1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

paulaḥ silvānastīmathiyaśca piturīśvarasya prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cāśrayaṁ prāptā thiṣalanīkīyasamitiṁ prati patraṁ likhanti| asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmān pratyanugrahaṁ śāntiñca kriyāstāṁ|

2 We always give thanks to God for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,

vayaṁ sarvveṣāṁ yuṣmākaṁ kṛte īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmaḥ prārthanāsamaye yuṣmākaṁ nāmoccārayāmaḥ,

3 unceasingly remembering your work of faith, and the labor of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

asmākaṁ tātasyeśvarasya sākṣāt prabhau yīśukhrīṣṭe yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsena yat kāryyaṁ premnā yaḥ pariśramaḥ pratyāśayā ca yā titikṣā jāyate

4 having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,

tat sarvvaṁ nirantaraṁ smarāmaśca| he piyabhrātaraḥ, yūyam īśvareṇābhirucitā lokā iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

5 because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as you have known of what sort we became among you for your sake,

yato'smākaṁ susaṁvādaḥ kevalaśabdena yuṣmān na praviśya śaktyā pavitreṇātmanā mahotsāhena ca yuṣmān prāviśat| vayantu yuṣmākaṁ kṛte yuṣmanmadhye kīdṛśā abhavāma tad yuṣmābhi rjñāyate|

6 and you became imitators of us and of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,

yūyamapi bahukleśabhogena pavitreṇātmanā dattenānandena ca vākyaṁ gṛhītvāsmākaṁ prabhoścānugāmino'bhavata|

7 so that you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,

tena mākidaniyākhāyādeśayo ryāvanto viśvāsino lokāḥ santi yūyaṁ teṣāṁ sarvveṣāṁ nidarśanasvarūpā jātāḥ|

8 for from you has sounded forth the word of the LORD, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God went forth, so that we have no need to say anything,

yato yuṣmattaḥ pratināditayā prabho rvāṇyā mākidaniyākhāyādeśau vyāptau kevalametannahi kintvīśvare yuṣmākaṁ yo viśvāsastasya vārttā sarvvatrāśrāvi, tasmāt tatra vākyakathanam asmākaṁ niṣprayojanaṁ|

9 for they themselves declare concerning us what entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,

yato yuṣmanmadhye vayaṁ kīdṛśaṁ praveśaṁ prāptā yūyañca kathaṁ pratimā vihāyeśvaraṁ pratyāvarttadhvam amaraṁ satyamīśvaraṁ sevituṁ

10 and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

mṛtagaṇamadhyācca tenotthāpitasya putrasyārthata āgāmikrodhād asmākaṁ nistārayitu ryīśoḥ svargād āgamanaṁ pratīkṣitum ārabhadhvam etat sarvvaṁ te lokāḥ svayam asmān jñāpayanti|
