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.
Hatimaye, alongo, twabatia mwoyo na kubasihi kwa Yesu Kristo. Kati mwatipokya maelezo boka kwitu namna ipalikwa kuyenda na kumpendeza Nnongo, kwa ndela iyo kae muenende na kupanga zaidi.
2 For all of you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
Kwa mana mutangite ni maelekezo gani tubapeile pitya Ngwana Yesu.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that all of you should abstain from fornication:
Kwa mana aga nga mapenzi ga Nnongo: utakaso winu-panga muukwepe umalaya,
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Panga kila yumo winu atangite namna ya kumiliki nyumbo bake mwene katika utakatifu na heshima.
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
Kana ube na nyumbo kwa ajili ya tamaa ya yega(kati mataifa bamtangite kwaa Nnongo).
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.
Abile kwaa mundu yeyote ywapala yoka mipaka na kunkosea nongowe kwa ajili ya likowe lee. Kwa mana Ngwana nga mwene lepa kisasi kwa makowe gote aga, kati tubile tangulia kuwaonya na shuhudia.
7 For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
Kwa mana Ngwana atukema kwaa kwa uchafu, ila kwa utakatifu.
8 He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his holy Spirit. (pneuma)
Kwa eyo ywalikana lee abakanikiya kwaa bandu. ila amkanikiya Nnongo, ywaabapeile Roho mtakatifu wake.
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.
Kuhusu upendo wa alongo, ntopo haja ya mundu yeyote kukuandikia, kwa mana mwatipundishwa na Nnongo pendana mwenga kwa mwenga.
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;
Hakika, mupangite aga gote kwa alongo babile Makedonia yote, lakini twabasihi, alongo, mpange hata na zaidi.
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;
Twaasihi mutamaniye tama maisha ga utulivu, kujali kazi yinu, na kupanga kazi kwa maboko ginu, kati yatuwaamuru.
12 That all of you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that all of you may have lack of nothing.
Panga aga ili uweze kuyenda vizuri na kwa heshima kwa habo babile panja ya imani, ili upungukiwe na lihitaji lyolyote.
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.
Tupla kwaa mwenga mugayowe yaibile kwaaa sahihi, mwenga mwalongo, nnani ya habo bagonjike, ili kana muhuzunike kati benge babile kwaa na uhakika kuhusu wakati waisa.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Mana twaaminiya kuwa Yesu awile na kuyoka kae, nyonyonyo Nnongo alowa baleta pamope na Yesu habo bangonjike kiwo katika ywembe.
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.
Kwa ajili ya ago twaamakiya mwenga kwa nebo lya Ngwana, panga twenga tubile akoto, twalowa tama muda wa kuisa kwake Ngwana, hakika twayongolya kwa balo bagonjike kiwo.
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:
Kwa mana Ngwana mwene alowa uluka boka kumaunde. Aisa na lilobe likolo, pamope ni lilobe lya malaika nkolo, pamope na parapanda ya Nnongo, na bembe bawile katika Kristo walowa yoka kwanza.
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.
Boka po twanga twatubile akoto, twatubile, twaloyanganika katika maunde pamope nabo kumlaki Ngwana hewani. Kwa ndela yee tubile na Ngwana masoba gote.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (logos)
Kwa eyo, mufarijiane mwenga kwa mwenga kwa maneno aga.
