¹Chi trobul tume murhe phral, te ramosaras tumenge pal vriami ai kana kadala dieli kerdiona.

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

²Ke tume zhanen mishto ke o dies kai avela O Kristo, avela sar iek chor kai avel e riate.

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

³Kana le manush mothona, "Pacha ai nai chi iek baio," antunchi si kai strazo o nasulimos perela pe lende ai nashtina te skepinpe, avela sar le dukha kai si la zhuvlia kana si phari.

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;

⁴Numa tume murhe phral, chi san ando tuniariko, ai kodo dies chi trobul te avel pe tumende sar iek chor.

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

⁵Tume shavorhe san le vediariake, ai shavorhe le dieseske. Ame chi sam la rachake, chi le tuniarikoske.

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

⁶Ame chi trobul te sovas sar le kolaver; numa trobul te beshas vushtiarde ai te las sama.

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

⁷Ke e riate sovelpe; ai vi e riate macholpa.

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

⁸Numa ame sam le dieseske, ai trobul te las sama. Ame trobula te avel ame o pachamos ai e dragostia sar tsalia sastrune, ai o pachamos ke sam skepime sar iek staji sastruni.

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,

⁹Ke O Del chi alosardia ame te avel leski xoli pe amende, numa te avel ame o skepimos katar O Jesus Kristo.

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

¹⁰Ke O Jesus Kristo mulo amenge, saxke, ame te traiisaras vai sovas, ame traiisa lesa.

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

¹¹Den tume zor, ai zhutin iek kavres sar vunzhe keren.

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

¹²Amare phral, mangas tumendar te respektin kodolen kai keren buchi mashkar tumende, kodolen kai O Kristo thodia te ingeren tume po drom o lasho ai te sicharen tume.

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

¹³Sikaven lenge ke tume gindin pa lende, ai kai si tume e dragostia lenge palai buchi kai keren. Ai traiis ande pacha iek kavresa.

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

¹⁴Ame mangas tumendar, amare phral, te mothon kodolenge kai chi mangen te keren buchi. Pechin kodolen kai daran, ai zhutin kodolen kai si kovle ando pachamos, haliaren le ai te avel tume rhavda karing savorhende.

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

¹⁵Len sama te na kerel khonik nasulimos ke kerde leske nasulimos. Numa roden ande swako vriama te keren o mishtimos mashkar tumende, ai mashkar sa le manush.

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;

¹⁶Te aven sagda pherdo raduimasa.

¹⁶always rejoice ye;

¹⁷Rhugin tume sa data.

¹⁷continually pray ye;

¹⁸Naisin le Devleske ande soste godi. Ke so mangel O Del tumendar ande tumaro traio le Jesus Kristosa.

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

¹⁹Na aterdiaren e buchi le Swuntone Duxoski.

¹⁹The Spirit quench not;

²⁰Te na avel tumenge gratsia le profesi (na asan lende kai keren e buchi le Devleski).

²⁰prophesyings despise not;

²¹Numa len sama swako fielo. Garaven so si lasho.

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

²²Ai arakhen tume katar so godi si nasulimos ai kai miazol bezex.

²²from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

²³O Del kai del e pacha te kerel te aven sa leske, te garavel tume sa antrego; tumaro gindo, tumaro traio, ai tumaro stato bi doshako o dies kai avela O Jesus Kristo.

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;

²⁴Ke kodo kai akhardia tume peste kerela kodia, ke wo kerel so mothol.

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

²⁵Murhe phral, rhugin tume vi amenge.

²⁵Brethren, pray for us;

²⁶Ai chumiden sa le phralen sar phral.

²⁶salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

²⁷Mangav ma tumendar ando anav le Kristosko, jinen kado lil sa le phralenge.

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

²⁸O mishtimos amaro Devlesko O Jesus Kristo te avel tumensa, Amen.

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