2 Tesaloniana 3

1 Farany, ry rahalahy, mivavaha ho anay, mba handehanan’ ny tenin’ ny Tompo faingana ka hankalazaina toy ny eo aminareo,

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified even as among you;

2 ary mba hovonjena ho afaka amin’ ny olona hafahafa sy ratsy fanahy izahay; fa tsy ary manana finoana avokoa ny olona rehetra.

and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for all have not the disposition for faith.

3 Fa mahatoky ny Tompo, Izay hampahery sy hiaro anareo tsy ho azon’ ny ratsy.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you, and keep you from the evil one.

4 Fa izahay matoky anareo ao amin’ ny Tompo, fa izay zavatra andidianay dia efa ataonareo sady mbola hataonareo ihany koa.

And we have confidence in the Lord with respect to you, that you both do, and will continue to do, the things which we command you.

5 Ary ny Tompo anie hanitsy lalana ny fonareo ho amin’ ny fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra sy ho amin’ ny faharetan’ i Kristy.

And the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the patience of the Christ.

6 Ary mandidy anareo izahay, ry rahalahy, amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, mba hialanareo amin’ ny rahalahy rehetra izay tsy mitoetra tsara ka tsy manaraka ny fampianarana natolotra izay noraisiny taminay.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

7 Fa ny tenanareo mahalala izay tokony hianaranareo anay; fa nitoetra tsara teo aminareo izahay,

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we did not behave in a disorderly manner among you,

8 ary tsy nihinana foana izay hanin’ olona, fa niasa andro aman’ alina tamin’ ny fikelezan’ aina sy ny fisasarana mba tsy hahavaky tratra na dia iray akory aminareo aza;

nor did we eat any one’s bread for nothing: but worked with labor and toil, night and day, that we might not burden any one of you;

9 tsy noho ny tsy anananay fahefana anefa, fa mba hatolotray aminareo ho fianaranareo ny tenanay.

this we did, not because we have not authority, but that we might give ourselves to you as an example, in order that you might imitate us.

10 Fa fony mbola teo aminareo ihany aza izahay, dia nandidy anareo hoe: Raha misy tsy mety miasa, dia aoka tsy hihinana izy.

For when we were with you, we gave you this commandment, that if any one will not work, neither let him eat.

11 Fa renay fa misy ny sasany eo aminareo tsy mitoetra tsara, ka tsy miasa akory, fa mivezivezy foana miraharaha ny an’ olona.

For we hear that some walk about among you in a disorderly manner, doing no work, but being busybodies.

12 Ary izay manao toy izany no didianay sy anarinay ao amin’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompo mba hiasa tsara amin’ ny fiadanana ka hihinana izay azy ihany.

Now we command such, and exhort them by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness, and eat their own bread.

13 Fa ianareo, ry rahalahy, aza ketraka amin’ ny fanaovan-tsoa.

And you, brethren, should not be weary in well-doing.

14 Ary raha misy olona tsy manaiky ny teninay amin’ ity epistily ity, mariho izany olona izany, ka aza mikambana aminy, mba hahamenatra azy.

And if any one obey not our word by this letter, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed;

15 Anefa aza dia atao fahavalo izy, fa anaro toy ny rahalahy.

and yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16 Ary ny Tompon’ ny fiadanana anie hanome anareo fiadanana mandrakariva amin’ ny zavatra rehetra. Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny Tompo.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

17 Ity no veloma ataon’ ny tanako, izaho Paoly; izao no famantarana eo amin’ ny epistily rehetra; izao no soratro.

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every letter: so I write.

18 Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
