1 Tesaloniana 1
1 I Paoly naho i Silasy vaho i Timoty, Ho ami’ty Fivori’ o nte-Tesalonika aman’ Añahare Rae naho i Talè Iesoà Norizañeio: Fierañerañañe naho Fañanintsiñe
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father, and [in] the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Andriañe’ay nainai’e t’Andrianañahare ty ama’ areo iaby, manoñoñe anahareo amo halali’aio;
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 le tiahi’ay lomoñandro ty fitoloña’ areo am-patokisañe naho ty fitromaha’ areo aman-koko naho ty figahiña’ areo mitamà i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey añatrefan’ Añahare Raen-tika.
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Fohi’ay ry roahalahy kokoan’ Añahareo, te jinobo’e,
Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.
5 fa tsy nitotsake ama’ areo an-tsara avao i talili-soa’aiy; fa aman-kaozara’ i Arofo Masiñey vaho am-pireketan-tro añoñe. Fohi’ areo ka ty fañaveloa’ay ama’ areo.
For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 Toe nitsikombe anay naho i Talè nahareo; fa ndra te nanjoan-kaloviloviañe, le rinambe’ areo an-kafalea’ i Arofo Masiñey i tsaray.
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:
7 Aa le nitsikombea’ ze hene mpiato e Makedonia naho Akaia añe.
So that ye were examples to all that believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 Le tsy e Makedonia naho e Akaia añe avao ty nampiboelea’ areo ty saontsi’ i Talè, fa toe nikatsakatsake an-toets’ aia’ aia o fatokisa’ areo an’ Andrianañahareo vaho tsy anovoña’ay rehake,
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9 fa italilia’ iareo ty hasoam-pampihovà’ areo anay, ie nitolik’ aman’ Añahare naho niamboho ami’ty fahasive, mitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare veloñe naho to,
For they themselves show of us what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;
10 vaho mandiñe i Ana’e andindìñey, i natroa’e an-kavilasiy—Iesoà mpañaha antika amy haviñerañe ho aviy.
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.
