2 Bathesalonike 3

1 Mbe woli, bhaili, mchisabhile, ati musango gwa Latabhugenyi ogutula okuswila no kukusibha, lwa kutyo jili one kwemwe.

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;

2 Nimusabhwe ati chitule okukisibhwa okusoka mu bhubhibhi na bhanu abhagomi, kulwo kubha bhatali bhona bhanu bhane likilisha.

and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men; for it is not everybody who has faith.

3 Mbe nawe Latabhugenyi ni mwiikanyibhwa, unu kabhakomesha emwe no kubhalinda okusoka ku mubhibhi ulya.

But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast and will guard you from the Evil one.

4 Mbe nawe chili no bhubhasi mu Latabhugenyi ingulu yemwe, ati omukola no mujo okugendelela okukola emisango jinu echibhalagilila.

And we have confidence in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing, and will do, what we command.

5 Latabhugenyi atule okutangasha emyoyo jemwe mu kwenda na mu bhwigumilisha bhwa Kristo.

And may the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

6 Woli echibhalagilila, bhaili, mwisina Lya Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo, ati nuwichunde bhuli muili unu ekaye no obhulame bhwo bhulenga atali kwo kulubhana na jintungwa jo bhusimuka jinu mwalamiye okusoka kweswe.

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.

7 Kulwo kubha emwe abhene mumenyele ati ni kisi kwemwe okuchilubha eswe. Chitalamile agati-gati yemwe lwa bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhatana bhwolobhe.

For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,

8 Na chitaliye ebhilyo bhyo munu wona wona obhutabhiliila. Ukwiya nichikola emilimu mu mumwisi na mu ngeta kwe milimu mikomee na mu nyako, koleleki chasiga mujigo ku wona wona kwimwe.

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.

9 Chakolele kutya atali kulwa insonga ati chitana bhutulo. Nawe chakolele kutya koleleki chibhe chijejekanyo kwimwe, koleleki ati muchilubhilile eswe.

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.

10 Mu mwanya gunu chaliga chili amwi nemwe chabhalagiliye, “Akabha oumwi wemwe atakwenda kukola milimu, asige okulya.”

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."

11 Kulwo kubha echugwa ati abhandi abhalibhatila mu bhulenga agati-gati yemwe. Bhatakola milimu okumala abhabhonekana ni bhanu bhanu bhatana bhwitondi.

For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.

12 Mbe woli abho bhona echibhalagilila no kubhasimbagilisha mu Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo, ati ni bhusi-bhusi bhakole emilimu kwo obhucholele no kulya ebhilyo bhyebhwe abhene.

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.

13 Mbe nawe emwe, bhaili, mwasiga kukabha mu mitima jemwe mu kukola ganu gali ge kisi.

But you, brethren, must not grow weary in the path of duty;

14 Akabha omunu wona wona atakwenda kugwolobhela omusango gweswe mu Nyalumba inu, mbe mumwangalile na mwasiga kusangila amwi nage, koleleki ati eswale.

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.

15 Mwasiga kumulola kuti musoko, Mbe nawe ni mumusakile uti muili.

And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him as a brother.

16 Latabhugenyi wo mulembe omwene abhayane omulembe mu mwanya gwona gwona mu njila jona. Latabhugenyi abhe amwi nemwe bhona.

And may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every sense. The Lord be with you all.

17 Bhunu ni bhukesha bwani, Paulo, kwo kubhoko kwani omwene, lunu ni lunyamo lwa bhuli nyalubha. Kutya nikwo nandikile.

I Paul add the greeting with my own hand, which is the credential in every letter of mine.

18 Echigongo cha Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo chitule okubha amwi nemwe bhona.

This is my handwriting. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
