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

¹Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the 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 are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you 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 boast about you in the assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

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

⁵This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

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

⁶Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

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

⁷and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

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

⁸giving vengeance to those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

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

⁹who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face 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 comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was 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 this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;

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

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