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].
Итак молитесь за нас, братия, чтобы слово Господне распространялось и прославлялось, как и у вас,
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].
и чтобы нам избавиться от беспорядочных и лукавых людей, ибо не во всех вера.
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).
Но верен Господь, Который утвердит вас и сохранит от лукавого.
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].
Мы уверены о вас в Господе, что вы исполняете и будете исполнять то, что мы вам повелеваем.
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]).
Господь же да управит сердца ваши в любовь Божию и в терпение Христово.
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.
Завещаваем же вам, братия, именем Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, удаляться от всякого брата, поступающего бесчинно, а не по преданию, которое приняли от нас,
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.
ибо вы сами знаете, как должны вы подражать нам; ибо мы не бесчинствовали у вас,
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].
ни у кого не ели хлеба даром, но занимались трудом и работою ночь и день, чтобы не обременить кого из вас,
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.
не потому, чтобы мы не имели власти, но чтобы себя самих дать вам в образец для подражания нам.
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.
Ибо когда мы были у вас, то завещевали вам сие: если кто не хочет трудиться, тот и не ешь.
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]!
Но слышим, что некоторые у вас поступают бесчинно, ничего не делают, а суетятся.
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).
Таковых увещеваем и убеждаем Господом нашим Иисусом Христом, чтобы они, работая в безмолвии, ели свой хлеб.
13 Fellow believers! Do not ever get tired of doing what is right!
Вы же, братия, не унывайте, делая добро.
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.
Если же кто не послушает слова нашего в сем послании, того имейте на замечании и не сообщайтесь с ним, чтобы устыдить его.
15 Do not think of him as though he was [your] enemy; instead, warn him as [you would warn your other] fellow believers.
Но не считайте его за врага, а вразумляйте, как брата.
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.
Сам же Господь мира да даст вам мир всегда во всем. Господь со всеми вами!
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.
Приветствие моею рукою, Павловою, что служит знаком во всяком послании; пишу я так:
18 I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to act kindly to you all.
благодать Господа нашего Иисуса Христа со всеми вами. Аминь.
