1 Paul, Silvanas neh Timothy loh a pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih ah Tesalonika kah hlangboel te kan yaak sak. Nangmih taengah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah om saeh.

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

2 Nangmih boeih kongah Pathen te ka uem uh taitu. Kaimih kah thangthuinah dongah poekkoepnah ka saii uh.

We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;

3 Nangmih kah tangnah bibi neh lungnah thakthaenah, a pa Pathen hmaiah Jesuh Khrih mamih Boeipa kah ngaiuepnah dongah uehnah te phat ka poek uh.

Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

4 Pathen kah a lungnah manuca rhoek nangmih kah tueknah te ming uh.

Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;

5 Kaimih kah olthangthen tah nangmih taengah olka bueng nen pawt tih thaomnah nen khaw Mueihla Cim nen khaw, ngaikhueknah soep nen khaw ha pawk. Na ming uh vanbangla nangmih khuiah ka om te khaw nangmih ham ni.

Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

6 Nangmih khaw Boeipa neh kaimih mueiloh la na om uh dongah phacip phabaem te yet khuiah olthang te omngaihnah Mueihla Cim neh na doe uh.

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

7 Te dongah Makedonia neh Akhaia kah aka tangnah rhoek boeih ham mueimae la na om uh.

So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 Boeipa kah olka tah nangmih lamloh ha hum tih Makedonia neh Akhaia ah bueng pawt tih Pathen na tangnah te hmuen takuem la cet coeng. Te dongah kaimih kah thui ham pakhat khaw a ngoe moenih.

For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

9 Amih loh Kaimih kawng ah nangmih taengah kunnah metla a om khaw, mueirhol lamloh aka hing oltak Pathen kah salbi ham Pathen taengah metla na mael uh khaw,

For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

10 vaan lamkah a capa rhingoel te khaw, anih te duek khui lamloh a thoh te khaw, aka thoeng ham kosi lamloh mamih aka hlawt Jesuh kawng te khaw ha puen uh coeng.

Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.
