2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, do pray, brothers, for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and may 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 perverse and evil men; not for all [are] of the faith.
Kia whakaorangia hoki matou i nga tangata poauau, i nga tangata kino: kahore hoki nga tangata katoa e whakapono.
3 faithful however is the Lord, who will strengthen you and He will keep [you] from evil.
Otiia e pono ana te Atua, mana koutou e whakau, e tiaki i te tangata kino.
4 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.
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 And the Lord would direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of 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 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.
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 Yourselves for you know how it behooves [you] to imitate us; because not we were idle 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 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;
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 not we have [the] right, but that ourselves [as] an example we may offer to you for you to imitate 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 Even for when we were with you, this we were commanding you that if anyone not is willing to work neither he should 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 We hear for some are walking among you idly, not at all working but being 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 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.
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 you yourselves now, brothers, not may grow weary [in] well-doing.
Ko koutou ia, e oku teina, kei ngakaukore ki te mahi pai.
14 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;
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 yet not as an enemy do esteem [him], but do admonish [him] as a brother.
Otiia kaua e mea he hoariri ia, engari whakatupatoria, ano he teina.
16 Himself now the Lord of peace would give you peace through all [times] in every way. The Lord [be] with all of you.
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 greeting in my own hand — by Paul, which is [my] sign in every letter; In this manner 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 the Lord of us Jesus Christ [be] with all of you (Amen. *KO) (to Thessalonica second it was written from Athens *K)
Kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou katoa. Amine.
