2 Thessalonians 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
1ʻE Kāinga, ko hono fakaʻosi, mou hūfia ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ke lele atu ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki, pea ongoongolelei ia, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu:
2And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
2Pea koeʻuhi ke fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he kakai taʻeʻatamai mo angakovi: ke ʻoku ʻikai maʻu kotoa pē ʻae tui.
3But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
3Ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻEiki, ʻaia te ne fakatuʻumaʻu pea fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he kovi.
4And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
4Pea ʻoku mau falala ki he ʻEiki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻoku mou fai, pea te mou fai pe, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mau fekau kiate kimoutolu.
5And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
5Pea ke fakahinohino homou loto ʻe he ʻEiki ki he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo e faʻa kātaki ʻa Kalaisi.
6Now 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 of us.
6Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku mau fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he huafa ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke mou mavahe ʻakimoutolu mei he kāinga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻeveʻeva taʻetotonu, pea ʻikai tatau mo e fekau naʻa ne maʻu meiate kimoutolu.
7For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
7He ʻoku mou ʻilo, ʻoku totonu ke mou faʻifaʻitaki kiate kimautolu: he naʻe ʻikai te mau fai taʻetotonu ʻiate kimoutolu;
8Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
8Pe temau kai taʻetotongi ʻae mā ʻa ha tokotaha; ka naʻa mau fai ʻae ngaue mo feinga ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mau fakamasivaʻi ha taha ʻokimoutolu:
9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
9Ka naʻe ʻikai koeʻuhi ʻoku taʻetotonu kiate kimautolu, ka ke mau hoko ko e fakaʻilonga ke mou faʻifaʻitaki kiate kimautolu.
10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
10Ka ʻi he ʻemau ʻiate kimoutolu, naʻa mau fekau eni kiate kimoutolu, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fie ngaue ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻa ne kai.”
11For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
11He ʻoku mau fanongo ki ha niʻihi ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻeveʻeva taʻetotonu, ʻo ʻikai siʻi ngaue, ka ko e kau kaunoa.
12Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
12Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku pehē, ʻoku mau fekaua mo enginaki, ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke nau ngaue fakalongo pe, pea kai ʻae maʻanautolu pe.
13But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
13Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻoua naʻa mou fiu ʻi he fai lelei.
14And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
14Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai talangofua ha taha ki he ʻemau fekau ʻi he tohi ni, fakaʻilongaʻi ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ʻoua naʻa fakataha mo ia, koeʻuhi ke mā ai ia.
15Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
15Kae ʻoua naʻa lau ia ko e fili, kae valokiʻi ʻo taau mo ha kāinga.
16Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
16Ko eni, ʻofa ke foaki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻoe melino ʻae melino maʻuaipē kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻEiki.
17The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
17Ko e tohi ʻofa eni ʻa Paula ʻaki hoku nima ʻoʻoku, ʻaia ko e fakaʻilonga ʻi he ngaahi tohi kotoa pē: ʻoku pehē pe ʻeku tohi.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
18Ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē. ʻEmeni.
