1Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.
1ⲧⲟ ⲗⲟⲓⲡⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ϭⲟϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉϥϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
2And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.
2ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲫⲁ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
3But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
3⳿ϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ.
4And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
4ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲑⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ.
5May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
5Ⲡ⳪ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
6Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.
6ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲧⲏ ⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ.
7For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
7⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲥⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
8nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
8ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲓⲛϫⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲁϩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
9Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
9ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲏⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
10For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
10ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ.
11Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.
11ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲓⲉⲣⲅⲟⲥ.
12We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
12ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱⲓⲕ.
13But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.
13⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲕⲓⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ.
14Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

15Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

16Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

17This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
