1 Paulus og Silvanus og Timotheus til Thessalonikernes Menighed i Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus:
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and 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 to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;
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 do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;
5 et Bevis paa Guds retfærdige Dom, for at I kunne agtes værdige til Guds Rige, for hvilket I ogsaa lide;
a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,
6 hvis ellers det er retfærdigt for Gud at give dem Trængsel til Gengæld, som trænge eder,
since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you — trouble,
7 og eder, som trænges, Hvile med os ved den Herres Jesu Aabenbarelse fra Himmelen med sin Krafts Engle,
and to you who are troubled — rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,
8 med Lueild, naar han tager Hævn over dem, som ikke kende Gud, og over dem, som ikke lyde vor Herres Jesu Evangelium,
in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news 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 suffer justice — destruction age-during — from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength, (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.
when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing — because our testimony was believed among you — in that day;
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,
for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in 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 Lord Jesus Christ.
