1 Thessalonians 1

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

Od Pavla i Silvana i Timotija crkvi Solunskoj u Bogu ocu i Gospodu Isusu Hristu: blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.

2 We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers

Zahvaljujemo Bogu svagda za sve vas spominjuæi vas u molitvama svojima,

3 and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

I spominjuæi bez prestanka vaše djelo vjere, i trud ljubavi, i trpljenje nada Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista, pred Bogom i ocem našijem,

4 Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,

Znajuæi, braæo ljubazna, od Boga izbor vaš.

5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.

Jer jevanðelje naše ne bi k vama samo u rijeèi nego i u sili i u Duhu svetome, i u velikom priznanju, kao što znate kakovi bismo meðu vama vas radi.

6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

I vi se ugledaste na nas i na Gospoda primivši rijeè u velikoj nevolji s radošæu Duha svetoga,

7 As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

Tako da postadoste ugled svima koji vjeruju u Maæedoniji i u Ahaji.

8 For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

Jer se od vas promèe rijeè Gospodnja ne samo u Maæedoniji i Ahaji, nego i u svako mjesto iziðe vjera vaša u Boga tako da nam nije trijebe što govoriti.

9 For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God

Jer oni obznanjuju za vas kakav ulazak imasmo k vama, i kako se obratiste Bogu od idola, da služite Bogu živu i istinu,

10 and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.

I da èekate sina njegova s nebesa kojega vaskrse iz mrtvijeh, Isusa, koji nas izbavlja od gnjeva koji æe doæi.
