2 VaTesaronika 3

¹Pakupedzisira, hama dzangu, mutinyengeterere, kuti shoko raShe ripfuvure, rikudzwe, sezvazvinoitwa kwenyu vo;Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

²vuye, kuti tisunungurwe kuvanhu vasakarurama, vakaipa; nokuti havazi vose vanotenda.And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

³Asi Ishe ndiye wakatendeka, uchakusimbisai, nokukuchengetai kunowakaipa.But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

⁴Tinokutendai munaShe, kuti munoita, vuye mucharamba muchiita,izvo zvatinokurairai.And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

⁵Ishe ngaaruramise moyo yenyu murudo rwaMwari, nomukutsungirira kwaKristu.And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

⁶Zvino, hama dzangu, tinokurairai nezita raShe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti mubve pahama imwe neimwe isingafambi netsika dzakafanira, isingatereri mirairo yamakapiwa nesu;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 of us.

⁷nokuti imi munoziva mumene, kuti munofanira kutitevera isu, nokuti hatina kufamba netsika dzisakafanira pakati penyu;For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

⁸hatina kutongodya zvokudya zvomunhu tisingaripi, asi takabate basa vusiku namasikati, tichitambudzika nokushingaira, kuti tirege kuremedza mumwe wenyu;Neither 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:

⁹hakuzi kuti hatinesimba, asi kuti tikutungamirirei, mutitevere.Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

¹⁰Nokuti, nenguva yataiva kwamuri, takakurairai izvozvo, kuti kana munhu achiramba kubate-basa, ngaarege kudya vo.For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

¹¹Nokuti tinonzwa kuti vamwe pakati penyu havafambi netsika dzakafanira, vasina chavanobata, vasingaregi zvavamwe.For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

¹²Vanhu vakadaro tinovaraira nokukumbira kwavari munaShe Jesu Kristu, kuti vabate nokunyarara vadye zvokudya zvavo zvimene.Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

¹³Asi imi, hama dzangu, musaneta pakuita zvakanaka.But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

¹⁴Kana panomunhu usingatereri shoko redu remwadhi iyi, mutarisise munhu uyo, kuti murege kufambidzana naye, anyadzwiswe.And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

¹⁵Regai henyu kumuidza muvengi, asi mumuraire sehama.Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

¹⁶Zvino, Ishe worugare amene ngaakupei rugare misi yose nemitovo yose. Ishe ngaave nemi mose.Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

¹⁷Ndiko kukwazisa kwangu, ini Pauro, noruvoko rwangu, ndicho chiratidzo pamwadhi dzose; ndinonyora kudai,The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

¹⁸Nyasha dzaShe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemi mose. Ameni.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
