Introduction to 1 Thessalonians
1 GLT بُولُسُ وَسِلْوَانُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ ٱلتَّسَالُونِيكِيِّينَ، فِي ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. BSB BSB: Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.
2 GLT نَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، ذَاكِرِينَ إِيَّاكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِنَا، BSB BSB: We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers
3 GLT مُتَذَكِّرِينَ بِلَا ٱنْقِطَاعٍ عَمَلَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَتَعَبَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ، وَصَبْرَ رَجَائِكُمْ، رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، أَمَامَ ٱللهِ وَأَبِينَا. BSB BSB: and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 GLT عَالِمِينَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱخْتِيَارَكُمْ، BSB BSB: Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,
5 GLT أَنَّ إِنْجِيلَنَا لَمْ يَصِرْ لَكُمْ بِٱلْكَلَامِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ بِٱلْقُوَّةِ أَيْضًا، وَبِٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، وَبِيَقِينٍ شَدِيدٍ، كَمَا تَعْرِفُونَ أَيَّ رِجَالٍ كُنَّا بَيْنَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ. BSB BSB: because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.
6 GLT وَأَنْتُمْ صِرْتُمْ مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِنَا وَبِالرَّبِّ، إِذْ قَبِلْتُمُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ فِي ضِيقٍ كَثِيرٍ، بِفَرَحِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، BSB BSB: And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.
7 GLT حَتَّى صِرْتُمْ قُدْوَةً لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَفِي أَخَائِيَةَ. BSB BSB: As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 GLT لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِكُمْ قَدْ أُذِيعَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَيْسَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَيْضًا قَدْ ذَاعَ إِيمَانُكُمْ بِٱللهِ، حَتَّى لَيْسَ لَنَا حَاجَةٌ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ شَيْئًا. BSB BSB: For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.
9 GLT لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ عَنَّا، أَيُّ دُخُولٍ كَانَ لَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ، وَكَيْفَ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى ٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، لِتَعْبُدُوا ٱللهَ ٱلْحَيَّ ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّ، BSB BSB: For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
10 GLT وَتَنْتَظِرُوا ٱبْنَهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِي يُنْقِذُنَا مِنَ ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱلْآتِي. BSB BSB: and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.
