1 Thessalonians 2
1 For, yourselves, know, brethren, our entrance which was unto you—that it hath not proved void;
Kami be ja kami cinae aw, nami veia kami law cen sungpyamnak am ni ti nami ksingki.
2 But, though we had previously suffered, and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the glad-message of God with much conflict.
Thesalonikah mlüh am kami pha law ham üng, Philipih mlüha ihlawka ami jah yaihyün nghekanak cun nami ksingki. Aktäa jah ngtäkpüi kyaw u lü pi, mi Pamhnam naw amät üngkhyüh lawkia Thangkdaw ning jah mtheh vaia lingnak jah pe pängki.
3 For, our exhortation, is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile,
Kami ning jah nghuinak hin am dawkia mkhyenak, am ngcingcaihkia ngaihnak ja limmanak üng ning jah mtheh am ni.
4 But, even as we have been approved by God, to be entrusted with the glad-message, so, we speak, —not as, unto men, giving pleasure, but unto God—who proveth our hearts.
Pamhnam naw Thangkdaw pyen khaia a jah ümnaka mäiha, khyanga mlung jesaki am ni lü, khyanga mlungkyawng jah ksingki Pamhnam jesak vaia ni khut kami bi ve.
5 For neither at any time were we found, using words of flattery, —even as ye know, nor a pretext for greed—God, is witness!
Nami veia kami law üng, mhläknaka ngthu pyen lü kamvanaka ngthu sumei khaia am kami lawki ti cun angtea nami ksingki. Pamhnam hin kami saksi ni.
6 Nor, of men, seeking glory—either from you, or from others, though we could have assumed, dignity, as Apostles of Christ;
Nangmi naw pi ni se, akce naw pi ni se, ua jah mküiei vai pi am ktha na u nawng.
7 But we became gentle in your midst, —as though, a nursing mother, had been cherishing her own children:
Khritawa ngsäa kba nami veia kthähei lü yah kyawki. Cunüngpi, nami veia kami law üng hniphnawi lü nu mat naw a naca a mceia mäiha kami ning jah mceiki.
8 Thus, yearning after you, we could have been well-pleased to impart unto you—not only the glad-message of God, but, our own lives also, —because, very dear to us, had ye become.
Acunakyase, kami ning jah mhläkphyanak am Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia Thangkdaw däk am ni lü kami sak pi ning jah pet hlü awnga kami ngtünkie cen. Nangmi cun aktä se kami ning jah mhläkphya naki.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad-message of God,
Ka benae aw, ihlawka bawngkha lü mi khüi cun nami ksingki. Ua khana pi ia khuikhanak käh a pha law vaia, amhnüp amthana khüi lü Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia Thangkdaw cun kami ning jah mthehki.
10 Ye, are witnesses—God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
Nangmi jumeikiea khana ihlawka ngcingcaih, ngsungpyun lü mkat vai käh vekia kami ve cun, nangmi ja Pamhnam cun kami saksia nami kyaki.
11 Even as ye know how, unto each one of you, we were as a father unto his own children, consoling you, and soothing, and calling to witness, —
Amäta Khankhaw Pe ja hlüngtainaka ning jah cehpüiki, Pamhnam jekyaisakia xünsak üng nami ve vaia, Pa mat naw a cae a jah vepüia kba, mat cima ning jah mcuhmcäi mhlawhmcah lü kami ve nami ksingki.
12 To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto his own kingdom and glory,
13 And, for this cause, we, are also giving thanks unto God unceasingly, that, when ye received a spoken word from us—which was God’s, ye welcomed it—not as a human word, but, even as it truly is, a divine word, —which is also inwardly working itself in you who believe.
Pamhnam üng aläa kami jenaka mawng ta: Pamhnama ngthu nami veia kami lawpüi üng ngja lü nami dodangki. Khyanga ngthu sawxata mäiha käh ngai lü Mhnama ngthua ngai lü, acun cun Pamhnama ngthu kcanga kya lü jumeiki nangmia khana Pamhnam naw khut a bia phäh ni.
14 For, ye, became, imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea, in Christ Jesus, in that, the same things, ye, also suffered by your own fellow-countrymen, even as, they, also by the Jews:
Kami benae aw, Jesuh Khritaw yahei lü Judah khawa veki Pamhnama sangcimea veia thawnkia kba, nangmia veia pi thawn lawki. Judah khyange amimäta khyangmjü naw ami jah mkhuimkhaa kba, nangmi pi namimäta khyangmjü naw ning jah mkhuimkha ve.
15 Who have both slain the, Lord, Jesus—and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary, —
Judahe cun Bawipa Jesuh ja sahma he jah hnim u lü keimi pi jah mkhuimkhakie. Ihlawka Pamhnam am jekyaisakie ni. Ihlawka khyang naküt jah mkeieikie ni.
16 Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.
Küikyannak jah pe khaia thangkdaw Khyangmjükce hea veia kami sang pi jah ngdüm hlüsak ktawihkie. Aläa mkhyenak ami pawh cen ahikba mkhyenak kümceisakie ni. Akpäihnaka ta, Pamhnama mlungsonak ami khana pha päng ve.
17 Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour, —in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing;
Ka benae aw, pumsa üng asängca mi ngtai kyaw u lü pi, mlung kyawng üng ta am mi ngtai. Akhyang puma ning jah hmuh be vaia aktä se ning jah süm lü kami ktha nakie.
18 Wherefore, we desired to come unto you—even, I, Paul, both once and again, —and, Satan, thwarted us.
Nami veia nghlat law be vaia kami yängki. Kamät kung pi nghngih vei law vaia ka ngtängki, Khawyam naw am na lawsak ve.
19 For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?
Kami äpeinak, jekyainak ja mi Bawipa Jesuha law be üng a maa kami ngnängpangnaka mawng awhcahnak vai cun nangmi ni, khyang kce he am ni.
20 Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
Kami hlüngtainak ja kami jekyainak ta nangmi ni.
