2 Batesalonika 3
1 Bandeko, bobondelaka mpo na biso na tina na makambo mosusu, mpo ete Liloba na Nkolo epanzana noki mpe epesamela lokumu ndenge ezalaki kozwa lokumu epai na bino.
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 Bobondelaka mpe mpo ete Nzambe akangola biso wuta na maboko ya bato mabe mpe ya batomboki, pamba te bato nyonso bazali na kondima te.
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 Kasi Nkolo azali sembo, akopesa bino makasi mpe akobatela bino liboso ya Satana.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
4 Tondimisami kati na Nkolo ete bozali kosala mpe bokokoba kosala makambo nyonso oyo tozali kotinda bino.
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 Tika ete Nkolo akamba mitema na bino kino na bolingo ya Nzambe mpe na molende ya Klisto!
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Bandeko, totindi bino na Kombo ya Nkolo Yesu-Klisto ete bokima ndeko nyonso oyo atambolaka na bomoi ya mobulu mpe alingaka te kotambola kolanda malakisi oyo bozwaki kowuta na biso.
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 Pamba te boyebi bino moko ndenge nini bosengeli kolanda ndakisa na biso. Tango tozalaki elongo na bino, tozalaki bagoyigoyi te
For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 mpe toliaki epai ya moto moko te bilei ya ofele; kasi tozalaki, butu mpe moyi, kosala mosala ya makasi mpe ya pasi, mpo ete topesa mokumba na biso epai ya moto moko te kati na bino.
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 Nzokande elingi koloba te ete tozangaki makoki mpo na lisungi ya ndenge wana, kasi tosalaki bongo mpo ete tokoma ndakisa mpo na bino.
Not because we have not authority, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
10 Pamba te, ezala tango tozalaki elongo na bino, topesaki bino mobeko oyo: « Tika ete moto oyo aboyi kosala mosala alia mpe te! »
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 Tozali koyoka ete mingi kati na bino bazali bagoyigoyi mpe bazali kotambola na bomoi ya mobulu, bazali kosala eloko moko te, kasi bazali kaka kokota na makambo ya bato mosusu.
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Tozali kokomela bato ya lolenge wana malako mpe kosenga na bango, na Kombo ya Nkolo Yesu-Klisto, ete basala mosala na kimia mpe balia bilei oyo bakozwa na motoki na bango moko.
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 Kasi mpo na bino bandeko, bolemba te kosala bolamu.
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 Soki moto aboyi kotosa mitindo oyo topesi bino kati na mokanda oyo, bokebisa bato nyonso na tina na ye mpe bosangana na ye lisusu te mpo ete ayoka soni.
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 Bozwa ye lokola monguna te, kasi bopamela ye lokola ndeko.
Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Tika ete Ye moko Nkolo na kimia apesaka bino kimia tango nyonso mpe na lolenge nyonso! Tika ete Nkolo azala elongo na bino nyonso!
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
17 Ngai Polo, nakomi mbote oyo na nzela ya loboko na ngai moko; yango nde ezali elembo kati na mikanda na ngai nyonso. Nakomaka nde bongo.
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18 Tika ete ngolu ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, ezala na bino nyonso!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.
