1 Abhathesalonike 4
1 Waholo tihuwapela umoyo tihuwalawa hwa Yesu uKilisti. Shila shatiyenje mposheye afume hulite shihwanziwa ajende, husaye Ungolobhe, idala elioliamuwalaje hani.
Further, friends, we beg and urge you in the name of our Lord Jesus to carry out more fully than ever – as indeed you are already doing – all that you have heard from us as to what your daily life must be, if it is to please God.
2 Mumenye ziatiwawozezie ashilile hwa Yesu aje zyenu.
For you have not forgotten the directions that we gave you on the authority of our Lord Jesus.
3 Ego miza hwa Ngolobhe: Huyozye ahane izinaa,
For this is God’s purpose – that you should be pure; abstaining from all immorality;
4 Wekaweka amenye akhale nushi wakwe mwene huumoyo uzelu ni shishi.
each of you learning to gain control over your own body, in a way that is holy and honourable,
5 Usahawe nushii wanyonywe nubele (nazi awatu wamusi wasaga wamwenye Ungolobhe).
and not for the mere gratification of your passions, like the Gentiles who know nothing of God;
6 Asahawe umuntu wowonti yanzafyemele impaho ziahukosele uholo wakwe, nunongwa ene. U Bwana yuyo asomba isiasa shonti na huwawozye.
none of you overreaching or taking advantage of their fellow follower of the Lord in such matters. The Lord takes vengeance on all who do such things, as we have already warned you and solemnly declared.
7 Ungolobhe sagaahatukwizizie aje tiwe ni ntavu. Ahatikwizizye tiwe numoyo uzelu.
For God does not call us to an impure life, but demands holiness.
8 Eshi yakhanasangakhana watu ahukhana yu Ngolobhe, yahupela Umpepo Ufinjile wakwe.
Therefore the person who disregards this warning disregards, not people, but God who gives you his Holy Spirit.
9 Hunongwa zya ulugomo waholo waho sagaihusimbila awaamanyizizye Ungolobhe agan'ane tete kwa tete.
As to love for each other there is no need to write to you; for you have yourselves been taught by God to love one another;
10 Imenye mwahawombile egagonti hwawaholo wawaleho hu Makedonia wonti, Eshi tihuwalawa muwaholo muombe shinza hani.
and indeed you do act in this spirit towards all his people throughout Macedonia. Yet, friends, we beg you to do even more.
11 Tihuwalawa mnyonywaje akhale musi nupumu humbombozyenyu, na wombeji imbombo hunyowe zyenyu, nazishatiwalajizizye.
Make it your ambition to live quietly, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we directed you;
12 Wombaga ega nkujendaje sheinza ni shishi hwawantu wawalihonze wi lweteho, usahagaye liolionti lila.
so that your conduct may win respect from those outside the church, and that you may not want for anything.
13 Sagatihuanza amwe aje msahamanye muwaholo aje ewowagonilegona msahazugumile lihwenza.
We don’t want you to be ignorant, friends, about those who have passed to their rest. We don’t want you to grieve like other people who have no hope.
14 Nkatihweteha aje u Yesu ahafyiye nantele ahazyoshele, Ungolobhe aiwatwala peka nu Yesu wawagonile hwitawa liakwe.
For, as we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe that God will bring, with Jesus, those who through him have passed to their rest.
15 Tihuwawozya amwe hwizwi ilya Bwana aje tiwatutiliwomi lwahaiyenza u Bwana sagatahaiwatangalila wala wagonile ufwe. U Bwana yoyo ahaihwiha afume humwanya. Ahaiyeza peka ni palapanda ya Ngolobhe, wawafwinye hwitawa lya Yesu wahaizyoha.
This we tell you on the authority of the Lord – that those of us who are still living at the coming of the Lord will not anticipate those who have passed to their rest.
16 U Bwana yoyo ahaihwiha afume humwanya. Ahaiyeza peka nuhala uzelu ugosi peka ni palapanda ya Ngolobhe, wawafwinye hwitawa lya Yesu wahaizyoha.
For, with a loud summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the trumpet-call of God, the Lord himself will come down from heaven.
17 Awomi wawasageye wahaisangana humawengo peka wahainyanyela u Bwana humwana tahaiwa nu Bwana isiku zyonti.
Then those who died in union with Christ will rise first; and afterwards we who are still living will be caught up in the clouds, with them, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be for ever with the Lord.
18 Myanganaje amazwi ega Mwe, mwe, mwe.
Therefore, comfort one another with what I have told you.
