٢ تسالونيكي 3

١ 1 أَخِيرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ صَلُّوا لِأَجْلِنَا، لِكَيْ تَجْرِيَ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَتَتَمَجَّدَ، كَمَا عِنْدَكُمْ أَيْضًا،

Finally, brethren, pray for us, asking that the Lord's Message may be spread rapidly and its glory be displayed, as it was displayed among you;

٢ 2 وَلِكَيْ نُنْقَذَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلْأَرْدِيَاءِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِيمَانَ لَيْسَ لِلْجَمِيعِ.

and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men; for it is not everybody who has faith.

٣ 3 أَمِينٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي سَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ وَيَحْفَظُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ.

But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast and will guard you from the Evil one.

٤ 4 وَنَثِقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ مَا نُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ وَسَتَفْعَلُونَ أَيْضًا.

And we have confidence in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing, and will do, what we command.

٥ 5 وَٱلرَّبُّ يَهْدِي قُلُوبَكُمْ إِلَى مَحَبَّةِ ٱللهِ، وَإِلَى صَبْرِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

And may the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

٦ 6 ثُمَّ نُوصِيكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، بِٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَنْ تَتَجَنَّبُوا كُلَّ أَخٍ يَسْلُكُ بِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ، وَلَيْسَ حَسَبَ ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ ٱلَّذِي أَخَذَهُ مِنَّا.

But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.

٧ 7 إِذْ أَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ كَيْفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُتَمَثَّلَ بِنَا، لِأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَسْلُكْ بِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ بَيْنَكُمْ،

For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

٨ 8 وَلَا أَكَلْنَا خُبْزًا مَجَّانًا مِنْ أَحَدٍ، بَلْ كُنَّا نَشْتَغِلُ بِتَعَبٍ وَكَدٍّ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا، لِكَيْ لَا نُثَقِّلَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ.

nor did we eat any one's bread without paying for it, but we laboured and toiled, working hard night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.

٩ 9 لَيْسَ أَنْ لَا سُلْطَانَ لَنَا، بَلْ لِكَيْ نُعْطِيَكُمْ أَنْفُسَنَا قُدْوَةً حَتَّى تَتَمَثَّلُوا بِنَا.

This was not because we had not a claim upon you, but it arose from a desire to set you an example--for you to imitate us.

١٠ 10 فَإِنَّنَا أَيْضًا حِينَ كُنَّا عِنْدَكُمْ، أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ بِهَذَا: «أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشْتَغِلَ فَلَا يَأْكُلْ أَيْضًا».

For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you: "If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat."

١١ 11 لِأَنَّنَا نَسْمَعُ أَنَّ قَوْمًا يَسْلُكُونَ بَيْنَكُمْ بِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ، لَا يَشْتَغِلُونَ شَيْئًا بَلْ هُمْ فُضُولِيُّونَ.

For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.

١٢ 12 فَمِثْلُ هَؤُلَاءِ نُوصِيهِمْ وَنَعِظُهُمْ بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَنْ يَشْتَغِلُوا بِهُدُوءٍ، وَيَأْكُلُوا خُبْزَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

To persons of that sort our injunction--and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ--is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَلَا تَفْشَلُوا فِي عَمَلِ ٱلْخَيْرِ.

But you, brethren, must not grow weary in the path of duty;

١٤ 14 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُطِيعُ كَلَامَنَا بِٱلرِّسَالَةِ، فَسِمُوا هَذَا وَلَا تُخَالِطُوهُ لِكَيْ يَخْجَلَ،

and if any one refuses to obey these our written instructions, mark that man and hold no communication with him--so that he may be made to feel ashamed.

١٥ 15 وَلَكِنْ لَا تَحْسِبُوهُ كَعَدُوٍّ، بَلْ أَنْذِرُوهُ كَأَخٍ.

And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him as a brother.

١٦ 16 وَرَبُّ ٱلسَّلَامِ نَفْسُهُ يُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلسَّلَامَ دَائِمًا مِنْ كُلِّ وَجْهٍ. ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ.

And may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every sense. The Lord be with you all.

١٧ 17 اَلسَّلَامُ بِيَدِي أَنَا بُولُسَ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ عَلَامَةٌ فِي كُلِّ رِسَالَةٍ. هَكَذَا أَنَا أَكْتُبُ.

I Paul add the greeting with my own hand, which is the credential in every letter of mine.

١٨ 18 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.

This is my handwriting. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
