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.
Wherefore, my brethren, I entreat you, and beseech you by our Lord Jesus, that, as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God, so ye would make progress more and more.
2 Gama kun san umarnan da muka ba ku ta wurin ikon Ubangiji Yesu.
For ye know what command we gave you in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 Nufin Allah ne a tsarkake ku, cewa ku guje wa fasikanci;
For this is the pleasure of God, your sanctification; and that ye be separated from all whoredom;
4 don kowannenku yă koya yadda zai ƙame kansa a hanyar da take mai tsarki, mai mutunci kuma,
and that each one of you might know how to possess his vessel, in sanctity and in honor;
5 ba cikin muguwar sha’awa kamar ta marasa bangaskiya, waɗanda ba su san Allah ba;
and not in the concupiscence of lust, like the rest of the Gentiles who know not 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.
and that ye dare not to transgress and to overreach any one his brother, in this matter; because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as also we have said and testified to you in time past.
7 Gama Allah bai kira mu ga zaman marasa tsarki ba, sai dai ga zaman tsarki.
For God did not call you unto impurity, but to sanctification.
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.
He therefore who spurneth, spurneth not man but God, who hath given his Holy Spirit in you.
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 concerning love to the brethren, ye need not that I should write to you; for ye yourselves are taught of 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.
Ye likewise do so, to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but I entreat you, my brethren, to be exuberant:
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,
and that ye strive to be quiet, and to attend to your own affairs; and that ye labor with your own hands; as we directed you;
12 don rayuwanku ta kullum ta zama da mutunci ga waɗanda suke na waje don kuma kada ku dogara a kan kowa.
and that ye walk becomingly towards those without; and that ye be dependent on no man.
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.
And, I wish you to know, my brethren, that ye should not mourn over them who have fallen asleep, like other people 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.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them who sleep, will God, by Jesus, bring with 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.
And this we say to you, by the word of our Lord, that we who may survive and be alive, at the coming of our Lord, shall not precede them who have slept.
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 our Lord will himself descend from heaven, with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead who are in the Messiah, will first arise;
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.
and then, we who survive and are alive shall be caught up together with them to the clouds, to meet our Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with our Lord.
18 Saboda haka ku ƙarfafa juna da waɗannan kalmomi.
Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.
