⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

5:1
ወበእንተሰዕድሜሁወዕለቱወጊዜሁአኀዊነኢትፈቅዱንጽሐፍለክሙ።
But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
弟兄們,論到時候、日期,不用寫信給你們,
5:2
ለሊክሙተአምሩጥዩቀከመዕለተእግዚእነትመጽእከመምጽአተሰራቂሌሊተከማሁይከውንምጽአቱ።
For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.
人正說「平安穩妥」的時候,災禍忽然臨到他們,如同產難臨到懷胎的婦人一樣,他們絕不能逃脫。
5:4
ወአንትሙሰአኀዊነኢሀለውክሙውስተጽልመትከመይርከብክሙውእቱዕለትከመሰራቂ።
But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
弟兄們,你們卻不在黑暗裏,叫那日子臨到你們像賊一樣。
5:5
እስመኵልክሙውሉደብርሃንአንትሙወውሉደመዓልትወኢኮንክሙውሉደሌሊትወኢውሉደጽልመት።
You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
你們都是光明之子,都是白晝之子。我們不是屬黑夜的,也不是屬幽暗的。
5:6
ወኢንኑምእንከከመእልኩአላንንቃህበኅሊናነወንትጋህወንጥበብ።
so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
所以,我們不要睡覺像別人一樣,總要警醒謹守。
5:7
እስመእለይነውሙሌሊተይነውሙወእለሂይሰክሩሌሊተይሰክሩ።
For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
