1弟兄們,至論那時候與日期,不需要給你們寫什麼。 | 1But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you; |
2你們原確實知道:主的日子要像夜間的盜賊一樣來到。 | 2For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night. |
3幾時人正說:「平安無事」,那時滅亡會猝然來到他們身上,就像痛苦來到懷孕者身上一樣,決逃脫不了。 | 3For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. |
4但是你們,弟兄們,你們不是在黑暗中,以致那日子像盜賊一樣襲擊你們; | 4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. |
5你們眾人都是光明之子和白日之子;我們不屬於黑夜,也不屬於黑暗。 | 5For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. |
6所以我們不當像其他的人一樣貪睡,卻當醒寤清醒, | 6Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober. |
7因為人睡覺是黑夜睡覺,喝醉的人是黑夜喝醉; | 7For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. |
8但是我們做白日之子的,應當清醒,穿上信德和愛德作甲,戴上得救的望德作盔, | 8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. |
9因為天主沒有揀定我們為洩怒,而是藉我們的主耶穌基督為獲得拯救, | 9For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, |
10他為我們死了,為叫我們不論醒寤或睡眠,都同他一起生活。 | 10Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. |
11為此,你們應互相安慰,彼此建樹,就如你們所行的。 | 11For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do. |
12弟兄們,我們還求你們尊敬那些在你們中勞苦,在主內管理你們和勸戒你們的人, | 12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you: |
13為了他們的工作,你們更應本着愛,重視他們;你們要彼此平安相處。 | 13That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them. |
14弟兄們,我們還勸勉你們:要勸戒閑蕩的,寬慰怯懦的,扶持軟弱的,容忍一切人! | 14And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. |
15要小心:人對人不要以惡報惡,卻要時常彼此勉勵,互相善待,且善待一切人。 | 15See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men. |
16應常歡樂, | 16Always rejoice. |
17不斷祈禱, | 17Pray without ceasing. |
18事事感謝:這就是天主在基督耶穌內對你們所有的旨意。 | 18In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. |
19不要消滅神恩, | 19Extinguish not the spirit. |
20不要輕視先知之恩; | 20Despise not prophecies. |
21但應當考驗一切,好的,應保持; | 21But prove all things; hold fast that which is good. |
22各種壞的,要遠避。 | 22From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves. |
23願賜平安的天主親自完全聖化你們,將你們整個的神魂、靈魂和肉身,在我們的主耶穌基督來臨時,保持的無瑕可指: | 23And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
24那召你們的是忠信的,他必實行。 | 24He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it. |
25弟兄們,你們也要為我們祈禱。 | 25Brethren, pray for us. |
26你們要以聖吻問候所有的弟兄。 | 26Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. |
27我因主誓求你們,向眾弟兄朗誦這封書信。 | 27I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. |
28願我們的主耶穌基督的恩寵與你們同在! | 28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. |
