1 Thessalonians 1

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

١ بُولُسُ وَسِلْوَانُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ ٱلتَّسَالُونِيكِيِّينَ، فِي ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

2 We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;

٢ نَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، ذَاكِرِينَ إِيَّاكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِنَا،

3 Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

٣ مُتَذَكِّرِينَ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ عَمَلَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَتَعَبَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ، وَصَبْرَ رَجَائِكُمْ، رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، أَمَامَ ٱللهِ وَأَبِينَا.

4 Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;

٤ عَالِمِينَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱخْتِيَارَكُمْ،

5 Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

٥ أَنَّ إِنْجِيلَنَا لَمْ يَصِرْ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَلَامِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ بِٱلْقُوَّةِ أَيْضًا، وَبِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَبِيَقِينٍ شَدِيدٍ، كَمَا تَعْرِفُونَ أَيَّ رِجَالٍ كُنَّا بَيْنَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

6 And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

٦ وَأَنْتُمْ صِرْتُمْ مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِنَا وَبِالرَّبِّ، إِذْ قَبِلْتُمُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فِي ضِيقٍ كَثِيرٍ، بِفَرَحِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ،

7 So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

٧ حَتَّى صِرْتُمْ قُدْوَةً لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَفِي أَخَائِيَةَ.

8 For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

٨ لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِكُمْ قَدْ أُذِيعَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَيْسَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَيْضًا قَدْ ذَاعَ إِيمَانُكُمْ بِٱللهِ، حَتَّى لَيْسَ لَنَا حَاجَةٌ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ شَيْئًا.

9 For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

٩ لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ عَنَّا، أَيُّ دُخُولٍ كَانَ لَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ، وَكَيْفَ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، لِتَعْبُدُوا ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّ،

10 Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

١٠ وَتَنْتَظِرُوا ٱبْنَهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِي يُنْقِذُنَا مِنَ ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱلْآتِي.
