1 Tasaloniiqee 4

1 Kana malees yaa obboloota, Waaqa gammachiisuuf akkamitti akka jiraachuu qabdan nu isin barsiifneerra; isinis akkuma sanatti jiraachaa jirtu. Ammas akka ittuma caalchiftanii waan kana gootan Gooftaa Yesuusiin isin kadhanna; isin gorsinas.

Finally therefore, brethren, we pray you and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how it behooves you to walk about and to please God, as you do indeed walk about, in order that you may abound more and more.

2 Nu taayitaa Gooftaa Yesuusiin ajaja maalii akka isinii kennine beektuutii.

For you know what promises we gave unto you through our Lord Jesus.

3 Fedhiin Waaqaa akka isin qulqullooftanii dha; kunis akka isin halalummaa irraa fagaattaniif;

For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from fornication;

4 tokkoon tokkoon keessan akkamitti akka karaa qulqulluu fi ulfina qabeessa taʼeen dhagna keessan eeggattan beekuu qabdu;

that each one of you know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor,

5 kunis akka ormoota Waaqa hin beekneetti hawwii fooniitiin hin taʼin;

not in the passion of lust, as indeed the Gentiles who do not know God;

6 waan kanaanis namni tokko iyyuu obboleessa isaa hin miidhin yookaan hin gowwoomsin. Akkuma nu kanaan dura isinitti himnee isin akeekkachiifne sana, Gooftaan warra cubbuu akkasii hojjetan hunda haaloo baʼa.

that one should overreach and defraud his brother in a business transaction: because the Lord is the avenger concerning these things, as we indeed before told you and witnessed to you.

7 Waaqni akka nu jireenya qulqulluu jiraannuuf malee akka xuroofnuuf nu hin waamneetii.

For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

8 Kanaafuu namni gorsa kana tuffatu Waaqa Hafuura isaa Qulqulluu isinii kennu sana tuffata malee nama hin tuffatu.

Therefore the one rejecting (sanctification), does not reject man, but God, who indeed gives to you his Holy Spirit.

9 Egaa waan Waaqni akka isin wal jaallattan isin barsiiseef waaʼee jaalala obbolummaa isinii barreessuu nu hin barbaachisu.

But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I write to you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another with divine love;

10 Dhugumaan isin obboloota guutummaa Maqedooniyaa keessa jiran hunda ni jaallattu. Yaa obboloota, nu garuu akka kana caalaa isaan jaallattan isin gorsina;

for you indeed are doing the same thing unto all the brethren in all Macedonia. And we exhort you, brethren, that you abound more and more;

11 akkuma nu kanaan dura isin ajajnetti tasgabbiin jiraachuuf tattaaffadhaa; harkuma keessaniin hojii keessan hojjetadhaa;

and that you aspire to be quiet, and to prosecute your own employments, and work with your hands, as we proclaimed unto you;

12 kunis akka isin warra alaa biratti ulfina argattanii fi akka harka nama tokko illee hin eegganneef.

in order that you may walk about circumspectly toward the aliens, and you may have need of nothing.

13 Yaa obboloota, nu akka isin waaʼee warra rafan sanaa wallaaltan yookaan akka namoota abdii hin qabne kaaniitti gadditan hin barbaannu.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep; in order that you may not sorrow, even as those having no hope.

14 Nu erga akka Yesuus duʼee duʼaa kaʼe amannee akkasuma immoo Waaqni warra Yesuusitti amananii rafan sana akka isuma wajjin kaasu ni amanna.

For if we believe that Jesus died and is risen, so also will God bring with him those who sleep in Jesus.

15 Wanni nu akka dubbii Gooftaatti isinitti himnu kana; nu warri lubbuun jirru kanneen hamma dhufaatii Gooftaatti jiraannu gonkumaa warra rafan sana hin dursinu.

For we speak this to you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left unto the coming of the Lord, can not anticipate those who are asleep,

16 Gooftaan mataan isaa ajajaan, sagalee ergamaa hangafaatii fi sagalee malakata Waaqaatiin samii irraa ni buʼa; warri Kiristoositti amananii duʼanis jalqabatti ni kaʼu.

because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

17 Ergasii immoo nu warri hafnee lubbuun jirru qilleensa irratti Gooftaa simachuuf isaan wajjin duumessaan ol fudhatamna. Akkasumas bara baraan Gooftaa wajjin ni jiraanna.

then we who are alive, who are left, will at the same time along with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be always with the Lord.

18 Kanaafuu dubbii kanaan wal jajjabeessaa.

So comfort one another with these words.
