1 Thessalonians 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me]. [We(exc) are sending this letter] to [you who are] the congregation [of believers] in Thessalonica [city]. We [(inc)] all [worship] (OR, [trust in]) God [our] Father [MET] and [our] Lord Jesus Christ. [We three desire/pray that God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
Hiche lekhathot hi Paul, Silas chule Timothy a kon ahi. Keihon Pa Pathen le Pakai Yeshua Christa a hiho Thessalonica Houbung mite henga kahin thot nahiuve. Pathen chun lungset le cham-lungmon napeu hen.
2 We always thank God for you all [when] we mention you while we pray (OR, [when] we pray [for you]).
Keihon nangho jouse jal'in Pathen kathangvah jingun chule nangho dingin kataojom jinguvin ahi.
3 [We thank God because] we continually remember that you work [for God because] you trust [in him] and you earnestly/energetically help people because you love them. You also endure [it when people cause you to suffer]. You endure it because you confidently expect that our Lord Jesus Christ [will soon return from heaven to rescue you]!
Keihon Pa le IPathen un nangho chung thua kataonauva, tahsan umtah'a natoh nau, ngailutna neiya nathil bol hou chule IPakaiyu Yeshua Christa jal a thoh hattah'a kinepna naneiyu chu kageldoh ui.
4 My fellow believers whom God loves, we [also thank him because] we know that he chose you [to become his people].
Kasopi deitahte, Pathen in nangailu uvin chule Pathen in Amite hidingin nalhengdoh tauve, ti kaheuve.
5 We know that he chose you because [when] we told that message to you, we did not speak only words. The Holy Spirit [helped us to speak] powerfully/effectively, and he strongly assured [us that he was powerfully working in you by means of] the message [about Christ] that we [told to you. You yourselves know that], because you know how we spoke and how we conducted ourselves when we were with you, in order that [we might help] you.
Ajehchu keihon Kipana Thupha kahin pohpeh u chu thucheng jengseh a hilouvin, thaneina to kilhon a Lhagao Thengin hetchetna lhingset napeh u ahitai tia keihon kaseiyu chu thutah ahi. Chule keihon nangho kagel khohnau nangho toka umkhom laiyun kahin danuvin nahe tauvin ahi.
6 We also [know that God chose you] because we have now heard that you have endured your troubles when [people] caused you to suffer very much [because you believed in Christ]. You endured just like the Lord [Jesus Christ] endured, and just like we did [when people caused us to suffer]. At that time you were joyful because the Holy Spirit caused you to be joyful.
Hiti chun nanghon kathuseiyu chu nangho dinga hahsatna khohtah Lhagao Thenga konin kipah tah in nasangun ahi. Hiti chun nanghon keiho le Pakai umchan chu najom un ahi.
7 As a result [of your joyfully enduring your troubles], all the believers who live in Macedonia and Achaia [provinces have heard how firmly you trust God. So they know that they should firmly trust in God] as you do.
Hitichun nang ho Greece a tahsan saho jouse-Macedonia le Achaia gam jousea vetjui thei nahung hitauve.
8 Other people have heard you tell the message [from] the Lord [Jesus]. Then they also have proclaimed the message to people who live throughout Macedonia and Achaia [provinces]. Not only that, but [people who live] in many far-away places [HYP] have heard that you trust in God. As a result, we do not need to tell people [what God has done in your lives].
Chule tun, Pakai thu chu Macedonia le Achaia gamkallam peh geiyin, hoilai mun hijongleh kachenau chan ah Pathen natahsannau thudol hi aseiyui. Keihon koima koma hithu chu kasei diu angaipoi.
9 People [who live far from you are telling others what happened when we were with you]. They also report that you stopped [worshipping things that] ([you/your ancestors]) [considered to be] gods and now you worship God. [As a result], you serve the God who is all-powerful and who is the real God.
Ajehchu amahon phatah a eina lamtonau thudol aseiyun, chule nangho milim houna'a kona Pathen hing le dihtah kinbol dinga nalung naheiyu thudol aseijom jinguve.
10 They tell us that now you wait expectantly for his Son [to return to earth] from heaven. You firmly believe that God caused him to live again after he died. You believe also that Jesus will rescue [all of] us, [who trust in him], from [God’s] punishing us [MTY].
Chule amaho chun Pathen Chapa–Pathen in athilah a kona akaithou Yeshua, vana kona ahung ding ngah jinga uma nahiu thudol aseiyun ahi. Ama hin ahunglhung ding thutanna kichat umtah'a kona eihuhdoh u ahi.
