1 Thessalonians 4
1 And furthermore we beseeche you, brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Iesus, that ye increase more and more, as ye haue receiued of vs, how ye ought to walke, and to please God.
Nʼikpeazụ, ụmụnna anyị, anyị na-arịọ ma na-akwagidekwa unu nʼime Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, dị ka unu mụtara site nʼaka anyị otu unu kwesiri isi bie ndụ, nakwa ime ihe ga-atọ Chineke ụtọ. Unu na-eme nke a karịa.
2 For ye knowe what commandements we gaue you by the Lord Iesus.
Nʼihi na unu maara ụdị ndụmọdụ ahụ sị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị Jisọs nke anyị nyere unu.
3 For this is the will of God euen your sanctification, and that ye should abstaine from fornication,
Nʼihi na nke a bụ ọchịchọ Chineke, bụ ị dị nsọ unu. Ka unu wezuga onwe unu site na ịkwa iko,
4 That euery one of you should know, how to possesse his vessell in holines and honour,
ka onye ọbụla nʼime unu mata ido ahụ nke onwe ya nʼugwu na nʼịdị nsọ.
5 And not in the lust of concupiscence, euen as the Gentiles which know not God:
Ọ bụghị nʼụzọ imejupụta ọchịchọ ọjọọ nke anụ ahụ dị ka ndị mba ọzọ na-amaghị Chineke.
6 That no man oppresse or defraude his brother in any matter: for the Lord is auenger of all such thinges, as we also haue tolde you before time, and testified.
Ka onye ọbụla ghara imegbu maọbụ ịghọgbu nwanna ya nʼokwu a. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ata onye na-eme ihe dị otu a ahụhụ, dị ka anyị gwara unu na mbụ, na-adọsikwa unu aka na ntị ike.
7 For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse.
Nʼihi na ọkpụkpọ Chineke kpọrọ anyị abụghị ka anyị na-ebi ndụ adịghị ọcha kama ọ chọrọ ka anyị dịrị nsọ.
8 Hee therefore that despiseth these thinges, despiseth not man, but God who hath euen giuen you his holy Spirit.
Ya mere, onye ọbụla nke jụrụ ịnara ntụziaka a, ọ bụghị mmadụ ka ọ jụrụ, kama ọ bụ Chineke onye na-enye unu Mmụọ Nsọ ya.
9 But as touching brotherly loue, ye neede not that I write vnto you: for ye are taught of God to loue one another.
Ugbu a, ihe gbasara ịhụnanya nke kwesiri ịdị nʼetiti ụmụnna, o kwesighị ka anyị gwa unu ihe ọzọ banyere ya. Nʼihi na unu onwe unu bụ ndị Chineke kuziri ka unu nwee ịhụnanya nʼebe ibe unu nọ.
10 Yea, and that thing verily yee doe vnto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more,
Ma nʼezie, unu na-ahụ ụmụnna anyị niile bi na Masidonia nʼanya. Ma anyị na-arịọsịkwa unu arịrịọ ike sị unu na-ahụkwa ha nʼanya karịa ka unu hụrụ ha ugbu a.
11 And that ye studie to be quiet, and to meddle with your owne busines, and to worke with your owne handes, as we commanded you,
Nweenụ agụụ ibi ndụ nwayọọ, na-arụkwanụ ọrụ dịịrị unu. Jirikwanụ aka unu na-arụ ọrụ dịka anyị gwara unu,
12 That yee may behaue your selues honestly towarde them that are without, and that nothing be lacking vnto you.
nke a ga-eme ka ndụ unu na-ebi kwa ụbọchị wetara unu nsọpụrụ nʼebe ndị na-ekweghị ekwe nọ, meekwa ka unu ghara i dabere nʼonye ọbụla.
13 I would not, brethren, haue you ignorant concerning them which are a sleepe, that ye sorow not euen as other which haue no hope.
Ụmụnna m, anyị chọrọ ka unu mata ihe banyere ndị otu anyị ndị dara nʼụra ọnwụ, ya ewutela unu dịka o si ewute ndị ọzọ ndị na-enweghị olileanya.
14 For if we beleeue that Iesus is dead, and is risen, euen so them which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him.
Nʼihi na ebe ọ bụ na anyị kweere na Jisọs nwụrụ ma sitekwa nʼọnwụ bilie, nʼotu aka ahụ, anyị kwenyekwara na site na Jisọs, Chineke ga-akpọlite ndị niile nwụrụ anwụ.
15 For this say we vnto you by the worde of the Lord, that we which liue, and are remayning in the comming of the Lord, shall not preuent them which sleepe.
Nʼihi na okwu nke Onyenwe anyị nke anyị na-akụziri unu bụ nke a, na anyị ndị dị ndụ ruo ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị agaghị ebu ndị dara nʼụra ọnwụ ụzọ.
16 For the Lord himselfe shall descende from heauen with a shoute, and with the voyce of the Archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya ga-esi nʼeluigwe rịdata, ọ ga-ewere olu ike kpọọ oku, werekwa olu nke onyeisi ndị mmụọ ozi na ụda opi ike nke Chineke. Mgbe ahụ ndị niile nwụrụ nʼime Kraịst ga-ebu ụzọ bilie.
17 Then shall we which liue and remaine, be caught vp with them also in the clouds, to meete the Lord in the ayre: and so shall we euer be with the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ, anyị onwe anyị, ndị dị ndụ, ndị fọdụrụ nʼụwa, ka a ga-eweli anyị na ha elu nʼime igwe ojii, ịga izute Onyenwe anyị na mbara eluigwe, ebe anyị na Onyenwe anyị ga-anọ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
18 Wherefore, comfort your selues one another with these wordes.
Ya mere, werenụ okwu ndị a, na-agba onwe unu ume mgbe niile.
