2 Thessalonians 3
1 Lastly, brothers and sisters, please pray for us, so that the Lord's message may spread and be truly appreciated, just as it is by you—
he bhrātaraḥ, śeṣe vadāmi, yūyam asmabhyamidaṁ prārthayadhvaṁ yat prabho rvākyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhye yathā tathaivānyatrāpi pracaret mānyañca bhavet;
2 and that we may be kept safe from immoral and evil men, because not everyone trusts in God.
yacca vayam avivecakebhyo duṣṭebhyaśca lokebhyo rakṣāṁ prāpnuyāma yataḥ sarvveṣāṁ viśvāso na bhavati|
3 But the Lord is trustworthy and will strengthen you, and protect you from the evil one.
kintu prabhu rviśvāsyaḥ sa eva yuṣmān sthirīkariṣyati duṣṭasya karād uddhariṣyati ca|
4 We have great confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we told you.
yūyam asmābhi ryad ādiśyadhve tat kurutha kariṣyatha ceti viśvāso yuṣmānadhi prabhunāsmākaṁ jāyate|
5 May the Lord lead you into a deeper understanding of God's love for you and the endurance of Christ.
īśvarasya premni khrīṣṭasya sahiṣṇutāyāñca prabhuḥ svayaṁ yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇāni vinayatu|
6 Now we want to tell you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, not to associate with any believer who can't be bothered to work for their living—those who don't follow the teachings they learned from us.
he bhrātaraḥ, asmatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā vayaṁ yuṣmān idam ādiśāmaḥ, asmatto yuṣmābhi ryā śikṣalambhi tāṁ vihāya kaścid bhrātā yadyavihitācāraṁ karoti tarhi yūyaṁ tasmāt pṛthag bhavata|
7 You certainly know that you should follow our example, because while we were with you we weren't lazy,
yato vayaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ katham anukarttavyāstad yūyaṁ svayaṁ jānītha| yuṣmākaṁ madhye vayam avihitācāriṇo nābhavāma,
8 —we didn't eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead we worked hard day and night so we wouldn't be a burden to any of you.
vināmūlyaṁ kasyāpyannaṁ nābhuṁjmahi kintu ko'pi yad asmābhi rbhāragrasto na bhavet tadarthaṁ śrameṇa kleśena ca divāniśaṁ kāryyam akurmma|
9 Not that we don't have the right to do so—but we wanted to be an example to you, so that you could copy what we did.
atrāsmākam adhikāro nāstītthaṁ nahi kintvasmākam anukaraṇāya yuṣmān dṛṣṭāntaṁ darśayitum icchantastad akurmma|
10 Even while we were with you we gave strict instructions that anybody who didn't want to work shouldn't eat.
yato yena kāryyaṁ na kriyate tenāhāro'pi na kriyatāmiti vayaṁ yuṣmatsamīpa upasthitikāle'pi yuṣmān ādiśāma|
11 But now we hear that there are some lazy busybodies among you who don't work at all.
yuṣmanmadhye 'vihitācāriṇaḥ ke'pi janā vidyante te ca kāryyam akurvvanta ālasyam ācarantītyasmābhiḥ śrūyate|
12 We're ordering such people, urging them in the Lord Jesus, to settle down and work to pay for their own food.
tādṛśān lokān asmataprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā vayam idam ādiśāma ājñāpayāmaśca, te śāntabhāvena kāryyaṁ kurvvantaḥ svakīyamannaṁ bhuñjatāṁ|
13 Brothers and sisters, don't give up doing good.
aparaṁ he bhrātaraḥ, yūyaṁ sadācaraṇe na klāmyata|
14 Take note of anyone who doesn't do what we're telling you in this letter, and make sure you don't associate with them, so that they may become embarrassed.
yadi ca kaścidetatpatre likhitām asmākam ājñāṁ na gṛhlāti tarhi yūyaṁ taṁ mānuṣaṁ lakṣayata tasya saṁsargaṁ tyajata ca tena sa trapiṣyate|
15 Don't consider them enemies, but warn them as a brother or sister.
kintu taṁ na śatruṁ manyamānā bhrātaramiva cetayata|
16 May the Lord of peace himself grant you peace in every situation in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
śāntidātā prabhuḥ sarvvatra sarvvathā yuṣmabhyaṁ śāntiṁ deyāt| prabhu ryuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ saṅgī bhūyāt|
17 Notice the greeting to you from me, Paul, in my own handwriting. This is my signature on every letter I write.
namaskāra eṣa paulasya mama kareṇa likhito'bhūt sarvvasmin patra etanmama cihnam etādṛśairakṣarai rmayā likhyate|
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugrahaḥ sarvveṣu yuṣmāsu bhūyāt| āmen|
