1 Tesalonik 4
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Frè m' yo, mwen te moutre nou ki jan pou n' mennen bak nou si nou vle fè Bondye plezi. Wi, mwen konnen se konsa n'ap viv vre. Men, koulye a m'ap mande nou, nan non Seyè Jezi a, tanpri chache viv pi byen toujou.
2 Nou konnen tou sa m' te moutre nou, avèk otorite Seyè Jezi te ban mwen an.
3 Men sa Bondye vle pou nou: Se pou nou viv apa pou Bondye, pou nou pa lage kò nou nan imoralite.
4 Se pou chak gason konn chwazi madanm li yon jan ki respektab, ki dakò ak volonte Bondye.
5 Pa kite move lanvi pouse nou tankou moun lòt nasyon yo ki pa konnen Bondye.
6 Nan bagay sa a, ankenn gason pa dwe fè frè l' lapenn, ni fè l' lenjistis. Mwen deja di nou sa, mwen te ban nou kont avètisman sou sa: Seyè a gen pou peni moun ki fè bagay konsa.
7 Bondye pa rele nou pou nou viv nan vye kondisyon lèd. Men, li rele nou pou nou viv yon jan ki dakò ak volonte li.
8 Se poutèt sa, moun ki pa asepte pawòl sa a, se pa pawòl lèzòm li pa koute, se pawòl Bondye ki ban nou Sentespri l' la menm li pa koute.
9 ¶ Kanta renmen nou dwe genyen pou frè n' yo, mwen pa bezwen ekri nou sou sa. Paske, se Bondye menm ki te moutre nou ki jan nou dwe yonn renmen lòt.
10 Mwen konnen se konsa menm n'ap aji avèk tout frè yo nan tout peyi Masedwan lan. Men, m'ap mande nou, frè m' yo, pou nou chache viv pi byen toujou.
11 Chache viv ak kè poze. Okipe zafè pa nou. Travay ak men nou pou nou pa rete sou kont moun.
12 Konsa, moun ki pa kwè nan Kris la va respekte nou, epi nou menm, nou p'ap rete sou kont pesonn.
13 ¶ Frè m' yo, sou keksyon moun ki mouri deja yo, mwen ta renmen nou konn verite a, pou nou pa gen lapenn tankou lòt moun yo ki pa gen espwa nan Seyè a.
14 Menm jan nou kwè Jezi te mouri epi li te leve soti vivan ankò a, konsa tou, se pou n' kwè tout moun ki te gen konfyans nan li lè yo te mouri, Bondye va fè yo tounen ansanm ak Jezi.
15 Dapre sa Seyè a te moutre m' lan, men sa m'ap di nou: Nou menm k'ap vivan toujou lè Seyè a va vini an, nou p'ap pran devan moun ki mouri deja yo.
16 Lè sa a, n'a tande yon gwo lòd pase, n'a tande vwa chèf zanj lan ansanm ak kout klewon Bondye a: epi Seyè a menm va desann sot nan syèl la. Moun ki te mete konfyans yo nan Kris la lè yo te mouri, se yo ki va leve soti vivan an premye.
17 Apre sa, nou menm ki va vivan toujou lè sa a, y'ap vin pran nou, nou menm ansanm ak moun ki soti vivan nan lanmò yo, y'ap mete nou sou nwaj yo pou n' al kontre Seyè a anwo a. Konsa, nou tout n'ap toujou ansanm ak Seyè a.
18 Se pou nou yonn ankouraje lòt ak pawòl sa yo.
1 Thessalonians 4
New International Version
1 Thessalonians 4
New International Version
Living to Please God
4 As for other matters, brothers and sisters,(A) we instructed you how to live(B) in order to please God,(C) as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 It is God’s will(D) that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;(E) 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a](F) in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust(G) like the pagans,(H) who do not know God;(I) 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[b](J) The Lord will punish(K) all those who commit such sins,(L) as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.(M) 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.(N)
9 Now about your love for one another(O) we do not need to write to you,(P) for you yourselves have been taught by God(Q) to love each other.(R) 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia.(S) Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,(T) 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands,(U) just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders(V) and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed(W) about those who sleep in death,(X) so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.(Y) 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,(Z) and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.(AA) 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,(AB) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(AC) 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,(AD) with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel(AE) and with the trumpet call of God,(AF) and the dead in Christ will rise first.(AG) 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left(AH) will be caught up together with them in the clouds(AI) to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord(AJ) forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another(AK) with these words.
