惟我兄弟。既不處黑暗之中、屆時當不致襲爾如不速之客。

弟兄们，你们却不在黑暗里，叫那日子临到你们像贼一样。

弟兄们，你们并不在黑暗里，那日子不会像贼一样临到你们。

弟兄们，你们并不在黑暗里，那日子不会像贼一样临到你们。

然而，弟兄姊妹，你们不是活在黑暗里，因此那日子不会像贼一样突然临到你们。

但是弟兄们，你们不在黑暗里，以致那日子会临到你们像贼来到一样。

不过弟兄们，你们不是在黑暗里，以致那日子像贼一样抓住你们。

弟兄們，你們卻不在黑暗裏，叫那日子臨到你們像賊一樣。

弟兄們，你們並不在黑暗裏，那日子不會像賊一樣臨到你們。

弟兄們，你們並不在黑暗裏，那日子不會像賊一樣臨到你們。

然而，弟兄姊妹，你們不是活在黑暗裡，因此那日子不會像賊一樣突然臨到你們。

但是弟兄們，你們不在黑暗裡，以致那日子會臨到你們像賊來到一樣。

但你們呢、弟兄們，你們並不是在黑暗裏、以致那日子像個賊突襲了你們一樣。

不過弟兄們，你們不是在黑暗裡，以致那日子像賊一樣抓住你們。

兄弟乎、爾非在暗中、致是日如盜襲爾、

然則兄弟不處幽暗、彼日豈猶盜襲爾乎、

但兄弟非在幽暗、故其日不能如盜臨爾、

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

Brothers and sisters, you are not in darkness. So that day should not surprise you as a thief would.

But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.

But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief.

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark, for this day to surprise you like a thief.

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, so that the day would overtake you like a thief;

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

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

But you, brothers, are not in the dark, for this day to overtake you like a thief.

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

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the darkness for the day to overtake you like a thief would.

But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

雖然、主日之臨、必突如其來、有若不速之客焉。當時諸天訇然而逝、物質之元素、溶解於烈火之中。大地及所載之萬彙、悉皆焚化。

拔吾人於暗冥之域、而躋吾人於其愛子之國。

且吾人亦不可昧於時義、須知今茲已為醒於睡夢之時。何則、吾人蒙救之日、已較初信之時、日近一日矣。夜如何其、夜將闌！而曙將至矣！吾人尚可不去曖昧之行、被光明之甲、以期優遊於光天化日之下乎？醉生夢死、沉湎酒色、嫉妒鬥狠、皆非所宜。

應回憶所受所聞之教義拳拳服膺、而痛悔前失。如再不醒寤、吾必襲爾、猶不速之客突如其來、爾固無從逆知其時刻也。

而爾等則為蒙選之族、赫赫司祭、雍雍神國實天主之眷屬也。天主既召爾等出於黑暗入於靈光、爾等可不表彰大德乎。爾等昔日不成民族、今乃成為天主之民矣；昔日未蒙矜憐、今則已蒙矜憐矣。

欲汝啟眾民萬邦之目、使自黑暗轉向光明、脫沙殫之掌握而歸依天主、俾以信予之故、而獲罪赦、與一切因信成聖者同嗣洪基。」
