Первое послание к Фессалоникийцам 1
1 Павел и Силуан и Тимофей церкви Солунстей о Бозе Отце и Господе Иисусе Христе: благодать вам и мир от Бога Отца нашего и Господа Иисуса Христа.
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.
2 Благодарим Бога всегда о всех вас, поминание о вас творяще в молитвах наших,
We always give thanks to God for all of you, as we mention you in our prayers.
3 непрестанно поминающе ваше дело веры, и труд любве, и терпение упования Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, пред Богом и Отцем нашим,
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.
4 ведяще, братие возлюбленная, от Бога избрание ваше:
Brothers loved by God, we know he has chosen you,
5 яко благовествование наше не бысть к вам в слове точию, но и в силе, и в Дусе Святе, и во извещении мнозе, якоже и весте, какови быхом в вас ради вас.
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.
6 И вы подобницы бысте нам и Господу, приемше слово в скорби мнозе с радостию Духа Святаго,
You became imitators of us and of the Lord, as you received the word in much hardship with joy from the Holy Spirit.
7 яко быти вам образ всем верующым в Македонии и Ахаии.
As a result, you became an example to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.
8 От вас бо промчеся слово Господне не токмо в Македонии и Ахаии, но и во всяко место вера ваша, яже к Богу, изыде, яко не требовати нам глаголати что.
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.
9 Тии бо о нас возвещают, каков вход имехом к вам, и како обратистеся к Богу от идол, работати Богу живу и истинну
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.
10 и ждати Сына Его с небес, Егоже воскреси из мертвых, Иисуса, избавляющаго нас от гнева грядущаго.
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.
