1 Thessalonika 2
1 Manuca rhoek namamih loh na ming uh, nangmih taengah ka kunnah te a tlongtlai la a om moenih.
For you have known, brothers, that our entrance to you has not been in vain,
2 Na ming uh vanbangla Philipi ah ka yook uh tih n'neet uh dongah Pathen kah olthangthen te muep thingthuelnah khuiah nangmih taengah thui ham mamih kah Pathen rhangneh ka sayalh uh.
but having both suffered before, and having been mistreated (as you have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the good news of God in much conflict,
3 Kaimih kah thahphohnah tah tholhhiknah lamkah moenih, rhongingnah lamkah moenih, tuengkhuepnah nen moenih.
for our exhortation [is] not out of deceit, nor out of uncleanness, nor in guile,
4 Tedae Pathen lamloh a n'soepsoei tih n'tangnah vanbangla olthangthen he ka thui uh van. Hlang rhoek kah kolo ham pawt tih mamih kah thinko aka soepsoei Pathen kah kolo la ka thuiuh.
but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,
5 Palawhnah olka neh ka om uh noek moenih. Na ming uh vanbangla mueituengnah mailai neh halhkanah a om pawt khaw, Pathen tah laipai la om coeng.
for at no time did we come with speech of flattery (as you have known), nor in a pretext for covetousness (God [is] witness),
6 Hlang lamkah thangpomnah ka toem uh moenih. Nangmih lamkah moenih, hlang tloe lamkah bal moenih.
nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ’s apostles.
7 Khrih kah caeltueih vanbangla hnorhih neh kan nan uh thai. Tedae a coeng thai atah cacun loh a ca rhoek a yuhyam bangla nangmih lakli ah cahmang la ka om uh.
But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may nurture her own children,
8 Nangmih kah lungloeinah van bangla nangmih taengah Pathen kah olthangthen bueng pawt tih kaimih kah thintlo la na om uh coeng dongah hinglu khaw amah la doedan ham ka lungtlun uh.
so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because you have become beloved to us,
9 Manuca rhoek, kaimih kah thakthaenah neh patangnah te poek uh. Nangmih taengah Pathen kah olthangthen ka hoe uh vaengah nangmih khat khaw thinrhih sak pawt ham khoyin khothaih bi ka saii uh.
for you remember, brothers, our labor and travail, for working night and day not to be a burden on any of you, we preached the good news of God to you;
10 Nangmih neh Pathen tah laipai la na omuh. A cimcaih neh a dueng vanbangla aka tangnah nangmih taengah khaw cuemthuek lam ni ka om uh.
you [are] witnesses—God also—how piously and righteously and blamelessly we became to you who believe,
11 Na ming uh van te ta. Nangmih khat rhip te pa pakhat loh a ca rhoek a hloep bangla kan hloepuh.
even as you have known how we are exhorting each one of you, as a father his own children, and comforting, and testifying,
12 Nangmih te a ram neh thangpomnah khuila aka khue Pathen kah a tingtawk la na caeh uh ham nangmih te kan suem uh tih ka laipai uh.
for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own kingdom and glory.
13 He dongah khaw Pathen te phat ka uem uh bal. Kaimih lamkah olthang na doe uh te Pathen kah olka ni, hlang kah olka moenih. Tedae Pathen kah Ol la rhep a om dongah na doe uh. Te tah aka tangnah nangmih khuiah khaw tueng.
And because of this we also continually give thanks to God, that, having received the word of God [by] your hearing from us, you accepted, not the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, who also works in you who believe;
14 Manuca rhoek nangmih tah Judea ah aka om tih Khrih Jesuh ah Pathen hlangboel rhoek kah mueiloh la na om uh. Nangmih khaw amah pilnam lamloh amih Judah taengkah bangla amah la na patang uh.
for you became imitators, brothers, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you suffered such things, even you, from your own countrymen, as they also from the Jews,
15 Boeipa Jesuh neh tonghma rhoek te khaw a ngawn uh. Mamih khaw n'hnaemtaek uh. Pathen khaw a kolo uh pawh. Hlang boeih te khaw a kingkalh uh.
who put to death both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and persecuted us, and they are not pleasing God, and [are] contrary to all men,
16 Amamih kah tholh te a tomthap taitu vanbangla namtom rhoek te daem saeh tila thui ham khaw kaimih te n'haek uh. Tedae amih te kosi loh a bawt duela a tlak thil coeng.
forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, so as to always fill up their sins, but [God’s] anger came on them—to the end!
17 Manuca rhoek aw kaimih he a tue khohnin kolkalh ham nangmih mikhmuh lamkah n'tuiphih uh coeng dae thinko ah m'phih uh moenih. Nangmih maelhmai hmuh ham bahoeng hoehhamnah neh ka haam uh khungdaeng coeng.
And we, brothers, having been taken from you for the space of an hour—in presence, not in heart—hurried more abundantly to see your face in much desire;
18 Te dongah nangmih taengah pawk ham ka ngaih uh. Kai Paul rhoerhoe vai hnavoei khaw ka cai dae Satan loh kaimih n'tomta.
for this reason we wished to come to you (I, indeed, Paul), both once and again, and Satan hindered us;
19 Mamih kah ngaiuepnah neh omngaihnah neh hoemdamnah rhuisam tah unim? Jesuh amah a lonah dongah mamih Boeipa hmaiah nangmih van pawt nim?
for what [is] our hope, or joy, or garland of rejoicing? Are not even you before our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
20 Nangmih tah kaimih kah thangpomnah neh omngaihnah la na om uh.
For you are our glory and joy.
