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

¹Pavel in Silvan in Timotej cerkvi Solunčanov v Bogu Očetu našem in Gospodu Jezusu Kristusu:

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

²Milost vam in mir od Boga Očeta našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa!

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;

³Zahvaljevati Boga smo dolžni vedno za vas, bratje, kakor je spodobno, ker močno raste vera vaša in se množi ljubezen vsakega izmed vas do vseh med seboj;

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 hvalimo z vami po cerkvah Božjih zaradi stanovitnosti vaše in vere v vseh preganjanjih vaših in stiskah, ki jih prenašate;

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.

⁵to je očitno znamenje pravične sodbe Božje, da bi bili za vredne spoznani kraljestva Božjega, ki zanje tudi trpite;

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

⁶ker je res pravično pri Bogu, da povrne stisko njim, ki vas stiskajo,

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,

⁷in vam stiskanim počitek z nami, kadar se razodene Gospod Jezus z neba z angeli moči svoje

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

⁸v plamenečem ognju, ko bo kaznoval tiste, ki ne poznajo Boga in niso pokorni evangeliju Gospoda našega Jezusa:

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

⁹ki bodo trpeli kazen, večno pogubo izpred obličja Gospodovega in izpred slave moči njegove,

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.

¹⁰kadar pride, da se oslavi v svetih svojih in se pokaže čudovitega v vseh, ki so sprejeli vero (ker se je verovalo pričevanje naše pri vas), v tisti dan.

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;

¹¹Za to tudi vedno molimo za vas, da vas spozna vredne poklica Bog naš in dovrši vsako blagougodje v dobroti in vsako delo vere z močjo svojo,da se oslavi ime Gospoda našega Jezusa v vas in vi v njem, po milosti Boga našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.

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.

¹²da se oslavi ime Gospoda našega Jezusa v vas in vi v njem, po milosti Boga našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
