2テサロニケ 3
Japanese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
祈ってほしい！
3 さて、教会のみんな！私たちのためにこう祈ってほしい！王であるイエスの教えがもっと急速に広がりをみせるようにと・・・そして、それを聞いた人々は、その教えをしっかりとあなた達と同じように受け取ることが出来る様にと・・・ 2 あぁ～、それから私たちが守られるように・・・理屈を言う人や悪を愛している人からも守られるようにと祈って欲しい。知っての通り、全ての人が王であるイエスを受け入れるわけではない。
3 しかし、王であるイエスは決して裏切らない。みんなに力を与え、どんな悪いものからも守ってくれる。 4 王であるイエスは私たちに自信を持たせてくれるのだ。その自信は私たちがあなた達に教えたことをし続けるために必要なものだ。 5 王であるイエスの導きによって、神の愛を肌で感じ、救い主の辛抱強さを忘れることがないようにと私たちは祈っている。
働かざる者、食うべからず
6 教会のみんな！王であるイエス・キリストの権威を持って私たちが命ずる。働けるのに働かないといっている信じる者たちからは距離を置くのだ。そういった態度は私たちが教えた道に反するからだ。 7 私たちが示した生き様を見本にすべきであることぐらい、知っているだろう。私たちがそちらにいた時、ダラダラとしたことはなかったはずだ。 8 あなた達から食料をタダでもらったこともない。誰にも負担をかけないために昼夜問わず働き続けた。 9 私たちはあなた達に助けを求めるぐらいの権利だってあったはずだ。しかし、そうはしなかった。その代わりに自分たちのことは自分たちで行うために必死になって働いたのだ。こうして私たちの生活ぶりがみんなの手本となるようにと、それを示したのだ。 10 そちらにいた時「働かざる者、食うべからず」という指示を与えたはずだ。
11 しかし一方で、みんなの教会の何人かの人は働くことをせず、一日中何もしないで過ごしている人たちがいると聞いている。何かをしたかと思えば、他人の問題に口出しするようなことだけをしている。 12 私たちの言っている鉄則は、ほかの人を邪魔することではなく、自分で働き、自分で稼ぐことだ！王であるイエス・キリストの権威によって、このことを強くお願いする。 13 教会のみんな！良い働きをしなさい！それに飽きてはならない！
14 もしこの手紙の教えに従おうとしない者がいれば、その人の顔をよく覚えておけ。そんな人とは関わるな。そうすれば恥を抱いて態度を改めるかもしれない。 15 しかし同時に、その人たちはあなた達の敵ではないことを覚えておきなさい。だから彼らを敵視してはいけないのだ。彼らには兄弟に対するような愛のこもった注意が必要だ。
究極の平安
16 あぁ～、私たちはあなた達のために祈っている。どんな時も、どんな状況にあっても平安の王があなた達に安らぎを与えてくれるようにと祈っている。
17 最後は私の自筆で挨拶をつづろう。
ーーパウローー
偽装されないよう、どの手紙でもこうしている。 18 王であるイエス・キリストの恵みがあるように。

Pray for Us
3 Finally, brethren, (A)pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, 2 and (B)that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; (C)for not all have faith.
3 But (D)the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and (E)guard you from the evil one. 4 And (F)we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
5 Now may (G)the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
Warning Against Idleness
6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (H)that you withdraw (I)from every brother who walks (J)disorderly and not according to the tradition which [a]he received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread [b]free of charge, but worked with (K)labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, 9 not because we do not have (L)authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are (M)busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and [c]exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ (N)that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
13 But as for you, brethren, (O)do not grow weary in doing good. 14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this [d]epistle, note that person and (P)do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 (Q)Yet do not count him as an enemy, (R)but [e]admonish him as a brother.
Benediction
16 Now may (S)the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
17 (T)The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every [f]epistle; so I write.
18 (U)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Request for Prayer
3 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) 2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people,(E) for not everyone has faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful,(F) and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.(G) 4 We have confidence(H) in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts(I) into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
Warning Against Idleness
6 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) 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example.(N) We were not idle when we were with you, 8 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. 9 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)

Pray for Us
3 Finally, brothers,[a] (A)pray for us, that (B)the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored,[b] as happened among you, 2 and (C)that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For (D)not all have faith. 3 But (E)the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and (F)guard you against (G)the evil one.[c] 4 And (H)we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. 5 May the Lord (I)direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
Warning Against Idleness
6 Now we command you, brothers, (J)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (K)that you keep away from any (L)brother (M)who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know (N)how you ought to imitate us, because (O)we were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but (P)with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was (Q)not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves (R)an example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: (S)If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you (T)walk in idleness, not busy at work, but (U)busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.[d]
13 As for you, brothers, (V)do not grow weary in doing good. 14 If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and (W)have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 (X)Do not regard him as an enemy, but (Y)warn him as a brother.
Benediction
16 Now may (Z)the Lord of peace himself (AA)give you peace at all times in every way. (AB)The Lord be with you all.
17 I, Paul, write (AC)this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write. 18 (AD)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
