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.
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 Sina hamwizi mirao nzi zituvamihi cha Simwine Jesu.
For ye know what command we gave you in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 Kakuti iyi nji tanto ya Ireza: kucheniswa kwenu chenu- kuti musiye vushahi,
For this is the pleasure of God, your sanctification; and that ye be separated from all whoredom;
4 iri kuti zumwi ni zumwi e zive muku vira ni mwihyabwe mu kuchena ni kute.
and that each one of you might know how to possess his vessel, in sanctity and in honor;
5 Kanji muvi ni mwihyenwanu che takazo vulyo (sina va Machava vasezi Ireza).
and not in the concupiscence of lust, like the rest of the Gentiles who 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.
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 Kakuti Ireza kena ava tusumpiri kukusa jololola, kono kuku chena.
For God did not call you unto impurity, but to sanctification.
8 Jikuti, iye yo kana inzi u kakani vantu, kono Ireza, yo ha Luhuho lu Jolola kwenu.
He therefore who spurneth, spurneth not man but God, who hath given his Holy Spirit in you.
9 Kuamana ni rato lye chizwale, ka kwina ituso yo zumwi kumi ñolera, kakuti inwe muvene murutitwe ji Ireza kusaka zumwi ni zumwi.
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 Chovuniti, mupanga inzi kumi zwale vonse vena mwa Mesondonia yonse. Kono tumi susuweza, mizwale, kupanga inzi ahulu.
Ye likewise do so, to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but I entreat you, my brethren, to be exuberant:
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 strive to be quiet, and to attend to your own affairs; and that ye labor with your own hands; as we directed you;
12 Mupange inzi iri kuti muyende hande mwi kute kwavo vena hanze ye tumero, ni kuti kanji musaki chimwi.
and that ye walk becomingly towards those without; and that ye be dependent on no man.
13 Katu saki kuti inwe musiye kutu zuwisisa, mizwale, Kuamana navo valilalize, iri kuti kanji mulichisi muluhuho sina vonse vasena muhupulo kuzo kuvunsu.
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 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 who sleep, will God, by Jesus, bring with him.
15 Chezi tuwamba kwenu chelinzwi lya Simwine, kuti iswe tuhala, vashere haku keza kwa Simwine, kanji ni tuhitiri avo vava lilalizi.
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 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.
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 Cwale inswe va hala, vashere, hamwina katu kungane navo muma kope ni Simwine muluhuho. mweyi nzira katuve inko yonse ni Simwine.
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 Jokuti, mususuweze zumwi ni zumwi chaya manzwi.
Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.
