1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto 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 give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of 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 labour of love, (agape) and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our 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 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
Fohi’ay ry roahalahy kokoan’ Añahareo, te jinobo’e,
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word (logos) only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and in much assurance; as all of you know what manner of men we were 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 And all of you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word (logos) in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
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 all of you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
Aa le nitsikombea’ ze hene mpiato e Makedonia naho Akaia añe.
8 For from you sounded out the word (logos) of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
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 show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how all of you turned to God from idols to serve the 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, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
vaho mandiñe i Ana’e andindìñey, i natroa’e an-kavilasiy—Iesoà mpañaha antika amy haviñerañe ho aviy.
