¹Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹ጳውሎስና ስልዋኖስ ጢሞቴዎስም፥ በእግዚአብሔር በአባታችን በጌታ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስም ወደምትሆን ወደ ተሰሎንቄ ሰዎች ቤተ ክርስቲያን፤

²Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²ከእግዚአብሔር ከአባታችን ከጌታ ከኢየሱስ ክርስቶስም ጸጋ ሰላምም ለእናንተ ይሁን።

³We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

³ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ እምነታችሁ እጅግ ስለሚያድግ የሁላችሁም የእያንዳንዳችሁ ፍቅር እርስ በርሳችሁ ስለሚበዛ፥ ሁልጊዜ ስለ እናንተ እግዚአብሔርን እንደሚገባ ልናመሰግን ግድ አለብን፤

⁴So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

⁴ስለዚህ በምትታገሱበት በስደታችሁና በመከራችሁ ሁሉ ከመጽናታችሁና ከእምነታችሁ የተነሣ በእግዚአብሔር አብያተ ክርስቲያናት ስለ እናንተ ራሳችን እንመካለን።

⁵Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

⁵ስለ እርሱ ደግሞ መከራ ለምትቀበሉለት ለእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት የምትበቁ ሆናችሁ ትቈጠሩ ዘንድ፥ ይህ የእግዚአብሔር ቅን ፍርድ ምልክት ነው።

⁶Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

⁶ጌታ ኢየሱስ ከሥልጣኑ መላእክት ጋር ከሰማይ በእሳት ነበልባል ሲገለጥ፥ መከራን ለሚያሳዩአችሁ መከራን፥ መከራንም ለምትቀበሉ ከእኛ ጋር ዕረፍትን ብድራት አድርጎ እንዲመልስ በእግዚአብሔር ፊት በእርግጥ ጽድቅ ነውና።

⁷And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

⁸እግዚአብሔርን የማያውቁትን፥ ለጌታችንም ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ወንጌል የማይታዘዙትን ይበቀላል፤

⁸In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

⁹በዚያም ቀን በቅዱሳኑ ሊከብር፥ ምስክርነታችንንም አምናችኋልና በሚያምኑት ሁሉ ዘንድ ሊገረም ሲመጣ፥ ከጌታ ፊት ከኃይሉም ክብር ርቀው በዘላለም ጥፋት ይቀጣሉ።

⁹Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

¹¹ስለዚህም ደግሞ እንደ አምላካችን እንደ ጌታም እንደ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋ፥ የጌታችን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ስም በእናንተ ዘንድ ሊከብር እናንተም በእርሱ ዘንድ ልትከብሩ፥ አምላካችን ለመጥራቱ የምትበቁ አድርጎ ይቈጥራችሁ ዘንድ፥ የበጎነትንም ፈቃድ ሁሉ የእምነትንም ሥራ በኃይል ይፈጽም ዘንድ ስለ እናንተ ሁልጊዜ እንጸልያለን።

¹⁰When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

¹¹Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

¹²That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
