1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.

1 مِنْ بُولُسَ وَسِلْوَانُسَ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسَ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ مُؤْمِنِي تَسَالُونِيكِي الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

2 We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers

2 إِنَّنَا نَشْكُرُ اللهَ دَائِماً مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ جَمِيعاً، إِذْ نَذْكُرُكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِنَا دُونَ تَوَقُّفٍ؛

3 and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

3 مُتَذَكِّرِينَ، أَمَامَ إِلَهِنَا وَأَبِينَا، مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ عَمَلِ الإِيمَانِ وَاجْتِهَادِ الْمَحَبَّةِ وَثَبَاتِ الرَّجَاءِ، فِي رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ؛

4 Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,

4 وَنَحْنُ عَالِمُونَ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَحِبَّاءَ اللهِ، حَقِيقَةَ اخْتِيَارِكُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللهِ:

5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.

5 لأَنَّ تَبْشِيرَنَا لَكُمْ بِالإِنْجِيلِ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُجَرَّدَ كَلامٍ، بَلْ كَانَ مَصْحُوباً أَيْضاً بِالْقُوَّةِ وَبِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَبِتَمَامِ الْيَقِينِ. كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ تَمَاماً مَاذَا كُنَّا بَيْنَكُمْ لأَجْلِ مَصْلَحَتِكُمْ،

6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

6 وَقَدْ صِرْتُمْ مُقْتَدِينَ بِنَا وَبِالرَّبِّ، إِذْ تَقَبَّلْتُمْ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ فِي وَسَطِ ضِيقَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ بِفَرَحِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ.

7 As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

7 حَتَّى إِنَّكُمْ صِرْتُمْ مِثَالاً لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُقَاطَعَتَيْ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ.

8 For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

8 فَمِنْ عِنْدِكُمْ دَوَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ، مُنْتَشِرَةً لَا فِي مَقِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ إِنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ بِاللهِ ذَاعَ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، حَتَّى لَيْسَ لَنَا حَاجَةٌ لأَنْ نَقُولَ شَيْئاً بَعْدُ.

9 For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God

9 فَإِنَّ أُولئِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ عَنَّا كَيْفَ كَانَ قُدُومُنَا إِلَيْكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ، وَكَيْفَ تَحَوَّلْتُمْ إِلَى اللهِ عَنِ الأَصْنَامِ، لِتَصِيرُوا عَبِيداً يَخْدِمُونَ اللهَ الْحَيَّ الْحَقَّ،

10 and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.

10 وَتَنْتَظِرُوا مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ ابْنَهُ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، يَسُوعَ مُخَلِّصَنَا مِنَ الْغَضَبِ الآتِي.
