1 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy—unto the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, —favour unto you, and peace!
Pavel in Silván ter Timótej cerkvi Tesaloníčanov, ki je v Bogu Očetu in v Gospodu Jezusu Kristusu: ›Milost bodi vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹
2 We are giving thanks unto God continually, concerning you all, making, mention, in our prayers,
Vedno se za vas vse zahvaljujemo Bogu in vas omenjamo v svojih molitvah,
3 Unceasingly, remembering—your work of faith and labour of love and endurance of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:
ko se brez prenehanja spominjamo vašega dela vere in truda ljubezni ter potrpežljivosti upanja v našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, pred očmi Boga in našega Očeta;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election, —
ker poznamo, ljubljeni bratje, vašo izvolitev od Boga.
5 How that, our glad-message, came not unto you, in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, —even as ye know what manner of men we became unto you, for your sake;
Kajti naš evangelij ni prišel k vam samo v besedi, temveč tudi v moči in v Svetem Duhu in v precejšnjem zagotovilu; kakor veste, kakšne vrste ljudje smo bili med vami zaradi vas.
6 And, ye, became, imitators of us, and of the Lord, giving welcome unto the word, in much tribulation, with joy of Holy Spirit;
In vi ste postali naši in Gospodovi sledilci, ker ste besedo sprejeli v veliki stiski, z veseljem Svetega Duha,
7 So that ye became an ensample unto all who were coming to the faith, in Macedonia and in Achaia:
tako da ste bili zgledi vsem, ki verujejo v Makedoniji in Ahaji.
8 From you, in fact, hath sounded forth the word of the Lord—not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but, in every place, your faith which is toward God, hath gone forth, so that, no need, have we to be saying anything;
Kajti od vas je odmevala Gospodova beseda ne samo po Makedoniji in Ahaji, temveč se je vaša, do Boga usmerjena vera, razširila tudi naokoli, po vsakem kraju; tako da nam ni treba karkoli govoriti,
9 For, they themselves, concerning us, do tell—what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from the idols—to be serving a living and true God,
kajti oni sami so o nas prikazali kakšne vrste prihod smo imeli k vam in kako ste se od malikov obrnili k Bogu, da služite živemu in resničnemu Bogu;
10 And awaiting his Son out of the heavens—whom he raised from among the dead, —Jesus: Who is to rescue us out of the anger that is coming.
in da čakate na njegovega Sina iz nebes, ki ga je obudil od mrtvih, celó Jezusa, ki nas je osvobodil pred besom, ki pride.
