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,
Dadꞌi taꞌo ia, toronoo nggare! Hai kokoe nggi, fo misodꞌa tao mimihoꞌo Lamatualain ralan, onaꞌ hai minori nggiꞌ a. Memaꞌ misodꞌa tungga basa naa ra ena, te huu hita ia ra dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ Yesus bobꞌonggin ena, de hai moꞌe fo ama bꞌau ue-tao maꞌadereꞌ seluꞌ fai.
2 for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus,
Basa hei bubꞌuluꞌ ena saa fo hai minori neu hei naa, mendiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Yesus koasan.
3 for this is the will of God — your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,
Lamatualain hihiin taꞌo ia: Misodꞌa meumareꞌ! Afiꞌ misodꞌa manggenggeoꞌ. Naeni, afiꞌ hohongge mo atahori sao nara, sao tou, do, sao inaꞌ.
4 that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour,
Hei musi tao mataꞌ neu ao mara, fo misodꞌa meumareꞌ, sambe atahori fee hadꞌat neu nggi.
5 not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
Afiꞌ misodꞌa tungga hihii ao-sisi mara, onaꞌ atahori nda mana rahine Lamatualain sa.
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,
Afiꞌ sangga hahambuꞌ, ma hohongge mo atahori nemehereꞌ sa neu Lamatuaꞌ. Te Lamatuaꞌ naa, Malangga mana bala-bꞌae basa deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ naa ra. Hai mifadꞌe nesefafali basa ia ra neu nggi ena, ma fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ eniꞌ a dalahulun ena.
7 for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification;
Lamatualain noꞌe nala hita fo dadꞌi atahorin ena. Eni hihiin, hita musi tasodꞌa meumareꞌ, nda tasodꞌa manggenggeoꞌ onaꞌ mana hohonggeꞌ ra sa. Nda taꞌo naa sa.
8 he, therefore, who is despising — doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.
Huu naa, atahori nda mana tungga nenoriꞌ ia sa, ana nda tola akaꞌ a hai sa, te ana o tola Lamatualain, mana fee Dula-dale Meumaren neu nggiꞌ a.
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,
Au nda parlu suraꞌ seluꞌ fee hei dala susueꞌ sa, huu Lamatualain nanori ena oi, hei esa musi sue esa.
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,
Hai o rena hei sue basa toronooꞌ mana sia profinsi Makedonia ra. Te toronooꞌ, re! Ia naa hai moꞌe fo ama sue milenaꞌ se fai.
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,
Malolole fo ama misodꞌa no mole-dame, afiꞌ tungga atahori feaꞌ ra dalan, te esa-esaꞌ tao mataꞌ neu dalan. Ama musi tao ues fo sangga nanaa-nininuꞌ ao mara, afiꞌ mimihena atahori feaꞌ ra. Hai fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ ia neu nggi eniꞌ a dalahulun.
12 that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.
Mete ma misodꞌa taꞌo naa, na nda tao mimibera atahori laen sa. Dei fo atahori nda mana ramahere neu Kristus sa mete rita masodꞌa mara taꞌo naa, na ara rae, “We! Memaꞌ atahori mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus naa, manggate seli, o!”
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,
Naa! Ia na, basa toronooꞌ re, au ae ufadꞌe dalaꞌ esa, fo mihine tebꞌe-tebꞌe soꞌal atahori mates ra. Hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, atahori mates ra dei fo rasodꞌa baliꞌ. Dadꞌi mete ma hambu Lamatuaꞌ atahorin ruma mate, na, afiꞌ miꞌisususaꞌ ao mara, onaꞌ atahori feaꞌ nda mana rahine dalaꞌ naa sa.
14 for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,
Te hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, Yesus mate basa ma Lamatualain o tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ E. Naa! No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain o tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ basa atahori mates mana ramahereꞌ ra, ma naꞌabꞌue nala basa se ro Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
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,
Te mete ma Lamatuaꞌ Yesus heoꞌ baliꞌ, Ana onda mia sorga nisiꞌ raefafoꞌ, dei fo hambu hara parenda mahereꞌ. Ma ana dedenuꞌ sia sorga ra malanggan fee parendaꞌ fuu maꞌoa. Ma Lamatuaꞌ atahori mana mate nara rasodꞌa baliꞌ. Dei fo sira ro hita feꞌe masodꞌa ia ra, nenesoꞌuꞌ leleeꞌ ata teu fo soru Lamatuaꞌ Yesus neneman. Basa naa, basa hita tasodꞌa takandoo to E. Hei rena malolole, te saa fo hai mifadꞌeꞌ ia, Lamatuaꞌ mana nafadꞌe aon.
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,
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;
18 so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.
De ama musi pake nenoriꞌ ia, fo tao manggatee esa no esa rala nara.
