1 paulaḥ silvānastīmathiyaścētināmānō vayam asmadīyatātam īśvaraṁ prabhuṁ yīśukhrīṣṭañcāśritāṁ thiṣalanīkināṁ samitiṁ prati patraṁ likhāmaḥ|

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmāsvanugrahaṁ śāntiñca kriyāstāṁ|

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 hē bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kr̥tē sarvvadā yathāyōgyam īśvarasya dhanyavādō 'smābhiḥ karttavyaḥ, yatō hētō ryuṣmākaṁ viśvāsa uttarōttaraṁ varddhatē parasparam ēkaikasya prēma ca bahuphalaṁ bhavati|

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

4 tasmād yuṣmābhi ryāvanta upadravaklēśāḥ sahyantē tēṣu yad dhēryyaṁ yaśca viśvāsaḥ prakāśyatē tatkāraṇād vayam īśvarīyasamitiṣu yuṣmābhiḥ ślāghāmahē|

so that we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

5 taccēśvarasya nyāyavicārasya pramāṇaṁ bhavati yatō yūyaṁ yasya kr̥tē duḥkhaṁ sahadhvaṁ tasyēśvarīyarājyasya yōgyā bhavatha|

This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

6 yataḥ svakīyasvargadūtānāṁ balaiḥ sahitasya prabhō ryīśōḥ svargād āgamanakālē yuṣmākaṁ klēśakēbhyaḥ klēśēna phaladānaṁ sārddhamasmābhiśca

Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

7 kliśyamānēbhyō yuṣmabhyaṁ śāntidānam īśvarēṇa nyāyyaṁ bhōtsyatē;

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

8 tadānīm īśvarānabhijñēbhyō 'smatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādāgrāhakēbhyaśca lōkēbhyō jājvalyamānēna vahninā samucitaṁ phalaṁ yīśunā dāsyatē;

giving vengeance to those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

9 tē ca prabhō rvadanāt parākramayuktavibhavācca sadātanavināśarūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ lapsyantē, (aiōnios g166)

who will pay the penalty: everlasting destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 kintu tasmin dinē svakīyapavitralōkēṣu virājituṁ yuṣmān aparāṁśca sarvvān viśvāsilōkān vismāpayituñca sa āgamiṣyati yatō 'smākaṁ pramāṇē yuṣmābhi rviśvāsō'kāri|

when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

11 atō'smākam īśvarō yuṣmān tasyāhvānasya yōgyān karōtu saujanyasya śubhaphalaṁ viśvāsasya guṇañca parākramēṇa sādhayatviti prārthanāsmābhiḥ sarvvadā yuṣmannimittaṁ kriyatē,

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;

12 yatastathā satyasmākam īśvarasya prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cānugrahād asmatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnō gauravaṁ yuṣmāsu yuṣmākamapi gauravaṁ tasmin prakāśiṣyatē|

that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
