¹Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹Pavao, Silvan i Timotej Crkvi Solunjana u Bogu Ocu našemu i Gospodinu Isusu Kristu.

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

²Milost vam i mir od Boga Oca i Gospodina Isusa Krista!

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;

³Zahvaljivati moramo Bogu uvijek za vas, braćo, kao što dolikuje jer izvanredno raste vaša vjera i množi se ljubav svakoga od vas prema drugima,

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.

⁴tako da se mi sami po crkvama Božjim vama ponosimo zbog vaše postojanosti i vjere u svim progonstvima i nevoljama koje podnosite.

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.

⁵One su najava pravednog Suda Božjega: da ćete se naći dostojni kraljevstva Božjega za koje i trpite.

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

⁶Jer pravo je da Bog vašim mučiteljima mukom,

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,

⁷a vama, mučenima, zajedno s nama spokojem uzvrati kad se Gospodin Isus objavi s nama, zajedno s anđelima svoje moći,

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

⁸u ognju žarkome i osveti se onima koji ne poznaju Boga i ne pokoravaju se evanđelju Gospodina našega Isusa.

⁹who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

⁹Oni će biti kažnjeni vječnom propašću, daleko od lica Gospodnjega i od slave njegova veličanstva,

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.

¹⁰kada - u onaj Dan - dođe da se proslavi u svojim svetima i da se prodiči u svima koji povjerovaše. Jer povjerovalo se svjedočanstvu našemu među vama.

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;

¹¹Zato i molimo uvijek za vas da vas Bog učini dostojnima poziva i snažno dovede do punine svako vaše nastojanje oko dobra i djelo vaše vjere

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.

¹²te da se proslavi ime Gospodina našega Isusa u vama i vi u njemu - po milosti Boga našega i Gospodina Isusa Krista.
