2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;
Pou fini, frè m' yo, lapriyè pou mwen pou pawòl Seyè a ka kontinye gaye toupatou byen vit, pou li resevwa lwanj tankou sa te fèt pami nou.
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil people; for not all have faith.
Lapriyè tou pou Bondye ka delivre m' anba move moun yo, mechan sa yo. Paske, se pa tout moun ki asepte kwè.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
Men, Bondye ap toujou kenbe pawòl li. L'ap ban nou fòs, la pwoteje nou anba Satan.
4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
Seyè a fè m' gen konfyans nan nou: li ban m' lasirans n'ap fè sa m' te mande nou fè a, epi n'ap toujou kontinye fè l' tou.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.
Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' dirije kè nou pou nou ka renmen Bondye, pou nou ka gen pasyans tankou Kris la.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who lives an undisciplined life, and not after the tradition which they received from us.
Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou nan non Jezikri, Seyè a: Pran distans nou ak tout frè k'ap fè parese, ki p'ap konfòme yo ak sa m' te moutre nou.
7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not undisciplined among you,
Nou menm, nou konnen sa pou nou fè pou nou ka swiv egzanp mwen ban nou. Mwen pa t' fè parese lè m' te nan mitan nou.
8 neither did we eat bread from anyone's hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you;
Mwen pa t' kite pesonn ban m' manje pou gremesi. Okontrè, mwen te travay di, mwen te fatige kò mwen anpil, lajounen kou lannwit, pou m' pa t' sou kont nou yonn.
9 not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
Se pa paske mwen pa t' gen dwa resevwa anyen nan men pesonn ki fè m' te fè sa. Non. Se paske mwen te vle ban nou yon egzanp pou nou te swiv.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
Nou chonje lè m' te lakay nou, mwen te di nou: moun ki pa travay pa gen dwa manje non plis.
11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.
M'ap pale konsa ak nou paske m' pran nouvèl gen kèk moun nan mitan nou k'ap fè parese, ki pa vle fè lòt bagay pase foure bouch yo nan zafè lòt moun.
12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
Men sa m'ap voye di moun sa yo: Nan non Jezikri, Seyè a, m'ap mande nou pou nou travay nan lòd, pou nou manje swe kouraj nou.
13 But you, brothers, do not be weary in doing well.
Pou nou menm, frè m' yo, pa janm bouke fè sa ki byen.
14 If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, note that person, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.
Si yon moun pa swiv lòd mwen bay nan lèt sa a, make li. Piga pesonn gen okenn rapò avè l', pou l' sa wont.
15 Do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
Men, se pa poutèt sa pou nou fè lènmi avè li. Okontrè, pale avè l' tankou yon frè.
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
Mwen mande Seyè a ki konn bay kè poze, pou li fè kè nou poze tout tan, tout jan, pou li toujou la avèk nou tout.
17 The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.
Se mwen menm Pòl k'ap ekri mo sa yo: mwen voye bonjou pou nou tout. Se konsa mwen siyen tout lèt mwen yo, se konsa mwen toujou ekri.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Se pou benediksyon Jezikri, Seyè nou an, toujou la avèk nou tout.
