昔偕爾時、即以此命爾云、不願操作者、則食之、

我昔在爾中命爾云、人不操作、勿予之食、

我在爾中之時、曾命爾云、人不願操作、則不得食、

故當時吾儕曾予爾以明訓曰：『不勞無食。』

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule:“ The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

Even when we were with you, we gave you a rule. We said,“ Anyone who won’t work shouldn’t be allowed to eat.”

For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

Even while we were with you, we gave you this command:“ Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”

In fact, when we were with you, this is what we commanded you:“ If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat.”

懶惰人不按時耕種，收穫時必一無所得。

懶惰人空有幻想，勤快人心想事成。

你們要立志過安分守己的生活，親手做工，正如我們以前吩咐你們的。

懶人的慾望害死自己，因為他的手不肯做工。

我走過懶惰人的田地和無知者的葡萄園，那裡荊棘遍地，刺草叢生，石牆倒塌。我仔細思想所見之事，領悟到一個教訓：再睡一會兒，打個盹兒，抱著手躺一會兒，貧窮必像強盜一樣臨到你，缺乏必像武士一樣撲向你。

我把這些事提前告訴你們，是要叫你們到時候可以想起我曾跟你們講過這些事。我以前沒有告訴你們，那是因為我還跟你們在一起。

我們在你們那裡時曾預先告訴過你們，我們會遭遇患難，你們知道後來果然如此。
