1 Thessalonians 2
1 My fellow believers, you know that our time with you was very worthwhile/effective [LIT].
Ichil inaosa, eikhoina nakhoigi nanakta lakkhiba adu aremba natte haiba nakhoi nasamakna khang-i.
2 Although [people] in Philippi [city] previously mistreated us [(exc)] and insulted us, as you know, our God caused us to be courageous. As a result, we told you the good message [that originates/comes from] God, even though some [people in your city] also strongly (opposed [us/tried to prevent us from telling God’s message]).
Eikhoina Thessalonica-da nakhoigi nanakta laktringeigi mamangda kamdouna eikhoibu Philippi saharda thina toubikhiba amadi ikaiba nanghankhiba haibadu nakhoina khang-i. Adubu ayet-apan kaya ama leiraba phaobada eikhoigi Tengban Mapuna nakhoida Ibungo mangondagi lakpa Aphaba Pao adu haidoknaba eikhoida thouna pinabikhi.
3 When we exhorted/urged (OR, tried to convince) [you to obey God’s message], we did not tell you an untrue message. Instead, we told you a true message. We do not [want to get something for ourselves] by immoral means. We do not try to deceive [you or other people].
Eikhoigi haijaba adu asoiba nattraga sengdaba wakhallonda yumpham oiba natte aduga eikhoina kanagumba amatabu lounamnaba hotnade.
4 On the contrary, we tell God’s message because he trusted us to do that, because he examined us and considered us [to be acceptable to tell people] the message about Christ. As we teach people, we do not say what they like to hear. Instead, [we say what] God [wants us to say, because] he examines everything that we think and what we desire.
Madugi mahutta, Tengban Mapuna eikhoida phongdok-hanba pamba adu eikhoina matam pumnamakta ngang-i, Maramdi Aphaba Pao adu sinnabada matik chaba ama oina Tengban Mapuna eikhoibu leppire. Eikhoina misingbu pelhannaba hotnade adubu eikhoigi thamoibu chang yengbiba Tengban Mapubu pelhannaba eikhoina sandok-i.
5 We never (flattered you/said nice things about you insincerely), as you know. We were never greedy, so we never needed to use words to (hide greediness [from you/cause you to think that we were not greedy]). God knows that this is true!
Eikhoina keidoungeidasu mibu thagatsannaba wahei sijinnade, aduga kaarambabu kupsinnaba tousinnaba wasu sijinade haiba nakhoina khang-i. Tengban Mapuna eikhoigi sakhini.
6 We never tried to get people [to honor us],
Christtagi pakhonchatpa ama oina eikhoina eikhoigi matik adu sijinnaba yaramlabasu, eikhoina nakhoidagi oirabasu kana amadagi oirabasu misingdagi eikhoina thagatpiba phangnaba hotnajade.
7 although we could have demanded [that you should honor/respect us], because we are apostles [who represent] (OR, [speak for]) Christ. On the contrary, we were gentle when we were among you, as a mother [gently] takes care of her own children [SIM].
Adubu eikhoina nakhoigi narakta leiringei matamda mamana machasingbu luna channa toujabagumna eikhoina pukning tapna leijarammi.
8 So, because we love you, we were delighted to personally tell you the good message that God [gave us]. But also we were delighted to lovingly do all that we could do to help you [SYN] because (you had become very dear to us/we had begun to love you very much).
Eikhoina nakhoibu asukki matik nungsijaba maramna, Tengban Mapugi Aphaba Pao adu khakta nattaduna eikhoigi punsi asi phaobasu nakhoida pithokpada eikoina harao-nungaijakhi.
9 My fellow believers, you remember that we worked very hard [DOU] [in order to] ([support ourselves/earn money to buy what we needed]) [while we were with you]. We worked [during the] day and [also at] night in order that we would not have to ask any one of you to give us what we needed, [while] we proclaimed to you the good message that God [gave us].
Ichil inaosa, eikhoigi kanna nomba amasung tamthina waba adu nakhoina soidana ningsinglamgani; eikhoina nakhoida Tengban Mapugi Aphaba pao sandoklingei matamduda nakhoi kana amatada potlum oihandanaba eikhoina ahing nungthil naidana thabak sukhi.
10 You know that it is true, and God knows that it is true, that we conducted our lives in a very pure, right, and faultless [DOU] manner toward you believers.
Thajaba nakhoigi narakta kayada sengna, chumna amadi ayol aran leitana eikhoina chatkhibage haibadu nakhoinasu amasung Tengban Mapunasu sakhini.
11 You know also that [we lovingly behaved/acted toward] each one of you, just like a father [lovingly behaves/acts toward] his own children [SIM].
Mapa amana masamakki machasingbu loinabagumna eikhoina nakhoi khudingmakka loinakhi haibadu nakhoina khang-i.
12 [Specifically, we] kept strongly exhorting/urging and encouraging you that you conduct your lives in the way that God’s people should, [because] he has invited you to become his people over whom he will rule in a wonderful way [HEN].
Ibungo mahak masamakki leibaak amasung matik mangal adubu saruk phangminnanaba nakhoibu koubiba Tengban Mapubu pelhanba punsi mahing aduda hingnanaba eikhoina nakhoibu thougatchakhi, themjinjakhi amadi taksinduna leikhi.
13 We also continually thank God because when you heard the message [that] we told to you, you accepted it as the true message, the good message that God [gave to us]. We did not invent it. [We also thank God] that he is changing your lives because you trust this message [PRS].
Aduga eikhoina karigidamak matam pumbada Tengban Mapubu thagatcharibano haibagi atoppa maram amasu leiri. Madudi eikhoina nakhoida Tengban Mapugi paojel adu purakpa matamda nakhoina madubu takhi amasung mioibadagi lakpa paojel amagum nattaduna tasengnamak Tengban Mapugi waheisu oiriba paojel adubu nakhoina Tengban Mapugi paojel oina lousinjakhi. Maramdi thajaba nakhoida Tengban Mapuna thabak toubiri.
14 My fellow believers, we [know that you sincerely believed the message from God], because the manner in which you acted was just like the manner in which [the congregations] in Judea acted. They also [worship] God, [and they] ([have a close relationship with/are united to]) Christ Jesus. Specifically, you endured it [when] your own countrymen [mistreated you because you believe the message from God], in the same manner that those [Jewish believers in Judea] endured it [when] the Jews [who do not believe in Christ mistreated them].
Aduga Ichil inaosa, nakhoisu Judea-gi Christta Jisuda leiba Tengban Mapugi singlupsing adugi matou loubasing oirakle: Singlupsing aduna Jihudisinggi makhuttagi awa ana khangkhiba aduga mannana nakhoinasu nakhoi nasamakki misinggi maphamdagi awa ana khaangle.
15 [Unbelieving Jews are] the ones whom God considers guilty [for] killing the Lord Jesus, as well as [for killing] many prophets. Other unbelieving Jews forced us to leave [many towns]. They really make God angry; and [they are] opposed to [what is best for] all human beings!
Jihudising aduna Ibungo Jisubu amadi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpibasing adubu hatkhi, aduga eikhoibu ot-neibikhi. Makhoina Tengban Mapubu kayada pelhandriba! Makhoina mi pumnamakta kayada yengthiriba!
16 [Specifically], when we tell [the good message] to non-Jewish people in order that they can be saved {[that God] will save them} [spiritually], these [unbelieving Jews] try to stop/prevent us from doing that. Because they continually sin more and more, they are almost reaching the limit that has been [set by God] [MET]! [God] will soon punish them [MTY], at last, for all their sins!
Jihudi nattaba phurupsingda aran-khubham purakkadaba paojel adubu eikhoina makhoida sandokpa adu phaoba makhoina thingnaba hotnakhi. Matou asumna makhoina touba pap pumnamak adu maton lomhalle. Aduga houjik Tengban Mapugi asaoba adu akonbada makhoigi mathakta lakle.
17 My fellow believers, when for a short time [IDM] [those people forced us to be separated] from you, [we felt like parents] (who had lost all their children/whose children had died) [MET]. [Although] we were far away from you, [we were still] emotionally [concerned about you], and we strongly desired to be present with you.
Ichil inaosa, matam khara nakhoidagi eikhoina tonganna leikhiba matam aduda, (thamoigi oinadi lapnakhide adubu hakchanggi khakta oinani), eikhoigi oinadi, eikhoina nakhoibu kayada inakta leihanningkhiba aduga nakhoibu amuk unnanaba eikhoina kayada kanna hotnakhiba!
18 [You can know that] we wanted to return to you. Indeed I, Paul, [tried to return] twice [IDM]. But [we did not return because] each time Satan [prevented us from returning].
Maramdi eikhoina nakhoigi nanakta amuk lakpa pamkhi. Paul eihak isamaknasu hanna hanna laknaba hotnakhi, adubu Satan-na eikhoigi lambi thingkhi.
19 [We were strongly desiring to be with you], because truly you [RHQ] [are the ones about whom we are proud and joyful]! It is because we are confident that you [will] ([remain faithful/continue believing in God]) that we [will be] joyful! You are the ones who we confidently expect [will keep strongly trusting in God!] It is because you [will] ([remain faithful/continue believing in God]) that we [will] be proud [of the work that we have done] [MET, RHQ] [when] our Lord Jesus [examines what we all have done, at the time] when he comes back [to earth]!
Maramdi, eikhoigi asha, eikhoigi haraojapham amadi Ibungo Jisu Christtana lengbirakpa matamda Ibungogi mangda eikhoigi chaothokchapham oigadouriba luhup adu karino? Madu nakhoi nattabra?
20 Indeed, it is because of you that [even now we] are pleased and joyful!
Tasengnamak, nakhoidi eikhoigi chaothokchapham amasung haraojapham aduni.
