< 1 Thessalonians 4 >
1 Now, my fellow believers, [I want to write] about some other matters. Because we all have a close relationship with the Lord Jesus, we(exc) strongly urge you [DOU] to live in a way that pleases God. We taught you to do that, and you know that we lived that way as a result of what the Lord Jesus [told us]. We know that you are conducting your lives that way, but [we strongly urge] that you do that even more.
Waholo tihuwapela umoyo tihuwalawa hwa Yesu uKilisti. Shila shatiyenje mposheye afume hulite shihwanziwa ajende, husaye Ungolobhe, idala elioliamuwalaje hani.
Mumenye ziatiwawozezie ashilile hwa Yesu aje zyenu.
3 God wants you to live pure lives that will show that you completely belong to him. He wants you to avoid doing any sexually immoral acts (OR, avoid being sexually immoral in any way).
Ego miza hwa Ngolobhe: Huyozye ahane izinaa,
4 [That is, he wants] each one of you to know how to control your own sexual desires [EUP]. He wants you to live pure lives that all people will see as good.
Wekaweka amenye akhale nushi wakwe mwene huumoyo uzelu ni shishi.
5 You must not lustfully desire [to do] immoral acts as unbelievers [MTY] [do] who do not obey God.
Usahawe nushii wanyonywe nubele (nazi awatu wamusi wasaga wamwenye Ungolobhe).
6 [God wants each one of you to control your sexual desires, in order that] no one of you sin against your fellow believer and take advantage of him or her by doing things like that. Remember that we strongly warned you previously [DOU] that the Lord [Jesus] will punish all [people who do] sexually immoral acts.
Asahawe umuntu wowonti yanzafyemele impaho ziahukosele uholo wakwe, nunongwa ene. U Bwana yuyo asomba isiasa shonti na huwawozye.
7 When God chose us [believers], he did not want us to [be people who] behave in a sexually immoral way. On the contrary, [he wants us] to be [people who] behave in a morally pure way.
Ungolobhe sagaahatukwizizie aje tiwe ni ntavu. Ahatikwizizye tiwe numoyo uzelu.
8 So I warn you that those who disregard [this teaching] of mine [are] not just disregarding me. On the contrary, [they are disregarding] God, [because God commanded it. Remember that] God sent his Spirit, who is holy, [to live] in you!
Eshi yakhanasangakhana watu ahukhana yu Ngolobhe, yahupela Umpepo Ufinjile wakwe.
9 [I want to urge you] again [that you should] love [your] fellow believers [MET]. You do not really need that [anyone] write to you about that, because God has already taught you [how] to love each other,
Hunongwa zya ulugomo waholo waho sagaihusimbila awaamanyizizye Ungolobhe agan'ane tete kwa tete.
10 and because you already are [showing that you love] your fellow believers [HYP] [who live] in other places [in your province] of Macedonia. Nevertheless, my fellow believers, we urge you to [love each other] even more.
Imenye mwahawombile egagonti hwawaholo wawaleho hu Makedonia wonti, Eshi tihuwalawa muwaholo muombe shinza hani.
11 [We urge you] also to eagerly strive/try to mind your own affairs and to not meddle/interfere with the affairs of others. We urge you also to work at your own occupations/jobs [to earn what you need to live]. Remember that we taught you previously to live like that.
Tihuwalawa mnyonywaje akhale musi nupumu humbombozyenyu, na wombeji imbombo hunyowe zyenyu, nazishatiwalajizizye.
12 If you do these things, unbelievers will acknowledge/see that you behave decently/properly, and you will not have to depend on others [to] ([supply/give to you]) [what you need].
Wombaga ega nkujendaje sheinza ni shishi hwawantu wawalihonze wi lweteho, usahagaye liolionti lila.
13 My fellow believers, we also want you to understand well [LIT] [what will happen] to our fellow believers [who now] are dead [EUP]. [You must not be/do like] the unbelievers. They [grieve deeply for people who die because] they do not confidently expect [people to live again after they die].
Sagatihuanza amwe aje msahamanye muwaholo aje ewowagonilegona msahazugumile lihwenza.
14 We [believers] know that it is true that Jesus died and that he came back [to life] again. So [we also know well that] when Jesus returns, God [will cause] those [believers] who died [EUP] [to live again] and to come with [Jesus].
Nkatihweteha aje u Yesu ahafyiye nantele ahazyoshele, Ungolobhe aiwatwala peka nu Yesu wawagonile hwitawa liakwe.
15 [I write this] because the Lord [Jesus] revealed [to me] what I am now telling you. [Some of you may think that] when the Lord [Jesus] comes back, he will consider that we [believers] who are still living will be superior to those [believers] who have died [EUP], because [we will meet Jesus first. That is certainly not true]!
Tihuwawozya amwe hwizwi ilya Bwana aje tiwatutiliwomi lwahaiyenza u Bwana sagatahaiwatangalila wala wagonile ufwe. U Bwana yoyo ahaihwiha afume humwanya. Ahaiyeza peka ni palapanda ya Ngolobhe, wawafwinye hwitawa lya Yesu wahaizyoha.
16 It is the Lord [Jesus] himself who will descend from heaven. [When he comes down, he] will command all of [us believers to rise from their graves]. The chief angel will shout [loudly], and [another angel] will blow a trumpet for God. Then (OR, As a result), the first thing that will happen is that the people who [trusted] in Christ before they died will live again.
U Bwana yoyo ahaihwiha afume humwanya. Ahaiyeza peka nuhala uzelu ugosi peka ni palapanda ya Ngolobhe, wawafwinye hwitawa lya Yesu wahaizyoha.
17 After that, [God] will powerfully take up into the clouds all of us [believers] who are still living [on this earth]. [He will take us] and those [other believers who have died], in order that [we all] might together meet/welcome the Lord [Jesus] in the sky. As a result of that, we [all] will be with him forever.
Awomi wawasageye wahaisangana humawengo peka wahainyanyela u Bwana humwana tahaiwa nu Bwana isiku zyonti.
18 Because [all this is true], encourage/comfort each other by reminding each other of this teaching.
Myanganaje amazwi ega Mwe, mwe, mwe.
