< 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, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also 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 evil people; for not all have faith.
3 No Mwathani nĩmwĩhokeku, na nĩekũmwĩkĩra hinya na amũgitĩre kuuma kũrĩ ũrĩa mũũru.
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
4 Tũrĩ na mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wa Mwathani atĩ nĩmũreeka na nĩmũgũthiĩ na mbere gwĩka maũndũ marĩa twathanĩte.
We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
5 Mwathani arotongoria ngoro cianyu nĩguo mũgĩe na wendani wa Ngai na ũkirĩrĩria wa Kristũ.
May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of 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, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who lives an undisciplined life, and not after the tradition which they received from us.
7 Nĩgũkorwo inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ ũrĩa mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwĩgerekania na ithuĩ. Ithuĩ tũtiarĩ igũũta rĩrĩa twatũire na inyuĩ,
For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not undisciplined 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 bread from anyone's hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden 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 do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate 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, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
11 Nĩtũiguaga amwe thĩinĩ wanyu nĩ igũũta, na matirĩ wĩra marutaga, no nĩmetoonyagĩrĩria maũndũ-inĩ ma andũ arĩa angĩ.
For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, who do not work 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 those who are that way, we command and exhort in the 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 you, brothers, do not be weary in doing well.
14 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩaga gwathĩkĩra ũrutani witũ ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa marũa maya-rĩ, mwĩhũgagei. Mũtikanagĩe ngwatanĩro nake, nĩgeetha aigue aconokete.
If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, note that person, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.
15 No mũtikamũtue taarĩ thũ, no mũkaaniei ta mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe wanyu.
Do not count him 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 may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. 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 greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.
18 Wega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ ũrogĩa na inyuĩ inyuothe.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
