1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
Hmaunawnghanaw, nangmouh koe ka tho awh e hah, ayawmyin lah awm hoeh tie namamouh ni na panue awh.
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.
Nangmouh ni na panue awh e patetlah kaimanaw teh, Filippi khovah rucatnae hoi rektapnae hmaloe ka khang awh hnukkhu, Cathut kângue laihoi kâtuknae kalen kâhmo awh teh, Cathut e kamthang kahawi hah nangmouh hanlah taranhawi laihoi ka pâpho awh.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
Yonnae, kamhnawngnae, dumyennae lahoi kaimouh ni nangmanaw hah tha na poe awh hoeh.
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.
Kamthang kahawi ka phawt hanelah Cathut ni na ta dawkvah, tami lunghawi sak hane na hoeh, maimae lungthin ka tanouk e Cathut lunghawi sak nahanelah doeh, kaimouh ni ka pâpho awh.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, nangmouh ni na panue awh e patetlah nangmouh pasawtpanepnae lawk buet touh boehai ka dei awh hoeh. Hounlounnae lahoi kâsaknae hai awm hoeh tie teh Cathut nihai a kampangkhai.
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Hot hloilah, Khrih e guncei lah ka o teh, nangmouh hnokari na phu sak thai awh ei, tami ni poe e bawilennae hah nangmouh koe ka tawng awh hoeh, alouknaw koehai ka tawng awh hoeh.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
A manu ni a ca a khetyawt e patetlah nangmouh koe lungnemnae lahoi na khetyawt awh.
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.
Kaimouh ni nangmouh lung na pataw dawkvah, Cathut e kamthang kahawi dueng tho laipalah, kamamae hringnae totouh pasoung hanelah nangmouh koe lungthonae ka tawn awh.
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.
Hmaunawnghanaw, patang laihoi kâyawm e hah nangmouh ni na panue awh. Cathut e kamthang kahawi nangmouh koe ka dei awh nah, nangmouh han hnokari lah ka o awh hoeh nahanelah, karum khodai thaw ka tawk awh.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
Nangmouh kayuemnaw rahak ka o awh navah, thoungnae hoi lannae dawk toun hoeh e lah ka o awh e hah nangmouh hoi Cathut teh kapanuekkhaikung lah a o.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Na pa ni canaw a khetyawt e patetlah nangmouh haiyah na khetyawt awh tie na panue awh.
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
A ram hoi a lentoenae thungvah nangmouh na ka kaw e ni, a ngai e patetlah hring awh nahanelah, pout laipalah, kâhroecoenae lahoi lung na pahawi awh teh, tha na poe awh.
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.
Nangmouh ni kaimouh koehoi Cathut e kamthang kahawi na dâw awh navah, tami e lawk na dâw awh hoeh, Cathut e lawk roeroe doeh na dâw awh tie hai thoseh, ka yuem tangcoungnaw hringnae dawk, Cathut lawk ni thaw a tawk tie hai thoseh, na dâw awh tie ka thai awh navah, Cathut lungmanae hah pout laipalah ka pholen awh.
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
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, hmaunawnghanaw, Khrih Jisuh thung kaawm niteh, Judah ram kaawm, Cathut e kawhmounnaw hah Judahnaw ni a rektap awh e patetlah nangmouh hai namamae taminaw ni rektapnae na khang awh.
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,
Judahnaw ni Jisuh koehoi a kamtawng awh teh profetnaw a thei awh toe. Maimouh hai na rektap awh toe. Cathut e ngainae hai tarawi awh hoeh. Taminaw puenghoi hai a kâtaran awh toe.
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.
Jentelnaw rungngangnae koe pha sak hanelah kaimouh ni pâpho e kamthang lawk hai a ngang awh teh, amamae yonnae teh pou a kuep sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, Cathut lungkhueknae ni ahnimouh lathueng a bosin awh.
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,
Hmaunawnghanaw kaimouh teh lungthin hoi tho laipalah, tak hoi dawngdengca kamphei awh navah, nangmae minhmai hmu hanlah, na rabui awh teh, kâhmo hanelah hoe ka panki awh.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
Hatdawkvah, kaimouh teh nangmouh koe tho hanlah ka ngai awh. Kai Pawl teh nangmouh onae koe vai hni touh tho han ka kâcai ei, Setan ni na ngang.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih bout a tho torei teh, amae hmalah kaimae ngaihawinae, lunghawinae hoi, kâoupnae, bawilukhung lah kaawm hane teh, api nahoeh, nangmouh doeh toe.
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
Nangmouh teh kaimae bawilennae hoi lunghawinae katang lah na o awh.
