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.
1Ka'omea-na ompi', kiperapi' bona nituku' hawa' -hawa' to ni'epe-mi ngkai kai', bona po'ingku-ni mpotuku' konoa Alata'ala. Kakoo-kono-na, lompe' -mi po'ingku-ni toe lau. Aga hante kuasa to nawai' -kakai Pue' Yesus, kiperapi' pai' kiparesai' mpu'u-koi bona nidonihii tena-pidi kalompe' po'ingku-ni toe-e.
2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
2Ni'inca-mi tudui' to oti kiparata-kokoi hante kuasa Pue' Yesus.
3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
3Tohe'i konoa Alata'ala, bona moroli' katuwu' -ta, neo' -hawo mogau' sala' hante toronaa ba hante tobine doo.
4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
4Butu dua tomane kana mpodoo lompe' tobine-ra, ntuku' ohea to lompe' hi poncilo Alata'ala pai' hi poncilo manusia'.
5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
5Neo' napakeni hina nono-ta to dada'a, hewa to biasa jadi' hi tauna to uma mpo'incai Alata'ala.
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.
6Hi gau' tomane pai' tobine toe, neo' -ta mpobabehi to sala' hi doo ba mpobagiu doo. Oti-mi kipolonto' -kokoi wengi pehuku' -na Alata'ala hi tauna to mogau' hewa toe.
7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8Apa' napa patuju-na Alata'ala mpokio' -ta ompi'? Uma-ta nakio' bona mogau' sala'. Nakio' -tale pai' nawai' -ta Inoha' -na to moroli', bona moroli' katuwu' -ta. Jadi', hema to mposapuaka tudui' tohe'i-e, uma-i mposapuaka manusia'. Alata'ala-hana to nasapuaka.
8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9Kakaliliua-na ompi', ane gau' mpoka'ahi' ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta, kakono-na uma-pi-hawo mingki' ki'uki' -kokoi ba apa-apa. Apa' Alata'ala mpotudui' -koi momepoka'ahi' hadua bo hadua.
9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10Nipoka'ahi' hawe'ea ompi' hampepangalaa' -ni hi Makedonia. Aga kiperapi' mpu'u ompi', bona nidonihii tena-pidi po'ingku-ni tetu.
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;
11Pelompehi mpu'u bona tuwu' hintuwu' hante doo. Penonoi bago-ni moto, neo' mpogalo urusia doo. Mobago mpali' pongkoni' -ni, hewa to oti-mi kitudui' -kokoie wengi.
11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12Ane hewa toe po'ingku-ni, uma-koi mpai' karapi' -rapi' hi doo. Pai' tauna to uma mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus mpobila' -koi.
12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13Ompi' -ompi', patuju-kai bona ni'inca mpu'u-hawo napa to jadi' hi doo-ta to mate, bona neo' susa' rahi nono-ni hewa tauna to uma ncarumaka Alata'ala.
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.
14Taparasaya Yesus mate-imi pai' tuwu' nculii' -i. Toe pai' taparasaya bate toe wo'o mpai' to jadi' hi hawe'ea tauna to mate-mi to mepangala' hi Yesus. Ane tumai-i mpai' Pue' Yesus, Alata'ala mpokeni-ra tumai hangkaa-ngkania hante Hi'a.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15Tohe'i-mi tudui' to kitarima ngkai Pue' Yesus. Ane rata nculii' -ipi mpai' Pue', kita' to tuwu' -pidi nto'u toe, uma-ta meri'ulu ngkai doo-ta to mpolia' mate-mi.
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.
16Apa' ane mana'u-ipi mpai' Pue' tumai ngkai suruga, ta'epe pekio' tadulako mala'eka hante moni sangkakala Alata'ala. Pai' hi tanda toe, tuwu' nculii' -ramo tomate to mepangala' hi Kristus.
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:
17Oti toe-di, kita' to tuwu' -pidi ra'ore' dohe-ra hilou hi rala limu' mpohirua' -ki Pue' hi lolo raoa. Pai' tida-tamo dohe Pue' duu' kahae-hae-na.
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.
18Jadi' ngkai toe-mi ompi', mometanta'u-mokoi hadua bo hadua hante lolita tohe'e.
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
