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.

Concerning other things, brothers, pray for us, so that the Word of God may advance and be glorified, just as it is among you,

2 Akka nu harka namoota hamootii fi jalʼootaa jalaa baanuufis nuuf kadhadhaa; amantii kan qabu nama hunda mitii.

and so that we may be freed from pertinacious and evil men. For not everyone is faithful.

3 Gooftaan garuu amanamaa dha; inni isin cimsa; isa hamaa irraas isin eega.

But God is faithful. He will strengthen you, and he will guard you from evil.

4 Nu akka isin waan nu isin ajajne sana hojjechaa jirtan, akka ittuma fuftaniis hojjetan Gooftaa ni amananna.

And we have confidence about you in the Lord, that you are doing, and will continue to do, just as we have instructed.

5 Gooftaan garaa keessan gara jaalala Waaqaatii fi gara obsa Kiristoositti haa qajeelchu.

And may the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God and with the patience of Christ.

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.

But we strongly caution you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to draw yourselves away from every brother who is walking in disorder and not according to the tradition that they 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 the manner in which you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly 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 bread from anyone for free, but rather, we worked night and day, in hardship and weariness, so as not to be burdensome to you.

9 Nu fakkeenya isinii taʼuuf waan kana goone malee waan aangoo hin qabneef miti.

It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us.

10 Nu yommuu isin bira turretti ajaja, “Namni hojjechuu hin barbaanne kam iyyuu hin nyaatin” jedhu isinii kenninee turreetii.

Then, too, while we were with you, we insisted on this to you: that if anyone was not willing to work, neither should he 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.

For we have heard that there are some among you who act disruptively, not working at all, but eagerly meddling.

12 Namoonni akkanaa akka gab jedhanii hojii hojjetanii fi akka buddeena ofii isaanii nyaataniif Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin isaan ajajna; ni gorsinas.

Now we charge those who act in this way, and we beg them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work in silence and eat their own bread.

13 Isin garuu yaa obboloota, waan gaarii hojjechuutti hin laafinaa.

And you, brothers, do not grow weak in doing good.

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.

But if anyone does not obey our word by this epistle, take note of him and do not keep company with him, so that he may be ashamed.

15 Taʼus akka obboleessaatti isa gorsaa malee akka diinaatti isa hin ilaalinaa.

But do not be willing to consider him as an enemy; instead, correct him as a brother.

16 Gooftaan nagaa mataan isaas yeroo hunda, karaa hundaan nagaa isinii haa kennu. Gooftaan hunduma keessan wajjin haa taʼu.

Then may the Lord of peace himself give you an everlasting peace, in every place. May 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.

The greeting of Paul with my own hand, which is the seal in every epistle. So do I write.

18 Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos isin hunda wajjin haa taʼu.

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