Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Toe nawkamyanawk, atue hoi aninawk nangcae khaeah ka tarik han angai ai.
1But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
2Angraeng ih ni loe aqum ah angzo kamqu baktiah angzo tih, tito kamtueng ah na panoek o boeh.
2For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3Nihcae mah misa amdinghaih hoi khosak hoihaih ka tawnh o boeh, tiah thuih o pongah, poek ai pui hoiah zokpomh nongpata nuiah kaom nathaih baktiah nihcae nuiah amrohaih to pha tih, nihcae loe loih o thai mak ai.
3For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.
4Toe nawkamyanawk, nangcae loe khoving thungah kaom kami ai pongah, hae tiah tamquta hoi kangzo Ani mah na kae o ma kai.
4But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5Nangcae loe aanghaih caa, khodai ih caa ah ni na oh o boih: aicae loe khoving kami na ai ni, aqum ih kami ah doeh a om o ai.
5You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
6To pongah aicae loe minawk baktiah iip o hmah si; hakhaih hoiah zing o si.
6so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
7Iip kaminawk loe khoving ah ni iih o; mu paqui kaminawk doeh khoving ah ni paqui o.
7For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
8Toe aicae loe khodai caa ah a oh o pongah, tanghaih hoi amlunghaih ah kaom saoek padaphaih aphaw to angkhuk o si loe, pahlong hanah oephaih ah kaom lumuek angmuekhaih hoiah pakaa o si.
8But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9Sithaw palungphuihaih aicae nuiah kraih hanah aicae to qoi ai, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri rang hoiah pahlonghaih a hnuk o han ih ni ang qoih,
9For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10aicae a hak o maw, to tih ai boeh loe a iih o maw, Angmah hoi nawnto a hingh o thai hanah, Anih loe aicae zuengah duek.
10who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11To pongah vaihi na sak o ih baktih toengah, maeto hoi maeto tha angpaek oh loe, hmacawn hanah maeto hoi maeto angbomh oh.
11Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
12Nawkamyanawk, nangcae salakah Angraeng toksah kami, nangcae zaehoikung hoi thuitaekkungnawk na pahnet o han ai ah kang pacae o;
12But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
13a sak o ih tok pongah amlunghaih hoi khingyahaih to paek oh. Maeto hoi maeto angdaehhaih hoiah khosah oh.
13and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14Nawkamyanawk, zaehhoihhaih daan baktiah khosah ai kaminawk to thuitaek oh, poek cak ai kaminawk to thapaek oh loe, thahnaem kaminawk to abomh oh, kami boih nuiah palungsawkhaih na tawnh o thai hanah tha kang paek o.
14We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.
15Mi khaeah doeh zaehaih to zaehaih baktiah pathok o hmah; nangmacae hoi kaminawk boih salakah kahoih hmuen sak han patom oh.
15See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.
16Anghoe o poe ah.
16Always rejoice.
17Boeng ai ah lawkthui oh.
17Pray without ceasing.
18Hmuen boih ah kawnhaih lawk to thui oh: hae loe nangcae han Kri Jesu ah Sithaw koehhaih ah oh.
18In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
19Muithla to paduek o hmah.
19Don’t quench the Spirit.
20Lok taphonghaih to patoek o hmah.
20Don’t despise prophecies.
21Tih boih tanoek oh loe, kahoih to kacakah tapom oh.
21Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
22Kahoih ai hmuennawk boih to ayae oh.
22Abstain from every form of evil.
23Angdaehhaih Sithaw angmah roe na ciimcai o sak boih nasoe; aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri angzoh naah, nangcae ih muithla, poekhaih palungthin hoi takpum boih coek koi om ai ah suem nasoe.
23May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24Nangcae kawkkung Anih loe oepthoh, sah doeh sah tangtang tih.
24He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
25Nawkamyanawk, kaicae han lawk na thui pae oh.
25Brothers, pray for us.
26Nawkamyanawk boih kaciim mokhaih hoiah ban angsin oh.
26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27Hae ca hae kaciim nawkamyanawk boih khaeah kroek pae hanah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah kang pacae o.
27I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
28Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri tahmenhaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe. Amen.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
