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,
Nagra anazama efore'ma hania zamofonkea, e'i knarero, e'ina zupa fore hugahie hu'na nenafugta kreoramigahue.
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].
Na'ankure tamagratmi antahi'naze, Ramo'ma esianknamo'a, kumazafa vahe kenage eankna huno egahie.
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].
Vahe'mo'za hu'za knare huta mani'none nehu'za, tarimpa fru huta maniso'e hune hu'za hanaza knafi ame huno zamazeri haviza hu'zamo'a zamagritera, a'nemo'za mofavre antenaku'ma nehazageno zamata negriankna zamata negrina, zamagra ana knazampintira mani onkanegahaze.
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].
Hianagi tamagra nenafugate, hanimpina omani'nazankino, ana knamo'a kumazafa vahe'mo'za hanimpi azanknara hanigeta antri osugahaze.
Na'ankure tamagra maka'motma tavite vahe mani'netma, masare vahe mani'naze. Tagra kenage vahera omanita, hanimpi vahera omani'none.
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].
E'ina hu'negu atrenketa mago'amo'za nemasazaza huta omaseta, tavumo'a hari nehina, ama' antahintahi e'nerita kva huta manigahune.
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.
Na'ankure zmavuma masaza vahe'mo'za kenegeke nemasageno, aka tima nenaza vahe'mo'za, kenageke aka tina nene'za neginenaze.
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].
Hianagi tagra masare vahe mani'nonanki, atrenketa ama' tagutagesa nentahita, tamentintima huzane, vahe'ma avesinte avu'ava zana tamimizare hanko reheriaza nehuta, Jisasi'ma taguvazino tavresiazanku nentahita amuhama nehunazana, fetori anteaza huta antegahune.
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].
Na'ankure Anumzamo'a rimpahe'zama'a erigahaze huno huorantene. Hianagi Ranti Jisas Kraisimpinti tahokeno taguvazizana erisunegu huhamprirante'ne.
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].
Jisasi'a tagriku huno fri'neankita, fri'nazo tasimu erita mani'nono, tagra Agrane magopi manisunku huno fri'ne.
11 Because [you know that this is true], continue to encourage/comfort each other, as indeed you now are doing.
E'ina hu'negu mago magomotma, ozeri hanaveti azeri hanaveti nehutma, menima nehazaza hutma mago magomofona zamazeri hanavetita maniho.
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]).
Hianagi nenfugata, tusi maraguzatiza Ramofonte manisaza'zamofo nanekema rempima hunerami'za mono kva vahetamimofona, antahizamita zamagesga huzmanteho huta neramasamune.
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.
Hagi eri'zama e'neriza zanku zamesizmanteta, zamagrira zamagi erisaga nehuta, magoke magokemotma tamarimpa frune maniho.
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.
Hagi nerafugate, tagra tamazeri otike hanunketma eri'zama e'ori zmesrama nehaza vahera zamazeri fatgo nehutma, koroma nehaza vahera zamazeri hankavenetitma, hanavema oti'nesaza vahera zamazeri hanavetiho. Ana nehutma maka vahe enena fru hutma maniho.
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.
Mago'mo'e huno havizama huntesimofona, nona'a havizana huonteno. Hianagi maka kna knare avu'avaza ohunte ahunte nehutma, maka vahetera anahukna tamavutmava huzmanteho.
16 Be joyful (at all times/always),
Makazupa muse hiho.
17 pray continually,
Hagi nunamuna otretma makakna huvava hiho.
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).
Hakare'zampina Anumzamofona susu hunteho, na'ankure Jisasi Krasimpima e'inahu tamavutamavama huzankura Anumzamofona avenesie.
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]!
Tamagra Ruotge Avamumofo teve ahesu hu avu'ava zana osiho.
20 [Specifically], do not despise messages that the Holy Spirit reveals to someone, [and reject them automatically].
Kasnampa kemofona antahi amnezanknara osiho.
21 On the contrary, evaluate all [such messages]. Accept the [messages that are truly from God, and obey them].
Hianagi rezaganetma makazana ke so'e nehutma, knarema hunesiazana azeri akona hiho.
22 Do not obey any kind of evil [message].
Ana nehutma, maka havi avu'ava zampintira maniganeta maniho.
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].
Hagi rimpa fru Anumzamo'a, Agra maka sese huramanteno tamazeri ruotage nehuno, avamutamine, tamagu tamene, tamavufanena kegava huramantena, Ranti Jisas Kraisi'ma esianknarera kema hurantezana omanetfa hugahie.
24 [Because God] has invited you [to be his people, you can] certainly trust him to keep on helping you to do that.
Anumzamo'ma tamagima hunemo'a, fatgo huno ke'are amage antegahiankino, Agra anahukna huno eriknare huramantegahie.
25 My fellow believers, pray for me and for Silas and for Timothy.
Nenafugate tagrikura nunamuna huranteho.
26 [When you gather together as believers], greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
Maka tafu'hemotma mono tamavutamava hutma tamafukre tamafakre hiho.
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].
Nagra hanave ke tamasamuanki, ama avona hamprinke'za, maka tafuhe'za antahiho.
28 [I pray that] our Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to act] kindly toward you all.
Hagi Rantimofo Jisas Kraisi asunku'zamo'a tamagrane mesie.
