1 Thessalonians 5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write to you.
Nísinsin yìí, ará, a kò nílò láti kọ ìwé sí i yín mọ́ nípa àkókò àti ìgbà,
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
nítorí ẹ̀yin pàápàá mọ̀ wí pé ọjọ́ Olúwa yóò wá bí olè lóru.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Ní àkókò gan an tí àwọn ènìyàn yóò máa wí pé, “Àlàáfíà àti ààbò,” nígbà náà ni ìparun òjijì yóò dé sórí wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìrọbí obìnrin tí ó lóyún, wọn kò sí ni rí ibi ààbò láti sá sí.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ará, kò sí nínú òkùnkùn nípa nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ọjọ́ Olúwa yóò fi dé bá yín bí olè.
5 Ye are all children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Nítorí gbogbo yín ni ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti ọmọ ọ̀sán gangan. Ẹ kì í ṣe tí òru tàbí tí òkùnkùn mọ́.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober minded.
Nítorí náà, ẹ kíyèsára yín kí ẹ má ṣe sùn bí àwọn ẹlòmíràn. Ẹ máa ṣọ́nà kí ẹ sì máa pa ara yín mọ́.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that get drunk are drunk in the night.
Nítorí àwọn tí wọ́n ń sùn, a máa sùn ní òru, àwọn ẹni tí ń mu àmupara, a máa mú un ní òru.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa jẹ́ ti ìmọ́lẹ̀, ẹ jẹ́ kí a pa ara wa mọ́, ní gbígbé ìgbàgbọ́ wọ̀ àti ìfẹ́ bí ìgbàyà ni òru àti ìrètí ìgbàlà bí àṣíborí.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Nítorí pé, Ọlọ́run kò yàn wa láti da ìbínú rẹ̀ gbígbóná sí orí wa, ṣùgbọ́n ó yàn láti gbà wá là nípasẹ̀ Olúwa wa, Jesu Kristi.
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
Jesu kú fún wa kí a lè ba à gbé títí láéláé. Èyí yóò rí bẹ́ẹ̀ yálà a sùn tàbí a wà láààyè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
11 Therefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Nítorí náà, ẹ máa gba ara yín níyànjú, kí ẹ sì máa gbé ara yín ró, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ ti ń ṣe.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
Ẹ̀yin ará, ẹ fi ọlá fún àwọn olórí tí ń ṣe iṣẹ́ àṣekára láàrín yín tí wọn ń kìlọ̀ fún yín nínú Olúwa.
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
Ẹ bu ọlá fún wọn gidigidi nínú ìfẹ́, nítorí iṣẹ́ wọn. Ẹ sì máa wà ní àlàáfíà láàrín ara yín.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
Ẹ̀yin ará mi, ẹ kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ọ̀lẹ ti ó wà láàrín yín, ẹ gba àwọn tí ẹ̀rù ń bà ní ìyànjú, ẹ tọ́jú àwọn aláìlera pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́, kí ẹ sì ní sùúrù pẹ̀lú gbogbo ènìyàn.
15 See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Ẹ rí i pé kò sí ẹni tí ó fi búburú san búburú, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ máa lépa èyí tí í ṣe rere láàrín ara yín àti sí ènìyàn gbogbo.
16 Rejoice evermore.
Ẹ máa yọ̀ nígbà gbogbo.
17 Pray without ceasing.
Ẹ máa gbàdúrà nígbà gbogbo.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Ẹ máa dúpẹ́ nígbà gbogbo nínú ipòkípò tí o wù kí ẹ wà; nítorí pé, èyí ni ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run fún yin nínú Kristi Jesu nítòótọ́.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
Ẹ má ṣe pa iná Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
Ẹ má ṣe kẹ́gàn àwọn ti ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀.
21 Examine all things; hold fast that which is good.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ dán gbogbo nǹkan wò. Ẹ di èyí tí ṣe òtítọ́ mú.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Ẹ yẹra fún ohunkóhun tí í ṣe ibi.
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kí Ọlọ́run fúnra rẹ̀, Ọlọ́run àlàáfíà, sọ yín di mímọ́ pátápátá. Kí Ọlọ́run pa ẹ̀mí àti ọkàn pẹ̀lú ara yín mọ́ pátápátá ní àìlábùkù, títí di ìgbà wíwá Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
Olóòtítọ́ ni ẹni tí ó pè yín, yóò sì ṣe.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
Ẹ̀yin ará, ẹ gbàdúrà fún wa.
26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
Ẹ fi ìfẹ́nukonu mímọ́ ki ara yin.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
Mo pàṣẹ fún yín níwájú Olúwa pé, kí ẹ ka lẹ́tà yìí fún gbogbo àwọn ará.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. The first epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.
Ki oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, wà pẹ̀lú yín.
