¹Demboréz eta momentéz den becembatean, anayeác, ezta mengoaric scriba dieçaçuedan.

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

²Ecen ceuroc badaquiçue vngui ecen Iaunaren eguna ethorriren dela, ohoina gauaz beçala.

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

³Ecen erran deçatenean, Baque eta segurança: orduan gainera ethorriren çaye vstegaberico destructionea, içorra denari mina beçala, eta eztirade itzuriren.

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;

⁴Baina çuec, anayeác, etzarete ilhumbean, non egun harc, ohoinac eguiten duen beçala, ardiets çaitzaten.

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

⁵Çuec gucioc arguiaren haour çarete, eta egunaren haour: ezgara gauaren edo ilhumbearen haour.

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

⁶Ezgaunçala bada lo berceac beçala, baina gauden iratzarri eta garén sobre.

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

⁷Ecen lo daunçanac, gauaz lo daunça: eta horditzen diradenac, gauaz dirade hordi.

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

⁸Baina gu egunaren garenoc, garén sobre, fedezco eta charitatezco halacretaz veztituac, eta casquet orde, saluamendutaco sperançáz.

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,

⁹Ecen ezgaitu ordenatu Iaincoac hiracotzát, baina saluamenduaren vkaitecotzát Iesus Christ gure Iaunaz,

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

¹⁰Cein guregatic hil içan baita: bagaude iratzarriric, ala bagaunça lo, harequin batean vici garén.

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

¹¹Harren, exhorta eçaçue elkar, eta edifica eçaçue batac bercea, eguiten-ere duçuen beçala.

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

¹²Halaber othoizten çaituztegu, anayeác, eçagut ditzaçuen çuen artean trabaillatzen diradenac, eta çuen gaineco diradenac gure Iaunean, eta çuen admonestaçaleac:

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

¹³Eta amorio handitan eduqui ditzaçuen, eguiten dutén obragatic. Auçue baque elkarren artean.

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

¹⁴Halaber othoitz eguiten drauçuegu, anayeác, admonesta ditzaçuen vicitze desordenatutacoac, consola ditzaçuen gogo chipitacoac, sustenga ditzaçuen flaccuac, çareten spirituz patient gucietara.

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

¹⁵Beguirauçue nehorc eztieçón gaitza gaitzagatic nehori renda: baina vnguiari bethi çarreitzate, bata berceagana eta gucietara.

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;

¹⁶Bethiere çareten aleguera.

¹⁶always rejoice ye;

¹⁷Paussu gabe othoitz eguiçue.

¹⁷continually pray ye;

¹⁸Gauça gucietan esquerrac emainzquiçue: ecen haur da Iaincoaren çuetaraco vorondatea Iesus Christez.

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

¹⁹Spiritua ezteçaçuela iraungui:

¹⁹The Spirit quench not;

²⁰Prophetiác eztiçaçuela menosprecia.

²⁰prophesyings despise not;

²¹Gauça guciac experimentaitzaçue: on denari çatchetzate:

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

²²Gaizquiaren irudi orotaric beguira çaitezte.

²²from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

²³Bada Iainco baquezcoac ossoqui sanctifica çaitzatela: eta çuen spiritu gucia eta arima eta gorputza hoguen gabe, Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren aduenimenduco beguira ditecela.

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;

²⁴Fidel da çuec deithu çaituztena, eguinen-ere badu.

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

²⁵Anayeác, othoitz eguiçue guregatic.

²⁵Brethren, pray for us;

²⁶Salutaitzaçue anaye guciac pot saindurequin.

²⁶salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

²⁷Requeritzen çaituztet Iaunaren partez iracur daquién epistola haur anaye saindu guciey.

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

²⁸Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren gratia dela çuequin. Amen.

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