1 Utasalonika 4

1 Ukutulne, linwana, ti din niminu akara nya Chikilari Yesu, nafo na ina seru uliru kiti bite, ukifo isu uchin nin pozu Kutelleh abiri nafo idin chinu, dirtinong isu gbardang.

For the rest, brethren, we request and exhort you, in our Lord Jesus, [that], even as ye received from us, how ye must needs walk and please God, —even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.

2 Bara nyiru tiliru to na tina niminu nya Chilari Yesu.

For ye know what charges we gave you, through the Lord Jesus.

3 Ulelere usu Kutelle nlau mine ichin akmulet ndinon,

For, this, is a thing willed of God, your sanctification, —that ye should abstain from unchastity,

4 bara vat mine iyinin usen wani nyan lau nin zazinu.

That ye should know, each one of you, how, of his own vessel, to possess himself in sanctification and honour:

5 Na nya su kibinai ndinon ba (nafo anan nyan nsirti alenge na iyiru Kutelleh ba).

Not with a passion of coveting, —just as even the nations who know not God, —

6 Tutung umon wa patilin anin nanza gbane liburi nilemone ba, bara Chikilari unan tunju nile imonere vat, nafo natina min wunu minu atuf tinin kuru belle.

Not over-reaching and defrauding, in the matter, his brother; because, an avenger, is the Lord, concerning all these things, —even as we before told you, and solemnly called you to witness.

7 Na Kutelle na yichila nari udu nyan dino gnari ba, udu nlau war.

For God did not call us, with a permission of impurity, but, in sanctification.

8 Bara nene ulengena ari ilelena anit ari anari ba, Kutelleh ari ulenge na adin nizu Ufunu Ulau udu kitimine.

Therefore, indeed, he that disregardeth—it is, not a man, he disregardeth, but God, —Who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.

9 Ubelen nsu linwana, na umon ba yertinu minu imon ba, bara anun atimine Kutelleh na dursuzo minu usu linwana.

But, concerning brotherly love—no need, have ye, that we be writing unto you; for, ye yourselves, are, God-taught, to the loving of one another; —

10 Nyan na dadu, anun udu linwana alenge na idi vat Makaduniya, arik din niminu akara linwana, nworu is gbardng.

And, in fact, ye are doing it unto all the brethren [who are] in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more,

11 Ti din niminu akara tutung itenizin nya kutik, lmin upiziru nimon yi, inin su kataah nin na chara mine, nafo na tiwa kpada minu

And to be ambitious to be quiet, and to be attending to your own affairs, and to be working with your hands, —even as, unto you, we gave charge—

12 Sun nene bara inan china dert udu alenge naidi ndas kidegene, baratutung iwa dira imon.

That ye should walk reputably toward those without, and, of no one, have, need.

13 Na tidii suu itan uyinu nari ba, linuana mbelen na lenge na idinnmmoro, yenju iwa so nin na buri asirne nafo alengena na isali nin kidegen bun ba.

But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are falling asleep, —lest ye be sorrowing, even as the rest also, who are without hope;

14 Asa ti yinna Yesu wa ku afita tutung, nanere Kutelleh ba dak nin Yesu nin na lenge na ina dieu nya mmoro nin gne.

For, if we believe that, Jesus, died, and rose again, so, also will, God, bring forth with him, them who have fallen asleep through Jesus;

15 Bara nene ti belin minuu nya ligbulang Chikilari, nworu arik ale na ti di a chine, na i chino nari udu kubi dak Chikilari, kidegen na tiba yarnu na ina dieu nyan nmoro bara.

For, this, unto you, do we say, by a word of the Lord, —that, we, the living who are left unto the Presence of the Lord, shall in nowise get before them who have fallen asleep;

16 Kutelle litime ba tolu unuzu kitene kani. Nin teit, nin liwui ngo nnono Kutelle, nin kulantung Kutelle, alenge na ina iku nya Kristi ba fita nfunu.

Because, the Lord himself, with a word of command, with a chief-messenger’s voice, and with a trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven, —and, the dead in Christ, shall rise, first,

17 Arik alenge na tidi a chine, na ichino nari, ligozine iba fieu ghantunu nari nya na wut tizuro nin Cikilari nyan funu. Na nere tiba so ligowe nin Cikilari.

After that, we, the living who are left, together with them, shall be caught away, in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: —and, thus, evermore, with the Lord, shall we be!

18 Bara nene, tan linuana akara nin nagbulan alole.

So then, be consoling one another with these words.
