1 Paulus og Silvanus og Timotheus til Thessalonikernes Menighed i Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus:
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ;
2 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Vi ere skyldige altid at takke Gud for eder, Brødre! som tilbørligt er, fordi eders Tro vokser overmaade, og den indbyrdes Kærlighed forøges hos hver enkelt af eder alle,
We ought always to give thanks to God on your account, my brethren, as it is fit; because your faith increaseth greatly, and the love of every one of you towards each other aboundeth:
4 saa at vi selv rose os af eder i Guds Menigheder for eders Udholdenhed og Tro under alle eders Forfølgelser og de Trængsler, som I udstaa,
so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God, for your patience and faith under all your persecutions and afflictions which ye endure.
5 et Bevis paa Guds retfærdige Dom, for at I kunne agtes værdige til Guds Rige, for hvilket I ogsaa lide;
Which are a demonstration of the just judgement of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 hvis ellers det er retfærdigt for Gud at give dem Trængsel til Gengæld, som trænge eder,
seeing it is a righteous thing with God to render affliction to those that afflict you;
7 og eder, som trænges, Hvile med os ved den Herres Jesu Aabenbarelse fra Himmelen med sin Krafts Engle,
and to you, who are in trouble, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven,
8 med Lueild, naar han tager Hævn over dem, som ikke kende Gud, og over dem, som ikke lyde vor Herres Jesu Evangelium,
with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 de, som jo skulle lide Straf, evig Undergang bort fra Herrens Ansigt og fra hans Vældes Herlighed, (aiōnios g166)
who shall be punished with everlasting destruction, by the presence of the Lord and by his glorious power: (aiōnios g166)
10 naar han kommer for paa hin Dag at herliggøres i sine hellige og beundres i alle dem, som have troet; thi troet blev vort Vidnesbyrd til eder.
in that day, when He shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe; because our testimony among you was believed.
11 Derfor bede vi ogsaa altid for eder, at vor Gud vil agte eder Kaldelsen værdige og med Kraft fuldkomme al Lyst til det gode og Troens Gerning,
Wherefore we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 for at vor Herres Jesu Navn maa herliggøres i eder, og I i ham, efter vor Guds og den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade.
that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
