3 يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَشْكُرَ ٱللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ كَمَا يَحِقُّ، لِأَنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ يَنْمُو كَثِيرًا، وَمَحَبَّةُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ جَمِيعًا بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ تَزْدَادُ، 4 حَتَّى إِنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَنْفُسَنَا نَفْتَخِرُ بِكُمْ فِي كَنَائِسِ ٱللهِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ صَبْرِكُمْ وَإِيمَانِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱضْطِهَادَاتِكُمْ وَٱلضِّيقَاتِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَمِلُونَهَا، 5 بَيِّنَةً عَلَى قَضَاءِ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَادِلِ، أَنَّكُمْ تُؤَهَّلُونَ لِمَلَكُوتِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِهِ تَتَأَلَّمُونَ أَيْضًا. 6 إِذْ هُوَ عَادِلٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضَايِقُونَكُمْ يُجَازِيهِمْ ضِيقًا، 7 وَإِيَّاكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَضَايَقُونَ رَاحَةً مَعَنَا، عِنْدَ ٱسْتِعْلَانِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ مَعَ مَلَائِكَةِ قُوَّتِهِ، 8 فِي نَارِ لَهِيبٍ، مُعْطِيًا نَقْمَةً لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱللهَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُطِيعُونَ إِنْجِيلَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، 9 ٱلَّذِينَ سَيُعَاقَبُونَ بِهَلَاكٍ أَبَدِيٍّ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ مَجْدِ قُوَّتِهِ، 10 مَتَى جَاءَ لِيَتَمَجَّدَ فِي قِدِّيسِيهِ وَيُتَعَجَّبَ مِنْهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ. لِأَنَّ شَهَادَتَنَا عِنْدَكُمْ صُدِّقَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. 11 ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِهِ نُصَلِّي أَيْضًا كُلَّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ: أَنْ يُؤَهِّلَكُمْ إِلَهُنَا لِلدَّعْوَةِ، وَيُكَمِّلَ كُلَّ مَسَرَّةِ ٱلصَّلَاحِ وَعَمَلَ ٱلْإِيمَانِ بِقُوَّةٍ، 12 لِكَيْ يَتَمَجَّدَ ٱسْمُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِيكُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ فِيهِ، بِنِعْمَةِ إِلَهِنَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.
2 Thessalonians 1
Salutation
1 From Pault and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonianss in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Grace and peace to yout from God thes Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Thanksgiving
3 We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters,t and rightly so,t because your faith flourishes more and more and the love of each one of you all for one another is ever greater.
4 As a result we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you are enduring.
Encouragement in Persecution
5 This is evidence of God’s righteous judgment, to make you worthyt of the kingdom of God, for which in fact you are suffering.6 For it is rightt for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,7 and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealedt from heaven with his mighty angels.t8 With flaming fire he will mete outtpunishment on those who do not know Gods and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.9 Theyt will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,ts10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admiredt on that day among all who have believed – and you did in fact believe our testimony.t11 And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his callingt and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,
12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according tot the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
