¹For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in [the] Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still 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 charges we gave you through 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 each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour,

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

⁵(not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,)

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

⁶not overstepping the rights of and wronging his brother in the matter, because the Lord [is] the avenger of all these things, even as we also told you before, and have fully 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 has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

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

⁸He therefore that [in this] disregards [his brother], disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you.

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

⁹Now concerning brotherly love ye have no need that we should write to 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.

¹⁰For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still 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 to seek earnestly to be quiet and mind your own affairs, and work with your [own] hands, even as we charged 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 reputably towards those without, and may have need of no one.

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

¹³But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are fallen asleep, to the end that ye be not grieved even as also the rest who 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 has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

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]

¹⁵(For this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that *we*, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen 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, with an assembling shout, with archangel's voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; 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*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always 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.

¹⁸So encourage one another with these words.)

¹⁸Koa dia mifampionòna ianareo amin'izany teny izany.
