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.
HENCE then, my brethren, we pray of you, and beseech of you by our Lord Jeshu, that as you have received of us how it behoveth you to walk and to please Aloha, the more to increase.
2 Bara nyiru tiliru to na tina niminu nya Chilari Yesu.
For you know those precepts we gave to you in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
3 Ulelere usu Kutelle nlau mine ichin akmulet ndinon,
For this is the will of Aloha, your sanctification; and that you be distant from all fornication;
4 bara vat mine iyinin usen wani nyan lau nin zazinu.
and that every man of you know to possess his vessel in sanctification and in honour,
5 Na nya su kibinai ndinon ba (nafo anan nyan nsirti alenge na iyiru Kutelleh ba).
and not in the passions of concupiscence, as the rest of the Gentiles who know not Aloha.
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.
And that you dare not transgress, and defraud the one man his brother in this matter, because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as we have also before told you and testified.
7 Na Kutelle na yichila nari udu nyan dino gnari ba, udu nlau war.
For Aloha hath not called us to uncleanness, but unto sanctification.
8 Bara nene ulengena ari ilelena anit ari anari ba, Kutelleh ari ulenge na adin nizu Ufunu Ulau udu kitimine.
Therefore, whoever despiseth, not man he despiseth, but Aloha, who hath ingiven you his Holy Spirit.
9 Ubelen nsu linwana, na umon ba yertinu minu imon ba, bara anun atimine Kutelleh na dursuzo minu usu linwana.
But concerning the love of the brethren, you need not (that I) write to you; for you yourselves are taught of Aloha to love one another.
10 Nyan na dadu, anun udu linwana alenge na idi vat Makaduniya, arik din niminu akara linwana, nworu is gbardng.
And so do you to all the brethren who are in all Makedunia; but I beseech of you, my brethren, to excel.
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 study to be quiet and be occupied with your own employments, and work with your hands, as we have admonished you;
12 Sun nene bara inan china dert udu alenge naidi ndas kidegene, baratutung iwa dira imon.
that you may walk becomingly towards the outward-ones, and of man you may not 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 I wish you to know, my brethren, that for those who are asleep you should not have sorrow, as the rest of men, who have no 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 Jeshu died and arose, so also Aloha those who have slept in Jeshu will bring with him.
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.
But this we say to you by the word of our Lord, that we who remaining at the coming of our Lord, who live, will not precede those who have slept.
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.
For our Lord himself with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief of angels, and with the trumpet of Aloha, will come down from heaven, and the dead who are in the Meshiha will arise 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.
and then we who remaining alive, shall be rapt with them together in clouds, to the meeting of our Lord in the expanse; and so always with our Lord shall we be.
18 Bara nene, tan linuana akara nin nagbulan alole.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
