1Finally, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live in a way that is pleasing to God, just as you have received from us. This is how you already live, so you should do so all the more.
1Nawkamyanawk, kawbangmaw hing moe, Sithaw koehhaih baktiah khosak han, tiah kaicae khae hoi nam tuk o baktih toengah, to tiah kho na sak o thaih aep hanah, Angraeng Jesu rang hoiah thapaekhaih lok kang thuih o.
2For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
2Angraeng Jesu rang hoiah kawbaktih kaalok maw kang paek o, tito na panoek o.
3For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality;
3Ciimcai ah khosak moe, zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih ayae hae Sithaw koehhaih ah oh:
4each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
4nangcae boih mah, angmah ih laom to kawbangmaw pakoeh moe, ciimsak han, tito panoek han oh;
5not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
5Sithaw panoek ai Gentelnawk baktiah taksa koehhaih to na patom o han om ai:
6and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
6hae hmuen pongah mi kawbaktih mah doeh angmah ih nawkamya nuiah kasae hmuen sah hmah nasoe: Angraeng loe to baktih kasae hmuen sah kaminawk nuiah lu lakung ah oh, to pongah thaisakhaih lok kang thuih o coek boeh.
7For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
7Amhnongsak hanah Sithaw mah aicae hae kawk ai, ciimcai han ih ni kawk.
8Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
8To pongah kami maeto khet patoekhaih tawn kami loe, anih mah kami to khet patoek ai, aicae han Angmah ih Kacai Muithla paekkung, Sithaw to ni patoek.
9Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
9Toe nangcae khaeah loe nawkamya amlunghaih kawng to ka tarik han angaih ai: maeto hoi maeto amlung hanah Sithaw angmah roe ang patuk o boeh.
10And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more
10Macedonia prae boih ah kaom nawkamyanawk khaeah to tiah na sak o: toe nawkamyanawk, pop aep aep ah na sak o thai hanah kang pacae o;
11and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.
11kang thuih o ih baktih toengah, kamdueng rue ah khosah oh, nangmacae ih tok to sah oh, nangmacae ban hoiah tok to sah oh;
12Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.
12to tiah ni tasa bang ih kaminawk mah azat paek ih kami ah na om o ueloe, angaihaih tidoeh om ai ah kho na sah o thai tih.
13Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
13Toe nawkamyanawk, oephaih tawn ai kaminawk baktiah, poekhaih tawn ai ah khosah o hmah, palung na set o han ai ah, iip kaminawk ih tamthang thai ai ah ohsak han kang koeh o haih ai.
14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
14Jesu loe duek moe, angthawk let boeh, tiah a tang o nahaeloe, to tiah Jesu ah iip kaminawk doeh Sithaw angmah hoi nawnto caeh haih tih.
15By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
15Angraeng ih lok rang hoiah nangcae khaeah hae tiah lok kang thuih o, Angraeng angzoh khoek to hing kanghmat aicae mah, iip kaminawk to a caeh o taak mak ai:
16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
16Angraeng angmah roe hanghaih lok, kasang koek van kami ih lok, Sithaw ih mongkah lok hoi nawnto van hoiah anghum tathuk tih: to naah Kri ah kadueh kaminawk to angthawk o hmaloe tih:
17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
17to naah aicae kahing kanghmat kaminawk to Angraeng hnuk hanah van ah, nihcae hoi nawnto tamai thungah la tahang tih: to pacoengah loe Angraeng khaeah dungzan ah a om o tih boeh.
18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
18To pongah maeto hoi maeto hae lok hoiah tha angpaek oh.
