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, 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 thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Nangmih boeih aham ka mik cykcahnaak awh Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa unyng.
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;
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 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
Khawsa ing a lungnaak koeinaakhqi, Khawsa ing nangmih nik tyk khqi hy tice sim unyng.
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.
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 ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
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 ye were ensamples to all that believe 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 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.
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 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;
Myihlip bawknaak ce qoeng unawh ak hqing ingkaw ak thym Khawsa bibi ham ingkaw,
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.
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.
