1 Tessalonikerne 1

1 Paulus og Silvanus og Timotheus til Thessalonikernes Menighed i Gud Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus. Nåde være med eder og Fred!

PAULOS, and Sylvanos, and Timotheos, to the church of the Thesalonikoyee which (is) in Aloha the Father, and in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. Grace be with you and peace.

2 Vi takke Gud altid for eder alle, når vi komme eder i Hu i vore Bønner,

We give thanks to Aloha at all time for you all and are mindful of you in our prayers constantly,

3 idet vi uafladelig mindes eders Gerning i Troen og eders Arbejde i Kærligheden og eders Udholdenhed i Håbet på vor Herre Jesus Kristus for vor Guds og Faders Åsyn,

and remember before Aloha the Father the works of your faith, and the labour of your love, and the perseverance of your hope, which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

4 efterdi vi kende eders Udvælgelse, I af Gud elskede Brødre,

For we know your election, my brethren, beloved of Aloha,

5 at vort Evangelium ikke kom til eder i Ord alene, men også i Kraft og i den Helligånd og i fuld Overbevisning, som I jo vide, hvorledes vi færdedes iblandt eder for eders Skyld.

because our preaching was not in words only with you, but with power, and with the Spirit of Holiness, and with the persuasion of truth. Also you know how we were among you, on account of you;

6 Og I ere blevne vore Efterfølgere, ja, Herrens, idet I modtoge Ordet under megen Trængsel med Glæde i den Helligånd,

and you became imitators of us and of our Lord, and you received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Spirit of Holiness,

7 så at I ere blevne et Forbillede for alle de troende i Makedonien og Akaja;

and became an example to all the believers who are in Makedunia and in Akaia.

8 thi fra eder har Herrens Ord lydt ud, ikke alene i Makedonien og Akaja, men alle Vegne er eders Tro på Gud kommen ud, så at vi ikke have nødig at tale derom.

For from you was made to be heard the word of our Lord, not only in Makedunia and in Akaia, but in every place your faith which is in Aloha was made to be heard, so that we have no need to say of you any thing.

9 Thi de forkynde selv om os, hvordan en Indgang vi vandt hos eder, og hvorledes I vendte om til Gud fra Afguderne for at tjene den levende og sande Gud

For they learned what an entrance we had unto you, and how you turned to Aloha, from the fear of idols, to worship Aloha the living and the true;

10 og vente på hans Søn fra Himlene, hvem han oprejste fra de døde, Jesus, som frier os fra den kommende Vrede.

awaiting his Son from heaven, Jeshu himself, whom he raised from among the dead, and who delivered us from the wrath that cometh.
