1 Thessalonika 4
1 Te dongah manuca rhoek, Boeipa Jesuh ming neh nangmih kan dawt uh tih kan hloep uh. Te daengah ni nangmih popang ham neh Pathen kolo ham metla a kuek te kaimih taengkah na dang uh vanbangla rhep na pongpa uh tih taoe na hoeikhang uh eh.
As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,
2 Boeipa Jesuh rhang neh nangmih taengah me bang oluen kan paek uh te khaw na ming uh.
for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus,
3 Nangmih kah cimcaihnah he Pathen kah kongaih la a om dongah, nangmih loh Cukhalnah te rhael ham,
for this is the will of God — your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,
4 nangmih pakhat rhip loh namamih kah koe te cimcaihnah neh hinyahnah dongah kaelh ham te ming ham,
that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour,
5 Pathen aka ming pawh namtom rhoek bangla cukhalhnah, huebawtnah khuiah om uh boeh.
not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
6 Amah manuca he dumlai neh khumla boel lamtah omtoem boeh. Te boeih te aka thuung la Boeipa a om dongah nangmih taengah ka thui uh tih kang uen uh van.
that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger [is] the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified,
7 Rhongingnah ham pawt tih cimcaihnah khuiah ni mamih he Pathen loh n'khue.
for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification;
8 Te dongah aka aal long tah hlang aal pawt tih nangmih taengah amah kah Mueihla Cim aka pae Pathen ni a aal.
he, therefore, who is despising — doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.
9 Tedae manuca lungnah kawng te nangmih taengah kan daek ham ngoe pawh. Khat neh khat lungnah ham te nangmih tah pathen kah a thuituen lana om uh.
And concerning the brotherly love, ye have no need of [my] writing to you, for ye yourselves are God-taught to love one another,
10 Makedonia pum kah manuca rhoek boeih taengah khaw na saii uh ngawn coeng. Tedae manuca rhoek nangmih te taoe pungtai ham kan hloep uh.
for ye do it also to all the brethren who [are] in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,
11 Nangmih kan uen uh vanbangla a dingsuek la tlungmu ham, amah la saii ham koi tah namamih kut neh saii uh.
and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we did command you,
12 Te daengah ni rhamvoel rhoek taengah a rhoeprhui la na pongpa uh vetih a ngoengaih na khueh uh pawt eh.
that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.
13 Manuca rhoek aka ip rhoek ham na mangvawt uh te ka ngaih uh moenih. Te daengah ni ngaiuepnah aka khueh mueh hlang tloe rhoek bangla na ko a thae uh pawt eh.
And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope,
14 Jesuh tah duek tih tho tila n'tangnah uh atah Jesuh ah aka ip rhoek te khaw Pathen loh amah taengah a khuen van ni.
for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,
15 Boeipa kah olka neh nangmih ham ka thui uh. Boeipa a lonah duela aka om tih aka hing mamih loh aka ip taengtae n'khaal uh loengloeng mahpawh.
for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living — who do remain over to the presence of the Lord — may not precede those asleep,
16 Boeipa amah te tamhoenah neh, puencawn boei kah ol neh, Pathen kah olueng neh, vaan lamkah ha rhum ni. Te vaengah Khrih ah aka duek rhoek te lamhma la thoo uh ni.
because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,
17 Te phoeiah mamih aka hing tih aka om rhoek te amih neh thikat la yilh dongkah boeipa te doe ham khomai neh pomsang hang vetih boeipa neh kumhal la n'om uh van ni.
then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be;
18 Te dongah he olka neh thikat la hloep uh thae.
so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.
