1 Thessalonians 3
1 Wherefore, when we could no longer forbear, we chose to be left at Athens alone,
Seng saaloh lakah jen tongke no Ithen hadaang adoh tong kah ih et thunhi
2 and sent Timothy, our brother and a fellow-laborer with God in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to encourage you in your faith,
eno erah nawa ih Timothi ah daapjahe. Timothi ah seng phono Rangte mootkaat raang ih seng damdi Ruurang Ese Kristo tiitkhaap ah roong baattaante. Sen loong ah sen hanpi nah rongtangtang ih tong suh toomroong chosok raahan ih daapjah tahe,
3 so that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for yourselves know that to this we are appointed;
eno ba sen ah wasiit taan uh arah siiwi chamnaang loong thoih laphaangjaang theng ang an. Sen teeteewah ih jat ehan seng suh arah likhiik siiwi chamnaang loong abah Rangte thung atak jun ih ang thukla.
4 for even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction, just as it came to pass, and ye know.
Tumeah seng sen damdi ang tahe adi, seng ih saapoot maang thokdi banbaat eti seng loong ah siiwi chamnaang et he eah, eno emamah ju ang ra hala, senteewah ih naririh ih jat han.
5 For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent in order to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor should prove in vain.
Erah thoih ngah ih Timothi ah daap jatahang. Ngah saaloh lakah jen ban tong kangno, sen tuungmaang ah chojat suh heh ah daapkaat tahang. Amiisak ih sen ah Juungbaan luungwang ih maamok phate jan oh seng mathan taat chamnaang moti loong ah thaangmuh angte ih thunhang!
6 But when Timothy just now came to us from you, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you;
Amadi Timothi ah ngaakwang ih taha, eno heh ih sen minchan nyia sen ruurang ese tiit ah thokbaat wanhala. Seng suh sen ih ese ih samthun he rah tiit baatwan taha nyia sen japtup suh seng karam erah likhiik sen loong ah uh seng japtup suh emamah ih ram lan ih baatwan taha.
7 for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction by your faith;
Erah thoih, joon awaan loong, seng siiwi chamnaang hali pootdi sen tuungmaang asuh rapne ih tenroonli. Sen tuungmaang thoih seng ah tenchaan angli,
8 for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
sen roidong ah Teesu damdoh roongroop lam ih rongtangtang ang an bah seng loong ah songtong ih.
9 For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sakes before our God;
Amadoh seng Rangte suh sen thoidoh lakookmi ejen li et ih. Sen loong thoi heh pandi seng tenroon angli asuh lakookmi liihi.
10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may supply that which is lacking in your faith?
Rangwuung rangphe sen chotup suh sengten sengmong nawa ih rangsoom kohi nyia sen tuungmaang raang ih tumjih jam han erah ah jen chokot suh ah.
11 Now God himself, our Father, and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you;
Seng loong Wah Rangte heteewah nyia Teesu Kristo ih sen jiinnah jen raak suh lam toom laang kohe!
12 and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all, even as we do in love toward you;
Seng Teesu ih sen loong chamchi nah esiit esiit minchan muijih lam adoh toom haksiit han, seng ih sen minchan hi ah likhiik ah.
13 in order that he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.
Emamah ih sen loong ah toom thatsiit han, eno seng Teesu Jisu heh mina angte loong damdoh raaha sa doh seng loong Wah Rangte ngathong nah kilingling nyia esa toom ang an.
