1 Tasaloniiqee 1

1 Phaawulos, Silwaanosii fi Xiimotewos irraa, Gara waldaa kiristaanaa warra Tasaloniiqee kan Waaqa Abbaatii fi kan Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoos taateetti: Ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Nu kadhannaa keenya keessatti maqaa keessan dhoofnee yeroo hunda waaʼee hunda keessaniitiif Waaqa ni galateeffanna.

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

3 Nu hojii amantii keessanii, dadhabbii jaalala keessanii fi obsa abdii keessanii kan Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti qabdan sana Waaqa keenyaa fi Abbaa keenya duratti ittuma fufnee ni yaadanna.

Incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

4 Yaa obboloota Waaqaan jaallatamtan, nu akka inni isin filate beeknaatii;

knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

5 wangeelli keenya humnaan, Hafuura Qulqulluu fi amansiisa guddaan malee dubbii afaanii qofaan gara keessan hin dhufneetii. Nu isiniif jennee akkamitti akka isin gidduu jiraanne ni beektu.

For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much certainty; as ye know what sort of persons we were among you for your sakes.

6 Isinis fakkeenya keenyaa fi fakkeenya Gooftaa duukaa buutaniirtu; utuma dhiphina guddaa keessa jirtanuus gammachuu Hafuurri Qulqulluun isinii kennuun dubbicha fudhattaniirtu.

And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word tho' in much affliction, yet with joy of the holy Ghost.

7 Kanaanis amantoota Maqedooniyaa fi Akaayaa jiran hundaaf fakkeenya taatanii jirtan.

So that ye became examples to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 Dubbiin Gooftaa isin biraa baʼee Maqedooniyaa fi Akaayaa qofatti hin dhagaʼamne; amantiin isin Waaqatti qabdanis lafa hunda gaʼeera. Kanaafuu waaʼee isaa homaa dubbachuu nu hin barbaachisu;

For the word of the Lord sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia; but also in every place your faith towards God is spread abroad, so that we have no need to say any thing of it.

9 isin simannaa akkamii akka nuu gootan isaanuu ni dubbatuutii. Isaan akkamitti akka isin Waaqa jiraataa fi Waaqa dhugaa tajaajiluuf jettanii waaqota tolfamoo irraa gara Waaqaatti deebitanis ni himu;

For they themselves declare concerning us what kind of entrance we had among you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;

10 akkasumas Ilma isaa isa inni warra duʼan keessaa kaase jechuunis Yesuus isa dheekkamsa dhufu jalaa nu baasu sana akka samii irraa eeggattan ni himu.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
