Thessalonicenses Ii 3

1 De cetero fratres orate pro nobis ut sermo Dei currat, et clarificetur, sicut et apud vos:

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you;

2 et ut liberemur ab importunis, et malis hominibus: non enim omnium est fides.

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.

3 Fidelis autem Deus est, qui confirmabit vos, et custodiet a malo.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and keep [you] from evil.

4 Confidimus autem de vobis fratres, in Domino, quoniam quaecumque praecepimus, et facitis, et facietis.

And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

5 Dominus autem dirigat corda vestra in charitate Dei, et patientia Christi.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

6 Denunciamus autem vobis fratres in nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi, ut subtrahatis vos ab omni fratre ambulante inordinate, et non secundum traditionem, quam acceperunt a nobis.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received from us.

7 Ipsi enim scitis quemadmodum oporteat imitari nos: quoniam non inquieti fuimus inter vos:

For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

8 neque gratis panem manducavimus ab aliquo, sed in labore, et in fatigatione, nocte et die operantes, ne quem vestrum gravaremus.

Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

9 Non quasi non habuerimus potestatem, sed ut nosmetipsos formam daremus vobis ad imitandum nos.

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves a pattern to you to follow us.

10 Nam et cum essemus apud vos, hoc denunciabamus vobis: quoniam si quis non vult operari, nec manducet.

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11 Audivimus enim inter vos quosdam ambulare inquiete, nihil operantes, sed curiose agentes.

For we hear that there are some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busy-bodies.

12 Iis autem, qui eiusmodi sunt, denunciemus, et obsecramus in Domino Iesu Christo, ut cum silentio operantes, suum panem manducent.

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

13 Vos autem fratres nolite deficere benefacientes.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.

14 Quod si quis non obedit verbo nostro per epistolam, hunc notate, et ne commisceamini cum illo ut confundatur:

And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

15 et nolite quasi inimicum existimare, sed corripite ut fratrem.

Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

16 Ipse autem Deus pacis det vobis pacem sempiternam in omni loco. Dominus sit cum omnibus vobis.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord [be] with you all.

17 Salutatio, mea manu Pauli: quod est signum in omni epistola. ita scribo.

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

18 Gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi cum omnibus vobis. Amen.

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