1 VaTesaronika 4
1 Pakupedzisira, hama, takakurayirai kuti munofanira kurarama sei kuitira kuti mugofadza Mwari, sezvamuri kurarama. Zvino tinokukumbirai uye tinokukurudzirai muna She Jesu kuti murambe muchiita izvi uye muchiwedzera.
As to the rest, then, brothers, we request, and call on you in the Lord Jesus, as you received from us how it is necessary for you to walk and to please God, that you may abound the more,
2 Nokuti munoziva zvatakakurayirai nesimba raIshe Jesu.
for you have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus;
3 Kuda kwaMwari kuti muitwe vatsvene:
for this is the will of God—your sanctification: that you abstain from the whoredom,
4 kuti murege upombwe; kuti mumwe nomumwe wenyu adzidze kudzora muviri wake nenzira tsvene uye inokudzwa,
that each of you know to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
5 asingaiti mukuchiva sezvinoitwa navahedheni, vasingazivi Mwari;
not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
6 uye kuti pane izvozvi parege kuva nomunhu anotadzira hama yake kana kumutorera chinhu. Ishe acharanga vanhu nokuda kwezvivi zvakadaro zvose, sezvatakakuudzai kare uye tikakuyambirai.
that no one goes beyond and defrauds his brother in the matter, because the LORD [is] an avenger of all these, as we also spoke to you before and testified,
7 Nokuti Mwari haana kutidanira kutsvina, asi kuti tirarame upenyu hutsvene.
for God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.
8 Naizvozvo, uyo anoramba kurayira uku haasi kuramba munhu asi Mwari, iye anokupai Mweya wake Mutsvene.
He, therefore, who is despising, does not despise man, but God, who also gave His Holy Spirit to us.
9 Zvino kana rwuri rudo kuhama, hatitsvaki kukunyorerai, nokuti imi pachenyu makadzidziswa naMwari kuti mudanane.
And concerning the brotherly love, you have no need of [my] writing to you, for you yourselves are God-taught to love one another,
10 Uyezve, munoda hama dzose muMasedhonia yose. Asi tinokukurudzirai, hama, kuti muite izvozvo uye muchiwedzera.
for you do it also to all the brothers who [are] in all Macedonia; and we call on you, brothers, to abound still more,
11 Shingairirai kuti mugare upenyu hworunyararo, muchibata basa renyu namaoko enyu, sezvatakakuudzai,
and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,
12 kuitira kuti upenyu hwamazuva ose huwane kukudzwa navari kunze uye kuitira kuti murege kusendamira kuno mumwe munhu.
that you may walk properly to those outside, and may have lack of nothing.
13 Hama, hatidi kuti muve vasingazivi pamusoro paavo vavete, kana kuchema savamwe vavo, vasina tariro.
And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that you may not sorrow, as also the rest who have no hope,
14 Isu tinotenda kuti Jesu akafa uye akamukazve, nokudaro isu tinotenda kuti Mwari achauyisa pamwe chete naJesu avo vakavata maari.
for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God will bring with Him those asleep through Jesus,
15 Samashoko aShe pachake, tinokuudzai kuti isu vachiri vapenyu, vachasara kusvikira pakuuya kwaShe, zvirokwazvo hatizotangiri avo vakavata.
for we say this to you in the word of the LORD, that we who are living—who remain over to the coming of the LORD—may not precede those asleep,
16 Nokuti Ishe pachake achaburuka achibva kudenga, nokurayira kukuru, nenzwi romutumwa mukuru uye nokurira kwehwamanda yaMwari, uye vakafa muna Kristu vachatanga kumuka.
because the LORD Himself, with a shout, with the voice of a chief-messenger, and with the trumpet of God, will come down from Heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first;
17 Shure kwaizvozvo, isu vachiri vapenyu uye vakasara, tichatorwa pamwe chete navo mumakore kuti tisangane naShe mudenga. Nokudaro tichava naShe nokusingaperi.
then we who are living, who are remaining over, will be snatched up together with them in [the] clouds to meet the LORD in [the] air, and so we will always be with the LORD;
18 Naizvozvo kurudziranai namashoko aya.
so, then, comfort one another with these words.
