< 2 Athesalonike 3 >
1 Naguo Ũhoro wa kũrigĩrĩria-rĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩ atĩrĩ, tũhooyagĩrei nĩgeetha ũhoro wa Mwathani ũtheereme na ihenya, na ũkumagio, o ta ũrĩa ũkumagio nĩ inyuĩ.
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you:
2 Na ningĩ mũhooyage nĩgeetha tũhonokio kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu o na ooru, tondũ ti andũ othe metĩkĩtie.
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.
3 No Mwathani nĩmwĩhokeku, na nĩekũmwĩkĩra hinya na amũgitĩre kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil.
4 Tũrĩ na mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wa Mwathani atĩ nĩmũreeka na nĩmũgũthiĩ na mbere gwĩka maũndũ marĩa twathanĩte.
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 Mwathani arotongoria ngoro cianyu nĩguo mũgĩe na wendani wa Ngai na ũkirĩrĩria wa Kristũ.
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩtũkũmwatha thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ, atĩ mũtigane na mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe witũ o wothe kĩgũũta, ũrĩa ũtaikaraga kũringana na ũrutani ũrĩa twamũrutire.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
7 Nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ ũrĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩgerekania na ithuĩ. Ithuĩ tũtiarĩ igũũta rĩrĩa twatũire na inyuĩ,
For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 o na tũtiigana kũrĩa irio cia mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũhũ. Handũ ha ũguo, twarutaga wĩra ũtukũ na mũthenya, tũkĩrutaga wĩra mũritũ na tũkenogagia nĩgeetha tũtigatuĩke mũrigo kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wanyu.
Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Twekaga ũguo, ti tondũ tũtiarĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũheo ũteithio ta ũcio, no nĩgeetha tũtuĩke kĩonereria kĩanyu gĩa kwĩgerekania nakĩo.
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
10 Nĩgũkorwo o na rĩrĩa twatũire hamwe na inyuĩ nĩtwamũheire watho ũyũ: “Mũndũ angĩaga kũruta wĩra, o na kũrĩa ndakarĩe.”
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 Nĩtũiguaga amwe thĩinĩ wanyu nĩ igũũta, na matirĩ wĩra marutaga, no nĩmetoonyagĩrĩria maũndũ-inĩ ma andũ arĩa angĩ.
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Andũ acio nĩo tũgwatha na tũkamaringĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ atĩ makindĩrie, na marĩĩage irio iria marutĩire wĩra.
Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 Naho ha ũhoro wanyu, inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, mũtikanoge nĩ gwĩkaga wega.
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩaga gwathĩkĩra ũrutani witũ ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa marũa maya-rĩ, mwĩhũgagei. Mũtikanagĩe ngwatanĩro nake, nĩgeetha aigue aconokete.
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 No mũtikamũtue taarĩ thũ, no mũkaaniei ta mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe wanyu.
Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
16 Na rĩu-rĩ, Mwathani mwene thayũ aromũhe thayũ mahinda mothe na ikĩro-inĩ ciothe. Mwathani aroikara na inyuĩ inyuothe.
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord [be] with you all.
17 Niĩ Paũlũ nĩ niĩ ndandĩka ngeithi ici na guoko gwakwa mwene, na kĩu nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia gĩa gũkũũrana marũa makwa mothe. Ũguo nĩguo nyandĩkaga.
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18 Wega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ ũrogĩa na inyuĩ inyuothe.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
