2 Thessalonians 3

1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you,

‌ʻE Kāinga, ko hono fakaʻosi, mou hūfia ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ke lele atu ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki, pea ongoongolelei ia, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu:

2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.

Pea koeʻuhi ke fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he kakai taʻeʻatamai mo angakovi: ke ʻoku ʻikai maʻu kotoa pē ʻae tui.

3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

Ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻEiki, ʻaia te ne fakatuʻumaʻu pea fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he kovi.

4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

Pea ʻoku mau falala ki he ʻEiki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻoku mou fai, pea te mou fai pe, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mau fekau kiate kimoutolu.

5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and into the perseverance of Christ.

Pea ke fakahinohino homou loto ʻe he ʻEiki ki he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo e faʻa kātaki ʻa Kalaisi.

6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion and not after the tradition which they received from us.

Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku mau fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he huafa ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke mou mavahe ʻakimoutolu mei he kāinga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻeveʻeva taʻetotonu, pea ʻikai tatau mo e fekau naʻa ne maʻu meiate kimoutolu.

7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we did not behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

He ʻoku mou ʻilo, ʻoku totonu ke mou faʻifaʻitaki kiate kimautolu: he naʻe ʻikai te mau fai taʻetotonu ʻiate kimoutolu;

8 neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you.

Pe temau kai taʻetotongi ʻae mā ʻa ha tokotaha; ka naʻa mau fai ʻae ngaue mo feinga ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mau fakamasivaʻi ha taha ʻokimoutolu:

9 This was not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

Ka naʻe ʻikai koeʻuhi ʻoku taʻetotonu kiate kimautolu, ka ke mau hoko ko e fakaʻilonga ke mou faʻifaʻitaki kiate kimautolu.

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, do not let him eat.”

Ka ʻi he ʻemau ʻiate kimoutolu, naʻa mau fekau eni kiate kimoutolu, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fie ngaue ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻa ne kai.”

11 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.

He ʻoku mau fanongo ki ha niʻihi ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻeveʻeva taʻetotonu, ʻo ʻikai siʻi ngaue, ka ko e kau kaunoa.

12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.

Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku pehē, ʻoku mau fekaua mo enginaki, ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke nau ngaue fakalongo pe, pea kai ʻae maʻanautolu pe.

13 But you, brothers, do not be weary in doing what is right.

Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻoua naʻa mou fiu ʻi he fai lelei.

14 If any man does not obey our word in this letter, note that man and have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai talangofua ha taha ki he ʻemau fekau ʻi he tohi ni, fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ʻoua naʻa fakataha mo ia, koeʻuhi ke mā ai ia.

15 Do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Kae ʻoua naʻa lau ia ko e fili, kae valokiʻi ʻo taau mo ha kāinga.

16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

Ko eni, ʻofa ke foaki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻoe melino ʻae melino maʻuaipē kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻEiki.

17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write.

Ko e tohi ʻofa eni ʻa Paula ʻaki hoku nima ʻoʻoku, ʻaia ko e fakaʻilonga ʻi he ngaahi tohi kotoa pē: ʻoku pehē pe ʻeku tohi.

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

Ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē. ʻEmeni.
