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

¹Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

²Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

³We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, because your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all towards one another abounds;

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

⁴so that we ourselves make our boast in you in the assemblies of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations, which ye are sustaining;

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

⁵a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the sake of which ye also suffer;

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

⁶if at least [it is a] righteous thing with God to render tribulation to those that trouble you,

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

⁷and to you that are troubled repose with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with [the] angels of his power,

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

⁸in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not God, and those who do not obey the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

⁹who shall pay the penalty [of] everlasting destruction from [the] presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might,

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

¹⁰when he shall have come to be glorified in his saints, and wondered at in all that have believed, (for our testimony to you has been believed,) in that day.

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,

¹¹To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all [the] good pleasure of [his] goodness and [the] work of faith with power,

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

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