1For the rest therefore, brethren, we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us, how you ought to walk, and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.
1Pea ʻi he meʻa ʻoku toe, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku mau kole mo enginaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he ʻEiki ko Sisu, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻomou ʻilo ʻiate kimautolu ke fēfē ʻa hoʻomou ʻaʻeva ke fakafiemālie ki he ʻOtua, ke mou tupulekina ai ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
2For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.
2He ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fekau naʻa mau tuku kiate kimoutolu mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu.
3For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that you should abstain from fornication;
3He ko e finangalo eni ʻoe ʻOtua, ke mou māʻoniʻoni, pea ke mou tapu mei he feʻauaki:
4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour:
4Ke mou taki taha ʻilo ke tauhi hono ipu ʻi he anga fakamāʻoniʻoni, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa;
5Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:
5ʻIkai ʻi he holi fakalielia, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi Senitaile, ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua:
6And that no man overreach, nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before, and have testified.
6Ke ʻoua naʻa fai hala ʻe ha tokotaha, ʻo kākaaʻi hono tokoua ʻi ha meʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe totongi ʻe he ʻEiki ki he kakai pehē kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa mau tomuʻa fakahā mo fakapapau kiate kimoutolu.
7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification.
7He naʻe ʻikai ui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he fakalielia, ka ki he māʻoniʻoni.
8Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us.
8Ko ia ia ʻoku manuki, ʻoku ʻikai ko e manukiʻi ʻae tangata, ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki kiate kitautolu hono Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni foki.
9But as touching the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you: for yourselves have learned of God to love one another.
9Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa fakakāinga, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae tohi ai kiate kimoutolu: he kuo mou akonekina mei he ʻOtua ke feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
10For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more:
10Pea ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fai ia ki he kāinga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Masitōnia, kotoa pē: ka ʻoku mau kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ke mou tupulekina lahi ʻaupito ai;
11And that you use your endeavour to be quiet, and that you do your own business, and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that you walk honestly towards them that are without; and that you want nothing of any man’s.
11Pea tokanga lahi ke mou anga fakalongo pe, pea ke mou fai taki taha hoʻomou ngaue, pea ke ngāueʻaki homou nima, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa mau fekau kiate kimoutolu;
12And we will not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope.
12Pea ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻo matamatalelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā, pea ke ʻoua naʻa mou masiva ʻi ha meʻa.
13For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.
13Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou taʻeʻilo, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku mohe, ke ʻoua naʻa mou mamahiʻia, ʻo hangē ko e niʻihi kehe ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau ʻamanaki lelei.
14For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept.
14He kapau ʻoku tau tui naʻe pekia ʻa Sisu pea toetuʻu hake, pea ʻoku pehē, ko kinautolu foki ʻoku mohe ʻia Sisu, ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu fakataha mo ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
15For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first.
15He ʻoku mau tala eni kiate kimoutolu ʻi he folofola ʻae ʻEiki, ko kitautolu ʻoku moʻui pea toe ʻi he hoko mai ʻae ʻEiki, ʻe ʻikai te tau muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku mohe.
16Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord.
16Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae ʻEiki mei he langi, ʻi he mavava, mo e leʻo ʻoe ʻāngelo lahi, mo e meʻa lea ʻae ʻOtua pea ko e pekia ʻia Kalaisi ʻe tomuʻa tuʻu:
17Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.
17Pea ko kitautolu ʻoku moʻui mo toe, ʻe toʻo hake fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao, ke fakafetaulaki ki he ʻEiki ʻi he ʻatā: pea pehē, te tau ʻi he ʻEiki ʻo taʻengata.
