帖撒羅尼迦前書-1 Thessalo 第 5 章

5:1弟兄們,關於時候與時期,不用寫信給你們;
But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need for anything to be written to you;
5:2因為你們自己明確曉得,主的日子來到,好像夜間的賊一樣。
For you yourselves know perfectly well that like a thief in the night, so the day of the Lord comes.
5:3人正說平安穩妥的時候,毀滅忽然臨到他們,如同產難臨到懷胎的婦人一樣,他們絕不能逃脫。
When they say, Peace and security, then sudden destruction comes upon them, just as birth pangs to a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape.
5:4弟兄們,你們卻不在黑暗裏,叫那日子像賊一樣突然抓住你們;
But you, brothers, are not in darkness that the day should overtake you like a thief;
5:5因為你們都是光明之子和白晝之子。我們不是屬黑夜的,也不是屬黑暗的。
For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
5:6所以我們不要睡覺,像其餘的人一樣,總要儆醒謹守。
So then let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober.
5:7因為睡了的人是在夜間睡,醉了的人是在夜間醉。
For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night;
5:8但我們既是屬於白晝,就當謹慎自守,穿上信和愛的胸甲,並戴上救恩之望的頭盔。
But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation.
5:9因為神沒有派定我們受忿怒,乃是派定我們藉著我們的主耶穌基督得著救恩。
For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:10祂為我們死,好叫我們無論醒著或睡著,都可與祂同活。
Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him.
5:11所以你們要彼此安慰,互相建造,正如你們一向所行的。
Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do.
5:12弟兄們,我們還請求你們,要敬重那些在你們中間勞苦,並在主裏帶領你們,勸戒你們的人,
Furthermore we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who labor among you and take the lead among you in the Lord and admonish you,
5:13又因他們所作的工,在愛裏格外尊重他們;你們也要彼此和睦。
And to regard them most highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
5:14弟兄們,我們勸你們,要勸戒不守規矩的人,撫慰灰心的人,扶持軟弱的人,又要對眾人恒忍。
And we exhort you, brothers, Admonish the disorderly, console the fainthearted, sustain the weak, be long-suffering toward all.
5:15你們要當心,誰都不可以惡報惡,卻要在彼此相待,或對待眾人上,常常竭力追求良善。
See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always pursue what is good both for one another and for all.
5:16要常常喜樂,
Always rejoice,
5:17不住的禱告,
Unceasingly pray,
5:18凡事謝恩;因為這是神在基督耶穌裏對你們的旨意。
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
5:19不要銷滅那靈,
Do not quench the Spirit;
5:20不要藐視申言者的話,
Do not despise prophecies,
5:21但要凡事察驗,善美的要持守,
But prove all things. Hold fast to what is good;
5:22各種的惡事要遠離禁作。
Abstain from every kind of evil.
5:23且願和平的神,親自全然聖別你們,又願你們的靈、與魂、與身子得蒙保守,在我們主耶穌基督來臨的時候,得以完全,無可指摘。
And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5:24那召你們的是信實的,祂也必作成這事。
Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it.
5:25弟兄們,請為我們禱告。
Brothers, pray also for us.
5:26你們要用聖別的親嘴問眾弟兄安。
Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
5:27我指著主吩咐你們,要把這信念給眾弟兄聽。
I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.
5:28願我們主耶穌基督的恩與你們同在。
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
