Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
1
And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,
2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
2
for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,
3 For when they are saying, "Shalom and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.
3
for 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;
4 But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
4
and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;
5 You are all sons of light, and sons of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,
5
all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,
6 so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober.
6
so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,
7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken are drunken in the night.
7
for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,
8 But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
8
and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation,
9 For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
9
because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
10
who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live;
11 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
11
wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.
12 But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,
12
And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,
13 and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at shalom among yourselves.
13
and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;
14 We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
14
and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;
15 See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, towards one another, and towards all.
15
see 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;
16 Rejoice always.
16
always rejoice ye;
17 Pray without ceasing.
17
continually pray ye;
18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua toward you.
18
in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.
19 Don't quench the Spirit.
19
The Spirit quench not;
20 Don't despise prophesies.
20
prophesyings despise not;
21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
21
all things prove; that which is good hold fast;
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
22
from all appearance of evil abstain ye;
23 May the God of shalom himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
23
and 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;
24 Faithful is he who calls you, who will also do it.
24
stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do [it].
25 Brothers, pray for us.
25
Brethren, pray for us;
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
26
salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;
27 I solemnly charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
27
I charge you [by] the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;
28 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you. Amein.
28
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you! Amen.
