1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Od Pavla i Silvana i Timotija crkvi Solunskoj u Bogu ocu i Gospodu Isusu Hristu: blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.

2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

Zahvaljujemo Bogu svagda za sve vas spominjuæi vas u molitvama svojima,

3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

I spominjuæi bez prestanka vaše djelo vjere, i trud ljubavi, i trpljenje nada Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista, pred Bogom i ocem našijem,

4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

Znajuæi, braæo ljubazna, od Boga izbor vaš.

5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

Jer jevanðelje naše ne bi k vama samo u rijeèi nego i u sili i u Duhu svetome, i u velikom priznanju, kao što znate kakovi bismo meðu vama vas radi.

6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

I vi se ugledaste na nas i na Gospoda primivši rijeè u velikoj nevolji s radošæu Duha svetoga,

7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Tako da postadoste ugled svima koji vjeruju u Maæedoniji i u Ahaji.

8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.

Jer se od vas promèe rijeè Gospodnja ne samo u Maæedoniji i Ahaji, nego i u svako mjesto iziðe vjera vaša u Boga tako da nam nije trijebe što govoriti.

9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

Jer oni obznanjuju za vas kakav ulazak imasmo k vama, i kako se obratiste Bogu od idola, da služite Bogu živu i istinu,

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

I da èekate sina njegova s nebesa kojega vaskrse iz mrtvijeh, Isusa, koji nas izbavlja od gnjeva koji æe doæi.
