2 Utasalonika 3

1 Nene, linuana, sun nlira bara arik, bara ligbulan Cikilari nyaa mas nin zazinu, nofonalidi nin na nun,

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified even as among you;

2 tinan se tinuzu nachara na nan na buri asirne nin na nit ananzan, na vatari dinin kidegen ba.

and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for all have not the disposition for faith.

3 Cikilari di nin kidegen, abatunu minu anin kuru ayenje minu unuzu na charan nnit unanzan.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you, and keep you from the evil one.

4 Arik yinna nin Cikilari ndellen mine, iba su ili ubun su ni le imon nati kpada minu.

And we have confidence in the Lord with respect to you, that you both do, and will continue to do, the things which we command you.

5 Nlirari Cikilari durso nibinei mine uchindu usuu Kutelle nin teru kibinei Kristi.

And the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the patience of the Christ.

6 Nene, tikpada minu, linuna nya lisan Cikilari bite Isa Kristi, ichin vat gonni ulenge na a sosin sa atanda ale na ina seru kitibite.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

7 Anun yiru iyizyari iba so nofo arik. Natiwa su nofo agballa nya mine ba.

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we did not behave in a disorderly manner among you,

8 Tutung na tiwa li imonli mmong sa nlira ba. Nworu nani, nya kataa nin nieu tiwa su kataa kitii nin liyirin, bara tiwa umon mine kutura.

nor did we eat any one’s bread for nothing: but worked with labor and toil, night and day, that we might not burden any one of you;

9 Na ti dira akara ri ba, bara ti so-oh imon yenu kitimine, anun nan so bara arik.

this we did, not because we have not authority, but that we might give ourselves to you as an example, in order that you might imitate us.

10 Kubi na tiwa di nan ghinu, tiwa kpada minu, “Asa umon nari usu kataa, naawa li ba.”

For when we were with you, we gave you this commandment, that if any one will not work, neither let him eat.

11 Tina lanza amon nya mine di nin mon su ba. Na idin sukataa ba ama agballari nrusuzu nanit.

For we hear that some walk about among you in a disorderly manner, doing no work, but being busybodies.

12 Nene imus nalele tikpada nin nakara nya Cikilari Isa Kristi, nya kutik na isu kataa ili imonli mine.

Now we command such, and exhort them by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness, and eat their own bread.

13 Anun, linuana, yenjen iwa chin usu ni mon ichine nya nibinei mine.

And you, brethren, should not be weary in well-doing.

14 Asa umon nari ligbulan bit nyan niyert ilele, yenjen nani na imomon wa munu minu ba nan na nin ba, bara ina lanzan chin.

And if any one obey not our word by this letter, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed;

15 Na iwa yene gne nofo unan liburi lisirne ba, wunun gne kutuf nofo gwana.

and yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16 Na Cikilari mmang litime niminu mmang vat nabi nya tibau mine. Cikilari so nan na nun vat.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

17 Ilelere ilip nin, Bulus, nin na chara nin, udursuari vat nya niyert na nna yertin.

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every letter: so I write.

18 Na nshew Cikilari Isa Kristi sonan a nun vat.

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