You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着双臂躺卧片时，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着双臂躺卧片时，

再睡一会儿，打个盹儿，抱着手躺一会儿，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，

再睡一会儿，再打盹一会儿，再抱着双手躺一会儿，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着手躺臥片時，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着雙臂躺臥片時，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着雙臂躺臥片時，

再睡一會兒，打個盹兒，抱著手躺一會兒，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時，

『且睡片時，且打盹片時，且抱着手躺着片時』，

再睡一會兒，再打盹一會兒，再抱著雙手躺一會兒，

再寢片時、又睡片時、叉手偃臥片時、

人束手而寢、言欲少寐、俄頃即起、

爾若且寢片時、再寐片時、又叉手偃臥片時、

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,

“ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”

A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest;

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;

a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,

[ Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

“ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,

a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,

So let us not be like the others. They are asleep. Instead, let us be wide awake and in full control of ourselves.Those who sleep, sleep at night. Those who get drunk, get drunk at night.But we belong to the day. So let us control ourselves. Let us put on our chest the armor of faith and love. Let us put on the hope of salvation like a helmet.

Don’t let your eyes go to sleep. Don’t let your eyelids close.As a deer frees itself from a hunter, free yourself. As a bird frees itself from a trapper, free yourself.You people who don’t want to work, think about the ant! Consider its ways and be wise!It has no commander. It has no leader or ruler.But it stores up its food in summer. It gathers its food at harvest time.You lazy people, how long will you lie there? When will you get up from your sleep?You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.Then you would be poor, as if someone had robbed you. You would have little, as if someone had stolen from you.

When you do these things, keep in mind the times we are living in. The hour has already come for you to wake up from your sleep. The full effects of our salvation are closer now than when we first believed in Christ.

That is why it is said,“ Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you.”
