1 Thessalonika 3
1 Ka ueh uh thai pawt dongah Athens bueng ah hnoo ham ka lungtlun uh coeng.
For this reason, enduring no longer, we thought good to be left in Athens alone,
2 Timothy, mamih kah manuca neh Khrih kah olthangthen ah Pathen kah bibipuei te nangmih aka duel ham neh nangmih te tangnah dongah hloephloei ham kan tueih uh.
and sent Timotheus—our brother, and a servant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ—to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,
3 He phacip phabaem dongah ngingai ham moenih. He ham na om uh te amah la na ming uh.
that no one be moved in these tribulations, for you have known that we are set for this,
4 Nangmih taengah ka om uh vaengah pataeng lawn ham ka cai uh te nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Te dongah a thoeng vanbangla na ming uh.
for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand that we are about to suffer tribulation, as it also came to pass, and you have known [it];
5 He he ka ueh tloel dongah nangmih kah tangnah he ming ham ni kan tueih. Aka cuekcawn loh nangmih n'cuekcawn koinih kaimih kah thatlohnah tah a tlongtlai la om mai mahpawt nim.
because of this also, I, no longer enduring, sent to know your faith, lest he who is tempting tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.
6 Tedae nangmih lamloh kaimih taengla Timothy ha pawk tih nangmih kah tangnah neh lungnah khaw, kaimih poekkoepnah, a then la na khueh uh taitu te khaw, kaimih bangla nangmih khaw kaimih hmuh ham na rhingda uh te khaw kaimih ham olthangthen a phong.
And Timotheus now having come to us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that you always have a good remembrance of us, desiring much to see us, as we also [to see] you,
7 Te dongah manuca rhoek, kaimih kah kueknah neh phacip phabaem cungkuem ah nangmih kah tangnah rhangneh nangmih ham khaw ka mong uh.
because of this we were comforted, brothers, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,
8 Te dongah nangmih te Boeipa ah na cak uh atah n'hing uh coeng.
because now we live, if you may stand fast in the LORD.
9 Nangmih kongah mamih Pathen kah hmaiah ka omngaih uh. Te omngaihnah cungkuem kongah nangmih yueng la Pathen te mebang uemonah nen nim n'sah thai ve.
For what thanks are we able to repay to God for you, for all the joy with which we delight because of you in the presence of our God,
10 Nangmih maelhmai hmuh ham neh nangmih kah tangnah dongah vawtthoeknah te moeh ham khoyin khothaih a puehdaih la ka bih uh.
exceedingly imploring night and day, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith?
11 A pa Pathen mah neh mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh loh nangmih taengla kaimih kah longpuei hoihaeng pawn saeh.
And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you,
12 Te dongah Boeipa loh nangmih m'pungtai sak saeh lamtah lungnah te khat neh khat soah khaw, hlang boeih soah khaw, kaimih bangla nangmih soah khaw baecoih saeh.
and the LORD cause you to increase and to abound in the love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you,
13 Mamih kah Pathen neh Pa hmaikah cimcaihnah dongah, mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh neh a hlangcim rhoek boeih kah a lonah dongah nangmih kah thinko te cuemthuek la duel uh. Amen.
in order to have established your hearts, blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His holy ones.
