1 Thesoloniite 3

1 Seng saaloh lakah jen tongke no Ithen hadaang adoh tong kah ih et thunhi

Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,

2 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,

and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,

3 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.

that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

4 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.

For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

5 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!

For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.

6 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.

But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you.

7 Erah thoih, joon awaan loong, seng siiwi chamnaang hali pootdi sen tuungmaang asuh rapne ih tenroonli. Sen tuungmaang thoih seng ah tenchaan angli,

For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.

8 sen roidong ah Teesu damdoh roongroop lam ih rongtangtang ang an bah seng loong ah songtong ih.

For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

9 Amadoh seng Rangte suh sen thoidoh lakookmi ejen li et ih. Sen loong thoi heh pandi seng tenroon angli asuh lakookmi liihi.

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,

10 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.

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

11 Seng loong Wah Rangte heteewah nyia Teesu Kristo ih sen jiinnah jen raak suh lam toom laang kohe!

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

12 Seng Teesu ih sen loong chamchi nah esiit esiit minchan muijih lam adoh toom haksiit han, seng ih sen minchan hi ah likhiik ah.

May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

13 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.

to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
