< 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;
Nʼikpeazụ, ụmụnna, na-ekperenụ anyị ekpere ka ozi Onyenwe anyị gaa nʼihu na-agbasa ruo ebe niile ma bụrụ ihe a na-asọpụrụ, dị ka ọ gbasara nʼetiti unu.
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil people; for not all have faith.
Ka e nwee ike napụta anyị nʼaka ndị ajọ mmadụ, nʼihi na ọ bụghị mmadụ niile nwere okwukwe.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
Ma Onyenwe anyị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ọ ga-echebe unu ma gbaakwa unu ume ka unu hapụ ịdaba nʼaka ajọ onye ahụ.
4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
Anyị nwere nchekwube nʼime Onyenwe anyị na unu na-eme ma ga-anọgidekwa na-eme ihe niile anyị nyere unu nʼiwu.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.
Ka Onyenwe anyị duzie obi unu ịghọta ịhụnanya Chineke ya na ụdị ntachiobi Kraịst nwere.
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.
Ụmụnna, nke a bụ iwu anyị na-enye unu site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst. Ka unu zere onye ọbụla kpọrọ onwe ya onye kwere ekwe nʼime unu na-ebi ndụ umengwụ na onye na-adịghị eso ozizi nke unu natara nʼaka anyị.
7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not undisciplined among you,
Nʼihi na unu maara nke ọma nʼime onwe unu na unu kwesiri ịgbaso omume anyị. O nweghị mgbe ọbụla unu hụrụ anyị ka anyị na-agagharị hapụ ọrụ anyị kwesiri ịrụ.
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;
O nweghị onye ọbụla anyị riri nri ya nke anyị na-ebughị ụzọ kwụọ ya ụgwọ. Kama anyị rụsịrị ọrụ ike, dọgbukwaa onwe anyị nʼọrụ ehihie na abalị, ka anyị ghara ịbụ ibu arọ nye onye ọbụla.
9 not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
Ọ bụghị na anyị enweghị ikike ịnara unu ihe oriri, kama ọ bụ ka anyị kuziere unu site nʼomume anyị ihe unu ga na-eṅomi.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
Ọ bụladị mgbe anyị na unu nọ, anyị nyere unu iwu a sị, “Onye ọbụla na-agaghị ọrụ ya erila nri.”
11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.
Ma anyị anụla na ụfọdụ nʼetiti unu na-anọ nkịtị na-arụghị ọrụ ọbụla, kama ndị dị otu a na-agagharị, na-etinye anya nʼihe na-agbasaghị ha. Ha anaghị arụ ọrụ ọbụla.
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.
Anyị na-enye ndị a iwu, na-adụsịkwa ha ọdụ ike site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, si ha wetuo obi ha ala rụsie ọrụ ha ike. Ka ha riekwa nri ha ji aka ha rụpụta.
13 But you, brothers, do not be weary in doing well.
Otu ọ dị ụmụnna, unu ekwela ka ike ịrụ ọrụ ọma gwụ unu.
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.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ndị ọbụla adịghị erube isi nye ihe anyị kwuru nʼime akwụkwọ ozi a, hụbanụ ndị dị otu a ama ma kwụsịkwa iso ha nwekọ ihe ọbụla, ka ihere mekwa ha.
15 Do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
Nʼagbanyeghị nke a, unu agụkwala ha dị ka ndị iro unu, kama nyenụ ha ndụmọdụ dị ka ụmụnna.
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
Ugbu a, ka Onyenwe anyị, onye udo na-esi nʼaka ya abịa tụkwasịrị unu udo ya mgbe niile, nʼime ọnọdụ ọbụla unu nọ nʼime ya. Onyenwe anyị nọnyekwara unu.
17 The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.
Mụ onwe m bụ Pọl ji aka m depụta ekele a, nke m na-ekele unu niile. Nke a bụ ihe e ji arịba akwụkwọ niile m dere ama. Otu a ka m si ede ihe.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere unu niile.
