1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
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 always give thanks to God for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
Nangmi phäh alä se Pamhnam je na lü kami ktaiyü naküt üng jenak ka ning jah mtheh petki.
3 unceasingly remembering your work of faith, and the labor of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and 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 having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,
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 good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as you have known of what sort we became among you for your sake,
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 of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Nami khamei a dämda üngpi, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim üngkhyüh lawkia jekyainaka ngthu yah lü keimi ja Bawipa üng nami ngcukngkiki.
7 so that you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,
Akaijah hne ja Maketawnih hne üng jumeikiea phäh ami ngcukngkihnak vaia nami kyaki.
8 for from you has sounded forth the word of the LORD, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God went forth, so that we have no need to say anything,
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 themselves declare concerning us what entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,
Nami veia kami law üng ihawkba nami jah dokham, xüngseikia Pamhnam kcanga khut bi khaia,
10 and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.
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.
