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 the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

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 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 of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God even our Father;

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

knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

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.

because our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as you know what sort 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 you became imitators of us, and the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with the joy of the Holy Ghost;

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

so that you are an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in 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 from you the word of the Lord echoed out, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say any thing:

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 proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living 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 await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering us from the wrath to come.
