1 Thessalonians 4

1 Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

Mɔla wani, n ninjabi, ti paandi ti pala ki gɔ cegi ti diedo jesu tuonli po, i gɔ gbadi ti laabaalo yaal n tieni kuli, yin ba cuoni maama ki fidi ki ya ŋani u tienu nungan, maaṁɔma, i gɔ li cuoni yeni, yin ŋmigdi ke gɔ sɔni ŋanma ke pugini.

2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

I nan tiani tin den naani maama ki baa suani ti diedo jesu sɔnu ni.

3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

U tienu n bua yaali tie ke yua kuli n kubi o yuli ti ŋandin ni ke gɔ cuo oba yeni mi conconma.

4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

Ke yua kuli n fidi ki cuo oba yeni mi conconma ke bia maadi i mɔni.

5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,

Oba kuli n da ŋaa ti nianbiidi n kuni o yuli, nani yaaba n ke bani u tienu n suani maama yeni.

6 that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

Oba kuli n da di o lielo jodi bii ke jaanbi o lielo i tuona nni, kelima ti diedo ba bu ke ŋmali yua biidi tubli nani tin den waani maama yeni.

7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

Kelima u tienu ke yi'ti ke tin ya suani jɔgindi tuonli ka, ama tin ya ye ti ŋandin.

8 Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

Lani cedi yua yie ke kan cɔnlin tin yedi ya maama ne, naa yie yinbi ka, o yie u tienu yua n ten'ti o foŋanmo i.

9 But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

Yaali n tie i liebi buama, la ke tie ke ban diani tili ke waani ka, kelima u tienu mɔno bo tuodi ke waani yin ba bua i liebi maama.

10 for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

Maamɔnmi, i gɔ li suani yen Maseduani dogni kuli i siigani, ama yin ŋanbi ke pugini.

11 and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you,

N gɔa cegli ke yin ya tie suoo ke suani i tuoli nani tin den waani maama yeni.

12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

Yin ya kubi yeni, i mɔni nni lan ya pia li cɔnlin yeni yaabi ki bani u tienu ke liba n gɔ da pɔdi i.

13 But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

N kpiiba, n ke bua ke nilo n ya ye li bonbonlin i yaali ntie bi tinkpiiba ya po, ke lan ŋmadi o maalima nani yabi n ke pia ban daani yaali.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

Ti ya tuo ke jesu bo kpe ke bia yiedi, u tienu ba yiedi'ti mɔ ti kaadin yeni jesu.

15 For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.

Ke dugini nani u tienu tili n yedi maama, ke tinbi yabi n da pia i miani ki gu jesu guanma; ti kan gaa liiga yeni bi kpienma ka.

16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

Kelima ti diedo ba cedi maleknba siigan yendo n yigini, li naatunli n gɔa mɔa tapolu po, yabi n du jesu po ke den kpe ban kpia ke yiedi.

17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

Ke tinba yabi n da sieni ki pia i miani, wan yugdi ti kuli ke do yen'ti tapolu jesu ke yeg yeno li pamanlin nni.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Yin ya paandi i liebi pala li maama po.
