Thessalonicenses I 4
1 De cetero ergo, fratres, rogamus vos et obsecramus in Domino Jesu, ut quemadmodum accepistis a nobis quomodo oporteat vos ambulare, et placere Deo, sic et ambuletis ut abundetis magis.
Pea ʻi he meʻa ʻoku toe, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku mau kole mo enginaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he ʻEiki ko Sisu, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻomou ʻilo ʻiate kimautolu ke fēfē ʻa hoʻomou ʻaʻeva ke fakafiemālie ki he ʻOtua, ke mou tupulekina ai ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
2 Scitis enim quæ præcepta dederim vobis per Dominum Jesum.
He ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fekau naʻa mau tuku kiate kimoutolu mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu.
3 Hæc est enim voluntas Dei, sanctificatio vestra: ut abstineatis vos a fornicatione,
He ko e finangalo eni ʻoe ʻOtua, ke mou māʻoniʻoni, pea ke mou tapu mei he feʻauaki:
4 ut sciat unusquisque vestrum vas suum possidere in sanctificatione, et honore:
Ke mou taki taha ʻilo ke tauhi hono ipu ʻi he anga fakamāʻoniʻoni, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa;
5 non in passione desiderii, sicut et gentes, quæ ignorant Deum:
ʻIkai ʻi he holi fakalielia, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi Senitaile, ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua:
6 et ne quis supergrediatur, neque circumveniat in negotio fratrem suum: quoniam vindex est Dominus de his omnibus, sicut prædiximus vobis, et testificati sumus.
Ke ʻoua naʻa fai hala ʻe ha tokotaha, ʻo kākaaʻi hono tokoua ʻi ha meʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe totongi ʻe he ʻEiki ki he kakai pehē kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa mau tomuʻa fakahā mo fakapapau kiate kimoutolu.
7 Non enim vocavit nos Deus in immunditiam, sed in sanctificationem.
He naʻe ʻikai ui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he fakalielia, ka ki he māʻoniʻoni.
8 Itaque qui hæc spernit, non hominem spernit, sed Deum: qui etiam dedit Spiritum suum Sanctum in nobis.
Ko ia ia ʻoku manuki, ʻoku ʻikai ko e manukiʻi ʻae tangata, ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki kiate kitautolu hono Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni foki.
9 De caritate autem fraternitatis non necesse habemus scribere vobis: ipsi enim vos a Deo didicistis ut diligatis invicem.
Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa fakakāinga, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae tohi ai kiate kimoutolu: he kuo mou akonekina mei he ʻOtua ke feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
10 Etenim illud facitis in omnes fratres in universa Macedonia. Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut abundetis magis,
Pea ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fai ia ki he kāinga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Masitōnia, kotoa pē: ka ʻoku mau kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ke mou tupulekina lahi ʻaupito ai;
11 et opera detis ut quieti sitis, et ut vestrum negotium agatis, et operemini manibus vestris, sicut præcepimus vobis:
Pea tokanga lahi ke mou anga fakalongo pe, pea ke mou fai taki taha hoʻomou ngaue, pea ke ngāueʻaki homou nima, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa mau fekau kiate kimoutolu;
12 et ut honeste ambuletis ad eos qui foris sunt: et nullius aliquid desideretis.
Pea ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻo matamatalelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā, pea ke ʻoua naʻa mou masiva ʻi ha meʻa.
13 Nolumus autem vos ignorare fratres de dormientibus, ut non contristemini sicut et ceteri, qui spem non habent.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou taʻeʻilo, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku mohe, ke ʻoua naʻa mou mamahiʻia, ʻo hangē ko e niʻihi kehe ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau ʻamanaki lelei.
14 Si enim credimus quod Jesus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ita et Deus eos qui dormierunt per Jesum, adducet cum eo.
He kapau ʻoku tau tui naʻe pekia ʻa Sisu pea toetuʻu hake, pea ʻoku pehē, ko kinautolu foki ʻoku mohe ʻia Sisu, ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu fakataha mo ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
15 Hoc enim vobis dicimus in verbo Domini, quia nos, qui vivimus, qui residui sumus in adventum Domini, non præveniemus eos qui dormierunt.
He ʻoku mau tala eni kiate kimoutolu ʻi he folofola ʻae ʻEiki, ko kitautolu ʻoku moʻui pea toe ʻi he hoko mai ʻae ʻEiki, ʻe ʻikai te tau muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku mohe.
16 Quoniam ipse Dominus in jussu, et in voce archangeli, et in tuba Dei descendet de cælo: et mortui, qui in Christo sunt, resurgent primi.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae ʻEiki mei he langi, ʻi he mavava, mo e leʻo ʻoe ʻāngelo lahi, mo e meʻa lea ʻae ʻOtua pea ko e pekia ʻia Kalaisi ʻe tomuʻa tuʻu:
17 Deinde nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur, simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Christo in aëra, et sic semper cum Domino erimus.
Pea ko kitautolu ʻoku moʻui mo toe, ʻe toʻo hake fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao, ke fakafetaulaki ki he ʻEiki ʻi he ʻatā: pea pehē, te tau ʻi he ʻEiki ʻo taʻengata.
18 Itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis.
Ko ia mou fetoutou fefakafiemālieʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea ni.
