1 Thessalonians 5
1 Bvt of the times and seasons, brethren, yee haue no neede that I write vnto you.
Ugbu a, ụmụnna, banyere oge na mgbe ihe ndị a ga-emezu. Echeghị m na ọ dị mkpa i degara unu akwụkwọ.
2 For ye your selues knowe perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall come, euen as a thiefe in the night.
Dị ka unu maara nke ọma na ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị ga-abịa dị ka onye ohi si abịa nʼabalị.
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,
Mgbe ha ga na-asị udo, na nchekwa dị, mgbe ahụ, na mberede, mbibi ga-abịakwasị ha dị ka ihe mgbu sị adakwasị nwanyị ime na-eme, nke ga-eme ka onye ọbụla ghara inwe ike ịgbapụ.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkenes, that that day shall come on you, as it were a thiefe.
Ma unu onwe unu, ụmụnna, anọghị nʼọchịchịrị, nke ụbọchị ahụ ga-abịakwasị unu na mberede dịka onye ohi.
5 Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, neither of darkenesse.
Unu niile bụ ụmụ nke ìhè na ụmụ nke ehihie, anyị abụkwaghị nke ọchịchịrị maọbụ nke abalị.
6 Therefore let vs not sleepe as do other, but let vs watch and be sober.
Nʼihi nke a, ka anyị ghara ịdị na-arahụ ụra dị ka ndị ọzọ, kama ka anyị mụrụ anya ka anya dokwaa anyị.
7 For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night.
Nʼihi na abalị bụ mgbe ndị na-arahụ ụra ji arahụ ụra. Ọ bụkwa nʼabalị ka ndị mmanya na-egbu na-aṅụbiga mmanya oke.
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.
Ma ebe anyị niile bụ ndị nke ihe, ka anyị bụrụ ndị anya doro, ndị yi okwukwe na ịhụnanya dịka ihe ikpuchi obi, yikwasịkwa olileanya nke nzọpụta dị ka okpu igwe.
9 For God hath not appointed vs vnto wrath, but to obtaine saluation by the meanes of our Lord Iesus Christ,
Nʼihi na Chineke akwadebeghị ikpe ọmụma na egwu nye anyị. Kama ka anyị nweta nzọpụta site nʼokwukwe anyị nwere nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
10 Which died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.
Ọ nwụrụ nʼihi anyị ka ọ bụrụ, ma anyị dị ndụ ma anyị nwụrụ anwụ, anyị ga-esoro ya dịrị ndụ.
11 Wherefore exhort one another, and edifie one another, euen as ye doe.
Ya mere, na-akasịrịtanụ onwe unu obi. Na-emekwanụ ihe ọbụla ga-ewuli ibe unu elu dị ka unu si eme.
12 Nowe we beseeche you, brethren, that ye acknowledge them, which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lord, and admonish you,
Anyị na-arịọsị unu ike, ụmụnna, ka unu na-asọpụrụ ndị niile na-adọgbu onwe ha nʼọrụ nʼihi unu, ndị ahụ na-elekọta unu nʼime ọrụ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị ahụ na-adụ unu ọdụ.
13 That yee haue them in singular loue for their workes sake. Bee at peace among your selues.
Ka unu na-akwanyere ha ugwu site nʼịhụnanya nʼihi ụdị ọrụ ha na-arụ. Ka unu na mmadụ ibe unu birikwa nʼudo.
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.
Ma ugbu a, anyị na-arịọ unu, ụmụnna, na-adụnụ ndị na-anọ nkịtị ọdụ, na-agbanụ ndị dara mba ume, nyerenụ ndị na-adịghị ike aka, nwekwanụ ndidi nʼebe ha niile nọ.
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.
Ka onye ọbụla ghara inyeghachi mmadụ ibe ya ihe ọjọọ nʼọnọdụ ihe ọjọọ. Kama gbalịsienụ ike ime ezi ihe nʼebe ibe unu nọ na nʼebe mmadụ niile nọ.
16 Reioyce euermore.
Na-aṅụrịnụ ọṅụ oge niile.
17 Pray continually.
Na-ekpenụ ekpere oge niile na-esepụghị aka.
18 In all thinges giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus toward you.
Na-enyenụ ekele mgbe niile banyere ihe niile, nʼihi na nke a bụ ọchịchọ Chineke banyere unu ndị bụ nke Kraịst Jisọs.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
Unu emenyụla ọkụ Mmụọ Nsọ.
20 Despise not prophecying.
Ọzọ unu eledala okwu ndị amụma anya.
21 Try all things, and keepe that which is good.
Kama na-anwalenụ ihe niile ma na-ejidesikwanụ ihe niile dị mma aka ike.
22 Absteine from all appearance of euill.
Wezuganụ onwe unu nʼihe ọjọọ niile.
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.
Ka Chineke ya onwe ya, bụ Chineke nke udo, doo unu nsọ nʼụzọ niile. Ka e debezuo mmụọ unu na mkpụrụobi unu na anụ ahụ unu nsọ, na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla ruo ụbọchị ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
24 Faithfull is hee which calleth you, which will also doe it.
Onye ahụ kpọrọ unu ga-emezu ihe ndị a, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
25 Brethren, pray for vs.
Biko ụmụnna, na-ekperenụ anyị ekpere.
26 Greete all the brethren with an holy kisse.
Werenụ isurita ọnụ dị nsọ na-ekele ụmụnna anyị dum.
27 I charge you in the Lord, that this Epistle be read vnto all the brethren the Saintes.
Iwu m na-enye unu site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị bụ ka unu gụpụta akwụkwọ a nʼihu ụmụnna niile.
28 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you, Amen. ‘The first Epistle vnto the Thessalonians written from Athens.’
Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere unu niile.
