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.
Темже убо, братие, просим вы и молим о Христе Иисусе, якоже приясте от нас, како подобает вам ходити и угождати Богови, якоже и ходите, да избыточествуете паче:
2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
весте бо, какова повеления дахом вам Господем Иисусом.
3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
Сия бо есть воля Божия, святость ваша, хранити себе самех от блуда,
4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,
и ведети комуждо от вас свой сосуд стяжавати во святыни и чести,
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,
а не в страсти похотней, якоже и языцы не ведящии Бога,
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.
и еже не преступати и лихоимствовати в вещи брата своего: зане мститель есть Господь о всех сих, якоже и прежде рекохом к вам и засвидетельствовахом.
7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
Не призва бо нас Бог на нечистоту, но во святость.
8 Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
Темже убо отметаяй не человека отметает, но Бога, Давшаго Духа Своего Святаго в нас.
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,
О братолюбии же, не требуете, да пишется к вам, сами бо вы Богом учени есте, еже любити друг друга:
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;
ибо творите то ко всей братии, сущей во всей Македонии. Молим же вы, братие, избыточествовати паче,
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,
и любезно прилежати, еже безмолвствовати и деяти своя и делати своима рукама, якоже повелехом вам:
12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
да ходите благообразно ко внешним и ни чесогоже требуете.
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.
Не хощу же вас, братие, не ведети о умерших, да не скорбите, якоже и прочии не имущии упования.
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.
Аще бо веруем, яко Иисус умре и воскресе, тако и Бог умершыя во Иисусе приведет с Ним.
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.
Сие бо вам глаголем словом Господним, яко мы живущии, оставшии в пришествие Господне, не имамы предварити умерших:
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,
яко Сам Господь в повелении, во гласе Архангелове и в трубе Божии снидет с небесе, и мертвии о Христе воскреснут первее:
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.
потом же мы, живущии оставшии, купно с ними восхищени будем на облацех в сретение Господне на воздусе, и тако всегда с Господем будем.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Темже утешайте друг друга в словесех сих.
