I Thessalonians 4

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

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.

For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

Fa fantatrareo ny didy nomenay anareo avy tamin'i Jesosy Tompo.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

Fa izao no sitrapon'Andriamanitra, dia ny hanamasinana anareo, hifadianareo ny fijangajangana,

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

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

Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

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

That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

mba 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.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

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

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

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

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

Fa ny amin'ny fifankatiavan'ny mpirahalahy, dia tsy misy tokony hosoratako aminareo, satria ny tenanareo dia ampianarin'Andriamanitra hifankatia.

And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

Fa manao izany ihany ianareo amin'ny rahalahy rehetra eran'i Makedonia; nefa mananatra anareo ihany izahay, ry rahalahy, mba hitombo bebe kokoa,

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

ary mba hokendrenareo ny ho tafatoetra tsara sy hitandrina ny raharahanareo ary hiasa amin'ny tananareo araka ny nandidianay anareo,

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

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

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

Fa tsy tianay tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, ny amin'izay modi-mandry, mba tsy hahalahelovanareo tahaka ny sasany izay tsy manana fanantenana.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Fa 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.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

Fa 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.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Fa 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;

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

ary 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.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Koa dia mifampionòna ianareo amin'izany teny izany.
