Latin text · Lake, LCL 25:296

haec omnia, quae supra scripta sunt, ego pastor nuntius paenitentiae ostendi et locutus sum dei servis. si credideritis ergo et audieritis verba mea et ambulaveritis in his et correxeritis itinera vestra, vivere poteritis. sin autem permanseritis in malitia et memoria offensarum, nullus ex huiusmodi vivet deo. haec omnia a me dicenda dicta sunt vobis

English · Claude translation

All these things written above I, the shepherd, the messenger of repentance, have shown and spoken to God's servants. If, then, you believe and hear my words and walk in them and correct your ways, you will be able to live. But if you remain in malice and in remembering offenses, none of such people will live to God. All these things that I had to say have been said to you.
