< 1 Thessalonians 1 >

1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me]. [We(exc) are sending this letter] to [you who are] the congregation [of believers] in Thessalonica [city]. We [(inc)] all [worship] (OR, [trust in]) God [our] Father [MET] and [our] Lord Jesus Christ. [We three desire/pray that God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
Mula kina Pablo, Silas, at Timoteo para sa iglesiya ng mga taga-Tesalonica sa Diyos Ama at sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaan.
2 We always thank God for you all [when] we mention you while we pray (OR, [when] we pray [for you]).
Lagi kaming nagpapasalamat sa Diyos para sa inyong lahat, habang binabanggit namin kayo sa aming mga panalangin.
3 [We thank God because] we continually remember that you work [for God because] you trust [in him] and you earnestly/energetically help people because you love them. You also endure [it when people cause you to suffer]. You endure it because you confidently expect that our Lord Jesus Christ [will soon return from heaven to rescue you]!
Inaalala namin ng walang tigil sa harapan ng Diyos at Ama ang inyong mga gawa ng pananampalataya, pagpapagal sa pag-ibig, at pagtitiyagang may pagtitiwala para sa hinaharap sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
4 My fellow believers whom God loves, we [also thank him because] we know that he chose you [to become his people].
Mga kapatid na iniibig ng Diyos, alam namin ang inyong pagkatawag,
5 We know that he chose you because [when] we told that message to you, we did not speak only words. The Holy Spirit [helped us to speak] powerfully/effectively, and he strongly assured [us that he was powerfully working in you by means of] the message [about Christ] that we [told to you. You yourselves know that], because you know how we spoke and how we conducted ourselves when we were with you, in order that [we might help] you.
kung paanong ang ating ebanghelyo ay dumating sa inyo na hindi lamang sa salita, ngunit gayon din sa kapangyarihan, sa Banal na Espiritu, at sa lubos na katiyakan. Gayon din naman, inyong nalalaman kung anong uri ng tao kami sa inyo para sa inyong kapakanan.
6 We also [know that God chose you] because we have now heard that you have endured your troubles when [people] caused you to suffer very much [because you believed in Christ]. You endured just like the Lord [Jesus Christ] endured, and just like we did [when people caused us to suffer]. At that time you were joyful because the Holy Spirit caused you to be joyful.
ninyo kami at ang Panginoon, gaya nga ng pagtanggap ninyo sa salita sa matinding paghihirap na may kagalakan mula sa Banal na Espiritu.
7 As a result [of your joyfully enduring your troubles], all the believers who live in Macedonia and Achaia [provinces have heard how firmly you trust God. So they know that they should firmly trust in God] as you do.
Bilang resulta, kayo ay naging halimbawa sa lahat ng mananampalataya sa Macedonia at Acaya.
8 Other people have heard you tell the message [from] the Lord [Jesus]. Then they also have proclaimed the message to people who live throughout Macedonia and Achaia [provinces]. Not only that, but [people who live] in many far-away places [HYP] have heard that you trust in God. As a result, we do not need to tell people [what God has done in your lives].
Sapagkat mula sa inyo ang salita ng Panginoon ay lumaganap, at hindi lamang sa Macedonia at Acaya. Kundi, sa lahat ng dako kung saan ang inyong pananampalataya sa Diyos ay naibalita. Bilang resulta, hindi na namin kailangang magsalita ng ano pa man.
9 People [who live far from you are telling others what happened when we were with you]. They also report that you stopped [worshipping things that] ([you/your ancestors]) [considered to be] gods and now you worship God. [As a result], you serve the God who is all-powerful and who is the real God.
Sapagkat sila mismo ang nagbalita kung paano kami dumating sa inyo. Kanilang sasabihin kung paano kayo nanumbalik sa Diyos mula sa mga diyus-diyosan upang maglingkod sa buhay at tunay na Diyos.
10 They tell us that now you wait expectantly for his Son [to return to earth] from heaven. You firmly believe that God caused him to live again after he died. You believe also that Jesus will rescue [all of] us, [who trust in him], from [God’s] punishing us [MTY].
Ibinalita nila na kayo ay naghihintay sa kaniyang Anak mula sa langit, na kaniyang ibinangon mula sa mga patay. Ito ay si Jesus, na nagpalaya sa atin mula sa poot na darating.
