1 Athesalonike 4
1 Hatimaye, alongo, twabatia mwoyo na kubasihi kwa Yesu Kristo. Kati mwatipokya maelezo boka kwitu namna ipalikwa kuyenda na kumpendeza Nnongo, kwa ndela iyo kae muenende na kupanga zaidi.
Finally then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Yeshua, that as you received from us how you ought to live and to please God, even as you are living, that you excel more and more.
2 Kwa mana mutangite ni maelekezo gani tubapeile pitya Ngwana Yesu.
For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Yeshua.
3 Kwa mana aga nga mapenzi ga Nnongo: utakaso winu-panga muukwepe umalaya,
For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
4 Panga kila yumo winu atangite namna ya kumiliki nyumbo bake mwene katika utakatifu na heshima.
that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
5 Kana ube na nyumbo kwa ajili ya tamaa ya yega(kati mataifa bamtangite kwaa Nnongo).
not in the passion of lust, even as the nations who do not know God;
6 Abile kwaa mundu yeyote ywapala yoka mipaka na kunkosea nongowe kwa ajili ya likowe lee. Kwa mana Ngwana nga mwene lepa kisasi kwa makowe gote aga, kati tubile tangulia kuwaonya na shuhudia.
that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
7 Kwa mana Ngwana atukema kwaa kwa uchafu, ila kwa utakatifu.
For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
8 Kwa eyo ywalikana lee abakanikiya kwaa bandu. ila amkanikiya Nnongo, ywaabapeile Roho mtakatifu wake.
Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given his Rukha d'Qudsha to you.
9 Kuhusu upendo wa alongo, ntopo haja ya mundu yeyote kukuandikia, kwa mana mwatipundishwa na Nnongo pendana mwenga kwa mwenga.
But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
10 Hakika, mupangite aga gote kwa alongo babile Makedonia yote, lakini twabasihi, alongo, mpange hata na zaidi.
for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
11 Twaasihi mutamaniye tama maisha ga utulivu, kujali kazi yinu, na kupanga kazi kwa maboko ginu, kati yatuwaamuru.
and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;
12 Panga aga ili uweze kuyenda vizuri na kwa heshima kwa habo babile panja ya imani, ili upungukiwe na lihitaji lyolyote.
that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
13 Tupla kwaa mwenga mugayowe yaibile kwaaa sahihi, mwenga mwalongo, nnani ya habo bagonjike, ili kana muhuzunike kati benge babile kwaa na uhakika kuhusu wakati waisa.
But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
14 Mana twaaminiya kuwa Yesu awile na kuyoka kae, nyonyonyo Nnongo alowa baleta pamope na Yesu habo bangonjike kiwo katika ywembe.
For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Yeshua.
15 Kwa ajili ya ago twaamakiya mwenga kwa nebo lya Ngwana, panga twenga tubile akoto, twalowa tama muda wa kuisa kwake Ngwana, hakika twayongolya kwa balo bagonjike kiwo.
For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 Kwa mana Ngwana mwene alowa uluka boka kumaunde. Aisa na lilobe likolo, pamope ni lilobe lya malaika nkolo, pamope na parapanda ya Nnongo, na bembe bawile katika Kristo walowa yoka kwanza.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Meshikha will rise first,
17 Boka po twanga twatubile akoto, twatubile, twaloyanganika katika maunde pamope nabo kumlaki Ngwana hewani. Kwa ndela yee tubile na Ngwana masoba gote.
then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Kwa eyo, mufarijiane mwenga kwa mwenga kwa maneno aga.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
