1 تسالونيكي 1

١ 1 مِنْ بُولُسَ وَسِلْوَانُسَ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسَ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ مُؤْمِنِي تَسَالُونِيكِي الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace.

٢ 2 إِنَّنَا نَشْكُرُ اللهَ دَائِماً مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ جَمِيعاً، إِذْ نَذْكُرُكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِنَا دُونَ تَوَقُّفٍ؛

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,

٣ 3 مُتَذَكِّرِينَ، أَمَامَ إِلَهِنَا وَأَبِينَا، مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ عَمَلِ الإِيمَانِ وَاجْتِهَادِ الْمَحَبَّةِ وَثَبَاتِ الرَّجَاءِ، فِي رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ؛

remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and perseverance in the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before God our Father;

٤ 4 وَنَحْنُ عَالِمُونَ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَحِبَّاءَ اللهِ، حَقِيقَةَ اخْتِيَارِكُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللهِ:

since we know, brethren beloved of God, that he hath chosen you;

٥ 5 لأَنَّ تَبْشِيرَنَا لَكُمْ بِالإِنْجِيلِ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُجَرَّدَ كَلامٍ، بَلْ كَانَ مَصْحُوباً أَيْضاً بِالْقُوَّةِ وَبِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَبِتَمَامِ الْيَقِينِ. كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ تَمَاماً مَاذَا كُنَّا بَيْنَكُمْ لأَجْلِ مَصْلَحَتِكُمْ،

because the gospel preached by us came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye well know what sort of persons we became among you for your sake.

٦ 6 وَقَدْ صِرْتُمْ مُقْتَدِينَ بِنَا وَبِالرَّبِّ، إِذْ تَقَبَّلْتُمْ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ فِي وَسَطِ ضِيقَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ بِفَرَحِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ.

And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy from the Holy Spirit;

٧ 7 حَتَّى إِنَّكُمْ صِرْتُمْ مِثَالاً لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُقَاطَعَتَيْ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ.

so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

٨ 8 فَمِنْ عِنْدِكُمْ دَوَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ، مُنْتَشِرَةً لَا فِي مَقِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ إِنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ بِاللهِ ذَاعَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، حَتَّى لَيْسَ لَنَا حَاجَةٌ لأَنْ نَقُولَ شَيْئاً بَعْدُ.

For from you the word of the Lord hath sounded forth not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God hath become known; so that we need not say anything [[about you]].

٩ 9 فَإِنَّ أُولئِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ عَنَّا كَيْفَ كَانَ قُدُومُنَا إِلَيْكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ، وَكَيْفَ تَحَوَّلْتُمْ إِلَى اللهِ عَنِ الأَصْنَامِ، لِتَصِيرُوا عَبِيداً يَخْدِمُونَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ الْحَقَّ،

For they themselves are reporting concerning us what kind of reception we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,

١٠ 10 وَتَنْتَظِرُوا مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ ابْنَهُ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، يَسُوعَ مُخَلِّصَنَا مِنَ الْغَضَبِ الآتِي.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the coming wrath.
