1 Thessalonians 4
1 Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.
Hatimaye, alongo, twabatia mwoyo na kubasihi kwa Yesu Kristo. Kati mwatipokya maelezo boka kwitu namna ipalikwa kuyenda na kumpendeza Nnongo, kwa ndela iyo kae muenende na kupanga zaidi.
2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
Kwa mana mutangite ni maelekezo gani tubapeile pitya Ngwana Yesu.
3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
Kwa mana aga nga mapenzi ga Nnongo: utakaso winu-panga muukwepe umalaya,
4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,
Panga kila yumo winu atangite namna ya kumiliki nyumbo bake mwene katika utakatifu na heshima.
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,
Kana ube na nyumbo kwa ajili ya tamaa ya yega(kati mataifa bamtangite kwaa Nnongo).
6 that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
Abile kwaa mundu yeyote ywapala yoka mipaka na kunkosea nongowe kwa ajili ya likowe lee. Kwa mana Ngwana nga mwene lepa kisasi kwa makowe gote aga, kati tubile tangulia kuwaonya na shuhudia.
7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
Kwa mana Ngwana atukema kwaa kwa uchafu, ila kwa utakatifu.
8 Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
Kwa eyo ywalikana lee abakanikiya kwaa bandu. ila amkanikiya Nnongo, ywaabapeile Roho mtakatifu wake.
9 But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
Kuhusu upendo wa alongo, ntopo haja ya mundu yeyote kukuandikia, kwa mana mwatipundishwa na Nnongo pendana mwenga kwa mwenga.
10 for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
Hakika, mupangite aga gote kwa alongo babile Makedonia yote, lakini twabasihi, alongo, mpange hata na zaidi.
11 and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you,
Twaasihi mutamaniye tama maisha ga utulivu, kujali kazi yinu, na kupanga kazi kwa maboko ginu, kati yatuwaamuru.
12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
Panga aga ili uweze kuyenda vizuri na kwa heshima kwa habo babile panja ya imani, ili upungukiwe na lihitaji lyolyote.
13 But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
Tupla kwaa mwenga mugayowe yaibile kwaaa sahihi, mwenga mwalongo, nnani ya habo bagonjike, ili kana muhuzunike kati benge babile kwaa na uhakika kuhusu wakati waisa.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
Mana twaaminiya kuwa Yesu awile na kuyoka kae, nyonyonyo Nnongo alowa baleta pamope na Yesu habo bangonjike kiwo katika ywembe.
15 For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
Kwa ajili ya ago twaamakiya mwenga kwa nebo lya Ngwana, panga twenga tubile akoto, twalowa tama muda wa kuisa kwake Ngwana, hakika twayongolya kwa balo bagonjike kiwo.
16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
Kwa mana Ngwana mwene alowa uluka boka kumaunde. Aisa na lilobe likolo, pamope ni lilobe lya malaika nkolo, pamope na parapanda ya Nnongo, na bembe bawile katika Kristo walowa yoka kwanza.
17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
Boka po twanga twatubile akoto, twatubile, twaloyanganika katika maunde pamope nabo kumlaki Ngwana hewani. Kwa ndela yee tubile na Ngwana masoba gote.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Kwa eyo, mufarijiane mwenga kwa mwenga kwa maneno aga.
