1 Thessalonians 4
1 As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the 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 ye have known what commands 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 ye abstain from the whoredom,
Kwa mana aga nga mapenzi ga Nnongo: utakaso winu-panga muukwepe umalaya,
4 that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour,
Panga kila yumo winu atangite namna ya kumiliki nyumbo bake mwene katika utakatifu na heshima.
5 not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
Kana ube na nyumbo kwa ajili ya tamaa ya yega(kati mataifa bamtangite kwaa Nnongo).
6 that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger [is] the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to 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 did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification;
Kwa mana Ngwana atukema kwaa kwa uchafu, ila kwa utakatifu.
8 he, therefore, who is despising — doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.
Kwa eyo ywalikana lee abakanikiya kwaa bandu. ila amkanikiya Nnongo, ywaabapeile Roho mtakatifu wake.
9 And concerning the brotherly love, ye have no need of [my] writing to you, for ye yourselves are God-taught 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 ye do it also to all the brethren who [are] in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,
Hakika, mupangite aga gote kwa alongo babile Makedonia yote, lakini twabasihi, alongo, mpange hata na zaidi.
11 and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we did command you,
Twaasihi mutamaniye tama maisha ga utulivu, kujali kazi yinu, na kupanga kazi kwa maboko ginu, kati yatuwaamuru.
12 that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.
Panga aga ili uweze kuyenda vizuri na kwa heshima kwa habo babile panja ya imani, ili upungukiwe na lihitaji lyolyote.
13 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not 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, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,
Mana twaaminiya kuwa Yesu awile na kuyoka kae, nyonyonyo Nnongo alowa baleta pamope na Yesu habo bangonjike kiwo katika ywembe.
15 for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living — who do remain over to the presence of the Lord — may not precede those 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 because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall 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 living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be;
Boka po twanga twatubile akoto, twatubile, twaloyanganika katika maunde pamope nabo kumlaki Ngwana hewani. Kwa ndela yee tubile na Ngwana masoba gote.
18 so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.
Kwa eyo, mufarijiane mwenga kwa mwenga kwa maneno aga.
