There is an explanation in the draft textbook, lesson 10.8

http://www.animal.helsinki.fi/lojftp/draft-textbook/lesson10

Briefly, you write the time in the 24-hours format 'hours:minutes',
for instance 9:38 PM = 21:38,
and translate into lojban using {pi'e} for the semicolon

The time is 9:38 PM = li repa pi'ecibi cu tcika

Similarly, the format for the date is

'day-of-week:week:day:month:year' (number of the week is usually omitted),
for instance, Tuesday, June 8th, 1999 = 3::8:6:1999

The date is Tuesday, June 8th, 1999 =
li ci pi'epi'e bi pi'exa pi'epasososo cu detri
