2 Tesalonik 3
1 Pou fini, frè m' yo, lapriyè pou mwen pou pawòl Seyè a ka kontinye gaye toupatou byen vit, pou li resevwa lwanj tankou sa te fèt pami nou.
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;
2 Lapriyè tou pou Bondye ka delivre m' anba move moun yo, mechan sa yo. Paske, se pa tout moun ki asepte kwè.
and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil people; for not all have faith.
3 Men, Bondye ap toujou kenbe pawòl li. L'ap ban nou fòs, la pwoteje nou anba Satan.
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
4 Seyè a fè m' gen konfyans nan nou: li ban m' lasirans n'ap fè sa m' te mande nou fè a, epi n'ap toujou kontinye fè l' tou.
We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
5 Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' dirije kè nou pou nou ka renmen Bondye, pou nou ka gen pasyans tankou Kris la.
May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.
6 Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou nan non Jezikri, Seyè a: Pran distans nou ak tout frè k'ap fè parese, ki p'ap konfòme yo ak sa m' te moutre nou.
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 Nou menm, nou konnen sa pou nou fè pou nou ka swiv egzanp mwen ban nou. Mwen pa t' fè parese lè m' te nan mitan nou.
For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not undisciplined among you,
8 Mwen pa t' kite pesonn ban m' manje pou gremesi. Okontrè, mwen te travay di, mwen te fatige kò mwen anpil, lajounen kou lannwit, pou m' pa t' sou kont nou yonn.
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 Se pa paske mwen pa t' gen dwa resevwa anyen nan men pesonn ki fè m' te fè sa. Non. Se paske mwen te vle ban nou yon egzanp pou nou te swiv.
not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
10 Nou chonje lè m' te lakay nou, mwen te di nou: moun ki pa travay pa gen dwa manje non plis.
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
11 M'ap pale konsa ak nou paske m' pran nouvèl gen kèk moun nan mitan nou k'ap fè parese, ki pa vle fè lòt bagay pase foure bouch yo nan zafè lòt moun.
For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.
12 Men sa m'ap voye di moun sa yo: Nan non Jezikri, Seyè a, m'ap mande nou pou nou travay nan lòd, pou nou manje swe kouraj nou.
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 Pou nou menm, frè m' yo, pa janm bouke fè sa ki byen.
But you, brothers, do not be weary in doing well.
14 Si yon moun pa swiv lòd mwen bay nan lèt sa a, make li. Piga pesonn gen okenn rapò avè l', pou l' sa wont.
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 Men, se pa poutèt sa pou nou fè lènmi avè li. Okontrè, pale avè l' tankou yon frè.
Do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Mwen mande Seyè a ki konn bay kè poze, pou li fè kè nou poze tout tan, tout jan, pou li toujou la avèk nou tout.
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
17 Se mwen menm Pòl k'ap ekri mo sa yo: mwen voye bonjou pou nou tout. Se konsa mwen siyen tout lèt mwen yo, se konsa mwen toujou ekri.
The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.
18 Se pou benediksyon Jezikri, Seyè nou an, toujou la avèk nou tout.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
