¹Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of 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 to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

²ከእግዚአብሔር ከአባታችን ከጌታ ከኢየሱስ ክርስቶስም ጸጋ ሰላምም ለእናንተ ይሁን።

³We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

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

⁴so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;

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

⁵a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,

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

⁶since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you — trouble,

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 in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

⁸እግዚአብሔርን የማያውቁትን፥ ለጌታችንም ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ወንጌል የማይታዘዙትን ይበቀላል፤

⁸in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news 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 suffer justice — destruction age-during — from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

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 may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing — because our testimony was believed among you — in that day;

¹¹for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in 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 Lord Jesus Christ.
