# Let your long clothing be tucked in at your belt

Alternate translation: "Tuck your clothing into your belt so you are ready to serve" or "Be dressed and ready to serve" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# let your lamps be kept burning
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "keep your lamps burning" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
