1[Fiarahabana ny Tesaloniana, sy fisaorana an'Andriamanitra noho ny nandraisan'ireo ny filazantsara sy ny nandrosoany tamin'ny finoana sy ny fitiavana] Paoly sy Silasy ary Timoty mamangy ny fiangonan'ny Tesaloniana, izay ao amin'Andriamanitra Ray sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo: ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana.
1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
2Misaotra an'Andriamanitra mandrakariva izahay ny aminareo rehetra ka manonona anareo amin'ny fivavahanay,
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
3sady tsy mitsahatra mahatsiaro ny asanareo amin'ny finoana sy ny fikelezanareo aina amin'ny fitiavana ary ny faharetanareo amin'ny fanantenana an i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika eo imason'Andriamanitra Raintsika;
3unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,
4fa fantatray, ry rahalahy malalan'Andriamanitra, ny fifidianana anareo,
4having known, brethren beloved, by God, your election,
5fa ny filazantsaranay tsy tonga teo aminareo tamin'ny teny ihany, fa tamin'ny hery koa sy ny Fanahy Masina ary ny fahatokiana be, araka ny ahafantaranareo izay toetry ny fitondran-tenanay teo aminareo noho ny aminareo.
5because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,
6Ary ianareo efa nanahaka anay sy ny Tompo, satria nandray ny teny tamin'ny fahoriana be mbamin'ny hafaliana avy amin'ny Fanahy Masina,
6and ye — ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
7ka dia tonga fianarana ho an'ny mino rehetra any Makedonia sy Akaia ianareo.
7so that ye became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,
8Fa avy taminareo no nanenoan'ny tenin'ny Tompo, tsy tany Makedonia sy Akaia ihany, fa teny tontolo eny no nielezan'ny lazan'ny finoanareo an'Andriamanitra, ka dia tsy misy holazainay intsony.
8for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God did go forth, so that we have no need to say anything,
9Fa ireny ihany no milaza ny aminay, dia izay fidirana azonay ho atỳ aminareo sy ny nialanareo tamin'ny sampy hiverenana amin'Andriamanitra mba hanompo an'Andriamanitra velona sy marina,ary mba hiandry ny Zanany avy any an-danitra, Izay natsangany tamin'ny maty, dia Jesosy, izay Mpanafaka antsika amin'ny fahatezerana ho avy.
9for they themselves concerning us do declare what entrance we had unto you, and how ye did turn unto God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,
10ary mba hiandry ny Zanany avy any an-danitra, Izay natsangany tamin'ny maty, dia Jesosy, izay Mpanafaka antsika amin'ny fahatezerana ho avy.
10and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead — Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.
