1 Matesolonika 4
1 Chamamani mani, mizwale, tumisusuweza ni kumilumerisa mwa Simwine Jesu. Sina hamuva amuheri intayero kuzwa kwetu kamumu swanerera kuyendera ni kutavisa Ireza, iri kuli mupange vulyo nanga ahulu.
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, [ so] ye would abound more and more.
2 Sina hamwizi mirao nzi zituvamihi cha Simwine Jesu.
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 Kakuti iyi nji tanto ya Ireza: kucheniswa kwenu chenu- kuti musiye vushahi,
For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 iri kuti zumwi ni zumwi e zive muku vira ni mwihyabwe mu kuchena ni kute.
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Kanji muvi ni mwihyenwanu che takazo vulyo (sina va Machava vasezi Ireza).
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 Kanji kuvi ni zumwi yo fosa ni kuvengisa muzwale wa kwe mwenzi zintu. Kakuli Simwine nji muvozekezi mwezi zintu zonse, vovuti mutu vamikalimeri ni kupaka.
That no [man] go beyond and defraud his brother in [any] matter: because that the Lord [is] the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 Kakuti Ireza kena ava tusumpiri kukusa jololola, kono kuku chena.
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 Jikuti, iye yo kana inzi u kakani vantu, kono Ireza, yo ha Luhuho lu Jolola kwenu.
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 Kuamana ni rato lye chizwale, ka kwina ituso yo zumwi kumi ñolera, kakuti inwe muvene murutitwe ji Ireza kusaka zumwi ni zumwi.
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 Chovuniti, mupanga inzi kumi zwale vonse vena mwa Mesondonia yonse. Kono tumi susuweza, mizwale, kupanga inzi ahulu.
And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11 Tusimi susuweza kuzwira havusu ni kuhala che nkozo, mutoko mere zenu zintu, mi museveze ni manza enu, sina mutu vami layeri.
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 Mupange inzi iri kuti muyende hande mwi kute kwavo vena hanze ye tumero, ni kuti kanji musaki chimwi.
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [that] ye may have lack of nothing.
13 Katu saki kuti inwe musiye kutu zuwisisa, mizwale, Kuamana navo valilalize, iri kuti kanji mulichisi muluhuho sina vonse vasena muhupulo kuzo kuvunsu.
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 Kakuti haiva tuzumina kuti Jesu ava fwi ni kuvuka hape, vovulyo Ireza kalete ni Jesu avo vava fwiri mwali.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 Chezi tuwamba kwenu chelinzwi lya Simwine, kuti iswe tuhala, vashere haku keza kwa Simwine, kanji ni tuhitiri avo vava lilalizi.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 Kakuti Simwine kachiviri ka suke mwi wulu. Kakeze cho muhuwo, ni mulumo we niroyi lye kondo, ni ke mpeta ye Ireza, mi vafu mwa Keresite kava tange kuvuka che tenzi.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Cwale inswe va hala, vashere, hamwina katu kungane navo muma kope ni Simwine muluhuho. mweyi nzira katuve inko yonse ni Simwine.
Then we which 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 Jokuti, mususuweze zumwi ni zumwi chaya manzwi.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
