¹And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,

¹Walaalayaalow, uma baahnidin in laydiin soo qoro wax ku saabsan wakhtiyada iyo xilliyada.

²for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,

²Waayo, idinka qudhiinnuba qummaati baad u garanaysaan inay maalinta Rabbigu u imanayso sida tuug habeen u yimaado.

³for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail [doth] her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

³Markay leeyihiin, Waa nabad iyo salaamad, kolkaasaa filashola'aan halaaggu u qaban doonaa sida fooshu naag uur leh u qabato; iyaguna sinaba ugama baxsan doonaan.

⁴and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

⁴Laakiinse idinku, walaalayaalow, gudcur kuma jirtaan in maalintaasu sida tuug idiin qabato.

⁵all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,

⁵Waayo, kulligiin waxaad tihiin carruurta nuurka iyo carruurta maalinnimada, innagu ma nihin kuwa habeennimada iyo gudcurka;

⁶so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

⁶sidaas daraaddeed yeynan seexan sida kuwa kale yeelaan, laakiinse aan soo jeedno oo aan feeyignaanno.

⁷for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,

⁷Waayo, kuwa seexdaa habeenkay seexdaan, kuwa sakhraamaana habeenkay sakhraamaan.

⁸and we, being of the day — let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet — a hope of salvation,

⁸Laakiin innagoo kuwa maalinta ah aan feeyignaanno, oo gashanno hubka laabta oo rumaysadka iyo jacaylka ah iyo koofiyadda rajada badbaadada ah.

⁹because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁹Waayo, Ilaah inooma uu dooran cadhada, laakiinse wuxuu inoo doortay inaynu ku badbaadno Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix,

¹⁰who did die for us, that whether we wake — whether we sleep — together with him we may live;

¹⁰kan inoo dhintay, inaynu la wada noolaanno isaga, haddaynu nool nahay iyo haddaynu dhimannoba.

¹¹wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.

¹¹Sidaas daraaddeed midkiinba midka kale ha dhiirrigeliyo oo ha dhiso sidaad yeelaysaan oo kale.

¹²And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,

¹²Laakiinse waxaannu idinka baryaynaa, walaalayaalow, inaad maamuustaan kuwa idinku dhex hawshooda, oo xagga Rabbiga idinkaga sarreeya oo idinla taliya;

¹³and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

¹³oo aad iyaga aad iyo aad jacayl ugu derejaysaan shuqulkooda aawadiis. Nabad ku wada jooga.

¹⁴and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

¹⁴Oo waannu idin waaninaynaa, walaalayaalow, Kuwa si aan hagaagsanayn u socda la taliya, oo kuwa qalbi jabay dhiirigeliya, oo kuwa itaalka yar garab siiya, oo dadka oo dhanna u dulqaata.

¹⁵see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

¹⁵Iska jira inaan midkiinna midka kale shar shar uga celin; laakiinse kol kasta wax wanaagsan ha ugu dadaalo, oo dadka oo dhanna ha ugu dadaalo.

¹⁶always rejoice ye;

¹⁶Had iyo goorba farxa.

¹⁷continually pray ye;

¹⁷Joogsila'aanna tukada.

¹⁸in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

¹⁸Wax walbana mahad ka naqa, waayo, taasu waxay idiin tahay doonista Ilaah xagga Ciise Masiix.

¹⁹The Spirit quench not;

¹⁹Ruuxa ha deminina.

²⁰prophesyings despise not;

²⁰Wax sii sheegiddana ha quudhsanina.

²¹all things prove; that which is good hold fast;

²¹Wax walba tijaabiya, waxa fiicanna xajiya.

²²from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

²²Wax kasta oo shar u egna ka fogaada.

²³and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²³Ilaaha nabadda qudhiisu quduus ha idinka wada dhigo, oo ruuxiinna iyo naftiinna iyo jidhkiinna dhammaan ha la wada ilaaliyo, iyagoo ceeb la' markii Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix yimaado.

²⁴stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do [it].

²⁴Kan idiin yeedhaa waa aamin, wuuna samayn doonaa.

²⁵Brethren, pray for us;

²⁵Walaalayaalow, noo soo duceeya.

²⁶salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

²⁶Walaalaha oo dhanna dhunkasho quduus ah ku salaama.

²⁷I charge you [by] the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;

²⁷Rabbigaan idinku dhaarinayaaye, Warqaddan ha loo akhriyo walaalaha oo dhan.Nimcada Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix ha idinla jirto.

²⁸the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you! Amen.

²⁸Nimcada Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix ha idinla jirto.
