1 Thessalonians 5
1 Brothers and sisters, we don't need to write anything to you about prophetic times and dates.
Mbe woli, kwe emisango jo mwanya na akatungu, bhaili chitalio chinu chona chona chinu echitula okwandikwa kwemwe.
2 You yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
Kulwo kubha emwe abhene mumenyele abhwelu ati olusiku lwa Latabhugenyi oluja lwa kutyo omwifi kaja mugeta.
3 When people talk about peace and security suddenly they will be completely ruined. It will be just like the sudden onset of childbirth, and they certainly won't escape.
Anu abhaika ati gulio “omulebhe no obhuchulele”, Kasi ao nio obhunyamuke obhubhejila bhwangu. Ni lwa kutyo obhusungu obhumwijila mai unu ana inda. bhatakwichunda mu njila yona yona.
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark about this so that you won't be caught by surprise when the Day of Judgment arrives suddenly like a thief.
Mbe nawe emwe, bhaili mutali mu chisute kukinga olusiku lulya lubhejile lwo mwifi.
5 For you are all children of light and children of the day. We don't belong to the night or to darkness.
Kulwo kubha emwe bhona muli bhana bha mu bhwelu na bhana bha mu mwisi. Eswe chitali bhana bha mugeta amwi bha mu chisute.
6 So then we shouldn't be sleeping like everybody else—we should stay awake and keep ourselves clear-headed.
Kwibhyo woli, chasiga kumama lwa bhandi kutyo abhana. Mbe nawe chitengeje no kubha bhanu bhanu bhetegelesisha.
7 For it's during the night that people sleep; and it's at night that they get drunk.
Kulwo kubha bhanu abhamama abhamama mugeta na bhanu abhatamila abhatamila mugeta.
8 But since we belong to the day we should keep our heads clear, strapping on the breastplate of trust and love, and putting on as a helmet the hope of salvation.
Kulwo kubha eswe chili bhana bha mu mwisi, kwiile chibhe bhetegelesha. Chifwale ing'ubha ye likilisha no kwenda, na ingofila ye chuma, inu ili chimali cho mwelulo gwo mwanya gunu oguja.
9 For God hasn't placed us in a position to be punished, but has reserved us for salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga atachisolele ku bhwambilo kulwa lisungu, mbe nawe kwo kubhona omwelulo mu njila ya Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
10 He's the one who died for us so that whether we're alive or dead we shall live together with him.
Omwene niwe achifwilie koleleki ati, nolwo chibhe nichilola amwi chikale, echigendelela okulama amwi nage.
11 So encourage and strengthen one another, just as you are doing.
Mbe kulwejo, musilishanyega no kumbakana abhene kwa bhenene, lwa kutyo muli bhwangu okukola.
12 Brothers and sisters, we're asking you to respect those who work with you, who lead you in the Lord and teach you.
Bhaili, echibhasabhwa mubhamenye bhalya bhanu abhakola agati-gati yemwe na bhalya bhanu bhali ingulu yemwe mu Latabhugenyi na bhalya bhanu abhabhatongela.
13 You should value them highly in love for the work they do. Live in peace with each other.
Echibhasabhwa one mubhamenye no kubhayana echibhalikisho mu lyenda ku nsonga ye milimu jebhwe. Mubhe no mulembe agati-gati yemwe emwe abhene.
14 We urge you, brothers and sisters, to warn those who are lazy, encourage those who are anxious, help those who are weak, and be patient with everyone.
Mbe nawe echibhelembelesha, bhaili: Mubhagonye bhanu bhatakulibhatila mu bhwitondi, mubhatemo omwoyo bhanu bhatamilwe, mubhasakile bhanu bhalengae na mubhe bhegumilisha ku bhona.
15 Make sure none of you pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to one another, and to everyone.
Mbe mwikenge asiga kubhakumanya munu wona wona unu kaliya echibhibhi kwe chibhibhi ku munu wona wona. Okwiya, nulole ganu gali ge kisi ku bhuli umwi wemwe na ku bhanu bhona.
16 Always be full of joy,
Mukondelelwe nsiku jone.
17 never stop praying,
Musabhwe kusa uli.
18 be thankful in every situation—because this is what God in Christ Jesus wants you to do.
Mumusimega Nyamuanga ku bhuli musango, kunsonga okwo ni kokwenda kwa Nyamuanga kwemwe mu Yesu Kristo.
19 Don't hold the Spirit back,
Mwasigo omusimya Mwoyo Mwelu.
20 don't look down on prophecy,
Mwasiga obhugaya obhulagi.
21 make sure to check everything. Hold onto whatever is good;
Mugalegeje amasango gona. Muligwate linu Lili lye kisi.
22 keep away from every kind of evil.
Mwibheleleke bhuli chibhibhi chinu echibhonekana.
23 May the God of peace himself make you completely holy, and may your whole being—body, mind and spirit—be kept blameless for when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
Nyamuanga wo mulembe abhakumishe mu bhulengelesi. bhwo Mwoyo, obhwo bhuanga, no bhwo mubhili bhibhikwe nyako uli mu kuja kwaye Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.
24 The one who calls you is trustworthy, and he will do this.
Omwene unu abhabhilikie ni mwiikanyibhwa, mbe omwene niwe owo kakola.
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
Bhaili, muchisabhile one.
26 Greet all the believers there affectionately.
Mubhakeshe abhaili bhona kwo kunyunyana kulengelesi.
27 I'm requiring you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the believers.
Enibhelembelesha mu Latabhugenyi ati inyalubha inu isomwe ku bhaili bhona.
28 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Echigongo cha Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo chibhe amwi nemwe.
