1 Thessalonians 5
1 My fellow believers, [I want to tell you more] about the time or period [when the Lord Jesus will come back. Really], you do not need me to you about that,
Ti eshuwotso! keewan b́ wotit́ dúronat b́ gizewosh eegoru itsh guut'o geyiratse.
2 because you yourselves know accurately [what will happen! You know] that the Lord [Jesus will return] [MTY] [unexpectedly] (OR, [when some people are unprepared]). [People will not expect him, just like no one knows when] a thief [comes unexpectedly] at night [SIM].
Doonzo b́ weet aawo úmp'etso t'úwon b́ wafok'o b́ wottsotse it it tookon sheengshde'k'at danfte.
3 [At a future time] many people will say, “[All is] peaceful and [we are] safe!” Then suddenly the Lord Jesus will come to punish people severely! Just like a pregnant woman who [experiences] birth pains [cannot stop those pains], those people will definitely not [have any way to] escape [their punishment].
Ashuwots «Keew jamó jeenonat s'k erkee» bo etor na'a maac'ts máátsuwats na'a shuwi shambo bin b́detsfok'o t'afo danerawo boats b́ weeti, eegi weeronoru bítse keshosh falatsne.
4 [Just like people] in the dark [are unaware of what is happening around them, most people will not be aware of what is about to happen to them] [MET, PRS]. Just like a thief [comes unexpectedly for people who are unaware, that time of punishment will come when people are not expecting it] [SIM]. But you, my fellow believers, are people who are very much aware [LIT] of what is going to happen. As a result, you will be expecting [LIT] those things [MTY] to happen [PRS]. All of us [believers] are people [IDM] [who do what is right, as people usually do in] the daytime [MET] [when their actions can be seen]. We are not [people who do evil things, as some people do when it is] dark [MET].
Ti eshuwotso itmó, t'aluwots itnaliye, mansh aaw man ump'etsok'o itats waratse.
It it únets shááni ashuwots, aawi ashuwots itne, nooye wee t'úwi wee t'alwi ashuwots noonaliye.
6 So we believers must be aware of what is happening. We must be watching carefully, [as people who are awake watch for a thief] [MET]. We must be self-controlled, as people who are (sober/not drunk) are able to control what they do [MET]. People who sleep [MET] [are unaware of what is happening, and unbelievers are like that].
Mansh eshe no tooko kewde beewone bako k'oshwotskok'o tokrk'ayone.
7 It is at night when people become drunk [and they do very wrong actions/things, and are unaware of what is happening because they] are asleep.
Tokriru ashuwots t'úwone botokriri, mashiruwotswere t'úwone bomashiri.
8 But we believers are people who [should do what is right] [MET], so we must be self-controlled, [as people] in the daytime [are usually not drunk and are able to control what they do] [MET]. [As Roman soldiers protect themselves by] putting on breastplates and helmets [MET], we [believers] must [protect ourselves by continuing to] trust and love [the Lord Jesus] and by continuing to confidently expect that he will save [us from God’s punishing us at the time when he will punish other people].
Noomó aawi ashuwotsi nowottsotse notooko keewon no angok'on beewone, imnetiyonat shunon t'ururiyok'o nogerats tahde'oone, kashosh jangetso kes'tswots boatse baziyosh bogúúfef k'obiyok'o tookats guufde'one,
9 When God chose us, he did not plan for us to [be people whom he will severely] punish [MTY]. On the contrary, [he decided] that he would save us because of [our trusting in what] our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
Ik'o noon b́ s'eeg fayosh b́woterawon nodoonz Iyesus Krstos weeron no kashishee.
10 Jesus died [to atone/pay] for our [sins] in order that we might be able to live together with him, whether we are alive [MET] or whether we are dead [EUP] [when he returns to earth].
Krstos no jangosh b́k'ir kashon nobeyal wee nok'iriyal bínton nobeyishe.
11 Because [you know that this is true], continue to encourage/comfort each other, as indeed you now are doing.
Mansh and it k'alirwok'on iko iko kup'shon t'engde'e.
12 My fellow believers, we [three] ask that you recognize/honor [as leaders] those people who work hard for you. [Specifically], respect those who lead you as fellow believers who (have a close relationship with/are united to) the Lord [Jesus]. They warn you [to stop doing what is wrong] (OR, they teach you [to do what is right]).
Eshuwotso! ititse finon shaatsirwotsi, doonzon it naashwotsnat iti iziruwotsi it mangiyituwok'o itn k'oniruwoone,
13 That is, we [ask that you] consider those leaders to be very important and that you love them, because they work [hard to help you]. We also urge you to live peacefully with each other.
Bo finatse tuutson boosh eents manogonat shunon it detsetwok'owa, itwere it atsatsewo jeenon beewere.
14 My fellow believers, we urge that you warn [believers] who will not work [in order to] ([obtain/earn the money to buy]) [things that they need to live. Tell them that they are behaving wrongly]. We urge you that you encourage [believers] who are fearful (OR, discouraged), and that you help all people who are weak [in any way]. We also urge you to be patient with everyone.
Eshuwotso! «Wihuwotsi fayore, aaw shuuk' deshawwotsi kúp'shwere, maawtswotsi te'uere, ash jamosh k'amoore» etaat gawiruwone.
15 Make sure that none [of you] does evil things to anyone [who has done] evil to you. On the contrary, you must always try to do good [things] for each other (OR, to fellow believers) and to everyone else.
Asho konworu gondi shegrosh gndon bí anirawok'o it atso korde'er, dab jam aawo it it took tookosh wotowa mank'o k'osh ashuwotssh k'osh ash jamwotssh sheeng finosh kup'ore.
16 Be joyful (at all times/always),
Jam aawo gene'owere,
17 pray continually,
it eed'irawo Ik'o k'onwere,
18 and thank [God] (in all [circumstances/] [of what happens]). God wants you [to behave] like that [because of what] Christ Jesus [has done for you] (OR, because you have a close relationship with Christ Jesus).
jam keewon Ik'o udoore, Krstos Iyesusn it detsts beyon Ik'o itatse b́ geyirwo maniye.
19 Do not [refuse the urging from God’s] Spirit [when he is working] [MTY] [among you. That would be like] throwing water on [a fire] [MET]!
S'ayin shayiri fino úp'k'ayere,
20 [Specifically], do not despise messages that the Holy Spirit reveals to someone, [and reject them automatically].
bek'o gac'k'ayere.
21 On the contrary, evaluate all [such messages]. Accept the [messages that are truly from God, and obey them].
Jam keewo faduwere, sheeng wottso deshde'ere.
22 Do not obey any kind of evil [message].
Gond fin jamatse wokoore.
23 [We pray to] God that he will change you to become more and more like his people should be. He is the one who causes [his people] to have [inner] peace. [That is, we pray] that he will help you so that in all that you think, in all that you desire, and in all that you do, you will be without fault. We ask him that he will keep doing that [until] our Lord Jesus Christ comes back [to earth].
B́ tookon jeeni Ik'o Izar Izewer jam keewon iti S'ayintsuwe, it Shayiro, it kasho, it ats jamo no doonz Iyesus Krstos b́ weet aawosh ik jagalo koteyar beewe.
24 [Because God] has invited you [to be his people, you can] certainly trust him to keep on helping you to do that.
Iti s'egtsmań amanek b́ wottsosh han k'alituwe.
25 My fellow believers, pray for me and for Silas and for Timothy.
Ti eshuwotso! nooshowere Ik'o k'onwere.
26 [When you gather together as believers], greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
Eshúw jamwotsi S'ayints jobon jamo aatewere.
27 Make certain that you read this letter to all the believers who may be absent when you read it at first, [knowing that] the Lord [Jesus wants you to do it].
Woshan amants jamwotssh b́ nababetwok'o doonzo shútson oona itsh etetuwe.
28 [I pray that] our Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to act] kindly toward you all.
No doonz Iyesus Krstos s'aato itnton wotowe.
