¹Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

¹Murhe phral, sichilian amendar sar trobul te phiren te aven drago le Devleske. Ai me dikhav te keren kodia, numa akana ame mangas tumendar ai rhugisavas tumende ando anav le Kristosko, te keren mai mishto ai mai mishto.

²For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

²Tume zhanen so sichardiam tume ando anav le Kristosko.

³For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

³O Del mangel tume te aven swuntsi, ai te arakhen tume katar le dieli bi vuzhe (kurvia).

⁴that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

⁴Trobul swako anda tumende te inkerel pesko stato vuzho ai malado.

⁵not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God;

⁵Ai na te meken tume te avel tume ginduria bi vuzhe, sar le manush kai chi zhanen O Del.

⁶that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

⁶Ande kadia diela chi iek manush chi trobul te shubilpe karing pesko phral, vai te amilpe ka so si leske phralesko: ame vunzhe phendiam tumenge, ai phendiam tumenge mishto te arakhen tume, ke O Del xoliavola zurales pel manush kai keren kasavendar dieli bi vuzhe.

⁷For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

⁷Ke O Del akhardia ame te na traiisaras ando bi vuzhimos, numa ando vuzhimos.

⁸Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

⁸Anda kodia, o manush kai shudel kado sicharimos, chi shudel ieke manushes, numa le Devles, kai del tume O Swunto Duxo.

⁹But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

⁹Chi trobul ame te mai ramosaras tumenge pa dragostia, kai trobul te avel tume le phralenge kai zhanen le Devles. Ke tume sichilian korkorho katar O Del sar trobul te aven drazhi iek kavreske

¹⁰for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

¹⁰Ai zhanas ke kadia keren mashkar sa le phral kai si ande sa e Macedonia. Numa mangas tumendar amare phral te mai but aven drazhi iek kavreske.

¹¹and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

¹¹Ai thon zor te traiin ande pacha, ai len sama katar tumare dieli, ai te keren buchi tumare vastensa te avel tume so trobul tume, sar ame phendiam tumenge te keren,

¹²that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

¹²ai kadia aven respektime katar kodola kai chi zhanen le Devles, ai kadia chi trobula te mangen vari so katar le kolaver.

¹³But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

¹³Amare phral, ame mangas te zhanen o chachimos pa kodola kai mule (soven), saxke te na aven nekezhime sar le kolaver manush kai nai le chi iek azhukerimos.

¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

¹⁴Ke ame pachas ame ke O Jesus mulo ai pale zhuvindisailo; sakadia pachan ame, ame zhanas ke O Del zhuvindila le Kristosa kodolen kai mule.

¹⁵For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁵Ame phenas tumenge kadia sar O Kristo phendia amenge, ame kai avasa inker zhuvinde kana O Kristo avela, ame chi zhasatar mai anglal sar le mule.

¹⁶For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

¹⁶Ke O Kristo Wo hulela anda rhaio ek tsipimasa, le glasosa le baro angelosko, le tuturazasa le Devleski, ai kodola kai mule ai pachaiepe ando Kristo zhuvindina mai anglal.

¹⁷then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

¹⁷Porme ame kai traiisa inker pe phuv avasa line opre lensa andel nuvuria, te zhas ka Kristo ando rhaio ai beshas sagda le Kristosa.

¹⁸Therefore comfort one another with these words.

¹⁸Pala kodia, raduin iek kavres kadale vorbensa.
