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,
ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲗⲏⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ. ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲓ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲧⲣ̅ⲧⲱⲣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ. ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ·
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ·
4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
ⲇ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁⲩ.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and into the perseverance of Christ.
ⲉ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ̅ (ⲛ̅)ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
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.
ⲋ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲥⲁϩⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲁⲧⲁⲕⲧⲱⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅.
7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we did not behave ourselves rebelliously among you,
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϣ̅ϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁϣ ⲛ̅ϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲁⲕⲧⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
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.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲛϫⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲛⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛϩⲣⲟϣ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅.
9 This was not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲁⲁⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, do not let him eat.”
ⲓ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ϥⲟⲩⲉϣⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ.
11 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲧⲁⲕⲧⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲧⲱϩ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥϭⲣⲁϩⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ.
13 But you, brothers, do not be weary in doing what is right.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲉⲅⲕⲁϭⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲱϩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲓⲡⲉ
15 Do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲟⲡϥ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ϫⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲟⲛ.
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉϥⲉϯ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write.

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