1 Thessalonians 4

1 And furthermore we beseeche you, brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Iesus, that ye increase more and more, as ye haue receiued of vs, how ye ought to walke, and to please God.

Mogik, jowetewa, ne wapuonjou kaka onego udag malongʼo ne Nyasaye, mana kaka ngimau chalo sani. To koro wakwayou kendo wajiwou kuom Ruoth Yesu mondo umed timo kamano moloyo.

2 For ye knowe what commandements we gaue you by the Lord Iesus.

Nikech ungʼeyo puonj mane wamiyou kuom teko mar Ruoth Yesu.

3 For this is the will of God euen your sanctification, and that ye should abstaine from fornication,

En dwaro Nyasaye mondo ubed jomaler. Nyasaye dwaro ni ubed mabor gi timbe mag terruok

4 That euery one of you should know, how to possesse his vessell in holines and honour,

to bende ngʼato ka ngʼato nyaka puonjre rito ringre e yo maler kendo malongʼo,

5 And not in the lust of concupiscence, euen as the Gentiles which know not God:

ma ok oyie mondo ringre oowre gi gombo mathoth kaka jopiny makia Nyasaye timo.

6 That no man oppresse or defraude his brother in any matter: for the Lord is auenger of all such thinges, as we also haue tolde you before time, and testified.

To kuom wachni, ngʼato kik tim ni wadgi marach kata wuonde. Ruoth biro kumo joma timo timbe ma kamago mana kaka ne wasenyisou kendo siemou.

7 For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse.

Nimar Nyasaye ne ok oluongowa mondo wadag e ngima mar dwanyruok, to ne oluongowa mondo wadag e ngima maler.

8 Hee therefore that despiseth these thinges, despiseth not man, but God who hath euen giuen you his holy Spirit.

Omiyo ngʼato angʼata motamore winjo puonjni ok otamore winjo dhano, to otamore winjo Nyasaye owuon mamiyou Roho Maler.

9 But as touching brotherly loue, ye neede not that I write vnto you: for ye are taught of God to loue one another.

To kuom wach hera ma jowete kuom Kristo onego oherrego to ok wane tiende ndikonue, nikech un uwegi Nyasaye osepuonjou mondo uherru ngʼato gi ngʼato.

10 Yea, and that thing verily yee doe vnto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more,

To kuom adiera uhero jowete duto man e miech Makedonia duto. Kata kamano wakwayou, jowetewa, mondo umed timo kamano moloyo mano.

11 And that ye studie to be quiet, and to meddle with your owne busines, and to worke with your owne handes, as we commanded you,

Dwaro maduongʼ mar ngimau onego obed ni mondo udag e ngima mokwe, ka urango mana tijeu kende, kendo kutiyo matek gi lwetu mana kaka ne wachikou,

12 That yee may behaue your selues honestly towarde them that are without, and that nothing be lacking vnto you.

mondo kit ngimau mapile oywa chuny joma pok oyie mi gimiu luor, kendo kik uket genou kuom ngʼato angʼata.

13 I would not, brethren, haue you ignorant concerning them which are a sleepe, that ye sorow not euen as other which haue no hope.

Jowetewa, ok wadwar mondo ubed ka ukia gima timore ne joma osetho, kata mondo ubed gi kuyo ka joma moko, maonge gi geno.

14 For if we beleeue that Iesus is dead, and is risen, euen so them which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him.

Wayie ni Yesu notho mochier oa kuom joma otho, omiyo wayie ni Nyasaye biro chiero jomo oyie duto mosetho kaachiel kode.

15 For this say we vnto you by the worde of the Lord, that we which liue, and are remayning in the comming of the Lord, shall not preuent them which sleepe.

Kaluwore gi wach Ruoth owuon, wanyisou ni wan ma Ruoth noyudwa ka pod wangima chiengʼ ma nobie, ok wanakwong dhi kapok okaw joma osetho.

16 For the Lord himselfe shall descende from heauen with a shoute, and with the voyce of the Archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Nikech Ruoth owuon nolor koa e polo, mi nogol chik gi dwol maduongʼ, ka malaika maduongʼ kok, kendo ka turumbete mar Nyasaye ywak matek; eka joma nosetho kani kuom Kristo nochier mokwongo.

17 Then shall we which liue and remaine, be caught vp with them also in the clouds, to meete the Lord in the ayre: and so shall we euer be with the Lord.

Bangʼ mano, wan ma pod wadongʼ ka wangima noyudhwa kaachiel kodgi mi terwa malo e boche polo mondo warom gi Ruoth e polo. Omiyo wanabed gi Ruoth nyaka chiengʼ.

18 Wherefore, comfort your selues one another with these wordes.

Emomiyo jiwreuru gi wechegi.
