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,
Anuanom, asɛm a ɛtwa toɔ ne sɛ, mosuaa kwan pa a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so tena ase a ɛbɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani. Na saa pɛpɛɛpɛ na morebɔ mo bra. Enti, yɛde yɛn Awurade Yesu din srɛ, hyɛ mo sɛ, monyɛ mma ɛmmoro deɛ moreyɛ seesei no so.
2 for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus,
Monim nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛnam Awurade Yesu tumi enti, yɛtumi kyerɛkyerɛɛ mo.
3 for this is the will of God — your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,
Yei yɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ a ɔwɔ ma mo. Ɔpɛ sɛ moyɛ kronkron na motwe mo ho firi adwamammɔ ho.
4 that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour,
Ɛsɛ sɛ mosua sɛdeɛ mohyɛ mo ho so na obiara atumi ne ne yere atena kronnyɛ ne animuonyam so.
5 not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
Monntena ase akɔnnɔ anibereɛ so te sɛ wɔn a wɔnnim Onyankopɔn.
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,
Onyankopɔn akyiwadeɛ no bi nso ne sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mu biara sisi ne yɔnko na ɔgye ne yere, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ obi yɛ saa a, Onyankopɔn bɛtwe nʼaso dendeenden sɛdeɛ yɛadi ɛkan abɔ mo kɔkɔ no.
7 for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification;
Onyankopɔn amfrɛ yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛbɔ adwaman, na mmom, ɔfrɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛntena ase ahoteɛ mu.
8 he, therefore, who is despising — doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.
Ɛno enti, obiara a ɔbɛpo nkyerɛkyerɛ no ntia onipa, na mmom, ɔtia Onyankopɔn a ɔma mo Honhom Kronkron no.
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,
Ɛho nhia sɛ mɛtwerɛ mo afa ɔdɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ modɔ mo nuanom asuafoɔ no ho. Onyankopɔn akyerɛ mo ankasa ɛkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so dodɔ mo ho mo ho.
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,
Na moada saa ɔdɔ no adi pɛpɛɛpɛ akyerɛ anuanom a wɔwɔ Makedonia no nyinaa. Nanso, anuanom, yɛsrɛ mo sɛ monkɔ so nnodɔ mo ho mo ho mma ɛmmoro saa.
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,
Momma ɛnyɛ mo botaeɛ sɛ mobɛtena ase dinn na moahwɛ so adi mo dwuma de abɔ mo ho akɔnhoma sɛdeɛ yɛaka akyerɛ mo dada no.
12 that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.
Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛma wɔn a wɔnyɛ asuafoɔ no afɛre mo na moremmisa deɛ ɛhia mo nso mfiri obiara nkyɛn.
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,
Anuanom, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛka nokorɛ a ɛfa wɔn a wɔawuwu no ho kyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, morenni ho awerɛhoɔ te sɛ wɔn a wɔnni anidasoɔ no.
14 for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,
Yɛgye di sɛ Yesu wuiɛ, na ɔsɔree bio. Enti sɛ Onyankopɔn de Yesu ba bio a, ɔde wɔn a wɔnyaa ne mu gyidie ansa na wɔrewuo no bɛka ne ho aba.
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,
Awurade nkyerɛkyerɛ a yɛreka akyerɛ mo no ne sɛ, ɛda a Awurade bɛba no, yɛn a yɛte ase yi renni awufoɔ no anim ɛkan.
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,
Awurade no ankasa de ɔhyɛ a ano yɛ den, ɔbɔfoɔ panin nteamu ne Onyankopɔn totorobɛnto nnyegyeeɛ firi ɔsoro bɛba fam. Wɔn a wɔawuwu wɔ Kristo mu no bɛsɔre kane,
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;
na wɔaboaboa yɛn a yɛte ase ɛberɛ no ne wɔn a wɔasɔre no ano wɔ omununkum mu ahyia Awurade wɔ ewiem. Na saa na yɛne Awurade bɛtena daa.
18 so, then, comfort ye one another in these words.
Enti, momfa saa asɛm yi nkyekyere obiara werɛ.
