2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.
Lyinu lya hanu, mu tu lapere, kuti lyizwi lya Mulimu li wole ku hwela niku ku tembwa, mu kwi kalile feela ni kweenu.
2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.
Mu lapele kuti kulukulula ku vuvi ni vatu vavi kakuti kena vatu vose veena i tumelo.
3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
Kono mulimu, yese na mu koza ni kuku vavalela kuyo fosahele.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
Twina i sepo kwa mulimu chako, kuti mu vose mu pange ni ku zwila ku panga zintu zini mi laela.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
A Ireeza a yendesa inkulo zenu kwi lato lya mulimu ne ku ku kolera Kelesite.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.
Lyahanu tu mi laela, bana nswisu mwi zina lya mulimu Jeeso Kilisite, kuti mu siye mwana nswisu yo wi kala kere feela ne ku sa yendelela ne chizo chimu wana kwetu.
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
Kakuli inwe muvene mwizi kuti kumu shiyamele kutu ziyanisa. Kana tuva hali mukati kenu uvu ba sena mulao
8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
Mi kena tuva lyi zilyo za muntu ni tusa nzi lihile. Kwanda, tu vaseveze masiku ni musihali misevezi mikukutu mu manyando, kuti sanzi tuvi ni muziyo kwenu muvonse.
9 Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
Tuva ku panga inzi isiñi kuti katwina mulao. Kwanda, tuva pangi izi kuti tuve mutala kwenu, kuti tu mi ziyanise.
10 For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
Hatu vena ni nanwe, tuva mi laeli, “heva umwi kasuni kuseveza, asazi alyi.”
11 Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.
Kakuti tu zuwile kuti vamwi va yenda feela mukati kenu. Kava sevezi kono bali chochomeza.
12 We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
Lyinu vavo tuva laela niku va kooza cho kuwamba mwi zina lya Jeeso Kilisite, kuti va sebeze niva tontwele mi valye zilyo zavo.
13 But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.
Kono unwe, vaana nswisu, sazi mu mani i nkulo muku panga vulotu.
14 Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.
Heva kwina yasa kuteki ciwambo mwelyi i ñolo, mu mu tokomele mi sanzi mu vi ni chilikani naye kuti a swave.
15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
Sanzi mumu hindi kuti chira chenu, kono mumu kalimele uvu mwana nswisu.
16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
Mulimu ireeza we kozo iye mwine a mihe i kozo i nako yose, mwi nzila zonse.
17 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
Mulimu a ve ninwe mwese. U ku nje ku rumeresa kwangu, Paulusi, che yaza lyangu, nje chi supo cangu mwi ñolo lyimwe ne lyimwe. Bo buti muni mu ñolela.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
Chi shemo nca mulimu Jeeso Kilisite chi ve nanwe mu vose.
