1 Bathesalonike 4

1 Mbe eja kubhutelo, bhana bhasu, echibhasimbagilisha no kubhelembelesha mu Yesu Kristo. Lwakutyo mwalamiye amelesho okusoka kweswe na lwakutyo jibheile mu kalibhatie no kumukondelesha Nyamuanga, mu njila eyo one mulibhatega no kukola kwafu.

Finally then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to live and to please God, even as you are living, that you excel more and more.

2 Kulwo kubha mumenyele na melesho- ki ganu chanyakile okulabha ku Latabhugenyi Yesu.

For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3 Kulwo kubha kunu nikwo okwenda kwa Nyamuanga okwesibhwa kwemwe-ati mwing'ang'e no obhulomesi,

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

4 ati bhuli munu wemwe kamenya okumutunga omugasi wae omwene mu bhulengelesi ne chibhalo.

that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

5 Wasiga kubha no mugasi kulwa inamba yo mubhili (lwa bha Maanga bhanu bhatamumenya Nyamuanga).

not in the passion of lust, even as the nations who do not know God;

6 Asiga kubhao munu wona wona unu kambuka olubhibhi no kumunyamulila owabho ingulu yo omusango gunu. Kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi niwe owoku chisubhisha olusima ku misango jone jinu lwa kutyo chatangatile okubhakengya no kubhabhambalila.

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.

7 Kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi atachibhilikiye mu bhujabhi nawe mu bhulengelesi.

For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

8 Kulwejo unu kalilema linu atakubhalema abhanu, nawe kamulema Nyamuanga, unu kabhayana Mwoyo Mwelu waye.

Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

9 Okulubhana ne lyenda lya bhaili, bhutalio bhukene bhwo munu wona wona owo kukwandikila, kulwo kubha mwiigisibhwe na Nyamuanga okwendana emwe abhene-la.

But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

10 Ni chimali, mwakolele ganu gone mu bhaili bhanu bhali Makedonia yona, mbe nawe echibhelembelesha, abhaili, mukole no kukilao.

for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

11 Echibhelembelesha mubhe no bhulame bhwo bhwolobhe, no kwenda emilimu jemwe no kukola emilimu kwa mabhoko gemwe, lwa kutyo chabhalagiliye.

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;

12 Nukole ganu koleleki mutule okulibhata kisi na muchibhalo mwabho bhanu bhali anja ne likilisha, koleleki wasiga kukeyelwako no bhukene bhwona bhwona.

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

13 Chitakwenda emwe musombokelwe lwakutyo jitali ja kisi, emwe bhaili, ingulu ya bhanu bhamamile, koleleki mwasiga kubha no bhusulumbaye lwa bhandi bhanu bhatana bhumenyi okulubhana no mwanya gunu oguja.

But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

14 Nolwo chikekilisha ati Yesu afuye no kusuluka lindi, nikwo kutyo Nyamuanga kabhaleta amwi na Yesu kwabho bhanu bhafuye mu mwene.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

15 Ingulu yago echibhabhwila emwe kwo misango ja Latabhugenyi, ati eswe bhanu chili bhaanga, bhanu chilibhao mu mwanya gwo kuja kwaye Latabhugenyi, ni chimali chitakubhatangatila bhanu bhamamile munfwa.

For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.

16 Kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi omwene alika okusoka mumele. Kaja no bhulaka bhukulu, amwi no bhulaka bhwa malaika mukulu, amwi na ing'ombi ya Nyamuanga, bhanu bhafuye mu Kristo bhalisululwa okwamba.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

17 Okumala eswe bhanu chili bhaanga, bhanu chilibha chisigaye, chilibhuganganila bhona mu mele amwi okuja okumulamila Latabhugenyi mulutumba. Mu njila inu chilibha na Latabhugenyi nsiku jona.

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.

18 Kulwejo, musilishanyega emwe abhene kwa abhene ku misango jinu.

Therefore comfort one another with these words.
