1 Tesalonika 5
1 Naa, toronoo nggare! Soa sa hai suraꞌ mifadꞌe, Lamatuaꞌ neneman nandaa no liiꞌ hira do fai hiraꞌ.
Now concerning the times and seasons, brothers, you have no need for anything to be written to you.
2 Huu basa hei bubꞌuluꞌ mae, Eni neneman aiboiꞌ, onaꞌ naꞌo nema tetembaꞌ.
For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3 De atahori naeꞌ nggua-nggua subꞌa-subꞌa, nda hambu udꞌa-anin sa, onaꞌ o hambu calaka. Neneman o onaꞌ a ina mairuꞌ, aiboiꞌ te namedꞌa nae bꞌonggi. Mete ma dalaꞌ naa nema ena, hita nda bisa tola sa ena! Lamatuaꞌ neneman o onaꞌ naa boe.
When people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will certainly not escape.
4 Toronoo nggare! Afiꞌ losa Lamatuaꞌ neneman, sae nala nggi onaꞌ naꞌo nema tetembaꞌ, nandaa no hei masambetaꞌ. Ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Hita nda tasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ sa ena, onaꞌ atahori feaꞌ mana sungguꞌ masambetaꞌ ra. Hita mana tamahere neu Yesus, tasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a, tahehere simbo E, ma tanea ao tara malolole. Hei bubꞌuluꞌ basa dalaꞌ ia ra ena.
But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should catch you like a thief.
You are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of the darkness.
So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us be watchful and sober.
7 Te atahori mana sungguꞌ ra, ara sungguꞌ tetembaꞌ. Ma atahori manamafuꞌ ra, ara mafu tetembaꞌ.
For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8 Te ama afiꞌ taꞌo naa, huu hita ia ra tasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ ena. Ama musi minea ao mara. Mete ma mimihere mikindoo neu Lamatuaꞌ ma sue-lai esa no esa, naa onaꞌ soldꞌadꞌu mana pake pepele tendaꞌ. De mete ma mimihena mikindoo neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus mana mboꞌi hei mia Lamatualain nasan, naa onaꞌ soldꞌadꞌu mana nasolo solo besiꞌ.
But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9 Lamatualain nda pili nala nggita fo hambu Eni huku-dokin sa. Te Ana pili nala nggita fo hambu masodꞌaꞌ, huu tamahere Yesus Kristus, hita malanggan.
For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Huu Ana mate nggati hita ena. De mete ma Ana heoꞌ baliꞌ, hita tasodꞌa takandoo to E, mae hita mate ena, do feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.
who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with him.
11 Huu naa, pake oꞌola ngga ia, fo tao namahoꞌo ma tao manggatetee esa no esa ralan, onaꞌ hei tao eniꞌ a maꞌahulun.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, even as you are doing.
12 Basa toronoo nggare! Misinedꞌa fo fee hadꞌat neu ina-ama malangga nggareiꞌ ra. Te ara, ue-tao naeꞌ seli fee nggi, no fee nesenedꞌaꞌ neu nggi, fo ama afiꞌ tudꞌa.
Now we ask you, brothers, to recognize those who labor among you, who lead you in the Lord and admonish you,
13 Fee hadꞌa-hormat ma sue-lai se, huu ara ue-tao no manggateeꞌ fee nggi. Misodꞌa mole-dame esa no esa.
and to regard them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace with one another.
14 Toronoo nggare! Hai mae fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ hira taꞌo ia: mifadꞌe mana mbera-mbikeꞌ ra fo ara ue-tao no matetuꞌ. Tao manggatee rala mana banggi-bꞌanggiꞌ ra. Misilaꞌe atahori manatudꞌa-loloeꞌ ra. Ma miꞌitataaꞌ mo basa atahori ra.
And we urge you, brothers, to admonish those who are idle, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, and be patient toward all.
15 Misinedꞌa fo afiꞌ bala-bꞌae deꞌulakaꞌ no deꞌulakaꞌ. Te taoꞌ a maloleꞌ mo basa atahori. Afiꞌ tao maloleꞌ neu akaꞌ a hita atahori nara, te atahori deaꞌ ra boe.
Make sure no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always strive to do good to each other and to everyone else.
16 Mimihoꞌo mikindooꞌ a.
Rejoice always,
17 Hule-oꞌe hatuꞌ-rerelon.
pray without ceasing,
18 Mae susa do mimihoꞌo o, moꞌe makasi neu Lamatualain. Huu Lamatualain hii-nau basa atahori mana tungga Yesus Kristus ra tao taꞌo naa.
and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Afiꞌ ai-bꞌaa Dula-daleꞌ ue-tataon.
Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Mete ma hambu toronooꞌ esa nae eni simbo haraꞌ mia Lamatualain, na, afiꞌ miloe-midꞌae oꞌolan!
Do not despise prophecies,
21 Hei musi paresaꞌ milolole dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ naa, tebꞌe huun mia Lamatualain do hokoꞌ. Mete ma tebꞌe, na, tungga.
but test everything; hold fast to what is good.
22 Te miꞌidꞌodꞌooꞌ ao mara mia basa deꞌulakaꞌ ra.
Avoid every form of evil.
23 Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain tao nameu rala mara no masodꞌa mara. Ana mana tao nggita tasodꞌa mole-dꞌame esa no esa. No taꞌo naa, leleꞌ hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus baliꞌ nema, na, hei mimbiriiꞌ sia matan, mo ao mara, rala mara, boe ma samana mara nda hambu salaꞌ saa sa boe. Tebꞌe! Lamatuaꞌ Yesus mana noꞌe nggi dadꞌi atahorin, ralan ndoos. Saa fo Ana olaꞌ, naa ana tao tungga. Dadꞌi dei fo Ana nendi hei no meumareꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatualain matan.
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
25 Toronooꞌ re! Afiꞌ liliiꞌ hule-oꞌe fee hai sia ia.
Brothers, pray for us.
26 Au oꞌe fo ama haitua sodꞌa-moleꞌ fee neu basa Lamatualain atahori sarani nara sia naa, o!
Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 Au oꞌe no Lamatuaꞌ Yesus nara na, hei baca susura ngga ia fee neu basa atahori saraniꞌ ra.
I charge you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the holy brothers.
28 Au oꞌe hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus natudꞌu rala malolen neu basa nggi. Baꞌu a naa Sodꞌa-moleꞌ Paulus
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
