2 Utasalonika 3
1 Nene, linuana, sun nlira bara arik, bara ligbulan Cikilari nyaa mas nin zazinu, nofonalidi nin na nun,
Finally, do pray, brothers, for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and may be glorified even as also with 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 perverse and evil men; not for all [are] of the faith.
3 Cikilari di nin kidegen, abatunu minu anin kuru ayenje minu unuzu na charan nnit unanzan.
faithful however is the Lord, who will strengthen you and He will keep [you] from evil.
4 Arik yinna nin Cikilari ndellen mine, iba su ili ubun su ni le imon nati kpada minu.
We have been persuaded now in [the] Lord as to you that [the] things that we command (to you *k) both you are doing and you will do.
5 Nlirari Cikilari durso nibinei mine uchindu usuu Kutelle nin teru kibinei Kristi.
And the Lord would direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of 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.
We command now you, brothers, in [the] name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ, are to withdraw you from every brother idly walking and not according to the tradition that (they received *N+K+O) from us.
7 Anun yiru iyizyari iba so nofo arik. Natiwa su nofo agballa nya mine ba.
Yourselves for you know how it behooves [you] to imitate us; because not we were idle 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 without payment bread did we eat from anyone, but in labor and hardship (night *N+kO) and (day *N+kO) working in order not to be burdensome 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 not we have [the] right, but that ourselves [as] an example we may offer to you for you to imitate us.
10 Kubi na tiwa di nan ghinu, tiwa kpada minu, “Asa umon nari usu kataa, naawa li ba.”
Even for when we were with you, this we were commanding you that if anyone not is willing to work neither he should eat.
11 Tina lanza amon nya mine di nin mon su ba. Na idin sukataa ba ama agballari nrusuzu nanit.
We hear for some are walking among you idly, not at all working but being busybodies.
12 Nene imus nalele tikpada nin nakara nya Cikilari Isa Kristi, nya kutik na isu kataa ili imonli mine.
Now to such we warn and we exhort (by *N+kO) (the *k) (Lord *N+kO) (of us *K) Jesus (Christ *N+kO) so that with quietness working their own bread they may eat.
13 Anun, linuana, yenjen iwa chin usu ni mon ichine nya nibinei mine.
you yourselves now, brothers, not may 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.
If then anyone not obey this instruction of us through the letter, of this [man] do take note (and *k) not (to mix with *N+kO) him so that he may be ashamed;
15 Na iwa yene gne nofo unan liburi lisirne ba, wunun gne kutuf nofo gwana.
And yet not as an enemy do esteem [him], but do admonish [him] as a brother.
16 Na Cikilari mmang litime niminu mmang vat nabi nya tibau mine. Cikilari so nan na nun vat.
Himself now the Lord of peace would give you peace through all [times] 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.
The greeting in my own hand — by Paul, which is [my] sign in every letter; In this manner I write.
18 Na nshew Cikilari Isa Kristi sonan a nun vat.
The grace of the Lord of us Jesus Christ [be] with all of you (Amen. *KO) (to Thessalonica second it was written from Athens *K)
