1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1[Fiarahabana ny Tesaloniana, sy fisaorana an'Andriamanitra noho ny nandraisan'ireo ny filazantsara sy ny nandrosoany tamin'ny finoana sy ny fitiavana] Paoly sy Silasy ary Timoty mamangy ny fiangonan'ny Tesaloniana, izay ao amin'Andriamanitra Ray sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo: ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana.
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
2Misaotra an'Andriamanitra mandrakariva izahay ny aminareo rehetra ka manonona anareo amin'ny fivavahanay,
3Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
3sady tsy mitsahatra mahatsiaro ny asanareo amin'ny finoana sy ny fikelezanareo aina amin'ny fitiavana ary ny faharetanareo amin'ny fanantenana an i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika eo imason'Andriamanitra Raintsika;
4Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
4fa fantatray, ry rahalahy malalan'Andriamanitra, ny fifidianana anareo,
5For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
5fa ny filazantsaranay tsy tonga teo aminareo tamin'ny teny ihany, fa tamin'ny hery koa sy ny Fanahy Masina ary ny fahatokiana be, araka ny ahafantaranareo izay toetry ny fitondran-tenanay teo aminareo noho ny aminareo.
6And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
6Ary ianareo efa nanahaka anay sy ny Tompo, satria nandray ny teny tamin'ny fahoriana be mbamin'ny hafaliana avy amin'ny Fanahy Masina,
7So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
7ka dia tonga fianarana ho an'ny mino rehetra any Makedonia sy Akaia ianareo.
8For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
8Fa avy taminareo no nanenoan'ny tenin'ny Tompo, tsy tany Makedonia sy Akaia ihany, fa teny tontolo eny no nielezan'ny lazan'ny finoanareo an'Andriamanitra, ka dia tsy misy holazainay intsony.
9For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
9Fa ireny ihany no milaza ny aminay, dia izay fidirana azonay ho atỳ aminareo sy ny nialanareo tamin'ny sampy hiverenana amin'Andriamanitra mba hanompo an'Andriamanitra velona sy marina,ary mba hiandry ny Zanany avy any an-danitra, Izay natsangany tamin'ny maty, dia Jesosy, izay Mpanafaka antsika amin'ny fahatezerana ho avy.
10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
10ary mba hiandry ny Zanany avy any an-danitra, Izay natsangany tamin'ny maty, dia Jesosy, izay Mpanafaka antsika amin'ny fahatezerana ho avy.
