1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
1ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܤܠܘܢܘܤ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܤ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܝܐ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܀
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;
2ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܕܟܪܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܀
3remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;
3ܘܥܗܕܝܢܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܡܠܐ ܕܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܕܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
4knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,
4ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܚܒܝܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
5how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.
5ܡܛܠ ܕܡܤܒܪܢܘܬܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܘܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܒܦܝܤܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܀
6And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;
6ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢ ܐܬܕܡܝܬܘܢ ܘܒܡܪܢ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܀
7so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
7ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܐܟܐܝܐ ܀
8For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.
8ܡܢܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܐܟܐܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܬܢܩ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܀
9For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
9ܗܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܬܥܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܡܥܠܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܦܢܝܬܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܬܦܠܚܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܘܫܪܝܪܐ ܀
10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
10ܟܕ ܡܤܟܝܬܘܢ ܠܒܪܗ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܦܨܐ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܀
