1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Silas and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace.
Pavel in Silvan in Timotej občini Tesaloničanov v Bogu očetu in Gospodu Jezusu Kristusu; milost vam in mir od Boga očeta našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa!
2 I am continually thanking God for all, always making mention of you in my prayers,
Zahvaljujemo se Bogu vedno za vas vse, spominjajoč se vas v molitvah svojih,
3 as I call to mind your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father.
Neprestano spominjajoč se dela vašega v veri in truda v ljubezni, in stanovitnosti v tipanji Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa, pred Bogom in očetom našim;
4 For I know, O brothers, beloved of God, that he has chosen you;
Vedóč, bratje ljubljeni od Boga, za izvoljenje vaše;
5 for my gospel did not come to you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. For you know also the manner in which I behaved myself among you for your sakes.
Da evangelj naš ni prišel samo v besedi do vas, nego tudi v moči in v Duhu svetem, in v mnogem prepričanji, kakor veste, kakošni smo med vami postali za vas.
6 Moreover, you began to follow the pattern I set you, and the Lord’s also, receiving the word with joy in the Holy Spirit, although amid severe persecution.
In vi ste postali posnemalci naši in Gospodovi, sprejemši besedo, v mnogi stiski z veseljem Duha svetega,
7 Thus you became a pattern to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
Tako da ste postali zgled vsem verujočim v Macedoniji in Ahaji.
8 For the word of the Lord has been sounded forth from you, and its sound has been heard not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place where the tidings of your faith toward God have been spread abroad, so that I have no need to speak of it.
Kajti od vas je zadonela beseda Gospodova ne samo po Macedoniji in Ahaji, nego tudi v vsakem kraji razširila se je vaša vera v Boga, tako da nam ni treba kaj govoriti.
9 For others, of their own accord, tell about the welcome I had from you, and how you turned to God from your idols, to be slaved of a true and living God,
Kajti sami oznanjajo za nas, kak smo imeli prihod k vam, in kako ste se obrnili k Bogu od malikov, služit Bogu živemu in resničnemu,
10 and to await for the coming of his Son from the heavens, the Son whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, our Deliverer from the wrath to come.
In čakat sina njegovega iz nebés, katerega je zbudil izmed mrtvih, Jezusa, ki nas rešuje jeze prihodnje.
