangmae minhmai hmu hanlah, na rabui awh teh, kâhmo hanelah hoe ka panki awh.
18 Therefore we wished to have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan prevented us.
Hatdawkvah, kaimouh teh nangmouh koe tho hanlah ka ngai awh. Kai Pawl teh nangmouh onae koe vai hni touh tho han ka kâcai ei, Setan ni na ngang.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih bout a tho torei teh, amae hmalah kaimae ngaihawinae, lunghawinae hoi, kâoupnae, bawilukhung lah kaawm hane teh, api nahoeh, nangmouh doeh toe.
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
Nangmouh teh kaimae bawilennae hoi lunghawinae katang lah na o awh.
