1 Thessalonians 4
1 Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Yeshua, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.
Xaq jeriꞌ qachalal, kaqata chiꞌwe rukꞌ ronojel qanimaꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús are chikꞌaslebꞌej ri kꞌaslemal ri qas kaqaj cho ri Dios, jetaq ri xiwetaꞌmaj qukꞌ.
2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Yeshua.
Iwetaꞌm chik ri ucholajil ri xqakꞌamawaꞌj che ri Ajawxel xuqujeꞌ xqabꞌij chiꞌwe ix.
3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
Jeriꞌ rumal ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Ajawxel are chi kiqꞌat iwibꞌ che ri makaj kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ.
4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honour,
Chiꞌjujunal chiwetaꞌmaj jas jeꞌ kibꞌan chuchajixik ri ityoꞌjal rech jeriꞌ kikꞌaslebꞌej jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij.
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,
Man je ta kixnoꞌjinik jetaq ri winaq ri man e kojoninaq taj che ri Dios.
6 that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
Xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta bꞌa jun kubꞌan kꞌax che ri rachalal rukꞌ taq we jastaq riꞌ. Ri Ajawxel kuqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri jewaꞌ kenoꞌjinik, jetaq ri qakꞌutum chiꞌwach.
7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
Jeriꞌ rumal ri Dios man xujusikꞌij ta apanoq chubꞌanik chꞌulujil xane rech kaqakꞌaslebꞌej jun tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal.
8 Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
Xaq jeriꞌ xapachin ri karetzelaj we ucholajil we jastaq riꞌ, man are ta karetzelaj ri winaq xane are karetzelaj ri Dios, ri xyoꞌwik ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel chiꞌwe.
9 But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
Man rajawaxik ta kꞌut kaqatzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe chi kiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ chiꞌjujunal, jeriꞌ rumal cher are ri Dios kꞌutuwinaq chiꞌwach jas kibꞌan chuloqꞌaxik iwibꞌ.
10 for indeed you do it towards all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
Qas tzij wi sibꞌalaj iꞌloqꞌ ri alaxik ri keꞌl pa Macedonia. Pune jeriꞌ kixqataqchiꞌj rech sibꞌalaj kiloqꞌaj iwibꞌ ix.
11 and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you,
Chikojo ichuqꞌabꞌ rech jeriꞌ kixkꞌojiꞌ pa jaꞌmaril kukꞌ konojel ri winaq xuqujeꞌ are chiwilij ri rajawaxik kibꞌano xuqujeꞌ chikojo ri iqꞌabꞌ chubꞌanik ri ichak, jetaq ri qabꞌim chiꞌwe.
12 that you may walk properly towards those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
Rech rukꞌ ri inoꞌjibꞌal kiꞌchek ri winaq ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj xuqujeꞌ man kitoqꞌij ta jastaq iwe chike.
13 But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
Qachalal, man kaqaj taj chi mat kiwetaꞌmaj jas kakꞌulmataj kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kaminaq chik, rech man kixbꞌison taj jetaq ri kakibꞌan ri man kꞌo ta kuꞌlibꞌal kikꞌuꞌx.
14 For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Yeshua.
Ri uj kaqakojo chi ri Jesús xkamik xuqujeꞌ xkꞌastaj uwach je xuqujeꞌ kabꞌan na chikikꞌastajisaxik ri xekamik ri kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx pa Cristo.
15 For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
Rumal riꞌ kaqabꞌij chiꞌwe ri kubꞌij ri utzij ri Ajawxel, ri uj ri man uj kaminaq taj man kujnabꞌej ta bꞌik chikiwach ri e kaminaqibꞌ are kape ri Ajawxel.
16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s shofar. The dead in Messiah will rise first,
Tzi are ri Ajawxel kaqaj na loq pa ri kaj, kꞌa te riꞌ rukꞌ ri utaqanik ri kinimal ri angelibꞌ xuqujeꞌ rukꞌ ri usuꞌ ri Dios, kekꞌastaj na bꞌik nabꞌe ri e kaminaqibꞌ pa Cristo.
17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
Ri uj kꞌut ri uj kꞌaslik, ri man uj kaminaq ta na, kujkꞌam bꞌik junam kukꞌ, kujeꞌ na pa ri sutzꞌ keꞌqariqa qibꞌ rukꞌ ri Ajawxel pa ri kyaqiqꞌ.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Xaq jeriꞌ chitaqchiꞌj iwibꞌ chiꞌjujunal rukꞌ taq we tzij riꞌ.
