1 Thessalonians 1

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

ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܤܠܘܢܘܤ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܤ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܝܐ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ

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

ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܕܟܪܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ

3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, before our God and Father.

ܘܥܗܕܝܢܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܡܠܐ ܕܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܕܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܚܒܝܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ

5 and that our gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of persons we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

ܡܛܠ ܕܡܤܒܪܢܘܬܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܘܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܒܦܝܤܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ

6 You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢ ܐܬܕܡܝܬܘܢ ܘܒܡܪܢ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ

7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܐܟܐܝܐ

8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we do not need to say anything.

ܡܢܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܐܟܐܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܬܢܩ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܕܡ

9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

ܗܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܬܥܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܡܥܠܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܦܢܝܬܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܬܦܠܚܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܘܫܪܝܪܐ

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

ܟܕ ܡܤܟܝܬܘܢ ܠܒܪܗ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܦܨܐ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܕܐܬܐ
