1 Thessalonians 5
1 Bvt of the times and seasons, brethren, yee haue no neede that I write vnto you.
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ũhoro wa mahinda na mĩthenya-rĩ, tũtirĩ na bata wa kũmwandĩkĩra,
2 For ye your selues knowe perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall come, euen as a thiefe in the night.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmũũĩ wega atĩ mũthenya wa Mwathani ũgooka o ta ũrĩa mũici okaga ũtukũ.
3 For when they shall say, Peace, and safetie, then shall come vpon them sudden destruction, as the trauaile vpon a woman with childe, and they shall not escape,
O rĩrĩa andũ maroiga atĩrĩ, “Kũrĩ thayũ na ũgitĩri,” hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo magaakorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko o rĩmwe, o ta ũrĩa mũtumia ũrĩ nda akoragĩrĩrwo nĩ ruo rwa kũheo mwana, nao matikahonoka.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkenes, that that day shall come on you, as it were a thiefe.
No inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mũtirĩ nduma-inĩ atĩ nĩguo mũthenya ũcio ũmũkorerere ta mũici.
5 Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, neither of darkenesse.
Inyuĩ inyuothe mũrĩ ciana cia ũtheri na ciana cia mũthenya. Ithuĩ tũtirĩ a ũtukũ kana a nduma.
6 Therefore let vs not sleepe as do other, but let vs watch and be sober.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtũtigei gũkoma ta acio angĩ, no nĩtũikarage twĩiguĩte na tũkerigagĩrĩria maũndũ.
7 For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night.
Nĩgũkorwo arĩa makomaga-rĩ, makomaga ũtukũ, na arĩa marĩĩagwo nĩ njoohi-rĩ, marĩĩagwo ũtukũ.
8 But let vs which are of the day, be sober, putting on the brest plate of faith and loue, and of the hope of saluation for an helmet.
No kuona atĩ ithuĩ tũrĩ a mũthenya-rĩ, nĩtũtuĩke a kwĩgirĩrĩria maũndũ, twĩhumbĩte gako ga kũgitĩra gĩthũri karĩa ka wĩtĩkio na ka wendani, na tũgekĩra ũhoro wa kwĩrĩgĩrĩra ũhonokio taarĩ ngũbia ya kĩgera ya kũgitĩra mũtwe.
9 For God hath not appointed vs vnto wrath, but to obtaine saluation by the meanes of our Lord Iesus Christ,
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ndaatwamũrire nĩguo tũtuĩke a kũrakarĩrwo, no nĩtũtuĩke a kwamũkĩra ũhonokio thĩinĩ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
10 Which died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.
We nĩatũkuĩrĩire nĩgeetha, twakorwo twĩiguĩte kana tũkomete-rĩ, tũgaatũũrania hamwe nake.
11 Wherefore exhort one another, and edifie one another, euen as ye doe.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ũmanagĩrĩriai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ na mwĩkĩranage hinya o ta ũrĩa mũreka rĩu.
12 Nowe we beseeche you, brethren, that ye acknowledge them, which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lord, and admonish you,
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, twamũthaitha mũtĩĩage andũ arĩa marutaga wĩra na kĩyo thĩinĩ wanyu, arĩa matuĩtwo arori anyu na makamũtaaraga thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
13 That yee haue them in singular loue for their workes sake. Bee at peace among your selues.
Mekagĩrĩrei mũno makĩria na mũmendage nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũcio marutaga. Tũũranagiai na thayũ mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
14 We desire you, brethren, admonish them that are out of order: comfort ye feeble minded: beare with the weake: be pacient toward all men.
Na ningĩ nĩtũkũmũringĩrĩria, inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mũkaanagie andũ arĩa igũũta, na mũũmagĩrĩrie arĩa marĩ guoya, na mũteithagie arĩa matarĩ hinya, na mũkiragĩrĩrie andũ othe.
15 See that none recompense euil for euil vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both toward your selues, and toward all men.
Menyagĩrĩrai gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkũrĩhĩria ũũru na ũũru, no hĩndĩ ciothe geragiai gũtugana inyuĩ-ene, na mũtugage andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
16 Reioyce euermore.
Kenagai hĩndĩ ciothe;
17 Pray continually.
hooyagai mũtegũtigithĩria;
18 In all thinges giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus toward you.
cookagĩriai Ngai ngaatho maũndũ-inĩ mothe, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo Ngai endaga harĩ inyuĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
Mũtikanahorie mwaki wa Roho;
20 Despise not prophecying.
mũtikanaire ũhoro ũrĩa ũrathagwo.
21 Try all things, and keepe that which is good.
Roranagiai maũndũ mothe. Rũmagiai maũndũ marĩa mega.
22 Absteine from all appearance of euill.
Theemagai ũndũ o wothe mũũru.
23 Nowe the very God of peace sanctifie you throughout: and I pray God that your whole spirite and soule and body, may be kept blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ.
Ngai we mwene, o we Ngai wa thayũ, aromũtheria o kũna. Namo maroho manyu, na ngoro cianyu, o na mĩĩrĩ yanyu, iroikaragio itarĩ na ũcuuke hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ agaacooka.
24 Faithfull is hee which calleth you, which will also doe it.
Ũrĩa ũmwĩtaga inyuĩ nĩ mwĩhokeku, na nĩakahingia ũhoro ũcio.
25 Brethren, pray for vs.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, tũhooyagĩrei.
26 Greete all the brethren with an holy kisse.
Geithiai ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe na ngeithi theru cia kĩmumunyano.
27 I charge you in the Lord, that this Epistle be read vnto all the brethren the Saintes.
Nĩndamwatha ndĩ mbere ya Mwathani atĩ marũa maya mathomerwo ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe.
28 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you, Amen. ‘The first Epistle vnto the Thessalonians written from Athens.’
Wega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ ũrogĩa na inyuĩ.
