2 Tesaloniana 3

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

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with 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 unreasonable and evil people; for not all have faith.

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

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard 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.

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

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

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of 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, 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 Fa ny tenanareo mahalala izay tokony hianaranareo anay; fa nitoetra tsara teo aminareo izahay,

For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not undisciplined 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;

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

not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should 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 even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone 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 among you are living an undisciplined life, who do not work at all, but are 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 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 Fa ianareo, ry rahalahy, aza ketraka amin’ ny fanaovan-tsoa.

But you, brothers, do not be weary in doing well.

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

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

Do not count 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 may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. 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 greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.

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

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