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.
1 Woodin banda, nya-izey, iri g'araŋ ŋwaaray, iri g'araŋ yaamar mo Rabbi Yesu ra. Araŋ dondon iri do mate kaŋ araŋ ga hima ka dira ka kaan Irikoy se, araŋ goono ga dira mo yaadin cine. Kal araŋ ma tonton mo ka koy jina a ra.
2For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
2 Zama araŋ ga bay lordey* kaŋ iri no araŋ se Rabbi Yesu maa gaa.
3For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
3 Zama wo kaŋ Irikoy ga ba ga ti araŋ hananyaŋo. Araŋ m'araŋ boŋ fay da zina dumi kulu.
4that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
4 Araŋ ra boro fo kulu ma bay mate kaŋ cine a ga nga gaahamo gaay hananyaŋ da darza ra,
5not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God;
5 manti bine* ibaay laaley ra bo, danga dumi cindey cine kaŋ yaŋ si Irikoy bay.
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.
6 Boro kulu ma si nga nya-izo darga k'a zamba haya din ra, zama Rabbi ya banako no hayey din kulu ra, danga mate kaŋ cine iri jin ka ci araŋ se k'araŋ kaseeti mo.
7For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
7 Zama Irikoy n'iri ce, manti zama iri ma goro ziibi ra se bo, amma zama iri ma goro hananyaŋ ra se.
8Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
8 Woodin sabbay se mo boro kaŋ wangu _dondonandiyaŋey din|_, manti boro se n'a wangu bo, amma Irikoy se no a wangu, nga kaŋ goono g'araŋ no nga Biya Hanna.
9But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
9 Amma nya-izey baakasina ciine ra, araŋ si laami iri ma hantum araŋ se, zama araŋ bumbey, Irikoy n'araŋ dondonandi araŋ ma ba care.
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;
10 Haciika yaadin no araŋ goono ga te nya-izey kulu se kaŋ go Masidoniya laabo kulu ra. Amma iri goono g'araŋ yaamar, nya-izey, araŋ ma tonton ka koy jina.
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;
11 Araŋ ma kookari ka goro nda baani. Wa laakal d'araŋ boŋ muraadey, ka goy d'araŋ kambey mate kaŋ cine iri n'araŋ no lordi.
12that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
12 Zama araŋ ma goray te kaŋ ga saba borey kaŋ yaŋ go taray jine, araŋ ma si jaŋ hay kulu mo.
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.
13 Amma, nya-izey, iri si ba araŋ ma jaŋ ka bay ngey kaŋ yaŋ kani ciine ra, hal araŋ ma si te bine saray danga boro cindey kaŋ yaŋ sinda beeje cine.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
14 Za kaŋ iri cimandi kaŋ Yesu bu, a tun koyne, yaadin gaa iri cimandi mo kaŋ borey kaŋ yaŋ kani Yesu ra, Irikoy ga kand'ey a banda.
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.
15 Zama woone no iri goono ga ci araŋ se Rabbi sanno boŋ: iri kaŋ ga ti fundikooney, kaŋ yaŋ ga cindi hala Rabbi kaayaŋo hane, iri si borey kaŋ yaŋ kani jin baa kayna.
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,
16 Zama Rabbi bumbo ga fun beena ra da jinde gaabikooni, da malayka* jine boro fo jinde, da Irikoy hillo jinda mo. Buukoy kaŋ yaŋ go Almasihu ra no ga jin ka tun.
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.
17 Woodin banda iri kaŋ ga ti fundikooney, kaŋ yaŋ ga cindi, Rabbi g'iri sambu sabat i banda kala burey ra ka nga gar beene batama ra. Yaadin no iri ga goro hal abada Rabbi banda.
18Therefore comfort one another with these words.
18 Woodin sabbay se araŋ ma care bine gaabandi nda sanney din.
