1 Tessalonikawa 4

1 A ƙarshe,’yan’uwa, mun umarce ku yadda za ku yi rayuwa domin ku gamshi Allah, kamar yadda kuke yi. Yanzu muna roƙonku muna kuma gargaɗe ku a cikin Ubangiji Yesu ku yi haka sau da sau.

Finally then, brothers, we urge and exhort you in the Lord Jesus: as you received from us how you ought to behave and please God, do so even more

2 Gama kun san umarnan da muka ba ku ta wurin ikon Ubangiji Yesu.

—you know what instructions we gave you through Sovereign Jesus.

3 Nufin Allah ne a tsarkake ku, cewa ku guje wa fasikanci;

Now this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you stay away from fornication;

4 don kowannenku yă koya yadda zai ƙame kansa a hanyar da take mai tsarki, mai mutunci kuma,

that each of you know how to gain possession of his own ‘vessel’ in sanctification and honor,

5 ba cikin muguwar sha’awa kamar ta marasa bangaskiya, waɗanda ba su san Allah ba;

not in lustful passion (like the heathen who do not know God);

6 cikin wannan al’amari kuwa kada wani yă yi wa ɗan’uwansa laifi ko yă cuce shi. Ubangiji zai hukunta mutane saboda dukan irin waɗannan zunubai, kamar yadda muka riga muka gaya muku, muka kuma yi muku gargaɗi.

that no one trespass and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such behavior, as, indeed, we have already told you and warned you.

7 Gama Allah bai kira mu ga zaman marasa tsarki ba, sai dai ga zaman tsarki.

Because God did not call us for uncleanness, but by holiness.

8 Saboda haka, duk wanda ya ƙi wannan umarni ba mutum ne ya ƙi ba sai ko Allah, wanda ya ba ku Ruhunsa Mai Tsarki.

So then, the rejecter is not rejecting man, but God, the very One who gave you His Holy Spirit.

9 Yanzu kuwa game da ƙaunar’yan’uwa, ba ma bukata mu rubuta muku, gama ku kanku Allah ya riga ya koya muku ku ƙaunaci juna.

Now about brotherly love you do not need to be written to, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

10 Gaskiyar kuwa ita ce, kuna ƙaunar dukan’yan’uwa ko’ina a Makidoniya. Duk da haka muna ƙara gargaɗe ku,’yan’uwa, ku yi haka sau da sau.

because in fact you are doing so toward all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Still, we exhort you to do even more, brothers,

11 Ku mai da wannan burinku na yi natsattsiyar rayuwa, kuna mai da hankali ga sha’anin da yake gabanku, kuna kuma yin aiki da hannuwanku, kamar dai yadda muka gaya muku,

to make it a point to be peaceable and to mind your own business, to work with your hands (as we instructed you),

12 don rayuwanku ta kullum ta zama da mutunci ga waɗanda suke na waje don kuma kada ku dogara a kan kowa.

so that outsiders may be well impressed by your life style, and that you may have no lack.

13 ’Yan’uwa, ba ma so ku kasance cikin jahilci game da waɗanda suka yi barci, ko kuwa ku yi baƙin ciki kamar sauran mutanen da ba su da bege.

Now then, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who have ‘fallen asleep’, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

14 Mun gaskata cewa Yesu ya mutu ya tashi kuma daga matattu, ta haka muka gaskata cewa Allah zai kawo waɗanda suka yi barci a cikinsa tare da Yesu.

Because since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, just so will God bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

15 Bisa ga maganar Ubangiji kansa, muna gaya muku cewa mu da muke raye har yanzu, waɗanda aka bari har dawowar Ubangiji, tabbatacce ba za mu riga waɗanda suka yi barci tashi ba.

For this we say to you by a word of the Lord, that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will absolutely not precede those who have fallen asleep;

16 Gama Ubangiji kansa zai sauko daga sama, da umarni mai ƙarfi, da muryar babban mala’ika da kuma busar ƙahon Allah, waɗanda suka mutu kuwa cikin Kiristi za su tashi da farko.

because the Lord Himself—with a commanding shout, with the archangel's voice and with God's trumpet—will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first;

17 Bayan haka, mu da muke da rai da aka bari, za a ɗauke mu tare da su a cikin gizagizai don mu sadu da Ubangiji a sararin sama. Ta haka za mu kasance tare da Ubangiji har abada.

then we who are still alive, who are left, will be snatched up together with them in clouds to meet the Lord in the air. In precisely this way we will always be with the Lord.

18 Saboda haka ku ƙarfafa juna da waɗannan kalmomi.

So then, comfort one another with these words.
