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, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be to you.

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

We always give thanks to God for all of you, as we mention you in our prayers.

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

We remember without ceasing before our God and Father your work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

٤ 4 عَالِمِينَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱخْتِيَارَكُمْ،

Brothers loved by God, we know he has chosen you,

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

because our gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance. In the same way, you also know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.

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

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, as you received the word in much hardship with joy from the Holy Spirit.

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

As a result, you became an example to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.

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 the word of the Lord has rung out, and not only in Macedonia and Achaia—everywhere your faith in God has gone out. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it.

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 what kind of coming we had among you. They tell how you turned to God from the idols to serve the living and true God.

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

They report that you are waiting for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead. This is Jesus, who frees us from the wrath to come.
