I Thessalonians 1

بُولُسُ وَسِلْوَانُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ التَّسَالُونِيكِيِّينَ، فِي اللهِ الآبِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

نَشْكُرُ اللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، ذَاكِرِينَ إِيَّاكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِنَا،

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

مُتَذَكِّرِينَ بِلاَ انْقِطَاعٍ عَمَلَ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَتَعَبَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ، وَصَبْرَ رَجَائِكُمْ، رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ، أَمَامَ اللهِ وَأَبِينَا.

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

عَالِمِينَ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ الْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ اللهِ اخْتِيَارَكُمْ،

Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

أَنَّ إِنْجِيلَنَا لَمْ يَصِرْ لَكُمْ بِالْكَلاَمِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ بِالْقُوَّةِ أَيْضًا، وَبِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، وَبِيَقِينٍ شَدِيدٍ، كَمَا تَعْرِفُونَ أَيَّ رِجَال كُنَّا بَيْنَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

وَأَنْتُمْ صِرْتُمْ مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِنَا وَبِالرَّبِّ، إِذْ قَبِلْتُمُ الْكَلِمَةَ فِي ضِيق كَثِيرٍ، بِفَرَحِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ،

And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

حَتَّى صِرْتُمْ قُدْوَةً لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَفِي أَخَائِيَةَ.

So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

لأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِكُمْ قَدْ أُذِيعَتْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ، لَيْسَ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَيْضًا قَدْ ذَاعَ إِيمَانُكُمْ بِاللهِ، حَتَّى لَيْسَ لَنَا حَاجَةٌ أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ شَيْئًا.

For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

لأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ يُخْبِرُونَ عَنَّا، أَيُّ دُخُول كَانَ لَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ، وَكَيْفَ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى اللهِ مِنَ الأَوْثَانِ، لِتَعْبُدُوا اللهَ الْحَيَّ الْحَقِيقِيَّ،

For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

وَتَنْتَظِرُوا ابْنَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ، يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي يُنْقِذُنَا مِنَ الْغَضَبِ الآتِي.

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
