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.
Zvino zvimwe, hama, tinokukumbirisai, nekukurudzira naIshe Jesu, sezvamakagamuchira kwatiri kuti munofanira kufamba nekufadza Mwari sei, kuti muwanze nekuwanzisisa pazviri.
2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Yeshua.
Nokuti munoziva mirairo yakadini yatakakupai kubudikidza naIshe Jesu.
3 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
Nokuti ichi ndicho chido chaMwari, kuitwa vatsvene kwenyu, kuti murege upombwe;
4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honour,
kuti umwe neumwe wenyu azive kuzviwanira mudziyo wake mukuitwa mutsvene nemurukudzo,
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,
kwete pakuchiva kwechishuwo, kunyange sevahedheni vasingazivi Mwari;
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.
kusava neanopfuurikidza akanyengera hama yake pachiitiko; nokuti Ishe ndiye mutsivi wezvese izvi, sezvatakagara takuudzaiwo nekupupura.
7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
Nokuti Mwari haana kutidanira kutsvina, asi kuutsvene.
8 Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
Naizvozvo anozvidza, haazvidzi munhu, asi Mwari wakatipawo Mweya wake Mutsvene.
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,
Zvino maererano nerudo rweukama hamutsvaki kuti ndikunyorerei, nokuti imwi mumene makadzidziswa naMwari kuti mudanane;
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;
nokuti nemwi munozviita kuhama dzese dziri paMakedhonia yese; asi tinokukurudzirai, hama, kuti muwanzise zvikuru,
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,
uye mushingairire kuva nerunyararo, nekuita basa renyu pachenyu, nekushanda nemaoko enyu pachenyu, sezvatakakurairai;
12 that you may walk properly towards those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
kuti mufambe zvinoremekedzwa kune vari kunze, uye musashaya chinhu.
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.
Asi handidi kuti mushaiwe ruzivo, hama, maererano nevarere, kuti murege kushungurudzika sevamwewo vasina tariro.
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.
Nokuti kana tichitenda kuti Jesu wakafa uye wakamuka, saizvozvowo vakarara kubudikidza naJesu, Mwari achavauisa pamwe naye.
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.
Nokuti izvi tinokuudzai neshoko raIshe, kuti isu vapenyu, tinosiiwa kusvikira pakuuya kwaIshe, hatingatongotangiri vakarara.
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,
Nokuti Ishe amene achaburuka kubva kudenga nekudana kune simba, nenzwi remutumwa mukuru, nehwamanda yaMwari; zvino vakafa muna Kristu vachatanga kumuka;
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.
kozouya isu vanorarama vanosiiwa, tichabvutwa pamwe navo mumakore, kuti tichingamidze Ishe mumhepo; saizvozvowo tichava naIshe nekusingaperi.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Naizvozvo nyaradzanai nemashoko awa.
