< 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].
Ataranyabv, ngonugv ajin vdwa, ngonugv lvgabv kumlaka, Ahtu gv doinv nonugv hoka rinam apiabv baapubv dusik kardubv okv nyi vdwv doin ha mvngdvla naarwksinam lvgabv.
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].
Okv ngonua Pwknvyarnv alvmanv nyi loka ringya dubv kumji talaka; ogulvgavbolo doin ha tvvnv nyi dvdv ngv mvngjwng dunv vnam kaama.
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).
Vbvritola Ahtu mvngtin dubv rinv ngv, okv nw nonua Alvmanv Angv loka ringyare okv mvngrw dubv mvre.
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].
Okv Ahtu ngonua jidu nonua mvngtin dubv, okv ngonu nonua ogugo mindudw um nonu ridungdo okv ribwngre vla ngonu nonua mvngtin dunv.
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]).
Ahtu nonua rigvdakgvla Pwknvyarnv gv paknam ha okv Kristo gv saktv jinam ha kaiyayabv chindubv jigv nyika.
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.
Ngonugv ajin vdwa, ngonu nonua Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv amin lokv mindunv nonuno vkvnv ajin vdwa adu silaka yvvbunudw sepelakrela okv ngonugv minam ha tvvla rimanv vdwa.
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.
Nonuno atubongv alvbv chinsudo ngonu ogugo ripvdw um nonu riming gvvrung svngv. Ngonu nonua lvkobv rirelo ngonu sepelakre matoku.
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].
Ngonu arv jimabv yvv gvka ridur ha anyubv naarwk simato. Vmabvya ngonu atubongv raaibv kudungkua nga gvlwkbv rise nga risuto; ogulvgavbolo ngonu nonua yvvnyika ngonugv lvgabv dormu nwngma mvngla kudungkua nga aluayu bv risuto.
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.
Ngonugv vbvrinamv ngonu nonua ridur go koonyu rinyu manamgo doola ripvnv vnam kaama; ngonugv vbvrinamv nonua kaagvla riming gvmu dubv vla ripvnv.
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.
Ngonugv nonua lvkobv doorilo, ngonu nonua vbv minkito, “Yvvdw kudungkua riji makv vdunv um dvnam dvmu yoka.”
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]!
Ngonu vbv minto ogulvgavbolo nonugv ara lo nyi mego sepelakrela oguguka rimabv dominla kvvbinyi vdwgv korvpachu riku lo mingominpin riala ridu vla ngonu tvvpado.
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).
Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv amin lokv ngonu so nyi vdwa dinda bv singla atubogv singdung lvgabv pwla paala relaka vla mindunv.
13 Fellow believers! Do not ever get tired of doing what is right!
Vbvritola ajin vdwa nonuno alvnv kudungkua rikulo agarapi rungyoka.
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.
Ngonugv nonua siti jinam so gv doin a akonv tvvmabv rinv ngv doi nvpv. Vbvrinv go dobolo, ninyia oguguka ribamdakbam yoka kaagapla kaapv laka, vkvlvgavbolo ninyia hinying modubv.
15 Do not think of him as though he was [your] enemy; instead, warn him as [you would warn your other] fellow believers.
Vbvritola ninyia nyirunv aingbv riyo miyoka; vmabvya ajinamin bv gamrw yalaka.
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.
Ahtu atubongv, ngonugv sarsopoyo gv lvtwngbv rinv, dw mvnwnglo okv lamtv mvnwnglo nonua sarsopoyo nga jigv nyika. Ahtu nonu mvnwngnga lvkobv dooming gvlaka.
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.
Ngo atubogv laak lo sum lvkdunv: Paul lokv kumrwknama jidunv, svbv ngo lvknam ha ngo svbv dvdvbv lvkdunv.
18 I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to act kindly to you all.
Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv aya ngv nonu mvnwnglo dooming gvlaka.
