1 Thessalonians 4
1 Finally, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live in a way that is pleasing to God, just as you have received from us. This is how you already live, so you should do so all the more.
Panyambele, aluna, ku umukinyila nu kumusinja kung'wa Yesu Kristo. Anga nai musingiiye u ulingasiilyi puma ki taitu mpyani ni mutakiwe kugendeela nu kumuloeelya Itunda. Ku nzila yiyo ga mugendeele nu kituma ikilo.
2 For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
Ku nsoko mulingile ingi ulingasi kii nai kuminkiiye kukiila Mukulu uYesu.
3 For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality;
Kunsoko nanso yayo ulowa nuang'wa Itunda: u weligwa nuanyu - kina mu uhuge u ugoolya,
4 each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
Kina kila ung'wi anyu walinge i mpyani a ku ungatila u musungu nuakwe mukola mu welu nu upolo.
5 not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
Leka kutula nu musungu kunsoko a nsula a muili (anga anyaingu ni shanga amulingile Itunda).
6 and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
Waleke kutula umoli u mutu wihi nuika puta i mimbi nu kumusasha u muluna nuakwe ku nsoko a lukani ulu. Kunsoko uMukulu yuyo mukola kususha ikuo ku makani ihi aya, anga nai katulaa katongelaa kuakania nu kua kuiila.
7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
Ku nsoko uMukulu shanga ai ukitangile ku ushapu, ila ku welu.
8 Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
Ku lulo nuilihitaa ili shanga wiahitaa i antu, ila wimuhitaa Itunda, nuiminkiilya uNg'wau Ng'welu nuakwe.
9 Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
Kutula ulowa nua aluna, Kutili i nsula a muntu wihi ku ukilisilya, kunsoko mumanyisigwe nu Itunda kilowa nyenye ku nyenye.
10 And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more
Kulu kuulu, ai itumile aya ihi ku aluna niamoli ku Makedonia ihi, kuiti ku umusinja, aluna, mitume ga ni ikilo.
11 and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.
Ku umusinja muhung'we nsula kikie likalo nula utigi, kukela i milimo anyu, nu kituma i mulimo ku mikono anyu, anga nai kumusingilye.
12 Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.
Itume aya iti uhume kugendeela iziza nu ku upolo ku awo niamoli kunzi a u huiili, iti uleke kukepelwa nu winzi wihi.
13 Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
Shanga kuloilwe unyenye mulinge nishanga tai, unye aluna, migulya a awo ni alae, iti muleke kisusumya anga angiiza ni agila anga kulu kuulu kutula itungo ni lipembilye.
14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
Anga itule ku uhuiie kina uYesu ai ukule nu kiuuka hangi, iti uu Itunda ukualeta palung'wi nu Yesu awo nialae insha mu ng'waakwe.
15 By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
Ku nsoko a ayo ku umutambuila u nyenye ku lukani nula Mukulu, kina usese ni kukoli kiapanga, ni kikatula kukoli itungo nila kupembya kitalakwe uMukulu, kulu kuulu shanga kika atongeela awo nialae mu nsha.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
Ku nsoko uMukulu mukola ukusima puma mu malunde. Ukupembya nu luli lukulu, palung'wi nu luli nulang'wa malaika nu mukulu, palung'wi ni kinembu kang'wa Itunda, ni enso nai atulaa akuza mung'wa Kristo aki uka hanza.
17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
Uugwa usese ni kiapanga, ni kusagile, ki kihanguila mu malunde palung'wi ni enso kumusingiilya uMukulu migulya. Ku nzila iyi ku utula nu Mukulu mahiku ihi.
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Ku lulo, mi poeelye nyenye ku nyenye ku mukani aya.
