1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
Nawkamyanawk, nangcae khaeah kang zoh o haih hae, azom na ai ni, tiah na panoek o:
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
na panoek o baktih toengah, kaicae loe Filipi ah ang pacaekthlaek o moe, azat kaom ah ang sak o, toe paroeai angaekhaih hoiah nangcae khaeah kahoih tamthanglok to Sithaw ah misahoihaih hoiah ka thuih o thaih.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Kaicae loe sakpazaehaih, ciimcai ai ah toksakhaih hoi alinghaih hoiah nangcae to tha kang paek o ai:
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
tamthanglok hoih pakuem hanah oepthok kami ah Sithaw mah tapom baktih toengah, kami koehhaih baktih na ai ah, Sithaw koehhaih baktiah ni ka thuih o.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Na panoek o baktih toengah, kaicae loe amoekhaih lok ka thui o ai, kamthlai koeh hmoekhaih lok doeh ka thui o vai ai, tito Sithaw mah panoek:
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Kri mah patoeh ih kami ah ka oh o pongah, thoemto nangcae hanah loe hmuenzit ah doeh ka oh o thaih, toe kami pakoehhaih to ka pakrong o ai, nangcae mah pakoehhaih doeh ka pakrong o ai, kalah kaminawk mah pakoehhaih doeh ka pkrong o ai.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
Amno mah a caanawk pacah baktih toengah, nangcae salakah ka oh o naah, poeknaemhaih hoiah ni kho ka sak o:
8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
kang palung o parai pongah, Sithaw ih tamthanglok hoih thuih han ih khue na ai ah, nangcae palung kang nat o haih pongah, hinghaih paek han khoek to mataeng doeh ka koeh o.
9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
Nang panoek o baktih toengah, nawkamyanawk, kaicae loe angpho qawthaih hoiah ni tok ka sak o: nangcae raihaih paek han ai ah aqum athun tok ka sak o moe, nangcae khaeah kahoih Sithaw tamthanglok to kang thuih o.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
Nang panoek o baktih toengah, nangcae tangcaanawk khaeah loe, coek koi kaom ai ciimhaih hoi toenghaih hoiah ni kho ka sak o, tito Sithaw mah doeh panoek:
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
ampa mah a caanawk khaeah sak ih baktih toengah, nangcae boih khaeah kawbangmaw thapaekhaih hoi monghaih lok kang thuih o, tito na panoek o,
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
Siangpahrang ah a uk ih prae hoi lensawkhaih thungah nangcae kawkkung, Sithaw mikcuk naakrak ah kho na sak o thai hanah lok kang thuih o.
13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
Kaicae khae hoi Sithaw lok na thaih o naah, kaminawk ih lok baktiah na talawk o ai, loktang, Sithaw ih lok baktiah ni na talawk o, nangcae tangcaanawk salakah tok ka sak o pongah, Sithaw khaeah boeng ai ah anghoehaih lawk ka thuih o.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews
Nawkamyanawk, nangcae loe Judah prae ah Kri Jesu to talawk moe, Sithaw hnukbang kricaabunawk mah, Judah kaminawk khae hoi pacaekthlaekhaih tongh o baktih toengah, nangcae doeh nangmacae kaminawk khae hoi ih pacaekthlaekhaih to na tongh o toeng:
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
Judahnawk mah Angraeng Jesu Kri hoi angmacae ih tahmaanawk to hum o, kaicae doeh ang pacaekthlaek o; nihcae mah Sithaw palung anghoe o sak thai ai, nihcae loe kami boih ih misa ah oh o:
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
Gentelnawk mah pahlonghaih hnu o moeng tih, tiah a poek o pongah nihcae khaeah kahoih tamthanglok taphong hanah kaicae to ang pakaa o, to tiah angmacae zaehaih to koi o sak: to pongah hnukkhuem ah Sithaw palungphuihaih to nihcae nuiah krah tih.
17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
Toe nawkamyanawk, kaicae loe palung hoi na ai, taksa ah nangcae hoi nawnetta thung angthla ah ka oh o, nangcae kang poek o parai pongah, hnuk han kang koeh o parai boeh.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
To pongah nangcae khae angzoh han ka koeh o, kai, Pawl doeh nangcae khae angzoh pacoengah, angzoh let han ka koeh vop, toe Setan mah kaicae to pakaa ving.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri anghum naah angmah hmaa ah, nangcae ai ah loe mi maw ka oep o ih anghoehaih hoi anghoehaih sui lumuek ah kaom?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Nangcae loe kaicae lensawkhaih hoi anghoehaih ah na oh o.
