2 Thessalonians 3
1 As for the other matters, [our] fellow believers, pray for us that more and more [people will] hear [PRS] our message [about our] Lord [Jesus]. Pray that they will believe this message, as you [have done].
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 Pray also for us that we will be rescued {that God will rescue us} from those very perverse/evil people [here] who [cause us to suffer. Pray like that] because [they and many others] refuse to believe [LIT] [this message].
Ka e nwee ike napụta anyị nʼaka ndị ajọ mmadụ, nʼihi na ọ bụghị mmadụ niile nwere okwukwe.
3 [Remember that our] Lord [Jesus] is trustworthy! [So we are sure that] he will cause you to continue to be steadfast. [We are also sure that] he will protect you from [Satan], the evil one (OR, from evil).
Ma Onyenwe anyị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ọ ga-echebe unu ma gbaakwa unu ume ka unu hapụ ịdaba nʼaka ajọ onye ahụ.
4 [Because of your close relationship with our] Lord [Jesus], we are confident that you are obeying what we have commanded you, and we are confident that you will obey what we are commanding [you in this letter].
Anyị nwere nchekwube nʼime Onyenwe anyị na unu na-eme ma ga-anọgidekwa na-eme ihe niile anyị nyere unu nʼiwu.
5 [We pray that our] Lord [Jesus] would enable you to continue [knowing] that God loves you. [We pray] also that Christ will cause you to continue [being] steadfast (OR, being steadfast as he [was steadfast]).
Ka Onyenwe anyị duzie obi unu ịghọta ịhụnanya Chineke ya na ụdị ntachiobi Kraịst nwere.
6 [Our] fellow believers, we command you, with the authority [MTY] that our Lord Jesus Christ [has given to us], that you stop associating with every fellow believer who is lazy and refuses to work. That is, you must stay away from those who are not [conducting their lives] in the manner that we taught you.
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 [We tell you this] because you yourselves know that you should [behave] like we [behaved]. We (did not just sit [around] without working/were never lazy) [while we were living] 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 Specifically, we did not eat anyone’s food if we did not pay [that person] for it. Instead, we worked very hard ([to support ourselves/to earn the money to buy what we needed]). We worked hard [DOU] during the day and during the night, in order that we would not have to depend on any of you [to supply what we needed].
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 We have always had the right [to depend on you for money, but instead we worked hard in order to make ourselves] examples for you, in order that you should behave like we behave.
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 Remember that when we were [there] with you, we kept commanding you that if any [fellow believer] refuses to work, [you should not give] him food to eat.
Ọ bụladị mgbe anyị na unu nọ, anyị nyere unu iwu a sị, “Onye ọbụla na-agaghị ọrụ ya erila nri.”
11 [We are commanding the same thing] again now, because someone has told us that some of you are lazy and not working at all, just interfering [with what other people are doing]!
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 We command those fellow believers who are not working, and urge [them] by the authority [MTY] of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they settle down and (support themselves by working/work to earn money to buy what they need).
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 Fellow believers! Do not ever get tired of doing what is right!
Otu ọ dị ụmụnna, unu ekwela ka ike ịrụ ọrụ ọma gwụ unu.
14 If any [fellow believer refuses to work] and does not obey what I have written in this letter, ([publicly] identify that person/tell the congregation what that person is doing). Then do not associate with him, in order that he may become 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 think of him as though he was [your] enemy; instead, warn him as [you would warn your other] fellow believers.
Nʼagbanyeghị nke a, unu agụkwala ha dị ka ndị iro unu, kama nyenụ ha ndụmọdụ dị ka ụmụnna.
16 [I pray that our] Lord [Jesus] himself, who [gives inner] peace [to his people], will give [inner] peace to you always (and in every situation/whatever happens). 2 Thessalonians 3:16b-18 I [pray that our] Lord [Jesus will continue to] help 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 Now, having taken the pen from my scribe, I, Paul, am sending this greeting to you as I write this myself [SYN]. I do this in all my letters in order that you may know that it is truly I who have sent this letter. This is how I always end my letters.
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 I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to act kindly to you all.
Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere unu niile.
