テサロニケ人への手紙第一 1

1 パウロ、シルワノ、テモテ、書を父なる神および主イエス・キリストにあるテサロニケ人の教會に贈る。願はくは恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。

PAULOS, and Sylvanos, and Timotheos, to the church of the Thesalonikoyee which (is) in Aloha the Father, and in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. Grace be with you and peace.

2 われら祈のときに汝らを憶えて、常に汝ら衆人のために神に感謝す。

We give thanks to Aloha at all time for you all and are mindful of you in our prayers constantly,

3 これ汝らが信仰のはたらき、愛の勞苦、主イエス・キリストに對する望の忍耐を、我らの父なる神の前に絶えず念ふに因りてなり。

and remember before Aloha the Father the works of your faith, and the labour of your love, and the perseverance of your hope, which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

4 神に愛せらるる兄弟よ、また汝らの選ばれたることを知るに因りてなり。

For we know your election, my brethren, beloved of Aloha,

5 それ我らの福音の汝らに至りしは、言にのみ由らず、能力と聖 靈と大なる確信とに由れり。且われらが汝らの中にありて汝らの爲に如何なる行爲をなししかは、汝らの知る所なり。

because our preaching was not in words only with you, but with power, and with the Spirit of Holiness, and with the persuasion of truth. Also you know how we were among you, on account of you;

6 かくて汝らは大なる患難のうちにも、聖 靈による喜悦をもて御言をうけ、我ら及び主に效ふ者となり、

and you became imitators of us and of our Lord, and you received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Spirit of Holiness,

7 而してマケドニヤ及びアカヤに在る凡ての信者の模範となれり。

and became an example to all the believers who are in Makedunia and in Akaia.

8 それは主のことば汝 等より出でて、啻にマケドニヤ及びアカヤに響きしのみならず、神に對する汝らの信仰のことは諸方に弘りたるなり。されば之に就きては何をも語るに及ばず。

For from you was made to be heard the word of our Lord, not only in Makedunia and in Akaia, but in every place your faith which is in Aloha was made to be heard, so that we have no need to say of you any thing.

9 人々 親しく我らが汝らの中に入りし状を告げ、また汝らが偶像を棄てて神に歸し、活ける眞の神に事へ、

For they learned what an entrance we had unto you, and how you turned to Aloha, from the fear of idols, to worship Aloha the living and the true;

10 神の死人の中より甦へらせ給ひし御子、すなはち我らを來らんとする怒より救ひ出すイエスの、天より降りたまふを待ち望むことを告ぐればなり。

awaiting his Son from heaven, Jeshu himself, whom he raised from among the dead, and who delivered us from the wrath that cometh.
