2 Thessalonians 3
1 For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;
Heoi, E oku teina, inoi mo matou, kia rere te kupu a te Ariki, kia whai kororia, kia pena me tena i a koutou:
2 and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith [is] not [the portion] of all.
Kia whakaorangia hoki matou i nga tangata poauau, i nga tangata kino: kahore hoki nga tangata katoa e whakapono.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep [you] from evil.
Otiia e pono ana te Atua, mana koutou e whakau, e tiaki i te tangata kino.
4 But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.
Na e u ana to matou whakaaro i roto i te Ariki ki a koutou, kei te mahi koutou, a ka mahi ano i a matou e whakaako nei ki a koutou.
5 But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.
Ma te Ariki hoki e whakatika o koutou ngakau ki te aroha o te Atua, ki te ngakau ata tatari o te Karaiti.
6 Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.
Na, ko ta matou whakahau atu tenei ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, mawehe ke i nga teina katoa e he ana te whakahaere, kahore nei e rite ki a matou whakarerenga iho i roto i a ratou.
7 For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;
E matau na hoki koutou ki nga mea e tika ai ta koutou whakarite ki a matou: kihai hoki i he ta matou whakahaere i roto i a koutou;
8 nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:
Kihai hoki matou i kai noa i te taro i te ringa o tetahi tangata, engari i roto i te mahi nui, i te uaua, me te mahi tonu i te ao, i te po, kei whakataimahatia e matou tetahi o koutou.
9 not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.
Ehara ra i te mea kahore o matou take, engari kia meinga ai matou hei tauria mo koutou, kia rite ai ta koutou ki ta matou.
10 For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.
Ana hoki i a matou e noho ana i a koutou, ko ta matou whakahau tenei ki a koutou, ki te kore tetahi e pai ki te mahi, kaua ia e tukua kia kai.
11 For we hear that [there are] some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.
Kei te rongo hoki matou tera etahi e he ana te whakahaere i roto i a koutou, kahore rawa e mahi, engari e pokanoa ana ki a etahi.
12 Now such we enjoin and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.
Na, ko ta matou ako, ko ta matou whakahau tenei ki aua tangata pera, i roto i to tatou Ariki, i a Ihu Karaiti, me mahi marie ratou, ka kai i a ratou na ake kai.
13 But ye, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.
Ko koutou ia, e oku teina, kei ngakaukore ki te mahi pai.
14 But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;
Na ki te kore tetahi e ngohengohe ki ta matou kupu i tenei pukapuka, kia marama te tohu i a ia, kei piri koutou ki a ia, kia whakama ai ia.
15 and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
Otiia kaua e mea he hoariri ia, engari whakatupatoria, ano he teina.
16 But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.
Na, ma te Ariki pu o te rangimarie e hoatu te rangimarie ki a koutou i nga wa katoa, i nga mea katoa. Kia noho te Ariki ki a koutou katoa.
17 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is [the] mark in every letter; so I write.
Ko te oha aku, a Paora, na toku ringaringa ake, ko te tohu ia i nga pukapuka katoa; he pena taku tuhituhi.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.
Kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou katoa. Amine.
