REKI'O PABICIMO'O

O ye who believe!
DOI SE LACRI
('faithful' rather than KRICI 'believers')

Fasting is prescribed for you
.i DO BILGA LEDU'U CE'U BRODA CEI DI'IZE'A RIVBI LENU CITKA
(still not entirely sure about RIVBI)

even as it was prescibed for those before you
.I BRODA BILGA DZENA
(after rejecting ...MU'U LENU LE DO DZENA PU BRODA BILGA)
(DZENA not PURCE)

that ye may ward off (evil).
.I TCATI .I SE JALGE LENU BANDU FI LO PALCI

2:184
.I REKI'O PABIVOMO'O

(Fast) a certain number of days
KO BRODA JI'E SO'O DJEDI .I (SO'O 'several' is maybe not the best--)

and (for) him who is sick among you or on a journey, (the same) number of other days
DA'I BILMA JA LITRU JI'E LE DUNLI JE DRATA DJEDI

and for those who can afford it there is a ransom--the feeding of a man in need--
.I JI'A LENU BRODA FA LE RICFU KA'E SE BASTI LENU CE'U DUNDA LE CIDJA PA PINDI JI'E ZU'I

but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him:
.I KU'I ZUKTE LE XAMGU ZI'O KUKU .I'ECAI

and that ye fast is better for you [,] if ye did but know.
.I LE BRODA TCACI CA'A BANZU .EINAI SEKI'UNAI LEDU'U DO'O NA DJUNO

LI'O .I REKI'O PABIXAMO'O
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh.
.IJECALENU PRETI MI LEMI FUZME KEIKU MI BA'E JIBNI

LI'O .I REKI'O PABIZEMO'O LI'O

...eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn.
.I .E'A DO CITKA JE PINXE JI'E LE MOKCA POI LO BLABI CILTA LO XEKRI CILTA NA SIMSA LE SKARI BEFOKE'A KU'O VI LE CERNI
