1 Bhateshalonike 4
1 Kungai bhakilishitu ajangunji, tunakunshondelesheyanga na kunnjuganga kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, malinga shimwiijigenyenje kopoka kwetu uwe kutama nkwaanonyeya a Nnungu, na malinga shinkutamanganashi, nnapinjikwanga mpundanje kutenda nneyo.
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 Pabha nnikumbushilanga malajilo gutwampelenje gala, kwa mashili ga Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 A Nnungu bhanapinga mmanganya mmanganje bha ukonjelo nnikwiembuyanga na labhalabha.
For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 Kila jwannume amanye kwiigoya nnyene atame kwa ukonjelo na ishima,
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 nngabha kwa ilokoli yangali ya mmbone malinga shibhatendanga bhandunji bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu.
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 Bhai kwa gene malobhe gano, mundu jojowe ananneebhele nnjakwe eu kuntekeya kwa ligongo lya ilokoli yakwe. Twammalanjilenje genego na kunneyanga kuti Bhakulungwa shibhaaukumulanje bhatendanga genego.
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 Pabha a Nnungu bhangatushema nkupinga tutende ya nyata, ikabhe tutame muukonjelo.
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 Bhai, kwa nneyo akana gene majiganyogo, akakunkana mundu, ikabhe anakwaakana a Nnungu bhayene, bhakumpanganga Mbumu jwabho jwa Ukonjelo.
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 Ga pingana, bhakilishitu ajetunji nkwetenje ngulupai, tukannjandishilanga pabha mwaashayene nnjigenywenje na a Nnungu ga pingana.
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 Pabha nnatendanga nneyo kwa bhakilishitu ajetunji bhowe bhalinginji ku Makedonia. Bhai, tunakunnjuganga mpundanje tenda nneyo.
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 Nntamangananje kwa kwitimalika, kila mundu atende indu yakwe nyene na tenda liengo malinga shitwannajilenje.
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 Kwa tenda nneyo shinnumbililwanje na bhandunji bhangabha Bhakilishitu, wala nkalolelanga kujangutilwa indu naka mundu jojowe.
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [that] ye may have lack of nothing.
13 Ikabheje bhakilishitu ajetunji, tukaapinga nnamumanyanje ga bhandu bhawilenje, nkupinga nnainjikanga malinga bhandunji bhana bhangalinginji na ngulupai.
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 Pabha uwe tunakulupalila kuti a Yeshu bhashinkuwa niyuka, nneyo peyo tunakulupalila kuti a Nnungu kupitila a Yeshu, bhowe bhawilenje bhalikwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu, a Nnungu shibhaajianabhonji pamo na a Yeshu.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 Pabha kwa tolelela na majiganyo ga Bhakulungwa ni kuti, tubhabhakoto uwe, shitulepeshe mpaka malanga gushibhaishe Bhakulungwa, kweli tukaalongolelanga bhawilenje bhala.
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 Pabha Bhakulungwa bhayene shibhatulushe kopoka kunnungu na lilobhe lya utiya, na akuno lilobhe lya utiya lika malaika nkulu lilipilikanika, na akuno mbalapala ja a Nnungu jilipilikanika, na bhawilenje bhalikwakulupalilanga a Yeshu bhala, shibhabhanganje bha ntai kuyuywa.
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 Kungai uwe tuli tubhabhakoto shitunyakulwe pamo na bhanganyabho kukwaposhela Bhakulungwa kunani. Kwa nneyo shitutame nabho mobha gowe.
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 Bhai, ntagananje ntima kwa gene malobhega.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
