1 Thessalonians 1

1 Pavl, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, vnto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father, and in the Lord Iesus Christ: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

Pavao, Silvan i Timotej Crkvi Solunjana u Bogu Ocu i Gospodinu Isusu Kristu. Milost vam i mir!

2 We giue God thankes alwayes for you all, making mention of you in our prayers

Zahvaljujemo uvijek Bogu za sve vas i bez prestanka vas se sjećamo u svojim molitvama

3 Without ceasing, remembring your effectuall faith, and diligent loue, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Iesus Christ, in the sight of God euen our Father,

spominjući se vaše djelotvorne vjere, zauzete ljubavi i postojane nade u Gospodinu našem Isusu Kristu, pred Bogom i Ocem našim.

4 Knowing, beloued brethren, that ye are elect of God.

Svjesni smo, braćo od Boga ljubljena, vašeg izabranja

5 For our Gospell was not vnto you in worde only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much assurance, as ye know after what maner we were among you for your sakes.

jer evanđelje naše nije k vama došlo samo u riječi nego i u snazi, u Duhu Svetome i mnogostrukoj punini. Takvi smo, kao što znate, poradi vas među vama bili.

6 And ye became followers of vs, and of the Lord, and receiued the worde in much affliction, with ioy of the holy Ghost,

I vi postadoste nasljedovatelji naši i Gospodinovi: sve u nevolji mnogoj prigrliste Riječ s radošću Duha Svetoga

7 So that ye were as ensamples to all that beleeue in Macedonia and in Achaia.

tako da postadoste uzorom svim vjernicima u Makedoniji i Ahaji.

8 For from you sounded out the worde of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which is toward God, spred abroad in all quarters, that we neede not to speake any thing.

Od vas je doista ne samo riječ Gospodnja odjeknula po Makedoniji i Ahaji, nego se i vaša vjera u Boga posvuda tako proširila te nije potrebno da o tome govorimo.

9 For they themselues shew of vs what maner of entring in we had vnto you, and how ye turned to God from idoles, to serue the liuing and true God,

Oni sami o nama pripovijedaju: kako dođosmo k vama, kako se od idola obratiste k Bogu da biste služili Bogu živomu i istinskomu

10 And to looke for his sonne from heauen, whome he raised from the dead, euen Iesus which deliuereth vs from that wrath to come.

i iščekivali s nebesa Sina njegova koga uskrisi od mrtvih, Isusa koji nas izbavlja od gnjeva što dolazi.
