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

¹But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to,

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

²for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of [the] Lord so comes as a thief by night.

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

³When they may say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon her that is with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

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

⁴But *ye*, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief:

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

⁵for all *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 do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;

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

⁷for they that sleep sleep by night, and they that drink drink by night;

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

⁸but *we* being of [the] day, let us be sober, putting on [the] breastplate of faith and love, and as helmet [the] hope of salvation;

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

⁹because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

¹⁰who has died for us, that whether we may be watching or sleep, we may live together with him.

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

¹¹Wherefore encourage one another, and build up each one the other, even as also ye do.

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

¹²But we beg you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in [the] Lord, and admonish you,

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

¹³and to regard them exceedingly in love on account of their work. Be in peace among yourselves.

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

¹⁴But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all.

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

¹⁵See that no one render to any evil for evil, but pursue always what is good towards one another and towards all;

¹⁶Bethiere çareten aleguera.

¹⁶rejoice always;

¹⁷Paussu gabe othoitz eguiçue.

¹⁷pray unceasingly;

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

¹⁸in everything give thanks, for this is [the] will of God in Christ Jesus towards you;

¹⁹Spiritua ezteçaçuela iraungui:

¹⁹quench not the Spirit;

²⁰Prophetiác eztiçaçuela menosprecia.

²⁰do not lightly esteem prophecies;

²¹Gauça guciac experimentaitzaçue: on denari çatchetzate:

²¹but prove all things, hold fast the right;

²²Gaizquiaren irudi orotaric beguira çaitezte.

²²hold aloof from every form of wickedness.

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

²³Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

²⁴He [is] faithful who calls you, who will also perform [it].

²⁵Anayeác, othoitz eguiçue guregatic.

²⁵Brethren, pray for us.

²⁶Salutaitzaçue anaye guciac pot saindurequin.

²⁶Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

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

²⁷I adjure 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 [be] with you.
