١ تسالونيكي 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ وَسِلْوَانُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ ٱلتَّسَالُونِيكِيِّينَ، فِي ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

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

٢ 2 نَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، ذَاكِرِينَ إِيَّاكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِنَا،

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;

٣ 3 مُتَذَكِّرِينَ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ عَمَلَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَتَعَبَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ، وَصَبْرَ رَجَائِكُمْ، رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، أَمَامَ ٱللهِ وَأَبِينَا.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labour of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

٤ 4 عَالِمِينَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱخْتِيَارَكُمْ،

knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

٥ 5 أَنَّ إِنْجِيلَنَا لَمْ يَصِرْ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَلَامِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ بِٱلْقُوَّةِ أَيْضًا، وَبِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَبِيَقِينٍ شَدِيدٍ، كَمَا تَعْرِفُونَ أَيَّ رِجَالٍ كُنَّا بَيْنَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we shewed ourselves toward you for your sake.

٦ 6 وَأَنْتُمْ صِرْتُمْ مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِنَا وَبِالرَّبِّ، إِذْ قَبِلْتُمُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فِي ضِيقٍ كَثِيرٍ، بِفَرَحِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ،

And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost;

٧ 7 حَتَّى صِرْتُمْ قُدْوَةً لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَفِي أَخَائِيَةَ.

so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِكُمْ قَدْ أُذِيعَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَيْسَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَيْضًا قَدْ ذَاعَ إِيمَانُكُمْ بِٱللهِ، حَتَّى لَيْسَ لَنَا حَاجَةٌ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ شَيْئًا.

For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ عَنَّا، أَيُّ دُخُولٍ كَانَ لَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ، وَكَيْفَ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، لِتَعْبُدُوا ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّ،

For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

١٠ 10 وَتَنْتَظِرُوا ٱبْنَهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِي يُنْقِذُنَا مِنَ ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱلْآتِي.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivereth us from the wrath to come.
