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.
Paul, Silas le Timothy ngei renga, Pa Pathien le Pumapa Jisua Khrista ta Thessalonika koiindang sûnga mingei kôm: Moroina le inngêina ninta nirese.
2 We always thank God for you all [when] we mention you while we pray (OR, [when] we pray [for you]).
Kin chubaithonangeia han nin riming ralamin, nin rênga rangin Pathien kôm râisânchong kin misîr tit ngâi.
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]!
Pathien le Pa mitmua, taksônna sika nin sintho tie ngei, lungkhamna sika nin sinrât tie ngei, ei Pumapa Jisua Khrista nin sabeina chunga nin det ngei hah mingil loiin kin riettit sikin.
4 My fellow believers whom God loves, we [also thank him because] we know that he chose you [to become his people].
Kin ruolngei, Pathien nangni lungkham ngâia male ata ni rangin nangni a thang zoi ani ti kin riet.
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.
Thurchi Sa hah chongbâingei vaiin hong mintung mak mea, sinthotheina leh Ratha Inthieng leh a chongtak iemna dettak leh kin hong mintung ani. Nin kôm kin om lâia kin nunchan hah nin riet; nangni nin satna rang rokin kin om ngâi ani.
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.
Keini le Pumapa entonin mi nin dôna; male intak nin tuong sabak lâi khomin Ratha Inthieng renga râisânna thurchi ajuong ngâi ha nin lei modôm ani.
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.
Masikin Macedonia le Achaia rama iempungei murdi ta rangin minenna nin hongni zoi.
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].
Pumapa thurchi hah nangni renga Macedonia le Achaia rama ânthang vai niloiin, Pathien chunga nin taksônna thurchi khom muntina ânthang sa zoia; hanchu, kei nin ite kin misîr uol nâng khâi mak.
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.
Ha mingei han nangni kin hongpan zorân mi nin lei modôm ngâi ngei le mirmilngei renga Pathien tieng nin hônheia, Pathien adiktak le aring sin tho rangin
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].
le a Nâipasal Jisua thina renga a kaithoia, taksina juongtung rang renga mi kêlsuo ngâipu hah invân renga a juong rang nin lei ngâk tie khom an misîr ngâi.
