1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father and [in] the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, Silvanas neh Timothyloh a pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih ah Tesalonika kah hlangboel te kan yaak sak. Nangmih taengah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah om saeh.

2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Nangmih boeih kongah Pathen te ka uem uh taitu. Kaimih kah thangthuinah dongah poekkoepnah ka saii uh.

3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

Nangmih kah tangnah bibi neh lungnah thakthaenah, a pa Pathen hmaiah Jesuh Khrih mamih Boeipa kah ngaiuepnah dongah uehnah te phat ka poek uh.

4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

Pathen kaha lungnah manucarhoek nangmih kah tueknah te ming uh.

5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

Kaimih kah olthangthen tah nangmih taengah olka bueng nen pawt tih thaomnah nen khaw Mueihla Cim nen khaw, ngaikhueknah soep nen khaw ha pawk. Na ming uh vanbangla nangmih khuiah ka om te khaw nangmih ham ni.

6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Nangmih khaw Boeipa neh kaimih mueiloh la na om uh dongah phacip phabaemte yet khuiah olthang te omngaihnah Mueihla Cim nehna doe uh.

7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

Te dongah Makedonia neh Akhaia kah aka tangnahrhoek boeih ham mueimae la na om uh.

8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

Boeipa kah olka tah nangmih lamloh ha humtih Makedonia neh Akhaia ah bueng pawt tih Pathen na tangnah te hmuen takuem la cet coeng. Te dongah kaimih kah thui ham pakhat khaw a ngoe moenih.

9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

Amih loh Kaimih kawng ah nangmih taengah kunnah metlaa om khaw, mueirhol lamloh aka hing oltak Pathen kah salbi ham Pathen taengah metlana mael uh khaw,

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

vaan lamkah a capa rhingoel te khaw, anihte duek khui lamloha thoh te khaw, aka thoeng ham kosi lamloh mamih aka hlawt Jesuh kawng te khaw ha puen uh coeng.
