1 Ugbu a, ụmụnna, banyere oge na mgbe ihe ndị a ga-emezu. Echeghị m na ọ dị mkpa i degara unu akwụkwọ.
But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
2 Dị ka unu maara nke ọma na ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị ga-abịa dị ka onye ohi si abịa nʼabalị.
For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3 Mgbe ha ga na-asị udo, na nchekwa dị, mgbe ahụ, na mberede, mbibi ga-abịakwasị ha dị ka ihe mgbu sị adakwasị nwanyị ime na-eme, nke ga-eme ka onye ọbụla ghara inwe ike ịgbapụ.
Now when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.
4 Ma unu onwe unu, ụmụnna, anọghị nʼọchịchịrị, nke ụbọchị ahụ ga-abịakwasị unu na mberede dịka onye ohi.
But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5 Unu niile bụ ụmụ nke ìhè na ụmụ nke ehihie, anyị abụkwaghị nke ọchịchịrị maọbụ nke abalị.
You are all sons of light, and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night, nor to darkness,
6 Nʼihi nke a, ka anyị ghara ịdị na-arahụ ụra dị ka ndị ọzọ, kama ka anyị mụrụ anya ka anya dokwaa anyị.
so then let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober.
7 Nʼihi na abalị bụ mgbe ndị na-arahụ ụra ji arahụ ụra. Ọ bụkwa nʼabalị ka ndị mmanya na-egbu na-aṅụbiga mmanya oke.
For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
8 Ma ebe anyị niile bụ ndị nke ihe, ka anyị bụrụ ndị anya doro, ndị yi okwukwe na ịhụnanya dịka ihe ikpuchi obi, yikwasịkwa olileanya nke nzọpụta dị ka okpu igwe.
But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 Nʼihi na Chineke akwadebeghị ikpe ọmụma na egwu nye anyị. Kama ka anyị nweta nzọpụta site nʼokwukwe anyị nwere nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
10 Ọ nwụrụ nʼihi anyị ka ọ bụrụ, ma anyị dị ndụ ma anyị nwụrụ anwụ, anyị ga-esoro ya dịrị ndụ.
who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Ya mere, na-akasịrịtanụ onwe unu obi. Na-emekwanụ ihe ọbụla ga-ewuli ibe unu elu dị ka unu si eme.
Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
12 Anyị na-arịọsị unu ike, ụmụnna, ka unu na-asọpụrụ ndị niile na-adọgbu onwe ha nʼọrụ nʼihi unu, ndị ahụ na-elekọta unu nʼime ọrụ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị ahụ na-adụ unu ọdụ.
But we ask you, brothers, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,
13 Ka unu na-akwanyere ha ugwu site nʼịhụnanya nʼihi ụdị ọrụ ha na-arụ. Ka unu na mmadụ ibe unu birikwa nʼudo.
and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 Ma ugbu a, anyị na-arịọ unu, ụmụnna, na-adụnụ ndị na-anọ nkịtị ọdụ, na-agbanụ ndị dara mba ume, nyerenụ ndị na-adịghị ike aka, nwekwanụ ndidi nʼebe ha niile nọ.
We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
15 Ka onye ọbụla ghara inyeghachi mmadụ ibe ya ihe ọjọọ nʼọnọdụ ihe ọjọọ. Kama gbalịsienụ ike ime ezi ihe nʼebe ibe unu nọ na nʼebe mmadụ niile nọ.
See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always seek what is good both for each other and for all.
16 Na-aṅụrịnụ ọṅụ oge niile.
Rejoice always.
17 Na-ekpenụ ekpere oge niile na-esepụghị aka.
Pray without ceasing.
18 Na-enyenụ ekele mgbe niile banyere ihe niile, nʼihi na nke a bụ ọchịchọ Chineke banyere unu ndị bụ nke Kraịst Jisọs.
In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua toward you.
19 Unu emenyụla ọkụ Mmụọ Nsọ.
Do not quench the Ruach.
20 Ọzọ unu eledala okwu ndị amụma anya.
Do not treat prophecies with contempt,
21 Kama na-anwalenụ ihe niile ma na-ejidesikwanụ ihe niile dị mma aka ike.
but test all things; hold firmly that which is good.
22 Wezuganụ onwe unu nʼihe ọjọọ niile.
Abstain from every form of evil.
23 Ka Chineke ya onwe ya, bụ Chineke nke udo, doo unu nsọ nʼụzọ niile. Ka e debezuo mmụọ unu na mkpụrụobi unu na anụ ahụ unu nsọ, na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla ruo ụbọchị ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
24 Onye ahụ kpọrọ unu ga-emezu ihe ndị a, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
25 Biko ụmụnna, na-ekperenụ anyị ekpere.
Brothers, pray for us also.
26 Werenụ isurita ọnụ dị nsọ na-ekele ụmụnna anyị dum.
Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 Iwu m na-enye unu site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị bụ ka unu gụpụta akwụkwọ a nʼihu ụmụnna niile.
I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
28 Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere unu niile.
The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you.
