1 Thessalonians 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace.	1 Pavao, Silvan i Timotej Crkvi Solunjanâ u Bogu Ocu i Gospodinu Isusu Kristu. Milost vam i mir!
2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly	2 Zahvaljujemo uvijek Bogu za sve vas i bez prestanka vas se sjećamo u svojim molitvama
3 calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father,	3 spominjući se vaše djelotvorne vjere, zauzete ljubavi i postojane nade u Gospodinu našem Isusu Kristu, pred Bogom i Ocem našim.
4 knowing, brothers loved by God, how you were chosen.	4 Svjesni smo, braćo od Boga ljubljena, vašeg izabranja
5 For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the holy Spirit and (with) much conviction. You know what sort of people we were (among) you for your sake.	5 jer evanđelje naše nije k vama došlo samo u riječi nego i u snazi, u Duhu Svetome i mnogostrukoj punini. Takvi smo, kao što znate, poradi vas među vama bili.
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the holy Spirit,	6 I vi postadoste nasljedovatelji naši i Gospodinovi: sve u nevolji mnogoj prigrliste Riječ s radošću Duha Svetoga
7 so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.	7 tako da postadoste uzorom svim vjernicima u Makedoniji i Ahaji.
8 For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and (in) Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.	8 Od vas je doista ne samo riječ Gospodnja odjeknula po Makedoniji i Ahaji nego se i vaša vjera u Boga posvuda tako proširila te nije potrebno da o tome govorimo.
9 For they themselves openly declare about us what sort of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God	9 Oni sami o nama pripovijedaju: kako dođosmo k vama, kako se od idola obratiste k Bogu da biste služili Bogu živomu i istinskomu
10 and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from (the) dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.	10 i iščekivali s nebesa Sina njegova koga uskrisi od mrtvih, Isusa koji nas izbavlja od gnjeva što dolazi.
