2 Tasaloniiqee 3
1 Egaa yaa obboloota, akka dubbiin Gooftaa akkuma isin biratti taʼe sana dafee iddoo hunda gaʼuu fi akka ulfinas qabaatu nuuf kadhadhaa.
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.
2 Akka nu harka namoota hamootii fi jalʼootaa jalaa baanuufis nuuf kadhadhaa; amantii kan qabu nama hunda mitii.
And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.
3 Gooftaan garuu amanamaa dha; inni isin cimsa; isa hamaa irraas isin eega.
But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
4 Nu akka isin waan nu isin ajajne sana hojjechaa jirtan, akka ittuma fuftaniis hojjetan Gooftaa ni amananna.
And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
5 Gooftaan garaa keessan gara jaalala Waaqaatii fi gara obsa Kiristoositti haa qajeelchu.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
6 Yaa obboloota, isin obboleessa dhibaaʼaa fi kan akka bartee isin nurraa argattan sanaattis hin jiraanne hunda irraa akka fagaattaniif maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin isin ajajna.
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.
7 Isin mataan keessan akkamitti akka fakkeenya keenya duukaa buʼuu qabdan ni beektuutii. Nu yeroo isin bira turretti dhibaaʼota hin turre;
For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
8 nus akka isin keessaa nama tokkotti illee baʼaa hin taaneef jennee, dadhabbii fi tattaaffii guddaan halkanii guyyaa hojjechaa turre malee buddeena nama tokkoo illee tola hin nyaanne.
nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
9 Nu fakkeenya isinii taʼuuf waan kana goone malee waan aangoo hin qabneef miti.
Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
10 Nu yommuu isin bira turretti ajaja, “Namni hojjechuu hin barbaanne kam iyyuu hin nyaatin” jedhu isinii kenninee turreetii.
For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
11 Akka isin keessaa namoonni tokko tokko dhibaaʼota taʼanii jiraatan dhageenyeerraatii. Isaan dhimma nama biraa keessa galuu malee ofii isaaniitii waan tokko illee hin hojjetan.
Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.
12 Namoonni akkanaa akka gab jedhanii hojii hojjetanii fi akka buddeena ofii isaanii nyaataniif Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin isaan ajajna; ni gorsinas.
We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
13 Isin garuu yaa obboloota, waan gaarii hojjechuutti hin laafinaa.
But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.
14 Yoo namni kam iyyuu dubbii keenya kan xalayaa kana keessaatiif hin ajajamne, nama kana yaadatti qabadhaa. Akka inni qaanaʼuufis isa wajjin tokkummaa hin qabaatinaa.
Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.
15 Taʼus akka obboleessaatti isa gorsaa malee akka diinaatti isa hin ilaalinaa.
Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
16 Gooftaan nagaa mataan isaas yeroo hunda, karaa hundaan nagaa isinii haa kennu. Gooftaan hunduma keessan wajjin haa taʼu.
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
17 Ani Phaawulos xalayaa kana harkuma kootiin barreessa; kunis mallattoo xalayoota koo hundaa ti. Akki ani itti barreessus kanuma.
This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
18 Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos isin hunda wajjin haa taʼu.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
