1 Tesaloniana 1

1 Paoly sy Silasy ary Timoty mamangy ny fiangonan’ ny Tesaloniana, izay ao amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo: ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana.

Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

2 Misaotra an’ Andriamanitra mandrakariva izahay ny aminareo rehetra ka manonona anareo amin’ ny fivavahanay,

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

3 sady tsy mitsahatra mahatsiaro ny asanareo amin’ ny finoana sy ny fikelezanareo aina amin’ ny fitiavana ary ny faharetanareo amin’ ny fanantenana an i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika eo imason’ Andriamanitra Raintsika;

remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

4 fa fantatray, ry rahalahy malalan’ Andriamanitra, ny fifidianana anareo,

knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

5 fa ny filazantsaranay tsy tonga teo aminareo tamin’ ny teny ihany, fa tamin’ ny hery koa sy ny Fanahy Masìna ary ny fahatokiana be, araka ny ahafantaranareo izay toetry ny fitondran-tenanay teo aminareo noho ny aminareo.

For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:

6 Ary ianareo efa nanahaka anay sy ny Tompo, satria nandray ny teny tamin’ ny fahoriana be mbamin’ ny hafaliana avy amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna,

and ye became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,

7 ka dia tonga fianarana ho an’ ny mino rehetra any Makedonia sy Akaia ianareo.

so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:

8 Fa avy taminareo no nanenoan’ ny tenin’ ny Tompo, tsy tany Makedonia sy Akaia ihany, fa teny tontolo eny no nielezan’ ny lazan’ ny finoanareo an’ Andriamanitra, ka dia tsy misy holazainay intsony.

for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;

9 Fa ireny ihany no milaza ny aminay, dia izay fidirana azonay ho atỳ aminareo sy ny nialanareo tamin’ ny sampy hiverenana amin’ Andriamanitra mba hanompo an’ Andriamanitra velona sy marina,

for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

10 ary mba hiandry ny Zanany avy any an-danitra, Izay natsangany tamin’ ny maty, dia Jesosy, izay Mpanafaka antsika amin’ ny fahatezerana ho avy.

and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
