Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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.
1De cetero fratres, orate pro nobis ut sermo Dei currat, et clarificetur, sicut et apud vos:
2And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.
2et ut liberemur ab importunis, et malis hominibus: non enim omnium est fides.
3But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
3Fidelis autem Deus est, qui confirmabit vos, et custodiet a malo.
4And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
4Confidimus autem de vobis, in Domino, quoniam quæ præcepimus, et facitis, et facietis.
5May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
5Dominus autem dirigat corda vestra in caritate Dei, et patientia Christi.
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.
6Denuntiamus autem vobis, fratres, in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, ut subtrahatis vos ab omni fratre ambulante inordinate, et non secundum traditionem, quam acceperunt a nobis.
7For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
7Ipsi enim scitis quemadmodum oporteat imitari nos: quoniam non inquieti fuimus inter vos:
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.
8neque gratis panem manducavimus ab aliquo, sed in labore, et in fatigatione, nocte et die operantes, ne quem vestrum gravaremus.
9Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
9Non quasi non habuerimus potestatem, sed ut nosmetipsos formam daremus vobis ad imitandum nos.
10For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
10Nam et cum essemus apud vos, hoc denuntiabamus vobis: quoniam si quis non vult operari, nec manducet.
11Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.
11Audivimus enim inter vos quosdam ambulare inquiete, nihil operantes, sed curiose agentes.
12We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
12Iis autem, qui ejusmodi sunt, denuntiemus, et obsecramus in Domino Jesu Christo, ut cum silentio operantes, suum panem manducent.
13But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.
13Vos autem, fratres, nolite deficere benefacientes.
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.
14Quod si quis non obedit verbo nostro per epistolam, hunc notate, et ne commisceamini cum illo ut confundatur:
15Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
15et nolite quasi inimicum existimare, sed corripite ut fratrem.
16Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
16Ipse autem Dominus pacis det vobis pacem sempiternam in omni loco. Dominus sit cum omnibus vobis.
17This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
17Salutatio, mea manu Pauli: quod est signum in omni epistola, ita scribo.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
18Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
