1 KwabaseThesalonika 4
1 Okunye-ke, bazalwane, siyalincenga silikhuthaza eNkosini uJesu, njengalokhu lakwemukela kithi ukuthi kulifanele njani ukuhamba lokumthokozisa uNkulunkulu, ukuze lengezelele kukho kakhulu.
Pakupedzisira, hama, takakurayirai kuti munofanira kurarama sei kuitira kuti mugofadza Mwari, sezvamuri kurarama. Zvino tinokukumbirai uye tinokukurudzirai muna She Jesu kuti murambe muchiita izvi uye muchiwedzera.
2 Ngoba liyazi ukuthi milayo bani esalinika yona ngeNkosi uJesu.
Nokuti munoziva zvatakakurayirai nesimba raIshe Jesu.
3 Ngoba le yintando kaNkulunkulu, ukungcweliswa kwenu, ukuthi lizithinte ekuphingeni;
Kuda kwaMwari kuti muitwe vatsvene:
4 ukuthi ngulowo lalowo wenu kakwazi ukugcina esakhe isitsha ekungcweliseni lekuhlonipheni,
kuti murege upombwe; kuti mumwe nomumwe wenyu adzidze kudzora muviri wake nenzira tsvene uye inokudzwa,
5 kungeyisikho enkanukweni yesifiso, njengabezizwe labo abangamaziyo uNkulunkulu.
asingaiti mukuchiva sezvinoitwa navahedheni, vasingazivi Mwari;
6 Kakungabi khona oweqayo aqile umfowabo endabeni; ngoba iNkosi ingumphindiseli ngazo zonke lezizinto, njengoba lathi salitshela ngaphambili, safakaza.
uye kuti pane izvozvi parege kuva nomunhu anotadzira hama yake kana kumutorera chinhu. Ishe acharanga vanhu nokuda kwezvivi zvakadaro zvose, sezvatakakuudzai kare uye tikakuyambirai.
7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasibizelanga emanyaleni, kodwa ebungcweleni.
Nokuti Mwari haana kutidanira kutsvina, asi kuti tirarame upenyu hutsvene.
8 Ngakho lowo odelelayo, kadeleli muntu, kodwa uNkulunkulu owasinika futhi uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele.
Naizvozvo, uyo anoramba kurayira uku haasi kuramba munhu asi Mwari, iye anokupai Mweya wake Mutsvene.
9 Kodwa mayelana lothando lobuzalwane kalidingi ukuthi ngilibhalele; ngoba lina uqobo lifundisiwe nguNkulunkulu ukuthi lithandane;
Zvino kana rwuri rudo kuhama, hatitsvaki kukunyorerai, nokuti imi pachenyu makadzidziswa naMwari kuti mudanane.
10 ngoba lani lenza lokhu kubo bonke abazalwane abaseMakedoniya yonke; kodwa siyalikhuthaza, bazalwane, ukuthi lengezelele kakhulu,
Uyezve, munoda hama dzose muMasedhonia yose. Asi tinokukurudzirai, hama, kuti muite izvozvo uye muchiwedzera.
11 njalo likhuthalele ukuba lokuthula lokwenza okwenu, lokusebenza ngezenu izandla, njengoba salilaya;
Shingairirai kuti mugare upenyu hworunyararo, muchibata basa renyu namaoko enyu, sezvatakakuudzai,
12 ukuze lihambe ngokuhlonitshwa ngabangaphandle, lingasweli lutho.
kuitira kuti upenyu hwamazuva ose huwane kukudzwa navari kunze uye kuitira kuti murege kusendamira kuno mumwe munhu.
13 Kodwa kangithandi ukuthi lingabi lalwazi, bazalwane, ngalabo abaleleyo, ukuze lingadabuki, njengabanye labo abangelathemba.
Hama, hatidi kuti muve vasingazivi pamusoro paavo vavete, kana kuchema savamwe vavo, vasina tariro.
14 Ngoba uba sikholwa ukuthi uJesu wafa wavuka, ngokunjalo-ke labo abalele kuJesu, uNkulunkulu uzabaletha kanye laye.
Isu tinotenda kuti Jesu akafa uye akamukazve, nokudaro isu tinotenda kuti Mwari achauyisa pamwe chete naJesu avo vakavata maari.
15 Ngoba lokhu sikutsho kini ngelizwi leNkosi, ukuthi thina esiphilayo esitshiywe kuze kube sekufikeni kweNkosi, isibili kasiyikubaqalela labo asebelele;
Samashoko aShe pachake, tinokuudzai kuti isu vachiri vapenyu, vachasara kusvikira pakuuya kwaShe, zvirokwazvo hatizotangiri avo vakavata.
16 ngoba iNkosi uqobo izakwehla ivela ezulwini ngesimemezelo sokulawula, ngelizwi lengilosi eyinduna, langokukhala kophondo lukaNkulunkulu, labafileyo kuKristu bazavuka kuqala;
Nokuti Ishe pachake achaburuka achibva kudenga, nokurayira kukuru, nenzwi romutumwa mukuru uye nokurira kwehwamanda yaMwari, uye vakafa muna Kristu vachatanga kumuka.
17 kulandele thina esiphilayo esitshiyiweyo, sizahluthunelwa kanye labo emayezini siyehlangabeza iNkosi emoyeni; ngokunjalo besesihlala leNkosi njalonjalo.
Shure kwaizvozvo, isu vachiri vapenyu uye vakasara, tichatorwa pamwe chete navo mumakore kuti tisangane naShe mudenga. Nokudaro tichava naShe nokusingaperi.
18 Ngakho duduzanani ngalamazwi.
Naizvozvo kurudziranai namashoko aya.
