2 Thessalonians 3
1 Now, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may rush and be glorified, as it also is with you.
ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
2 Pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not all have faith.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲧⲣ̅ⲧⲱⲣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ. ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ·
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ·
4 We have confidence in the Lord about you, that you both do and will continue to do the things that we command.
ⲇ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.
ⲉ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ (ⲛ̅)ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you avoid every brother who lives a lazy life and does not live according to the traditions you received from us.
ⲋ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲥⲁϩⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲁⲧⲁⲕⲧⲱⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅.
7 For you yourselves know it is proper for you to imitate us. We did not live among you as those who had no discipline.
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲁⲕⲧⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
8 We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, we worked night and day in difficult labor and hardship, so we might not be a burden to any of you.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲛϫⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛϩⲣⲟϣ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅.
9 We did this not because we have no authority. Instead, we did this in order to be an example to you, so that you may imitate us.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲁⲁⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
10 When we were with you, we commanded you, “The one who is unwilling to work must not eat.”
ⲓ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ϥⲟⲩⲉϣⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ.
11 For we hear that some walk idly among you. They do not work but are instead meddlers.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲧⲁⲕⲧⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲧⲱϩ.
12 Now such ones we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they should work with quietness and eat their own food.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥϭⲣⲁϩⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ.
13 But you, brothers, do not become tired of doing what is right.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ.
14 If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take note of him and have no association with him, so that he may be ashamed.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲱϩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲓⲡⲉ
15 Do not consider him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲟⲡϥ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ϫⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲛ.
16 May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. May the Lord be with you all.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
17 This is my greeting, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write.

18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
