1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be to you.
Paul, Sila ingkaw Timote, Pa Khawsa ingkaw Jesu Khrih awh ak awm Thesalonika khaw awhkaw thlangboelkhqi venawh; Am qeenaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak nangmih a venawh awm seh.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, as we mention you in our prayers.
Nangmih boeih aham ka mik cykcahnaak awh Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa unyng.
3 We remember without ceasing before our God and Father your work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Cangnaak ak caming bibinaak, lungnaak ing tha na ynaak ningnih Bawipa Jesu Khrih awh ngaih-unaak ak caming yh thainaak nami taak naak awh ningnih Pa Khawsa haiawh boet kaana ni sim khqi poepa nyng.
4 Brothers loved by God, we know he has chosen you,
Khawsa ing a lungnaak koeinaakhqi, Khawsa ing nangmih nik tyk khqi hy tice sim unyng.
5 because our gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance. In the same way, you also know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
Ikawtih, nangmih a venawh awithang leek ce awi sawhqat ing am law hy, cehlai thaawmnaak, Ciim Myihla ing ak dungna simnaak ing ni a law. Nangmih a venawh ikawp na kami awm tice ni sim uhyk ti.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, as you received the word in much hardship with joy from the Holy Spirit.
Cawh nangmih taw kaimih ing Bawipa a khawboe ak oet na awm uhyk ti, kyinaak khawzah hu hlai uhyk ti, Ciim Myihla ing ani peek zeelnaak ing awithang ce do uhyk ti.
7 As a result, you became an example to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.
Cedawngawh nangmih taw Makedonia ingkaw Akhaia qam pum awh ak awm, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih a toek kawina awm uhyk ti.
8 For from you the word of the Lord has rung out, and not only in Macedonia and Achaia—everywhere your faith in God has gone out. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it.
Nangmih a ven awhkawng Bawipa ak awithang ce Makedonia ingkaw Akhaia qam doeng awh am thang hy - nangmih ak cangnaak ce awm thlang boeih ing sim uhy. Cedawngawh ikaw kqawn aham awm am ngoe voel hawh hy, kaimih ikawpna nami do nami dan uh tice a mimah ing kqawn hawh uhy.
9 For they themselves report what kind of coming we had among you. They tell how you turned to God from the idols to serve the living and true God.
Myihlip bawknaak ce qoeng unawh ak hqing ingkaw ak thym Khawsa bibi ham ingkaw,
10 They report that you are waiting for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead. This is Jesus, who frees us from the wrath to come.
amah ing thihnaak awhkawng am thawh - ak law hly kawi kawsonaak awhkawng ningnih anik loet sakkung, khan nakawng ak law hly kawi amah a Capa Jesu qeh uhyk ti tice kqawn law uhy.
