1Ompi' omea, uma mingki' ki'uki' -kokoi ba nto'uma mpu'u eo karataa Pue'.
1But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
2Apa' ni'inca moto ompi': hewa karataa topanako ngkabengia, wae wo'o mpai' Eo Karataa Pue', konce mpai' ihi' dunia' nakaratai.
2For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3Rata mpai' tempo-na, tauna mpo'uli': "Lompe' moto katuwu' -ta, uma ria to tapoka'eka'." Ntaa' we'i, nto'u toe-midi kanarumpa' -ra silaka-e! Tohe'e mpai' jadi' ncorobaa, hewa pontodohaka tobine to neo' mo'ana'. Uma ria ohea-ra mpasalewa huku' -ra.
3For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.
4Aga koi', ompi', uma-koi hi rala kabengia-na. Uma-koi mpai' konce hi eo karataa Pue' Yesus, hewa hi karataa topanako.
4But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5Mobaja-mi nono-ni omea, mo'ingku-koi hewa tauna to momako' hi eo-na. Uma-ta hewa tauna to mpobabehi gau' to dada'a hi rala kabengia-na.
5You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
6Jadi', mo'inga' -inga' -ta pai' mpakanoto nono-ta. Neo' -ta leta' hewa tauna to hi rala kabengia-na-pidi.
6so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
7Apa' tauna to turu pai' malangu, turu pai' malangu hi bengi-na.
7For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
8Tapi' kita' toi-e, tauna to hi rala kabajaa-na. Toe pai' kana tapakanoto nono-ta. Kana tapomotede' mpu'u pepangala' -ta hi Pue' pai' ahi' -ta hi doo, bona moroho-ta hewa tantara to mpobaju baju ahe'. Kana ncarumaka-ta Alata'ala, kanawai' -nata kalompea' hi eo mpeno-na, bona moroho-ta hewa tantara to mosongkoi songko ahe'.
8But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9Kana tapakanoto nono-ta, apa' Alata'ala uma mpelihi-ta bona mporata roe-na. Napelihi-tale bona nahore-ta ngkai huku' jeko' -ta pai' nawai' -ta kalompea' sabana petolo' Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus.
9For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10Yesus Kristus mate mpotolo' -ta, bona ane rata-ipi mpai', tuwu' hangkaa-ngkania hante Hi'a-tamo, ba tuwu' -ta-pidi nto'u toe ba mpolia' mate-tamo.
10who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11Toe-mi ompi', mome'apui-koi, pai' momerohoi mponono-mokoi, hewa to nibabehi-mi toe-e lau.
11Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
12Ompi' -ompi', kiperapi' bona nibila' -ra to mpokamu bago Pue' hi laintongo' -ni, apa' hira' to jadi' totu'a-ni hi rala Pue' pai' to mpoparesai' -koi.
12But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,
13Bila' pai' pengkorui mpu'u-ra, pai' poka'ahi' -ra sabana pobago-ra toe. Tuwu' hintuwu' hadua bo hadua.
13and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14Ompi', kiperapi' bona niparesai' -ra-rawo to lose mobago. Apui-ra to mere' nono-ra. Pe'inte' -ra to lente pepangala' -ra. Mosabara hi hawe'ea tauna.
14We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
15Ane ria to mogau' dada'a hi kita', neo' tapehawai hante gau' to dada'a wo'o. Agina-pi tababehi oa' to lompe' hi doo-ta pai' hi hawe'ea tauna.
15See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.
16Kana goe' ncuu-ta,
16Rejoice always.
17tida mosampaya,
17Pray without ceasing.
18pai' mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala nau' ba napa to jadi', apa' toe-mi konoa Alata'ala hi kita' to mosidai' hante Kristus Yesus.
18In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
19Neo' nilawa' pobago Inoha' Tomoroli'.
19Don’t quench the Spirit.
20Neo' uma nisaile' lolita tauna ane mpohowa' -ra Lolita Alata'ala.
20Don’t despise prophesies.
21Pekiri lompe' butu mela-na, niponciloi ba ngkai Alata'ala mpu'u-di ba bela-di, pai' kakamu to lompe'.
21Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
22Pelelii' hawe'ea kehi to dada'a.
22Abstain from every form of evil.
23Mekakae-a hi Alata'ala to mpowai' -ta kalompea' tuwu', kuperapi' bona napakaroli' kehi-ni, duu' -na moroli' mpu'u-koi. Kuperapi' bona napewili' -koi, lompe' woto-ni lompe' nono ba kao' -ni, bona uma ria kasalaia' -ni nau' hangkedi' ane rata nculii' -ipi Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus.
23May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24Alata'ala mpokio' -ta mpotuku' -i. Jadi', Hi'a wo'o-wadi to mpopadupa' hawe'ea tohe'e, apa' napadupa' oa' janci-na.
24He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
25Ompi' -ompi', kiperapi' bona niposampayai wo'o-ka-kaiwo.
25Brothers, pray for us.
26Parata-kaka-kaiwo tabe-kai pai' ahi' -kai hi hawe'ea ompi' hi rala Pue' Yesus to hi retu-ra.
26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27Hante kuasa to nawai' -ka Pue', kuperapi' bona sura toi nibasa hi nyanyoa hawe'ea ompi' hampepangalaa' to hi retu-ra.
27I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
28Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus mpogane' -koi.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
