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

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—

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

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

Therefore he says,“ Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
