1Povlauj, Xivana thiab Timaute hais lus mus rau pawg ntseeg hauv lub moos Thexalaunika uas nyob hauv leej Txiv Vajtswv thiab hauv tus Tswv Yexus Khetos. Thov Vajtswv txojkev hlub thiab txojkev siab tus nrog nraim nej.
Cov Thexalaunika kev ntseeg
2Peb ua Vajtswv tsaug txog nej txhua tus txhua lub sijhawm thiab thaum thov Vajtswv peb kuj thov txog nej thiab.
3Peb nco tab meeg Vajtswv uas yog peb leej Txiv lub xubntiag txog nej txojkev ntseeg uas ua haujlwm tshwm los thiab nco txog nej txojkev hlub uas rau siab ua haujlwm hnyav thiab qhov uas nej muaj siab ntev thev vim muaj chaw vam hauv peb tus Tswv Yexus Khetos.
4Cov kwvtij uas Vajtswv hlub, peb yeej paub tias nws twb xaiv nej cia lawm,
5vim txoj xov zoo uas peb qhia tuaj txog nej, tsis yog tuaj lo lus qhuav xwb tiamsis muaj hwjchim thiab muaj Vaj Ntsuj Plig uas dawb huv thiab muaj kev ruaj siab puv npo. Nej kuj paub tias peb ua neeg zoo li cas rau hauv nej vim yog saib rau nej.
6Thiab nej kuj ua raws li kuv thiab ua raws li tus Tswv. Txawm yog nej raug kev txom nyem ceeblaj, los nej tseem muaj siab xyiv fab ntawm Vaj Ntsuj Plig mloog txoj xov zoo.
7Vim li no nej thiaj ua yam ntxwv zoo rau cov uas ntseeg sawvdaws hauv lub xeev Makhedaunia thiab lub xeev Akhaya.
8Vajtswv tej lus nrov nto moo ntawm nej mus tsis yog rau hauv lub xeev Makhedaunia thiab Akhaya xwb tiamsis nej txojkev ntseeg Vajtswv nrov nto moo mus txog txhua qhov, tsis tag peb yuav hais dabtsi li lawm.
9Vim tias cov neeg ntawd piav tias nej tau txais peb zoo npaum li cas diam thiab piav txog qhov uas nej tau tso tej dab mlom tseg tig los cuag Vajtswv thiab ua koom tu tus tseem Vajtswv uas muaj txojsia nyob,
10thiab tos rawv Vajtswv tus Tub uas yuav los saum ntuj los, yog tus uas Vajtswv tsa ciaj sawv hauv qhov tuag rov los, yog Yexus uas cawm peb dim Vajtswv tej kev npau taws uas yuav muaj los tom hauv ntej.

1Paul, Silas⚓ and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you.
Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ Faith
2We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.
3We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4For we know, brothers and sisters⚓ loved by God, that he has chosen you,
5because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.
6You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
7And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
8The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,
9for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
