¹

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you.

¹

(Заⷱ҇ ©о҃а҃.) А҆ ѡ҆ лѣ́тѣхъ и҆ ѡ҆ временѣ́хъ, бра́тїе, не тре́бѣ є҆́сть ва́мъ писа́ти,

²

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

²

са́ми бо вы̀ и҆звѣ́стнѡ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ де́нь гдⷭ҇ень, ꙗ҆́коже та́ть въ нощѝ, та́кѡ прїи́детъ.

³

For when they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

³

Є҆гда́ бо рекꙋ́тъ: ми́ръ и҆ оу҆твержде́нїе, тогда̀ внеза́пꙋ нападе́тъ на ни́хъ всегꙋби́телство, ꙗ҆́коже болѣ́знь во чре́вѣ и҆мꙋ́щей, и҆ не и҆́мꙋтъ и҆збѣжа́ти.

⁴

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

⁴

Вы́ же, бра́тїе, нѣ́сте во тмѣ̀, да де́нь ва́съ ꙗ҆́коже та́ть пости́гнетъ:

⁵

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

⁵

вси́ бо вы̀ сы́нове свѣ́та є҆стѐ: и҆ сы́нове днѐ: нѣ́смы но́щи, нижѐ тмы̀.

⁶

so then let us not sleep, as do the rest also, but let us watch and be sober.

⁶

Тѣ́мже оу҆̀бо да не спи́мъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ про́чїи, но да бо́дрствꙋимъ и҆ трезви́мсѧ.

⁷

For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

⁷

Спѧ́щїи бо, въ нощѝ спѧ́тъ, и҆ оу҆пива́ющїисѧ въ нощѝ оу҆пива́ютсѧ.

⁸

But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁸

Мы́ же, сы́нове сꙋ́ще днѐ, да трезви́мсѧ, ѡ҆болкше́сѧ въ броню̀ вѣ́ры и҆ любвѐ и҆ шле́мъ оу҆пова́нїѧ спⷭ҇нїѧ,

⁹

For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁹

(Заⷱ҇ ©о҃в҃.) ꙗ҆́кѡ не положѝ на́съ бг҃ъ въ гнѣ́въ, но въ полꙋче́нїе спⷭ҇нїѧ гдⷭ҇емъ на́шимъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ,

¹⁰

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

¹⁰

оу҆ме́ршимъ за на́съ, да, а҆́ще бди́мъ, а҆́ще ли спи́мъ, кꙋ́пнѡ съ ни́мъ живе́мъ.

¹¹

Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.

¹¹

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди оу҆тѣша́йте дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, и҆ созида́йте кі́йждо бли́жнѧго, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ творитѐ.

¹²

But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

¹²

(Заⷱ҇ ©о҃г҃.) Мо́лимъ же вы̀, бра́тїе, зна́йте трꙋжда́ющихсѧ оу҆ ва́съ, и҆ настоѧ́телей ва́шихъ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, и҆ наказꙋ́ющихъ вы̀,

¹³

and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

¹³

и҆ и҆мѣ́йте и҆̀хъ по преизли́ха въ любвѝ за дѣ́ло и҆́хъ: ми́рствꙋйте въ себѣ̀.

¹⁴

And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be long-suffering toward all.

¹⁴

Мо́лимъ же вы̀, бра́тїе, вразꙋмлѧ́йте безчи̑нныѧ, оу҆тѣша́йте малодꙋ̑шныѧ, застꙋпа́йте немощны́ѧ, долготерпи́те ко всѣ̑мъ.

¹⁵

See that none render unto anyone evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, both toward one another and toward all.

¹⁵

Блюди́те, да никто́же ѕла̀ за ѕло̀ комꙋ̀ возда́стъ: но всегда̀ до́брое гони́те и҆ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ и҆ ко всѣ̑мъ.

¹⁶

Rejoice always;

¹⁶

Всегда̀ ра́дꙋйтесѧ.

¹⁷

pray without ceasing;

¹⁷

Непреста́ннѡ моли́тесѧ.

¹⁸

in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.

¹⁸

Ѡ҆ все́мъ благодари́те: сїѧ́ бо є҆́сть во́лѧ бж҃їѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ въ ва́съ.

¹⁹

Quench not the Spirit;

¹⁹

Дх҃а не оу҆гаша́йте.

²⁰

despise not prophesyings;

²⁰

Прⷪ҇ро́чєствїѧ не оу҆ничижа́йте.

²¹

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

²¹

Всѧ̑ же и҆скꙋша́юще, дѡ́браѧ держи́те.

²²

abstain from every form of evil.

²²

Ѿ всѧ́кїѧ ве́щи ѕлы́ѧ [ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ви́да ѕла́гѡ] ѡ҆греба́йтесѧ.

²³

And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²³

Са́мъ же бг҃ъ ми́ра да ѡ҆ст҃и́тъ ва́съ всесоверше́нныхъ во все́мъ: и҆ всесоверше́нъ ва́шъ дꙋ́хъ и҆ дꙋша̀ и҆ тѣ́ло непоро́чно въ прише́ствїе гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ да сохрани́тсѧ.

²⁴

Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.

²⁴

Вѣ́ренъ призва́вый ва́съ, и҆́же и҆ сотвори́тъ.

²⁵

Brethren, pray for us.

²⁵

Бра́тїе, моли́тесѧ ѡ҆ на́съ.

²⁶

Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.

²⁶

Цѣлꙋ́йте бра́тїю всю̀ лобза́нїемъ ст҃ы́мъ.

²⁷

I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

²⁷

Заклина́ю вы̀ гдⷭ҇емъ, прочестѝ посла́нїе сїѐ пред̾ все́ю ст҃о́ю бра́тїею.

²⁸

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

²⁸

Блгⷣть гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ съ ва́ми. А҆ми́нь.
