祈求主的道快快传开

最后,弟兄们,请为我们祷告,好叫主的道也像在你们那里一样快快传开,得着荣耀, 也使我们能够脱离那些不讲理的恶人,因为不是人人都有信心。 主是信实的,他必坚定你们,保护你们脱离那恶者。 我们靠着主深深相信,你们现在以及将来都会遵行我们所吩咐的, 愿主引导你们的心,使你们有 神的爱和基督的坚忍。

不可游手好闲

弟兄们,我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐你们,凡是游手好闲的弟兄,不按着你们从我们所领受的教训去行,就应当远离他。 你们自己本来就知道应当怎样效法我们,因为我们在你们中间并没有游手好闲, 也没有白吃过谁的饭,反而辛苦劳碌,昼夜作工,免得加重你们任何一人的负担。 这不是因为我们没有权利,而是要给你们作榜样,好让你们效法我们。 10 我们在你们那里的时候,曾经吩咐过你们,如果有人不肯作工,就不可吃饭。 11 因为我们听说,你们中间有人游手好闲,甚么工也不作,反倒专管闲事。 12 我们靠着主耶稣基督,吩咐劝戒这样的人,要安静作工,自食其力。 13 弟兄们,你们行善不可灰心。 14 如果有人不听从我们这封信上的训勉,要把这个人记下来,不可和他来往,好叫他自己觉得惭愧。 15 但不要把他看作仇敌,却要劝他好象劝弟兄一样。

祝福

16 愿赐平安的主亲自随时随地赐平安给你们。愿主与你们众人同在。

17 我保罗亲笔问候你们。这是我每一封信的记号;我的笔迹就是这样。 18 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们众人同在。

Heoi, E oku teina, inoi mo matou, kia rere te kupu a te Ariki, kia whai kororia, kia pena me tena i a koutou:

Kia whakaorangia hoki matou i nga tangata poauau, i nga tangata kino: kahore hoki nga tangata katoa e whakapono.

Otiia e pono ana te Atua, mana koutou e whakau, e tiaki i te tangata kino.

Na e u ana to matou whakaaro i roto i te Ariki ki a koutou, kei te mahi koutou, a ka mahi ano i a matou e whakaako nei ki a koutou.

Ma te Ariki hoki e whakatika o koutou ngakau ki te aroha o te Atua, ki te ngakau ata tatari o te Karaiti.

Na, ko ta matou whakahau atu tenei ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, mawehe ke i nga teina katoa e he ana te whakahaere, kahore nei e rite ki a matou whakarerenga iho i roto i a ratou.

E matau na hoki koutou ki nga mea e tika ai ta koutou whakarite ki a matou: kihai hoki i he ta matou whakahaere i roto i a koutou;

Kihai hoki matou i kai noa i te taro i te ringa o tetahi tangata, engari i roto i te mahi nui, i te uaua, me te mahi tonu i te ao, i te po, kei whakataimahatia e matou tetahi o koutou.

Ehara ra i te mea kahore o matou take, engari kia meinga ai matou hei tauria mo koutou, kia rite ai ta koutou ki ta matou.

10 Ana hoki i a matou e noho ana i a koutou, ko ta matou whakahau tenei ki a koutou, ki te kore tetahi e pai ki te mahi, kaua ia e tukua kia kai.

11 Kei te rongo hoki matou tera etahi e he ana te whakahaere i roto i a koutou, kahore rawa e mahi, engari e pokanoa ana ki a etahi.

12 Na, ko ta matou ako, ko ta matou whakahau tenei ki aua tangata pera, i roto i to tatou Ariki, i a Ihu Karaiti, me mahi marie ratou, ka kai i a ratou na ake kai.

13 Ko koutou ia, e oku teina, kei ngakaukore ki te mahi pai.

14 Na ki te kore tetahi e ngohengohe ki ta matou kupu i tenei pukapuka, kia marama te tohu i a ia, kei piri koutou ki a ia, kia whakama ai ia.

15 Otiia kaua e mea he hoariri ia, engari whakatupatoria, ano he teina.

16 Na, ma te Ariki pu o te rangimarie e hoatu te rangimarie ki a koutou i nga wa katoa, i nga mea katoa. Kia noho te Ariki ki a koutou katoa.

17 Ko te oha aku, a Paora, na toku ringaringa ake, ko te tohu ia i nga pukapuka katoa; he pena taku tuhituhi.

18 Kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou katoa. Amine.

Request for Prayer

As for other matters, brothers and sisters,(A) pray for us(B) that the message of the Lord(C) may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.(D) And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people,(E) for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful,(F) and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.(G) We have confidence(H) in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts(I) into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

Warning Against Idleness

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,(J) we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from(K) every believer who is idle and disruptive(L) and does not live according to the teaching[a] you received from us.(M) For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example.(N) We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked(O) night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help,(P) but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.(Q) 10 For even when we were with you,(R) we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work(S) shall not eat.”

11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.(T) 12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ(U) to settle down and earn the food they eat.(V) 13 And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.(W)

14 Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them,(X) in order that they may feel ashamed.(Y) 15 Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.(Z)

Final Greetings

16 Now may the Lord of peace(AA) himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.(AB)

17 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand,(AC) which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.(AD)
