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.
I Paoly naho i Silasy vaho i Timoty, Ho ami’ty Fivori’ o nte-Tesalonika aman’ Añahare Rae naho i Talè Iesoà Norizañeio: Fierañerañañe naho Fañanintsiñe
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
Andriañe’ay nainai’e t’Andrianañahare ty ama’ areo iaby, manoñoñe anahareo amo halali’aio;
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.
le tiahi’ay lomoñandro ty fitoloña’ areo am-patokisañe naho ty fitromaha’ areo aman-koko naho ty figahiña’ areo mitamà i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey añatrefan’ Añahare Raen-tika.
4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
Fohi’ay ry roahalahy kokoan’ Añahareo, te jinobo’e,
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 tsy nitotsake ama’ areo an-tsara avao i talili-soa’aiy; fa aman-kaozara’ i Arofo Masiñey vaho am-pireketan-tro añoñe. Fohi’ areo ka ty fañaveloa’ay ama’ areo.
6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
Toe nitsikombe anay naho i Talè nahareo; fa ndra te nanjoan-kaloviloviañe, le rinambe’ areo an-kafalea’ i Arofo Masiñey i tsaray.
7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
Aa le nitsikombea’ ze hene mpiato e Makedonia naho Akaia añe.
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.
Le tsy e Makedonia naho e Akaia añe avao ty nampiboelea’ areo ty saontsi’ i Talè, fa toe nikatsakatsake an-toets’ aia’ aia o fatokisa’ areo an’ Andrianañahareo vaho tsy anovoña’ay rehake,
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 italilia’ iareo ty hasoam-pampihovà’ areo anay, ie nitolik’ aman’ Añahare naho niamboho ami’ty fahasive, mitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare veloñe naho to,
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
vaho mandiñe i Ana’e andindìñey, i natroa’e an-kavilasiy—Iesoà mpañaha antika amy haviñerañe ho aviy.
