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.

FURTHERMORE then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

2 Ecen badaquiçue cer manamenduac eman drauzquiçuegun Iesus Iaunaren partez.

For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

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

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

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

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

5 Ez guthiciataco affectionerequin, Gentil Iaincoa eçagutzen eztutenen ançora.

Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not 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 man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

7 Ecen ezgaitu deithu vkan Iaincoac cithalqueriatara, baina sanctificationetara.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

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

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

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

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

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

And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

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

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

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

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

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

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

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

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

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

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

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

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

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

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Bada, consola eçaçue elkar hitz hauçaz.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
