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.

Paoly sy Silasy ary Timoty mamangy ny fiangonan’ ny Tesaloniana, izay ao amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo: ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana.

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

Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra mandrakariva izahay ny aminareo rehetra ka manonona anareo amin’ ny fivavahanay,

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.

sady tsy mitsahatra mahatsiaro ny asanareo amin’ ny finoana sy ny fikelezanareo aina amin’ ny fitiavana ary ny faharetanareo amin’ ny fanantenana an i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika eo imason’ Andriamanitra Raintsika;

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

fa fantatray, ry rahalahy malalan’ Andriamanitra, ny fifidianana anareo,

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.

fa ny filazantsaranay tsy tonga teo aminareo tamin’ ny teny ihany, fa tamin’ ny hery koa sy ny Fanahy Masìna ary ny fahatokiana be, araka ny ahafantaranareo izay toetry ny fitondran-tenanay teo aminareo noho ny aminareo.

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

Ary ianareo efa nanahaka anay sy ny Tompo, satria nandray ny teny tamin’ ny fahoriana be mbamin’ ny hafaliana avy amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna,

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

ka dia tonga fianarana ho an’ ny mino rehetra any Makedonia sy Akaia ianareo.

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.

Fa avy taminareo no nanenoan’ ny tenin’ ny Tompo, tsy tany Makedonia sy Akaia ihany, fa teny tontolo eny no nielezan’ ny lazan’ ny finoanareo an’ Andriamanitra, ka dia tsy misy holazainay intsony.

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,

Fa ireny ihany no milaza ny aminay, dia izay fidirana azonay ho atỳ aminareo sy ny nialanareo tamin’ ny sampy hiverenana amin’ Andriamanitra mba hanompo an’ Andriamanitra velona sy marina,

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

ary mba hiandry ny Zanany avy any an-danitra, Izay natsangany tamin’ ny maty, dia Jesosy, izay Mpanafaka antsika amin’ ny fahatezerana ho avy.
