1 Thessalonians 5
1 But about the times and the seasons, brothers, ye have no need to be written to you.
Nambo achalongo achinjangu, ngapagwa ligongo lya kunnembela ngani jankati saa ni ndema pachiikopochele yeleyo.
2 For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
Pakuŵa mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti lyuŵa lya kuuja Ambuje likwika chisisimuchile mpela jwawiyi yakuti pakwika chilo.
3 For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction approaches them, as the woman having birth pangs in her womb, and they will, no, not escape.
Ŵandu pachaŵechete, “Indu yose itulele ni kwana chitendewele,” papopo wonasi ukwaichilila mpela chilungusi cha kuligopola chachikunsimana jwankongwe jwakwete chitumbo, namose ŵandu wose ngaakombola kuŵambala.
4 But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief.
Nambo ŵanyamwe, achalongo achinjangu nganimma mchipi, namose lyuŵa lyo linnyichilile chisisimuchile mpela yakuti pakwika jwawiyi.
5 Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
Ŵanyamwe wose ndi ŵandu ŵankutamanga mu lilanguka, ni ŵandu ŵa muusi. Uweji nganituŵa ŵandu ŵa chilo atamuno ŵa chipi.
6 So then let us not sleep, as also the others, but let us watch and be sober.
Nipele tukagona mpela ŵane wo, nambo tuchesye ni kulilongosya twachinsyene.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are intoxicated get drunk at night.
Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵakugona ŵala, akugona chilo ni ŵandu ŵakukolelwa, akukolelwa chilo.
8 But we, being of the day, should be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet, the hope of salvation.
Nambo uwe tuli ŵandu ŵa muusi, tukusachilwa kulilongosya twachinsyene. Tukusachilwa kukamulangana ni chikulupi ni unonyelo mpela chakuwala cha chisyano cha kulichinga pantima, ni chilolelo chetu cha ukulupusyo nti chisoti cha chisyano chakulichinga mu ntwe.
9 Because God appointed us not for wrath, but for an acquired possession of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu nganatuŵika tujonasiche kwa lutumbilo lwao, nambo kuti tukulupuswe kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito,
10 So that, whether we are awake or sleep, we should live together with him.
juŵawile kwa ligongo lyetu kuti namose twaŵaga ŵajumi pane tujasiche tukombole kutama nawo pachauje.
11 Therefore encourage each other, and build ye up one by one, just as ye also are doing.
Nipele ntusyane ntima jwine ni jwine ni kulimbisyana jwine ni jwine mpela inkutenda sambano.
12 And we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who labor among you, and who lead you in the Lord, and who admonish you,
Achalongo achinjetu, tukunchondelela, mwachimbichisye ŵelewo ŵakupanganya masengo pasikati jenu ni ŵakunnongosya ni ŵakunjiganya mu utame wa kunkulupilila Kilisito.
13 and to esteem them with exceptional love because of their work. Live peaceably among yourselves.
Mwachimbichisye nnope ni kwanonyela kwa liwamba lya masengo gaakupanganya. Ntameje mu chitendewele pasikati jenu.
14 And we encourage you, brothers, admonish the unruly, strengthen the weak-spirited, help the infirmed, be patient toward all.
Achalongo achinjetu, tukunchondelela, mwajamuche ŵandu ŵaali ni ulesi, mwakamulisye ntima ŵaali ni lipamba, mwakamuchisye ŵakulepetala, mwapililile ŵandu wose.
15 See that not any man repays evil for evil to any man, but always pursue the good, both for each other and for all.
Nlilolechesye mwachinsyene kuti akasauchisya mundu chakusakala ku chakusakala, nambo moŵa gose ntendelane yaili yambone kwa jwine ni jwine ni kwa ŵandu wose.
16 Rejoice always.
Nsangalale moŵa gose,
17 Pray without ceasing.
mwapopelele Akunnungu pangapela,
18 In everything express thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
mwatogolele Akunnungu mu yose yaikutyochela pakuŵa yeleyo ni yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu kukwenu ŵanlumbikene ni Che Yesu Kilisito.
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
Nkausima mooto wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
20 Do not disdain prophecies,
nkaupwanya utenga waukutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
21 but examine all things. Hold firm the good.
Nsosesose yose ni kukamulisya chachili chambone,
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
nchiŵambale chachilichose chachikuwoneka changalumbana.
23 And may the God of peace himself sanctify you thoroughly. And may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, blamelessly at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Akunnungu asyene ŵakutupa chitendewele answejesye mose, mu mbumu syenu ni mitima jenu ni mu iilu yenu, yele yose ikasimanikwa ni ileŵo kukwenu katema kakwika Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
24 Faithful is he who calls you, who also will do it.
Akunnungu ŵammilasile ŵanyamwe chaitendekanye yeleyo pakuŵa ŵelewo ali ŵakulupilichika.
25 Brothers, pray about us.
Achalongo achinjetu, ntupopeleleje.
26 Salute all the brothers by a holy kiss.
Mwakomasye achalongo wose kwa kwalosya kuti nkwanonyela.
27 I adjure you by the Lord that the letter be read to all the holy brothers.
Ngunnajisya mu liina lya Ambuje kuti mwasyomele chikalata chi ŵandu wose ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you. Truly.
Tukunsachilanga umbone wa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
