¹Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

¹[Fananarana ny Tesaloniana hitondra tena miendrika ny filazantsara] Ary farany, ry rahalahy, mangataka aminareo sy mananatra anareo ao amin'i Jesosy Tompo izahay, mba ho araka ny nandraisanareo taminay izay mety handehananareo sy hanaovanareo ny sitrapon'Andriamanitra - dia araka ny andehananareo ihany - no hitomboanareo bebe kokoa.

²For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

²Fa fantatrareo ny didy nomenay anareo avy tamin'i Jesosy Tompo.

³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

³Fa izao no sitrapon'Andriamanitra, dia ny hanamasinana anareo, hifadianareo ny fijangajangana,

⁴That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

⁴mba samy hahafantatra izay hahazoanareo ny fanaky ny tenanareo avy, amin'ny fahamasinana sy ny voninahitra,

⁵Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

⁵tsy amin'ny filàna fotsiny, tahaka ny jentilisa izay tsy mahalala an'Andriamanitra,

⁶That 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.

⁶mba tsy hisy hanao saina hifetsy ny rahalahiny amin'izany; fa ny Tompo no mpamaly ny amin'izany zavatra rehetra izany, toy ny nolazainay sy nambaranay taminareo rahateo. [ Na: amin'ny raharaha]

⁷For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

⁷Fa Andriamanitra tsy niantso antsika ho amin'ny fahalotoana, fa amin'ny fahamasinana.

⁸He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

⁸Koa izay mandà, dia tsy olona no laviny, fa Andriamanitra, Izay manome anareo ny Fanahiny Masina.

⁹But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

⁹Fa ny amin'ny fifankatiavan'ny mpirahalahy, dia tsy misy tokony hosoratako aminareo, satria ny tenanareo dia ampianarin'Andriamanitra hifankatia.

¹⁰And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

¹⁰Fa manao izany ihany ianareo amin'ny rahalahy rehetra eran'i Makedonia; nefa mananatra anareo ihany izahay, ry rahalahy, mba hitombo bebe kokoa,

¹¹And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

¹¹ary mba hokendrenareo ny ho tafatoetra tsara sy hitandrina ny raharahanareo ary hiasa amin'ny tananareo araka ny nandidianay anareo,

¹²That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

¹²mba handehananareo amin'izay fitondran-tena mahamendrika amin'ny eo ivelany, ary mba tsy hanan-java-mahory ianareo.

¹³But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

¹³[Ny hihavian'i Kristy sy ny toetry ny Kristiana izay modi-mandry] Fa tsy tianay tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, ny amin'izay modi-mandry, mba tsy hahalahelovanareo tahaka ny sasany izay tsy manana fanantenana.

¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

¹⁴Fa raha inoantsika fa efa maty Jesosy sady efa nitsangana indray, dia toy izany koa no hitondran'Andriamanitra izay efa nodi-mandry tao amin'i Jesosy hiaraka aminy. [ Na: tamin'ny alalan'i Jesosy]

¹⁵For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

¹⁵Fa izao no lazainay aminareo amin'ny tenin'ny Tompo: isika, izay velona ka mbola mitoetra mandra-pihavin'ny Tompo, dia tsy mba hialoha izay efa nodi-mandry tsy akory.

¹⁶For 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:

¹⁶Fa ny tenan'ny Tompo no hidina avy any an-danitra amin'ny fiantsoana sy ny feon'ny arikanjely ary ny trompetran'Andriamanitra, ka izay maty ao amin i Kristy no hitsangana aloha;

¹⁷Then 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.

¹⁷ary rehefa afaka izany, dia isika izay velona ka mbola mitoetra no hakarina hiaraka aminy ho eny amin'ny rahona hitsena ny Tompo any amin'ny habakabaka; dia ho any amin'ny Tompo mandrakariva isika.Koa dia mifampionòna ianareo amin'izany teny izany.

¹⁸Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

¹⁸Koa dia mifampionòna ianareo amin'izany teny izany.
