1 Pawl, Silvanus hoi Timote mah aicae Ampa Sithaw hoi Angraeng Jesu Kri ah kaom Thessalonika vangpui ih kricaabunawk khaeah hae tiah thuih pae: aicae Ampa Sithaw, Angraeng Jesu Kri khae hoi ih tahmenhaih hoi monghaih to nangcae khaeah om nasoe.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace.

2 Lawk ka thuih o naah, nangcae boih han kawnhaih lawk ka thuih o toepsoep;

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,

3 aicae Ampa Sithaw hmaa ah tanghaih hoiah toksakhaih, amlunghaih hoiah tha pathokhaih, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri oephaih hoiah pauephaih to boeng ai ah lawk ka thuih o;

remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and perseverance in the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father;

4 palung ih nawkamyanawk, nangcae loe Sithaw mah ni ang qoih o, tiah ka panoek.

since we know, brethren beloved of God, that he hath chosen you;

5 Kaicae ih tamthanglok hoih loe nangcae khaeah lok hoi khue ah angzo ai, toe thacakhaih, Kacai Muithla hoi loktang panoekhaih hoiah ni angzoh, nangcae khae ka oh o naah kaicae kawbangmaw kho ka sak o, tito na panoek o.

because the gospel preached by us came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye well know what sort of persons we became among you for your sake.

6 Kating ai pacaekthlaekhaih na tong o cadoeh, Kacai Muithla anghoehaih hoiah tamthanglok to na talawk o pongah, kaicae hnukbang kami hoi Angraeng hnukbang kami ah na oh o.

And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy from the Holy Spirit;

7 To tiah nangcae loe Macedonia hoi Akaia prae ah kaom tangcaanawk mah khet koi kaom ah na oh o.

so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 Nangcae khae hoi thuih ih Angraeng ih tamthanglok loe, Macedonia hoi Akaia prae thung khue ah na ai, Sithaw na tang o haih tamthang loe ahmuen kruekah amsong boeh; to pongah tidoeh thuih han angaih ai boeh.

For from you the word of the Lord hath sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God hath become known; so that we need not say anything [[about you]].

9 Kaicae loe kawbangmaw nangcae thungah ka kun o, tito angmacae mah roe a thuih o, kahing hoi loktang Sithaw ih tok to sak hanah krang bokhaih to na toengh o sut moe, Sithaw khaeah nang qoi o boeh;

For they themselves are reporting concerning us what kind of reception we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,

10 angzo han koi Sithaw palungphuihaih thung hoiah aicae loisakkung, duekhaih thung hoiah Anih mah pathawk ih a Capa Jesu van hoiah angzo tih, tiah na zing o haih kawng doeh a thuih o.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.
