1 Thessalonians 4
1 Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.
Ni klekle, mri vayi, kisi bre nimi Bachi mbu Yesu dun yi kri gbamgba. Na wa bi wo ki bla hla ni yiwu nitu dun yi zren bi ni nkoh Irji, u bika zren tohki ndi kpa suron Irji kasi.
2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
U bi toh ndi ikpe wa ki bla hla ni yiwu ahe ni nkoh Bachi Yesu.
3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
Wayi mba ahi tie u Irji, ndi nglah iddri mbi, don dun yi wru-hleh ni ittre u kru ni-mbah,
4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,
don dun wawu-mbi toh ndi nji kpambi ni nkoh wa abi,
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who do not know God,
ana ndi dun yi tie memme na biwa bana toh Irji ba tie na.
6 that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
Dun ndjro na ya mri vayi ma grjigrji nitu-ttre yi na. Don Irji mba ni kpa nyu mba toh bi tie naki, na wa ki gbii-tohn mbi ndi bla hla.
7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
U Irji yoh ta rhi ni-ikpahn ddri, ana kpa iddri mbu tie-rji na.
8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
Nitu kii, indji wa a kama ni ttre yi, ana kama ni ndji na, a kama ni Irji, waa ka suron ndindima nu.
9 But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
Ni mgbala'u sohn mmri vayi'a, ana ndi dun ndjori ngna noh yi rhi bika toh na, u biyi kimbi bi toh ndi ahi Irji nikima a tsuro yi dun yi sohn kpambi.
10 for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
Naki, bi ka tie wayi ni wawu mmri vayi wa ba he ni wawu Masidoniya. U kina ka chuwo ni hla niyiwu dun yi vu tre yi nji mgbamgba me na, mmri vayi.
11 and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you,
Ki hla yiwu ngari ndi dun ki noyi gbemgblen dun yi soh bi, ndi vu-kpeh wa'a he ko shishi mbi, ndi tie ndu nì-wóh mbi, nawa ki bla zi yiwu,
12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
don dun yi zrehn ni nkoh ndindima ni shishi ndji bi kora u ndi na rhii ni-yyá na.
13 But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
Kita kina son dun yi kado na, immri vayi, nitu biwa ba krunna, don dun yi na yih na imbru-ndji biwa bana toh nitu njanji u ko-sshi'a na.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
U tó bi kpa-nyime ndi Yesu kwu nda tashime rji ni kwu-a ngari, naki, Irji ni nji ivvri biwa ba krunna ni nkoh ma kmaye.
15 For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
Wayi ki bla hla ni yiwu ni-ttre Bachi, ndi kita biwa ki ri si vvri-a, wa a don ta ki toh ye u Bachi-a, kina guchi ni biwa ba krunna-a na.
16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
Irji kima ani grji ye ni meme rji ni shulu. Ani ye nda yo gbamgba, ni lan u nigra bi gben ni koh Irji, u nda ni nvrih injon u Irji, u biwa ba kwu nimi Yesu'a ba rju guchi.
17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
U kita biwa ki ri si vri'a, wa ki ri he ni gbumgblu'a, kita ni biwa ba kwu'a ki lu hon hi toh Bachi ni shulu. ni naki ki sita sohn ni Bachi.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Nitu ki, bika si kpa suron mbi kusi ni-ttre bi yí.
