< 2 Bhathesalonike 3 >

1 Ni henu, bhalongo, mutus'omelahi, kuj'ha lilobhi lya Bwana libhwesiayi kuyenela ni kutukusibhwa, kama kwaj'hayela pia kwa muenga.
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 Mus'omahi kuj'ha tubhwesyagha kuokolibhwa kuh'omela mu bhuovu ni bhanu bhaasi, kwa kuj'ha si bhoha bhaj'hele ni imani.
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 Lakini Bwana ndo mwaminifu, ambaj'he ibetakubhasindimalisya muenga ni kubhalenda kuh'oma kwa Bwana kwa j'hola muovu.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.
4 Tuj'hele ni bhusisya kwa Bwana kwa ndabha j'hinu; kuj'ha mwibhomba na mwibeta kuj'hendebela kubhomba mambo ambagho tu kabhalanghisya.
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that you both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 Bwana abhwesiyayi kulongosya mit'ema ghya muenga mu luganu ni mu bhuvumilivu bhwa Kristu.
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Henu tukabhalaghisya, bhalongo, mu lihina lya Bwana Yesu Kristu, kuj'ha muyepai kila ndongo ambaghe iishi maisha gha uvivu na siyo kwa kuh'omela ni kutokana ni desturi ambasyo mwasipokili kuh'oma kwa tete.
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
7 Kwa kuj'ha muenga mwebhene mmanyili kuj'ha sawa kwa muenga kutuj'hesya tete. Twatamili lepi mgati mwa muenga kama bhala ambabho bhaj'heledumu ni litengulilu.
For yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 Na twalilidumu kyakulya kya munu j'haj'hioha j'hola bila kukilep'hela. Badala j'hiake, Twabhombili mbombo pakilu ni pamusi kwa mbombo ngafu ni kwa mal'omb'osi ili tukata kuj'ha mzigo kwa j'hej'hioha Kati j'ha muenga.
Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nothing; but worked with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Twabhombili nahasi kwandabha tudulili mamlaka. Badala yiake, twak'hetili naha ili tuj'helayi mfuano kwa muenga, ili mubhwesiahi kutuj'hesya tuenga.
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample to you to follow us.
10 Wakati tuj'hele pamonga namu twabhalaghisye, “ij'helayi mmonga Kati j'hinu ilondalepi kubhomba mbombo, na asilyi”.
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 Kwa kuj'ha twep'heleka kuj'ha bhamana bhilota kwa bhutifu mugati mwinu. Bhibhomba lepi mbimbo lakini badala yiake ndo bhanu bhabhaye dumu ni bhutaratibu.
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Henu abhu ni bhene twikabhalanghisya ni kubhaasa kwa Bwana Yesu Kristu, kuj'ha lazima bhabhombagha mbombo kwa bhutulivu ni kulya kyakulya kya bhene.
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 Lakini muenga, bhalongo, musisiriki n'tema mu kubhomba ghaghayele manofu.
But you, brothers, be not weary in well doing.
14 Ikaj'he laghe munu j'hoj'hioha ibela kutii lilobhi lyitu mu waraka obho, Muyelayi makini naku na mkatakuj'ha ni bhushirika pamonga nu muene, ili kuj'ha abhwesiagha kubhona Soni.
And if any man obey not our word by this letter, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Mkatayi kuntolela Kama adui, lakini mumwonyaghe kama ndongobhinu.
Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Bwana bhwa amani muene abhapelayi amani bhwakati bhuoha mu nj'hela sioha. Bwana ayelayi namu mwebhoha.
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
17 E'j'he ndo salamu j'ha nenga, Paulo, kibhoko kyangu ne muene kila ambaho ndo alama mu kila bhwaraka. E'fe ndo kyanij'handika.
The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every letter: so I write.
18 Neema j'ha Bwana ghwitu Yesu Kristu j'hibhwesiagha kuj'ha namu mwebhoha.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
