1 Thessalonians 4
1 Furthermore then we plead to you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as all of you have received of us how all of you ought to walk and to please God, so all of you would abound more and more.
Ie amy zao ry longo, ihalalia’ay, naho risihe’ay amy Talè Iesoà, ty hitomboa’ areo nainai’e amo fañaveloañe nañoha’aio, naho hañasìtra an’ Andrianañahare;
2 For all of you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
fa fohi’ areo o fanoroañe natolo’ay anahareo añam’ Iesoà Talèo.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that all of you should abstain from fornication:
Inao ty satrin’ Añahare: t’ie hiavake, hisitak’ ami’ty fiolorañe tsy mañeva;
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
ie songa mahay milie-batañe ho ami’ty fiavahañe naho asiñe,
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
tsy hilomoloañe an-kadrao manahake o kilakila’ ondaty tsy mahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahareo;
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
sindre tsy handilatse naho hañaramamo an-drahalahi’e; fa i Talè ro mpamale i hene rezay, hambañe amy nimanea’ay hatahata ama’ areoy.
7 For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
Toe tsy nikanjy an-tika ho an-kaleorañe t’i Andrianañahare fa ho am-piavahañe.
8 He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his holy Spirit. (pneuma)
Aa ze tsy mipaoke, le tsy t’ie mifary ondaty, fa an’ Andrianañahare nanolots’ anahareo i Arofo Masiñey.
9 But as concerning brotherly love all of you need not that I write unto you: for all of you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
Aa ty amy fifampirañetañe longo, tsy ipaia’ areo sokireñe, ie hohoen’ Añahare hifampikoko;
10 And indeed all of you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we plead to you, brethren, that all of you increase more and more;
naho toe anoe’ areo amo hene longo e Makedoniao. Fe osihe’ay ry longo te hitolom-pitomambao,
11 And that all of you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
hinozoha’areo fañavelo am-pianjiñañe, songa manao ty tolon-draha’e naho mitoloñe am-pità’e amy nitoroa’aiy,
12 That all of you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that all of you may have lack of nothing.
hañavelo an-kavantañañe amo alafe’eo naho tsy hipay inoñ’inoñe.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that all of you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
Aa tsy teako ho bahimo nahareo, ry longo, ty amo miròtseo, hera hihontoke manahake o ila’e tsy aman-ko tamàeñeo.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Aa kanao atokisantika te nivilasy t’Iesoà vaho nitroatse, le izay ty hindesen’ Añahare mindre ama’e ze mirotse am’ Iesoà ao.
15 For this we say unto you by the word (logos) of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
Aa hoe ty fivola’ay ama’ areo ty amy tsara’ i Talèy, te tsy hiaolo o mirotseo tika mbe mañente ami’ty fitotsaha’ i Talè,
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
fa i Talè vata’e ro hizotso hirik’ andindìñe ey an-koike, am-piarañanañan-talèn’ anjely, naho amy antsivan’ Añaharey; naho hitroatse hey ze nivetrake amy Norizañey ao,
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
vaho ho rambeseñe mb’amo rahoñeo mb’eo tika mbe veloñe hifanampe am’iereo an-drahoñe ey, hifanalaka amy Talè amy tiokey. Le ho nainai’e amy Talè ao tikañe.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (logos)
Aa le mifañohòa amy tsara zay.
