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.
Pakupwililisha mobanse, mwalaiya kupitila mubwikalo bwetu mbuli ncomwela kwikala kwambeti mukondweleshe Lesa. Nomba ubu ebwikalo mbomwayandikanga kuba nabo, neco tulamusengenga muli lya Mwami Yesu kwambeti mweleshe kwinsa cangofu kupita ncemwalikwinsa.
2 For ye knowe what commandements we gaue you by the Lord Iesus.
Pakwinga mwaishi cena malailile ngotwalamupa kupitila mungofu sha Mwami Yesu.
3 For this is the will of God euen your sanctification, and that ye should abstaine from fornication,
Lesa layandangeti mube baswepa, ne kutensa bufule.
4 That euery one of you should know, how to possesse his vessell in holines and honour,
Uliyense pakati penu enshibe kulela cena mubili wakendi, pakulemeka nekubamba cena, ne kutausafwanya.
5 And not in the lust of concupiscence, euen as the Gentiles which know not God:
Kamutakomkelanga lunkumbwa lwasesemya mbuli ncebakute kwinsa bantu bakunsa batamwinshi Lesa.
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.
Neco, mumakani awa, kapataba muntu shikwinshila munendi caipa, nambi kumulyela masuku pamutwi. Twalamwambilisha kendi kwambeti Lesa nakabape cisubulo bantu bonse beshikwinsa bintu byamushoboyu.
7 For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse.
Pakwinga Lesa nkalatukuwa kwambeti twinsenga bintu byaipa byabupombo, nsombi kuba baswepa.
8 Hee therefore that despiseth these thinges, despiseth not man, but God who hath euen giuen you his holy Spirit.
Neco na muntu lakana ciyisho ici, ekwambeti nkalakananga muntu sobwe, nsombi lakana Lesa uyo ukute kumupa Mushimu Uswepa.
9 But as touching brotherly loue, ye neede not that I write vnto you: for ye are taught of God to loue one another.
Lino nkandelela kumulembela sha lusuno pakati penu, pakwinga Lesa walamwiyisha kendi mbuli ncomwelela kuyandana umo ne umo.
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,
Kayi mukute kuyanda banenu bonse bamu cishi ca Makedoniya. Nsombi tulamusengenga mobanse, kwambeti mwinse copeleco kupita kaindi.
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,
Kamweleshani kwikala mubuyumi bwa lumuno, uliyense ashe mano ku ncito yakendi, kayi nekulicanina bintu bilayandikingga mubuyumi. Kamwinsani mbuli ncetwalamwambila.
12 That yee may behaue your selues honestly towarde them that are without, and that nothing be lacking vnto you.
Munshila ilico, bantu batamwinshi Lesa nibakamupe bulemu, kayi nteti mukacunke manungo pali muntu uliyense mu bintu mbyemwabulilwa.
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.
Mobanse, tulayandanga kwambeti mwinshibe cancinencine sha makani abantu abo balafwa, kwambeti kulila kwenu kakutabeti bantu babula ncebalapembelelenga.
14 For if we beleeue that Iesus is dead, and is risen, euen so them which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him.
Pakwinga afwe twashoma kwambeti Yesu walafwa kayi walapunduka. Neco twashoma kwambeti bantu bonse abo balafwa kabali bashoma Yesu, Lesa nakabapundushe pamo ne Yesu.
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.
Lino tulamwiyishinga ciyisho ca Mwami mwine. Kwambeti afwe otucili bayumi kushikila Yesu akese, nteti tukabatangunine balafwa sobwe.
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:
Pakwinga nipakabe kompolola kwangofu, liswi lya mungelo mukulene ne liswi lya tolompita ya Lesa. Popelapo Mwami nakaseluke kufuma kwilu. Abo balafwila muli Yesu eshibakatangune kupunduka.
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.
Lino nenjafwe eshitukabenga bayumi pacindico, etitukashalepo, nitukamantwe pamo nendibo, ne kuya kukumana ne Mwami mwilu.
18 Wherefore, comfort your selues one another with these wordes.
Neco kamuyumishanani umo ne umo sha maswi awa.
