帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 後 書 1
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
1 我，保罗、西拉和提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦教会，该教会属于我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督。
2 愿来自父上帝和主耶稣基督的恩典与和平属于你们。
3 兄弟们，我们应该常常为你们感谢上帝，这是我们应该做的，因为你们的信仰在不断地增强，对彼此的爱也在不断地增长。 4 因此在上帝的各教会里，我们夸耀你们，因为你们虽然遭受到迫害和患难，但是仍然表现出毅力和信仰。
保罗谈上帝的审判
5 这是上帝公正审判的证据。他让你们现在遭受痛苦，目的是为了使你们配得上进入上帝的王国。 6 在上帝眼里，这是应该的：用灾难回报那些使你们遭受痛苦的人， 7 让遭受了苦难的你们和我们一同得到安宁。当主耶稣向我们显现的时候，他将带着他强大的天使从天而降。 8 他们将伴着熊熊燃烧的烈火，给那些不认识上帝和不服从我们主耶稣福音 [a]的人带来惩罚。 9 他们将要遭受永遭毁灭的惩罚，他们将被排除在主的面前和他的荣耀的大能之外。 10 耶稣来临的那天，他会在他的圣民中得到荣耀，而所有的信徒都会为他惊叹不止，你们也包括在内，因为你们相信了我们向你们为他所做的见证。
11 所以我们总是为你们祈祷，请求上帝，愿他使你们的生活不辜负他的召唤；愿凭他的力量，实现你们的每一个美好的意愿，完成你们靠信仰所做的每一件工作。 12 这样，我们主耶稣的名字在你们之中就能够得到荣誉，而你们也通过上帝和主耶稣基督的恩典在他之中得到荣耀。

Kehillah in Thessalonika II 1
Orthodox Jewish Bible
1 From Sha’ul and Silvanus (Sila) and Timotiyos. To the Kehillah of the inhabitants of the city of Thessalonika, the Kehillah in Hashem, in Elohim Avinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,
2 Chen v’Chesed Hashem to you and Shalom from Elohim Avinu and Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.
3 With continuous hodayah (thanksgiving) we ought to make brachot to Hashem concerning you, Achim b’Moshiach, as is fitting, because your emunah is increasing abundantly and the ahavah (agape) every one of you has for the other is growing.
4 Therefore, we ourselves glory in you in all the kehillot of Hashem for your zitzfleisch (patience) and emunah in all the redifot (persecutions) and the tzoros you are enduring.
5 This is kluhr (obvious) that here is a manifest siman (sign, indication) of the yashar mishpat (righteous judgment) of Hashem intended for you to be deemed worthy of the Malchut Hashem, on behalf of which also you undergo [Chevlei Moshiach] yissurim.
6 Indeed it is tzaddik (a thing examined and found to be right) for Hashem to repay with tzarah (tribulation) those who bring tzarah (tribulation) on you
7 And to recompense you, the ones suffering tzarah (tribulation), with revachah (relief) along with us at the Apocalypse of [Moshiach] Yehoshua Adoneinu from Shomayim with the malachim of his oz (power)
8 BELAHAVEI EISH ("in flaming fire" YESHAYAH 66:15), giving Onesh to the ones not knowing Hashem and to the ones not obeying the Besuras HaGeulah of [Moshiach] Yehoshua Adoneinu.
9 These are the ones who will pay an Onesh of Avaddon Olam (Eternal Destruction [Gehinnom]) away from the Shechinah of Hashem UMEHADAR GE’ONO ("and from the splendor of his majesty" YESHAYAH 2:19),
10 When He comes to be glorified in His Kadoshim and to be marveled at in all the ma’aminim [in Moshiach] because our [martyr’s] eidus (T.N. The word can mean witness al kiddush ha-Shem) to you was believed in YOM HAHU ("that Day" YESHAYAH 2:11).
11 To this end also we make tefillos always concerning you that Eloheinu may count you worthy of the Kri’ah (Calling) and by His gevurah may fulfill every chafetz hatov (good desire) and ma’aseh haemunah (work of faith)
12 In order that ha-Shem (the Name) of [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua may be glorified in you, and you, in him [Moshiach], according to the unmerited Chen v’Chesed of Eloheinu and Moshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.
2 Thessalonians 1
J.B. Phillips New Testament
1 1-2 To the church of the Thessalonians, founded on God our Father and Jesus Christ the Lord, from Paul, Silvanus and Timothy; grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Your sufferings are a guarantee of great joy one day
3-4 My brothers, nowadays I thank God for you not only in common fairness but as a moral obligation! Your faith has made such strides, and (without any individual exceptions) your love towards each other has reached such proportions that we actually boast about you in the churches, because you have shown such endurance and faith in all the trials and persecutions you have gone through.
5-7a These qualities show how justly the judgment of God works out in your case. Without doubt he intends to use your suffering to make you worthy of his kingdom, yet his justice will one day repay trouble to those who have troubled you, and peace to all of us who, like you, have suffered.
7b-10 This judgment will issue eventually in the final denouement of Christ’s personal coming from Heaven with the angels of his power. It will bring full justice in dazzling flame upon those who have refused to know God or to obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Their punishment will be eternal exclusion from the radiance of the face of the Lord, and the glorious majesty of power. But to those whom he has made holy his coming will mean splendour unimaginable. It will be a breath-taking wonder to all who believe—including you, for you have believed the message that we have given you.
11-12 In view of this great prospect, we pray for you constantly, that God will think you worthy of this calling, and that he will effect in you all his goodness desires to do, and that your faith makes possible. We pray that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may become more glorious through you, and that you may share something of his glory—all through the grace of our God and Jesus Christ the Lord.
