2 Utasalonika 3
1 Nene, linuana, sun nlira bara arik, bara ligbulan Cikilari nyaa mas nin zazinu, nofonalidi nin na nun,
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.
2 tinan se tinuzu nachara na nan na buri asirne nin na nit ananzan, na vatari dinin kidegen ba.
And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the 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 guard 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 that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
5 Nlirari Cikilari durso nibinei mine uchindu usuu Kutelle nin teru kibinei Kristi.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
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, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you 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, because we were not undisciplined 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 anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
9 Na ti dira akara ri ba, bara ti so-oh imon yenu kitimine, anun nan so bara arik.
Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
10 Kubi na tiwa di nan ghinu, tiwa kpada minu, “Asa umon nari usu kataa, naawa li ba.”
For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
11 Tina lanza amon nya mine di nin mon su ba. Na idin sukataa ba ama agballari nrusuzu nanit.
Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.
12 Nene imus nalele tikpada nin nakara nya Cikilari Isa Kristi, nya kutik na isu kataa ili imonli mine.
We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
13 Anun, linuana, yenjen iwa chin usu ni mon ichine nya nibinei mine.
But as for you, brothers, do not grow 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.
Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.
15 Na iwa yene gne nofo unan liburi lisirne ba, wunun gne kutuf nofo gwana.
Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
16 Na Cikilari mmang litime niminu mmang vat nabi nya tibau mine. Cikilari so nan na nun vat.
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
17 Ilelere ilip nin, Bulus, nin na chara nin, udursuari vat nya niyert na nna yertin.
This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
18 Na nshew Cikilari Isa Kristi sonan a nun vat.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
