II Tesaloniczan 3
1 Na koniec, bracia, módlcie się za nas, aby słowo Pana szerzyło się i rozsławiało jak i u was;
As for the other matters, [our] fellow believers, pray for us that more and more [people will] hear [PRS] our message [about our] Lord [Jesus]. Pray that they will believe this message, as you [have done].
2 I abyśmy byli wybawieni od przewrotnych i złych ludzi; nie wszyscy bowiem mają wiarę.
Pray also for us that we will be rescued {that God will rescue us} from those very perverse/evil people [here] who [cause us to suffer. Pray like that] because [they and many others] refuse to believe [LIT] [this message].
3 Lecz wierny jest Pan, który was utwierdzi i będzie strzec od złego.
[Remember that our] Lord [Jesus] is trustworthy! [So we are sure that] he will cause you to continue to be steadfast. [We are also sure that] he will protect you from [Satan], the evil one (OR, from evil).
4 Co do was, mamy ufność w Panu, że to, co nakazujemy, czynicie i będziecie czynić.
[Because of your close relationship with our] Lord [Jesus], we are confident that you are obeying what we have commanded you, and we are confident that you will obey what we are commanding [you in this letter].
5 Pan zaś niech skieruje wasze serca ku miłości Bożej i ku cierpliwemu oczekiwaniu Chrystusa.
[We pray that our] Lord [Jesus] would enable you to continue [knowing] that God loves you. [We pray] also that Christ will cause you to continue [being] steadfast (OR, being steadfast as he [was steadfast]).
6 A nakazujemy wam, bracia, w imię naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa, abyście stronili od każdego brata, który postępuje nieporządnie, a nie według przekazanych nauk, które otrzymał od nas.
[Our] fellow believers, we command you, with the authority [MTY] that our Lord Jesus Christ [has given to us], that you stop associating with every fellow believer who is lazy and refuses to work. That is, you must stay away from those who are not [conducting their lives] in the manner that we taught you.
7 Sami bowiem wiecie, jak należy nas naśladować, ponieważ nie żyliśmy wśród was nieporządnie;
[We tell you this] because you yourselves know that you should [behave] like we [behaved]. We (did not just sit [around] without working/were never lazy) [while we were living] among you.
8 Ani u nikogo nie jedliśmy chleba za darmo, ale pracowaliśmy w trudzie i zmęczeniu we dnie i w nocy, aby dla nikogo z was nie być ciężarem.
Specifically, we did not eat anyone’s food if we did not pay [that person] for it. Instead, we worked very hard ([to support ourselves/to earn the money to buy what we needed]). We worked hard [DOU] during the day and during the night, in order that we would not have to depend on any of you [to supply what we needed].
9 Nie jakobyśmy nie mieli do [tego] prawa, lecz żeby dać wam samych siebie za przykład do naśladowania.
We have always had the right [to depend on you for money, but instead we worked hard in order to make ourselves] examples for you, in order that you should behave like we behave.
10 Gdy bowiem byliśmy u was, to nakazaliśmy wam: Kto nie chce pracować, niech [też] nie je.
Remember that when we were [there] with you, we kept commanding you that if any [fellow believer] refuses to work, [you should not give] him food to eat.
11 Bo słyszymy, że niektórzy wśród was postępują nieporządnie, wcale nie pracują, lecz zajmują się niepotrzebnymi rzeczami.
[We are commanding the same thing] again now, because someone has told us that some of you are lazy and not working at all, just interfering [with what other people are doing]!
12 Dlatego nakazujemy [im] i napominamy przez naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa, aby spokojnie pracując, własny chleb jedli.
We command those fellow believers who are not working, and urge [them] by the authority [MTY] of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they settle down and (support themselves by working/work to earn money to buy what they need).
13 Wy zaś, bracia, nie bądźcie znużeni w czynieniu dobra.
Fellow believers! Do not ever get tired of doing what is right!
14 Jeśli ktoś nie posłucha naszych słów [zawartych] w [tym] liście, to zwróćcie na niego uwagę i nie przestawajcie z nim, aby się zawstydził.
If any [fellow believer refuses to work] and does not obey what I have written in this letter, ([publicly] identify that person/tell the congregation what that person is doing). Then do not associate with him, in order that he may become ashamed.
15 Nie uważajcie [go] jednak za nieprzyjaciela, lecz napominajcie jak brata.
Do not think of him as though he was [your] enemy; instead, warn him as [you would warn your other] fellow believers.
16 A sam Pan pokoju niech was obdarza pokojem zawsze [i] na wszelki sposób. Pan [niech będzie] z wami wszystkimi.
[I pray that our] Lord [Jesus] himself, who [gives inner] peace [to his people], will give [inner] peace to you always (and in every situation/whatever happens). 2 Thessalonians 3:16b-18 I [pray that our] Lord [Jesus will continue to] help you all.
17 Pozdrowienie moją, Pawła, ręką; jest ono znakiem w każdym liście; tak piszę.
Now, having taken the pen from my scribe, I, Paul, am sending this greeting to you as I write this myself [SYN]. I do this in all my letters in order that you may know that it is truly I who have sent this letter. This is how I always end my letters.
18 Łaska naszego Pana Jezusa Chrystusa [niech będzie] z wami wszystkimi. Amen.
I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to act kindly to you all.
