1 Athesalonike 4
1 Naguo ũhoro wa kũrigĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩ nĩtwamũrutire ũhoro wa mũtũũrĩre, ũrĩa ũkenagia Ngai, na noguo mũtũũraga mwĩkaga. Rĩu tũkũmũũria na tũkamũringĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa Mwathani Jesũ atĩ mũkĩragĩrĩrie gwĩkaga o ũguo.
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and more.
2 Nĩgũkorwo nĩmũũĩ maũndũ marĩa twamũtaarire namo, tũrĩ na ũhoti wa Mwathani Jesũ.
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 Tondũ rĩĩrĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa Ngai endete nĩ atĩ mũtuĩke andũ aamũre: atĩ mwĩtheemage ũmaraya;
For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from lewdness.
4 na atĩ o ũmwe wanyu amenye gwatha mwĩrĩ wake mwene ũikarage ũrĩ mũtheru na akĩũtĩĩaga,
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor;
5 atarĩ na merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ ta andũ a ndũrĩrĩ arĩa matooĩ Ngai;
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles who know not God:
6 na atĩ ha ũhoro wa maũndũ macio, gũtigakorwo mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩhĩtĩria mũrũ na mwarĩ wa ithe, kana amwĩke ũũru. Mwathani nĩakaherithia andũ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mothe ta macio, o ta ũrĩa tũrĩkĩtie kũmwĩra na tũkamũkaania.
That no [man] go beyond and defraud his brother in [any] matter: because the Lord [is] the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 Tondũ Ngai ndatwĩtĩire maũndũ ma waganu, no aatwĩtire nĩguo tũtũũre mũtũũrĩre wa ũtheru.
For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũregana na ũrutani ũyũ ti mũndũ araregana nake no nĩ Ngai, ũrĩa ũmũheaga inyuĩ Roho wake Mũtheru.
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given to us his holy Spirit.
9 Na rĩu-rĩ, harĩ ũhoro wa kwendana na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, tũtibataire kũmwandĩkĩra nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ ene nĩmũrutĩtwo kwendanaga nĩ Ngai.
But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
10 Na ti-itherũ, nĩmwendete ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe arĩa marĩ Makedonia guothe. No nĩtũkũmũringĩrĩria inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, atĩ mũkĩragĩrĩrie gwĩka ũguo makĩria.
And indeed ye do it towards all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11 Atĩrĩrĩ, mwĩrirĩriei gũtũũra mũtũũrĩre wa ũhooreri, na mũhangʼagĩre o maũndũ marĩa mamũkoniĩ, na mũrutage wĩra na moko manyu, o ta ũrĩa twamwĩrire,
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 nĩgeetha mũtũũrĩre wanyu wa o mũthenya, ũtũme mũheagwo gĩtĩĩo nĩ andũ arĩa matarĩ a thiritũ yanyu, na nĩgeetha mũtigatuĩke mũrigo kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
That ye may walk honestly towards them that are without, and [that] ye may have need of nothing.
13 No rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, tũtikwenda mũikarage mũtooĩ ũhoro wa andũ arĩa makomete, kana mũigue kĩeha ta andũ arĩa angĩ matarĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope.
14 Nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Jesũ nĩakuire na akĩriũka, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ Ngai nĩakarehanĩria Jesũ hamwe na andũ arĩa makomete marĩ thĩinĩ wake.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 Kũringana na kiugo kĩa Mwathani we mwene, tũkũmwĩra atĩ ithuĩ arĩa tũrĩ muoyo, arĩa tũtigĩtwo nginya rĩrĩa agacooka tũtigatongoria arĩa marĩkĩtie gũkoma.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive [and] remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep.
16 Thuutha wa ũguo, ithuĩ arĩa tũgaakorwo tũrĩ muoyo na tũtigaire-rĩ, nĩtũkoyanĩrio hamwe nao tũtwarwo matu-inĩ nĩguo tũgacemanie na Mwathani rĩera-inĩ. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgaatũũrania na Mwathani nginya tene.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we who are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũmanagĩrĩriai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ na ciugo icio.
Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.
