1Ay atmaten, tlemdem s ɣuṛ-nneɣ amek ara teddum iwakken aț-țɛeǧbem i Sidi Ṛebbi ; a kkun nenhu s yisem n Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ kemmlet ɣer zdat iwakken aț țimɣuṛem.
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.
2Ay atmaten teẓram belli lewṣayat i wen-nesselmed, kkant-ed s ɣuṛ Sidna Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.
2For ye know what charges we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3D ṣṣfa n wulawen-nwen i gebɣa Sidi Ṛebbi ; yebɣa aț-țḥadrem iman nwen si lefsad,
3For this is [the] will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication;
4yal yiwen deg-wen ur ițțak ara lebɣi i tnefsit-is deg wayen icemten ; ad iddu s ṣṣfa d lḥeṛma,
4that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour,
5ur ițmenni ara ayen icemten am akken xeddmen imejhal ur nessin ara Sidi Ṛebbi.
5(not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,)
6Deg wannect-agi ilaq yiwen ur ițkellix gma-s di tlufa yeɛnan idrimen. Acḥal n tikkal i kkun-nweṣṣa iwakken aț-țḥadrem iman-nwen axaṭer Sidi Ṛebbi ad yerr țțar akken i wen-t-id-nenna !
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.
7Sidi Ṛebbi ur aɣ-d-inni ara a neddu di lefsad meɛna iweṣṣa-yaɣ-d a neddu s ṣṣfa.
7For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.
8S wakka win ur neqbil ara lewṣayat-agi, mačči d amdan i gɛuṣa, meɛna iɛuṣa Sidi Ṛebbi i wen-d-ițțaken Ṛṛuḥ-is iqedsen.
8He therefore that [in this] disregards [his brother], disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you.
9Ɣef wayen yeɛnan tagmaț, fiḥel ma nemmeslay-awen-d fell-as, imi temyeḥmalem wway gar-awen akken i tlemdem s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi.
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.
10Akken daɣen i tḥemmlem atmaten yellan di tmurt n Masidunya meṛṛa. Di leɛnaya nwen ay atmaten, kemmlet deg webrid-agi.
10For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more,
11Nadit aț-țɛicem di talwit, ur țɛassat ara d acu i xeddmen wiyaḍ. Xedmet s ifassen-nwen, ur ṭṭamaɛet ara aɣṛum-nwen deg wiyaḍ, akken i kkun-nweṣṣa yakan
11and to seek earnestly to be quiet and mind your own affairs, and work with your [own] hands, even as we charged you,
12iwakken a kkun-qadṛen medden ɣef ddemma n tikli nwen yeṣfan, yerna ur tețțilim ț-țaɛkumt ula i yiwen.
12that ye may walk reputably towards those without, and may have need of no one.
13Ay atmaten, ur nebɣi ara a kkun-neǧǧ di ccekk ɣef wayen yeɛnan wid yemmuten, iwakken ur tețțilim ara di leḥzen am wid ur nesɛi ara asirem n leslak n Sidna Ɛisa.
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.
14Axaṭer akken numen belli Sidna Ɛisa yemmut yuɣal yeḥya-d, numen daɣen belli Sidi Ṛebbi a d-isseḥyu wid yemmuten, imi umnen s Sidna Ɛisa.
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.
15Atah wayen ara wen-d-nini akken i t-id-isselmed Ssid-nneɣ : ma yella mazal-aɣ nedder asm'ara d-yuɣal, ur nețțili ara d imezwura ɣef wid yemmuten.
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;
16Axaṭer m'ara d-iffeɣ lameṛ, m'ara d-tenṭeq taɣect n lmelk akk-d ṣṣut n lbuq n Sidi Ṛebbi, Sidna Ɛisa s yiman-is a d-iṣubb seg igenni, imiren widak-nni yemmuten, llan umnen yis, a d-ḥyun d imezwura si ger lmegtin.
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;
17Ma d nukni ma yella mazal-aɣ nedder, a nețwarfed yid-sen ɣef wusigna, a nemmager Sidna Ɛisa deg igenwan, iwakken a nili yid-es i dayem.
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.
18Ihi mseǧhadet, mṣebbaṛet wway gar-awen s yimeslayen-agi.
18So encourage one another with these words.)
