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.
Farany, ry rahalahy, mivavaha ho anay, mba handehanan’ ny tenin’ ny Tompo faingana ka hankalazaina toy ny eo aminareo,
2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.
ary mba hovonjena ho afaka amin’ ny olona hafahafa sy ratsy fanahy izahay; fa tsy ary manana finoana avokoa ny olona rehetra.
3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
Fa mahatoky ny Tompo, Izay hampahery sy hiaro anareo tsy ho azon’ ny ratsy.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
Fa izahay matoky anareo ao amin’ ny Tompo, fa izay zavatra andidianay dia efa ataonareo sady mbola hataonareo ihany koa.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
Ary ny Tompo anie hanitsy lalana ny fonareo ho amin’ ny fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra sy ho amin’ ny faharetan’ i Kristy.
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.
Ary mandidy anareo izahay, ry rahalahy, amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, mba hialanareo amin’ ny rahalahy rehetra izay tsy mitoetra tsara ka tsy manaraka ny fampianarana natolotra izay noraisiny taminay.
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
Fa ny tenanareo mahalala izay tokony hianaranareo anay; fa nitoetra tsara teo aminareo izahay,
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.
ary tsy nihinana foana izay hanin’ olona, fa niasa andro aman’ alina tamin’ ny fikelezan’ aina sy ny fisasarana mba tsy hahavaky tratra na dia iray akory aminareo aza;
9 Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
tsy noho ny tsy anananay fahefana anefa, fa mba hatolotray aminareo ho fianaranareo ny tenanay.
10 For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
Fa fony mbola teo aminareo ihany aza izahay, dia nandidy anareo hoe: Raha misy tsy mety miasa, dia aoka tsy hihinana izy.
11 Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.
Fa renay fa misy ny sasany eo aminareo tsy mitoetra tsara, ka tsy miasa akory, fa mivezivezy foana miraharaha ny an’ olona.
12 We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
Ary izay manao toy izany no didianay sy anarinay ao amin’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompo mba hiasa tsara amin’ ny fiadanana ka hihinana izay azy ihany.
13 But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.
Fa ianareo, ry rahalahy, aza ketraka amin’ ny fanaovan-tsoa.
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.
Ary raha misy olona tsy manaiky ny teninay amin’ ity epistily ity, mariho izany olona izany, ka aza mikambana aminy, mba hahamenatra azy.
15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
Anefa aza dia atao fahavalo izy, fa anaro toy ny rahalahy.
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.
Ary ny Tompon’ ny fiadanana anie hanome anareo fiadanana mandrakariva amin’ ny zavatra rehetra. Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny Tompo.
17 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
Ity no veloma ataon’ ny tanako, izaho Paoly; izao no famantarana eo amin’ ny epistily rehetra; izao no soratro.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
