< 1 Thessalonians 2 >

1 For, yourselves, know, brethren, our entrance which was unto you—that it hath not proved void;
Joon awaan loong, sen teeteewah ih ejat ehan, seng sen jiinni raatahe ah thaangmuh tah angta eah.
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.
Sen ih ejat ehan Thesoloni ni sen jiinni maang raari di Philipi ni seng mamet kaanju tahe nyia mame thetre rumta rah ah. Erathan edaante taatje adi uh, seng Rangte ih sen suh heh jiin nawa Ruurang Ese ah baat suh heh chaan kotahe.
3 For, our exhortation, is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile,
Sen suh baattaan hi loong ah ethih adoleh enyaan tiit tah angka, adoleh seng ih o suh ang abah uh emokwaan tiit tabaatke.
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.
Erah nang ih bah, saarookwih Rangte ih seng suh mamet baat thuk suh jamha erah jun ih ju baat hi, tumeah Rangte ih Ruurang Ese ah baat thuk suh epun eah ih danje tahe. Seng ih mih toomroon ah ih tabaatke, erah nang ih bah seng tenthun thaaksokte wah, Rangte ah toomroon ah ih liihi.
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!
Sen ih rapne ne ih jat han, seng ih nyoomnyaak tiit tabaatke eah, adoleh seng ih nyamnyook tiit ah hotthiin suh tabaatke—seng haaki ah Rangte!
6 Nor, of men, seeking glory—either from you, or from others, though we could have assumed, dignity, as Apostles of Christ;
Seng mih ih toom phoongpha he ih tajamke, sen ih ang kojan oh wahoh ih ang koja oh,
7 But we became gentle in your midst, —as though, a nursing mother, had been cherishing her own children:
Kristo kaamwah angli jun ih sen dowa ejen suk et thengti. Enoothong sen damdi ang tahe adi, seng loong ah minuh ih heh sah kakooncha arah likhiik toongtang angti.
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.
Seng sen suh rapne ih mongnook thoih Ruurang Ese Rangte jiin nawa luulu lah angthang ih, seng loong roidong ah nep sen suh kotsuh banban ih tongli. Sen ih seng suh rapne ih minchan tahe!
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,
Joon awaan loong, amiimi sen ih samthun et an, seng mamah kah ih chekbek moti rah ah! Sen suh Ruurang Ese Rangte tiit tumbaat koh ih doh seng thoidoh sen phoh cham an ih thun ih no seng rangwuung rangphe ih moti.
10 Ye, are witnesses—God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
Rangte nyia sen loong ah seng haaki, seng reeraangti loong asuh o ih hanpiita loong raang ih kilingling angta, epun angta nyia emoong muh angta.
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, —
Seng ah sen loong damdi nuh awah neng suh neng sah damdi kareeraang arah likhiik ih tongthaati rah sen ih jat ehali.
12 To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto his own kingdom and glory,
Seng ih sen suh chaan tiit baat hi, nak sootsaam eah, nyia sen loong ah marah Rangte tenroonjih ang ah emah ih songtong an, heh ih sen ah heteewah Hasong chaan aphaan pan adoh roong chotong thuk suh poon halan.
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.
Erah dam ih Rangte suh seng ih saarookwih lakookmi mamet li ah ih ejat theng eje. Seng ih sen suh Rangte tiit thokhuikaat tahe adi, sen ih chaat ano ethang etan, mina tiitwaan lah ang Rangte tiit ih thun anno ah, eno Rangte tiit amiisak emah ju angla. Erah thoih Rangte ah o mina ih hanpi han sen damdam ih roong moh hala.
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:
Joon awaan loong, Rangte mina loong Judia ni mamah ang rumta erah likhiikkhiik ih sen damdi uh emamah ang rumhala, Kristo damdi ang rumta loong likhiik ah. Sen loong ah sen mina na ih siiwi chamnaang tahan neng Jehudi loong ih siiwi chamnaang rumta likhiik ah,
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, —
Teesu Jisu nyia khowah loong tek haatte nyia seng siiwiite loong rah ih ah. Rangte ah neng suh tumthan thungjoongjih angla! Mirep raangtaan suh neng piiara ih tong rumla!
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.
Neng ih seng nep Ranglajatte loong suh neng khopiiroidong tiit baat anep taat tanghaam tahe. Emamah ih neng rangdah ah mathan dah jih angta erah thoon re rumta. Eno amadi Rangte tenkhat ah hethoon ih neng jiinni dat ra hala!
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;
Joon awaan loong, seng, sen jiin nawa amasah moongkhoomti adi—seng tenthun ni hiikthun tiit ju lah ang ih, seng hansi puh asak nawa taantaan hiikkhoom idi botseh—seng ih tumthan kah ih matjam ih nyia seng ih sen we chotup suh tumthan kah ih ram ih!
18 Wherefore, we desired to come unto you—even, I, Paul, both once and again, —and, Satan, thwarted us.
Seng sen jiinnah ngaakwang suh rapne taat ih thunti. Nga teewah taantaan ih jaasiit taan we ngaak wang ang ih taat thuntang, ang abah uh Soitaan ih tajen ngaakwang thuk tahang.
19 For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?
Enoothong, sen loong ah—wahoh nang ih sen loong ajuuba! Seng laalom thukte, seng tenroon thukte, adoleh seng Teesu Jisu raaha sa doh seng loong ah heh ngathong nah ejen etti ih khona soongraang suh ah.
20 Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
Amiimi, sen loong ah seng tenroon theng nyia seng soongraang theng!
