< 2 Thessalonians 3 >

1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, asking that the Lord's Message may be spread rapidly and its glory be displayed, as it was displayed among you;
ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܪܗܛܐ ܘܡܫܬܒܚܐ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ
2 and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men; for it is not everybody who has faith.
ܘܕܢܬܦܨܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܥܢܬܐ ܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast and will guard you from the Evil one.
ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܗܘ ܢܢܛܪܟܘܢ ܘܢܫܘܙܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ
4 And we have confidence in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing, and will do, what we command.
ܬܟܝܠܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܥܒܕܝܬܘܢ
5 And may the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
ܘܡܪܢ ܢܬܪܘܨ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܡܤܒܪܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ
6 But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.
ܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܝܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܚܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܡܗܠܟ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܡܢܢ
7 For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܬܕܡܝܘ ܒܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܠܟܢ ܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ
8 nor did we eat any one's bread without paying for it, but we laboured and toiled, working hard night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.
ܐܦܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܡܓܢ ܐܟܠܢ ܡܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܥܡܠܐ ܘܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܩܪ
9 This was not because we had not a claim upon you, but it arose from a desire to set you an example--for you to imitate us.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܦܫܢ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܕܒܢ ܬܬܕܡܘܢ
10 For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you: "If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat."
ܐܦ ܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܕܐ ܡܦܩܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܦܠܘܚ ܐܦܠܐ ܢܠܥܤ
11 For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.
ܫܡܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ
12 To persons of that sort our injunction--and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ--is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.
ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܘܒܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܫܠܝܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܗܘܢ
13 But you, brethren, must not grow weary in the path of duty;
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ
14 and if any one refuses to obey these our written instructions, mark that man and hold no communication with him--so that he may be made to feel ashamed.
ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܡܥ ܠܡܠܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܓܪܬܐ ܢܬܦܪܫ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܬܚܠܛܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܕܢܒܗܬ
15 And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him as a brother.
ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܬܐܚܕܘܢܗ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܪܬܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܐ
16 And may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every sense. The Lord be with you all.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܗ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ
17 I Paul add the greeting with my own hand, which is the credential in every letter of mine.
ܫܠܡܐ ܒܟܬܒܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܟܬܒܬ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܬܐ ܕܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܓܪܬܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ
18 This is my handwriting. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ
