1 Thessalonians 4
1 As to the rest, then, brothers, we request, and call on you in the Lord Jesus, as you received from us how it is necessary for you to walk and to please God, that you may abound the more,
EIA hou neia, e na hoahanau, ke nonoi aku nei makou me ka hooikaika aku ia oukou ma o Iesu Kristo la, e like me ka pono a oukou i lohe mai ai ia makou e hele ai oukou, a e hooluolu ai i ke Akua, pela hoi oukou e hoomahuahua mau aku ai.
2 for you have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus;
Ua ike hoi oukou i na kauoha a makou i haawi aku ai ia oukou ma ka Haku, ma o Iesu la.
3 for this is the will of God—your sanctification: that you abstain from the whoredom,
Eia hoi ka makemake o ke Akua, o ko oukou maemae ana, i haalele loa oukou i ka moe kolohe;
4 that each of you know to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
I ike hoi oukou a pau i ka malama i kana ipu ae, a i kana ipu ae, me ka maemae a me ka maikai.
5 not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
Aole ma ke kuko ino wale, e like me na lahuikanaka, ka poe ike ole i ke Akua,
6 that no one goes beyond and defrauds his brother in the matter, because the LORD [is] an avenger of all these, as we also spoke to you before and testified,
Aole make hoopoho kekahi, aole ka hoomake hewa i ka kona hoahanau i kekahi mea; no ka mea, o ka Haku ka mea nana ia poe e hoopai mai, oia ka makou i hai mua aku ai me ka hoike e aku ia oukou.
7 for God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.
Aole ke Akua i hea mai ia kakou no ka haumia, aka, no ka hemolele no.
8 He, therefore, who is despising, does not despise man, but God, who also gave His Holy Spirit to us.
O ka mea hoi i hoowahawaha mai, aole ia i hoowahawaha i ke kanaka, i ke Akua no nana i haawi mai i kona Uhane Hemolele ia makou.
9 And concerning the brotherly love, you have no need of [my] writing to you, for you yourselves are God-taught to love one another,
A o ke aloha hoahanau hoi, aole o oukou hemahema e pono ai au ke palapala aku ia oukou; no ka mea, ua aoia mai oukou e ke Akua e aloha i kekahi i kekahi
10 for you do it also to all the brothers who [are] in all Macedonia; and we call on you, brothers, to abound still more,
Oia hoi, o ka oukou ia e hana'i i na hoahanau a pau ma Makedonia a puni; a, ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oukou, e na hoahanau, e hoomahuahua nui ae oukou.
11 and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,
A e imi oukou e noho malie me ka hana aku i ka oukou hana iho, a, me ko oukou mau lima iho e hana'i, e like me ka makou kauoha ana'ku ia oukou;
12 that you may walk properly to those outside, and may have lack of nothing.
I pono ka oukou hele ana imua o ka poe o waho, a i nele ole hoi oukou i kekahi mea.
13 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that you may not sorrow, as also the rest who have no hope,
Aole hoi au i makemake, e na hoahanau, e naaupo oukou no ka poe i hiamoe, i ole ai oukou e kumakena, e like me ka poe manaolana ole.
14 for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God will bring with Him those asleep through Jesus,
No ka mea, ina i manaoio kakou, na make aku la o Iesu, a ua ala hou mai, pela no hoi ke Akua e lawe pu mai ai me ia i ka poe e hiamoe aua iloko o Iesu.
15 for we say this to you in the word of the LORD, that we who are living—who remain over to the coming of the LORD—may not precede those asleep,
Eia ka makou e olelo aku nei ia oukou ma ka olelo a ka Haku, o kakou ka poe e ola ana i ka hiki ana mai o ka Haku, aole kakou e hiki e aku mamua o ka poe e hiamoe ana.
16 because the LORD Himself, with a shout, with the voice of a chief-messenger, and with the trumpet of God, will come down from Heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first;
No ka mea, e iho io mai no ka Haku mai ka lani mai, me ka hooho, a me ka leo o ka luna auela, a me ka pu a ke Akua; a o ka poe make iloko o Kristo ke ala e mai.
17 then we who are living, who are remaining over, will be snatched up together with them in [the] clouds to meet the LORD in [the] air, and so we will always be with the LORD;
Alaila e kaili pu ia'ku kakou ka poe i koe e ola okoa ana, me lakou, iloko o na ao kaalelewa e halawai pu me ka Haku, i ka lewa; oia hoi, e mau loa ana ko kakou noho ana me ka Haku.
18 so, then, comfort one another with these words.
Nolaila hoi e hooluolu oukou i kekahi i kekahi ma keia mau huaolelo.
