1 Thessalonians 5
1 Bvt of the times and seasons, brethren, yee haue no neede that I write vnto you.
Lino mobanse nkacayandika kwambeti tumulembele shacindi nambi bushiku mposhi bikenshike ibi bintu.
2 For ye your selues knowe perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall come, euen as a thiefe in the night.
Pakwinga amwe mobene mucinshi kendi kwambeti bushiku bwakwisa kwa Mwami Yesu nibukese eti kabwalala ncakute kwisa mashiku.
3 For when they shall say, Peace, and safetie, then shall come vpon them sudden destruction, as the trauaile vpon a woman with childe, and they shall not escape,
Bantu bonse bakatatika kwambeti, “Palaba lumuno bintu byonse bilaba cena,” Popelapo mwakutayeyela ceshikubashina nicikashike mwakutilimusha, mbuli kubaba kwa mapensho akute kushikila mutukashi ulipepi kupulukamo. Cakubinga kuliyawa naba umo eshakafwambe.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkenes, that that day shall come on you, as it were a thiefe.
Nomba amwe mobanse, nkamulipo mumushinshe, kwambeti ubo busuba bukamutilimushe mwakutayeyela mbuli kabwalala.
5 Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, neither of darkenesse.
Pakwinga mwense muli mumumuni, kayi ne munshi uli nenjamwe. Nkatulipo mumashiku nambi mumushinshe sobwe.
6 Therefore let vs not sleepe as do other, but let vs watch and be sober.
Neco katutona tulo mbuli bantu nabambi ncebabele, nsombi twelela kuba babangamana, katutaba bakolewa sobwe.
7 For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night.
Pakwinga bantu bakute kona mashiku, kayi bakute kukolewa cindi camashiku.
8 But let vs which are of the day, be sober, putting on the brest plate of faith and loue, and of the hope of saluation for an helmet.
Nomba afwe njafwe bantu beshikwinsa bintu bya mumuni, neco katutakolewanga. Twelela kufwala lushomo ne lusuno kubeti cakufwala ca nshimbi ceshikucinjilisha ntiti, kayi kupembelela kwetu kubeti cishoti ceshikunjilisha ku mutwi cakwambeti nitukapuluke.
9 For God hath not appointed vs vnto wrath, but to obtaine saluation by the meanes of our Lord Iesus Christ,
Pakwinga Lesa nkatukwila kwisa kupenshewa cebo ca bukalu bwakendi, nsombi kwambeti tutambule lupulusho kupitila muli Yesu Klistu.
10 Which died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.
Uyo walatufwila kwambeti kwikale nebuyumi pamo nendiye, twacibanga bayumi nambi tufwa.
11 Wherefore exhort one another, and edifie one another, euen as ye doe.
Neco mulayandikinga kuyuminishanya kayi ne kunyamfwilishana mbuli ncomulenshinga.
12 Nowe we beseeche you, brethren, that ye acknowledge them, which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lord, and admonish you,
Tulamusengenga mobanse, kwambeti mubapenga bulemu abo balamutangunininga nekumulesha ncomwela kwinsa pakati penu mubuyumi bwacklistulistu.
13 That yee haue them in singular loue for their workes sake. Bee at peace among your selues.
Mubape bulemu ne lusuno lwenu pacebo ca ncito njobalenshinga. Kayi mwikalenga mulumuno pakati penu.
14 We desire you, brethren, admonish them that are out of order: comfort ye feeble minded: beare with the weake: be pacient toward all men.
Tulamusengenga kayi mobanse kwambeti mubacenjeshe batolo. Bayuminisheni bayowa ne balefuka kayi ne bantu bonse mwakwikalika moyo.
15 See that none recompense euil for euil vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both toward your selues, and toward all men.
Kamutasumisha muntu kubweshela caipa pa caipa, nsombi cindi conse bayandishishenga kwinshilana bintu byaina palwenu kayi neku bantu bonse.
16 Reioyce euermore.
Kondwani masuba onse,
17 Pray continually.
kamupailani kuli Lesa cindi conse,
18 In all thinges giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus toward you.
Cindi conse kamulumbanga Lesa, pakwinga encakute kuyanda kwambeti mwinse cebo cakwambeti mwekatana ne Yesu Klistu.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
Kamutaukanishanga Mushimu uswepa,
20 Despise not prophecying.
kamutesebanya mulimo wa bushi shinshimi.
21 Try all things, and keepe that which is good.
Lino byelekesheni bintu byonse, kwambeti mubishibe na nibyancinencine. Amwe mumantepo byaina,
22 Absteine from all appearance of euill.
nekukana bwipishi buli bonse.
23 Nowe the very God of peace sanctifie you throughout: and I pray God that your whole spirite and soule and body, may be kept blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ.
Lino Lesa uyo latwikalikinga mulumuno, amuswepeshe munshila iliyonse. Amubambe cena mu mano asulila, mumoyo ne mumubili, kwambeti mukacanike babula bulema akesanga Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
24 Faithfull is hee which calleth you, which will also doe it.
Uyo walamukuwa washomeka, kayi nakamwinshile bintu ibi.
25 Brethren, pray for vs.
Mobanse kamutupaililangonga.
26 Greete all the brethren with an holy kisse.
Mubape mitende banse bonse.
27 I charge you in the Lord, that this Epistle be read vnto all the brethren the Saintes.
Lino ndamwabilinga kupitila mungofu sha Mwami kwambeti mubelenge kalata iyi kuli banenu bonse bashoma.
28 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you, Amen. ‘The first Epistle vnto the Thessalonians written from Athens.’
Luse lwa Mwami Yesu Klistu lube nenjamwe.
