2 Tessalonicenses 3
1 No demais, irmãos, rogae por nós, para que a palavra do Senhor tenha livre curso e seja glorificada, como tambem entre vós;
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 E para que sejamos livres de homens dissolutos e maus, porque a fé não é de todos.
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 Mas fiel é o Senhor, que vos confortará, e guardará do maligno.
[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 E confiamos de vós no Senhor que tambem fazeis e fareis o que vos mandamos.
[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 Ora o Senhor encaminhe os vossos corações na caridade de Deus, e na paciencia de Christo.
[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 Mandamo-vos, porém, irmãos, em nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Christo, que vos aparteis de todo o irmão que andar desordenadamente, e não segundo a tradição que de nós recebeu.
[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 Porque vós mesmos sabeis como convém imitar-nos, pois que não nos houvemos desordenadamente entre vós:
[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 Nem de graça comemos o pão de nenhum, mas com trabalho e fadiga, trabalhando noite e dia, para não sermos pesados a nenhum de vós.
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 Não porque não tivessemos auctoridade, mas para vos dar em nós mesmo exemplo, para nos imitardes.
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 Porque, quando ainda estavamos comvosco, vos mandámos isto, que, se alguem não quizer trabalhar, não coma tambem.
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 Porque ouvimos que alguns entre vós andam desordenadamente, não trabalhando, antes fazendo coisas vãs.
[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 Aos taes, porém, mandamos, e admoestamos por nosso Senhor Jesus Christo, que, trabalhando com socego, comam o seu proprio pão.
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 E vós, irmãos, não vos canceis de fazer bem.
Fellow believers! Do not ever get tired of doing what is right!
14 Porém, se alguem não obedecer á nossa palavra escripta n'esta carta, notae o tal, e não vos mistureis com elle, para que se envergonhe.
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 Todavia não o tenhaes como inimigo, mas admoestae-o como irmão.
Do not think of him as though he was [your] enemy; instead, warn him as [you would warn your other] fellow believers.
16 Ora o mesmo Senhor da paz vos dê sempre paz em toda a maneira. O Senhor seja com todos vós.
[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 Saudação da minha propria mão, de mim, Paulo, que é o signal em todas as epistolas: assim escrevo.
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 A graça de nosso Senhor Jesus Christo seja com todos vós. Amen.
I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to act kindly to you all.
