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

¹Paulus ja Silvanus ja Timoteos - tessalooniklaste kogudusele Jumalas, meie Isas, ja Issandas Jeesuses Kristuses:

²Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²Armu teile ja rahu Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!

³We are bound to give thanks to God always to you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith growth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;

³Meil tuleb alati tänada Jumalat teie eest, vennad, nõnda nagu on kohus, kuna teie usk jõudsasti kasvab ja armastus, mis teil igaühel on üksteise vastu, rohkeneb,

⁴so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure;

⁴nii et ka meie ise kiitleme teist Jumala kogudustes, teie vastupidavusest ja ustavusest kõigis tagakiusamistes ja kitsikustes, mida te talute

⁵[which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

⁵Jumala õiglase kohtu märgiks selle kohta, et teid on arvatud Jumala riigi vääriliseks, mille pärast te ka kannatate.

⁶if so be that it is righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you,

⁶See on tõepoolest Jumala poolt õiglane, et teie vaevajaile tasutakse viletsusega

⁷and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire,

⁷ja teile, keda vaevatakse, antakse hingamist koos meiega, siis kui Issand Jeesus ilmub taevast oma väe inglitega

⁸rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

⁸leegitsevas tules, karistades neid, kes ei tunne Jumalat ega ole kuulekad meie Issanda Jeesuse evangeeliumile.

⁹who shall suffer punishment, [even] eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

⁹Need saavad karistuseks igavese hukatuse eemal Issanda palgest ja tema vägevuse kirkusest,

¹⁰when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.

¹⁰kui ta tuleb, et tol päeval olla kirgastatud oma pühade hulgas ja imetletud kõigi usklike seas; sest teie juures on meie tunnistust peetud usutavaks.

¹¹To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power;

¹¹Sellepärast me palvetamegi alati teie eest, et meie Jumal teeks teid oma kutsumise vääriliseks ja et ta oma väes teeks täielikuks kogu teie headuse meelepärasuse ja usu teo,

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

¹²et meie Issanda Jeesuse nimi kirgastuks teis ja teie temas, meie Jumala ja Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse armu mööda.
