1 Watesaloniki 4
1 Vinu, waumini wayetu, mulifundi kulawa kwa twenga ntambu yamfiruwa kulikala su mmufiriziyi Mlungu, nakaka muwera mwankulikala ntambu ayi, vinu twankuwagambira kupitira mulitawu lya Mtuwa Yesu mwendereyi kutenda hangu nentu na nentu.
As to what remains, then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us, how you ought to walk, and please God, you would more abound in it.
2 Mwenga mugamana malagaliru gatuwapananiti mwenga kwa uwezu wa Mtuwa Yesu.
For you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus;
3 Mlungu kafira mwenga muweri wananagala na mulituli gweka na makaliru ga uhumba.
for this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from whoredom--
4 Kila mpalu katosheki na mdala gwakuwi kwa unanagala na ligoya,
that every one of you should know how to possess his own body in sanctification and honor--
5 na namulikala kwa matamata gadoda gambira wantu yawammana ndiri Mlungu.
not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God.
6 Su muntu yoseri nakamtendera vidoda ama kumpunja myaguwi mushitwatira ashi, ntambu yatuwagambiriti na kuwaberiziya, Mtuwa hakawazibu woseri yawatenda vitwatira avi.
That no man should go beyond bounds, or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all such;
7 Mlungu katushema ndiri tulikali makaliru ga uhumba, kumbiti tulikali muunanagala.
for God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
8 Su muntu yoseri yakagalema mafundu aga kamlema ndiri muntu kumbiti kamlema Mlungu yakawapanana Rohu gwakuwi Mnanagala.
Therefore, indeed, he who despises not man, but God, who certainly has given to us his Holy Spirit.
9 Vinu kwa visoweru vya kuwafira waumini wayenu, twenga tufira ndiri kuwalembera mwenga, maweni mwenga mfunditwi na Mlungu ntambu yamfiruwa kulifira.
But, concerning brotherly love, you have no need that I write to you, for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 Nakaka mwenga muweriti mwankuwatendera hangu waumini wayenu kila pahala Mumakedoniya. Tuwaluwani waumini wayetu su mtendi nentu na nentu.
And, indeed, you do it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we exhort you, brethren, still to abound,
11 Muweri na nfiru ya kulikala makaliru gakutenda ndiri umatu, kila yumu katendi shitwatira shakuwi mweni na katendi lihengu kwa mawoku gakuwi mweni ntambu yawatuwalagaliriti pamberi.
and earnestly study to be quiet; and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you:
12 Kwa ntambu ayi, hamliyupi zyumi iyerepa kulawa kwa walii yawawera ndiri Wakristu, hamuweri ndiri na toziya kuwatumbira wamonga kwa mafiliru genu.
that you may walk decently toward them who are without, and may have need of nothing.
13 Walongu wayetu, twenga tufira muvimani unakaka kuusu walii yawahowiti, su namuhinginika mumoyu gambira wantu yawahera litumbiru.
Now, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them who sleep; that you may not be grieved, even as the others, who have no hope.
14 Twenga tujimira kuwera Yesu kahowiti na kazyukiti, su tujimira kuwera Mlungu hakawawuziyi pamuhera na Yesu, woseri walii yawahowiti pawamjimira yomberi.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again; so, also, them who sleep, will God, through Jesus, bring with him.
15 Shilii shatuwafundani ndo lifundu lya Mtuwa kuwera twenga yatulikala, patusigala mpaka kwiza kayi kwa Mtuwa, nakaka hapeni tuwalongoleri walii yawahowiti.
Besides, this we affirm to you, by the word of the Lord, that we, the living, who remain at the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate them who are asleep:
16 Toziya Mtuwa mweni hakizi kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu pamuhera na amuli na liziwu lya ntumintumi gwa kumpindi mkulu gwa Mlungu na mliwu gwa mbalapi lya Mlungu. Su walii yawahowiti pawamwamini Kristu hawazyukisiwi huti.
for the Lord himself will descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the Arch Angel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first;
17 Shakapanu twenga yatulikala, mushipindi ashi hatujojinirwi pamuhera na womberi mumawundi kuliwona na Mtuwa kulyera, su hatuweri mashaka goseri pamuhera na Mtuwa.
afterward we, the living, who remain, shall, at the same time with them, be instantly taken up in clouds, to join the Lord in the air; and so we shall be for ever with the Lord.
18 Su mulitangi kuwera na moyu maweni mwenga kupitira visoweru avi.
Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.
