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 in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

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؛

Incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

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

knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

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،

For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much certainty; as ye know what sort of persons we were among you for your sakes.

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 tho' in much affliction, yet with joy of the holy Ghost.

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

So that ye became examples to all the believers in Macedonia and 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 the word of the Lord sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia; but also in every place your faith towards God is spread abroad, so that we have no need to say any thing of it.

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 declare concerning us what kind of entrance 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 wrath to come.
