1 Thessalonians 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me]. [We(exc) are sending this letter] to [you who are] the congregation [of believers] in Thessalonica [city]. We [(inc)] all [worship] (OR, [trust in]) God [our] Father [MET] and [our] Lord Jesus Christ. [We three desire/pray that God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
ପାଉଲ, ସିଲ୍ୱାନ ଓ ତୀମଥି, ପିତା ଈଶ୍ବର ଓ ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କଠାରେ ଥିବା ଥେସଲନୀକୀ ସହରରେ ଥିବା ମଣ୍ଡଳୀ ନିକଟକୁ ପତ୍ର; ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ ଓ ଶାନ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ହେଉ।
2 We always thank God for you all [when] we mention you while we pray (OR, [when] we pray [for you]).
ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଈଶ୍ବର ଓ ପିତାଙ୍କ ଛାମୁରେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିଶ୍ୱାସର କର୍ମ, ପ୍ରେମର ପରିଶ୍ରମ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଭରସାର ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟ ବିଷୟ ନିରନ୍ତର ସ୍ମରଣ କରି,
3 [We thank God because] we continually remember that you work [for God because] you trust [in him] and you earnestly/energetically help people because you love them. You also endure [it when people cause you to suffer]. You endure it because you confidently expect that our Lord Jesus Christ [will soon return from heaven to rescue you]!
ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନାମ ଉଲ୍ଲେଖପୂର୍ବକ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସର୍ବଦା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ଦେଉଅଛୁ;
4 My fellow believers whom God loves, we [also thank him because] we know that he chose you [to become his people].
କାରଣ ହେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରିୟ ଭ୍ରାତୃବୃନ୍ଦ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମନୋନୀତ ଲୋକ,
5 We know that he chose you because [when] we told that message to you, we did not speak only words. The Holy Spirit [helped us to speak] powerfully/effectively, and he strongly assured [us that he was powerfully working in you by means of] the message [about Christ] that we [told to you. You yourselves know that], because you know how we spoke and how we conducted ourselves when we were with you, in order that [we might help] you.
ଯେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସୁସମାଚାର କେବଳ ବାକ୍ୟରେ ନୁହେଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଶକ୍ତି, ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା ଓ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ନିଶ୍ଚୟତା ସହ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୋଇଥିଲା ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଥିବା ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କି ପ୍ରକାର ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିଥିଲୁ, ତାହା ତ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣ।
6 We also [know that God chose you] because we have now heard that you have endured your troubles when [people] caused you to suffer very much [because you believed in Christ]. You endured just like the Lord [Jesus Christ] endured, and just like we did [when people caused us to suffer]. At that time you were joyful because the Holy Spirit caused you to be joyful.
ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ବହୁ କ୍ଲେଶ ଭୋଗ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଦତ୍ତ ଆନନ୍ଦ ସହ ସେହି ବାକ୍ୟ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଓ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଅନୁକାରୀ ହୋଇଥିଲ,
7 As a result [of your joyfully enduring your troubles], all the believers who live in Macedonia and Achaia [provinces have heard how firmly you trust God. So they know that they should firmly trust in God] as you do.
ଯେପରିକି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମାକିଦନିଆ ଓ ଆଖାୟା ନିବାସୀ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଶ୍ୱାସୀଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଆଦର୍ଶ ସ୍ୱରୂପ ହୋଇଥିଲ।
8 Other people have heard you tell the message [from] the Lord [Jesus]. Then they also have proclaimed the message to people who live throughout Macedonia and Achaia [provinces]. Not only that, but [people who live] in many far-away places [HYP] have heard that you trust in God. As a result, we do not need to tell people [what God has done in your lives].
କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ବାକ୍ୟ ଯେ କେବଳ ମାକିଦନିଆ ଓ ଆଖାୟାରେ ପ୍ରଚାରିତ ହୋଇଅଛି, ତାହା ନୁହେଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିଶ୍ୱାସର ବିଷୟ ସର୍ବତ୍ର ଏପରି ବ୍ୟାପ୍ତ ହୋଇଅଛି ଯେ, ସେ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର କିଛି କହିବା ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ନୁହେଁ।
9 People [who live far from you are telling others what happened when we were with you]. They also report that you stopped [worshipping things that] ([you/your ancestors]) [considered to be] gods and now you worship God. [As a result], you serve the God who is all-powerful and who is the real God.
ଯେଣୁ ଲୋକମାନେ ନିଜେ ନିଜେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ କହିଥାଆନ୍ତି ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟକୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଆଗମନ ସମୟରେ କଅଣ ଘଟିଥିଲା ଆଉ କିପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରତିମାସବୁ ପରିତ୍ୟାଗ କରି ଜୀବିତ ଓ ସତ୍ୟ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ସେବା କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ,
10 They tell us that now you wait expectantly for his Son [to return to earth] from heaven. You firmly believe that God caused him to live again after he died. You believe also that Jesus will rescue [all of] us, [who trust in him], from [God’s] punishing us [MTY].
ପୁଣି, ସେ ଆପଣା ଯେଉଁ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଉଠାଇଲେ, ଆଗାମୀ କ୍ରୋଧରୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସେହି ଉଦ୍ଧାରକର୍ତ୍ତା ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରୁ ଆଗମନ କରିବାର ଅପେକ୍ଷାରେ ରହିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଫେରିଲ।
