1 Tesalonikarrei 4

1 Gaineracoaz bada anayeác, othoizten çaituztegu, eta requeritzen Iesus Iaunaz, gureganic recebitu vkan duçuen beçala, nola ebili behar çareten eta Iaincoaren gogaraco içan, guerotic guerora auançago çaitezten.

Finally then, brothers, we urge and exhort you in the Lord Jesus: as you received from us how you ought to behave and please God, do so even more

2 Ecen badaquiçue cer manamenduac eman drauzquiçuegun Iesus Iaunaren partez.

—you know what instructions we gave you through Sovereign Jesus.

3 Ecen haur da Iaincoaren vorondatea, çuen sanctificationea, paillardiçataric beguira çaitezten:

Now this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you stay away from fornication;

4 Eta iaquin deçan çuetaric batbederac bere vnciaren posseditzen sanctificationerequin eta ohorerequin:

that each of you know how to gain possession of his own ‘vessel’ in sanctification and honor,

5 Ez guthiciataco affectionerequin, Gentil Iaincoa eçagutzen eztutenen ançora.

not in lustful passion (like the heathen who do not know God);

6 Nehorc ezteçala aurizqui edo engana bere anayea eceinere eguitecotan: ecen Iauna gauça hauen gucién mendecaçale da, nola lehen-ere erran eta testificatu baitrauçuegu.

that no one trespass and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such behavior, as, indeed, we have already told you and warned you.

7 Ecen ezgaitu deithu vkan Iaincoac cithalqueriatara, baina sanctificationetara.

Because God did not call us for uncleanness, but by holiness.

8 Bada gauça hauc arbuyatzen dituenac, eztu guiçon-bat arbuyatzen, baina Iaincoa, ceinec bere Spiritu saindua gutan eçarri-ere vkan baitu.

So then, the rejecter is not rejecting man, but God, the very One who gave you His Holy Spirit.

9 Anayetassunezco charitateaz den becembatean, eztuçue mengoaric scriba dieçaçuedan ecen ceuroc Iaincoaz iracatsiac çarete, elkar onhets deçaçuen.

Now about brotherly love you do not need to be written to, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

10 Ecen eguiten-ere baduçue haur Maeedonia gucian diraden anaye orotará: baina othoizten çaituztegu, anayeác, guerotic guerora auançago çaitezten,

because in fact you are doing so toward all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Still, we exhort you to do even more, brothers,

11 Eta pena eçar deçaçuen baquez içatera, eta çuen eguiteco proprién eguitera, eta çuen escu propriéz languitera, manatu çaituztegun beçala:

to make it a point to be peaceable and to mind your own business, to work with your hands (as we instructed you),

12 Campotic diradenetara honestqui perporta çaiteztençát, eta deusen beharric eztuçuençát.

so that outsiders may be well impressed by your life style, and that you may have no lack.

13 Eta eztut nahi çuec ignorant çareten, anayeác, lo daunçanéz den becembatean, contrista etzaiteztençát, berce goitico sperançaric eztutenac-ere beçala.

Now then, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who have ‘fallen asleep’, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

14 Ecen baldin sinhesten badugu Iesus hil eta resuscitatu dela, halaber Iesus Iaunean lo daunçanac-ere Iaincoac erekarriren ditu harequin.

Because since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, just so will God bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

15 Ecen haur erraiten drauçuegu Iaunaren hitzez ecen gu viciric goitico garatenoc Iaunaren aduenimenduan ezgaitzaiztela aitzinduren lo daunçateney.

For this we say to you by a word of the Lord, that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will absolutely not precede those who have fallen asleep;

16 Ecen Iauna bera exhortationezco oihurequin, eta Archangelu vozequin, eta Iaincoaren trompettarequin iautsiren da cerutic: eta Christean hilac resuscitaturen dirade lehenic:

because the Lord Himself—with a commanding shout, with the archangel's voice and with God's trumpet—will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first;

17 Guero gu viciric goitico garatenoc, harrapaturen garate hequin batean hodeyetan Iaunaren aitzinera airetan: eta halaz bethi Iaunarequin içanen gara.

then we who are still alive, who are left, will be snatched up together with them in clouds to meet the Lord in the air. In precisely this way we will always be with the Lord.

18 Bada, consola eçaçue elkar hitz hauçaz.

So then, comfort one another with these words.
