2 Thessalonians 3

1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.

1 وَبَعْدُ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، صَلُّوا لأَجْلِنَا، لِتَنْتَشِرَ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ بِسُرْعَةٍ وَتَتَمَجَّدَ كَمَا هِيَ الْحَالُ عِنْدَكُمْ،

2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.

2 وَلِيُنْقِذَنَا اللهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ الأَرْدِيَاءِ الأَشْرَارِ، لأَنَّ الإِيمَانَ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَصِيبِ الْجَمِيعِ.

3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.

3 إِلَّا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَمِينٌ؛ فَهُوَ سَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ وَيَحْمِيكُمْ مِنَ الشَّرِّ.

4 And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.

4 وَلَنَا فِي الرَّبِّ مِلْءُ الثِّقَةِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ بِأَنَّكُمْ عَامِلُونَ بِمَا نُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ، وَسَتَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ أَيْضاً.

5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

5 وَلْيَهْدِ اللهُ قُلُوبَكُمْ إِلَى مَا لَدَى اللهِ مِنَ الْمَحَبَّةِ وَلَدَى الْمَسِيحِ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ!

6 Now 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.

6 ثُمَّ نُوصِيكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، بِاسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، أَنْ تَعْتَزِلُوا عَنْ كُلِّ أَخٍ يَسْلُكُ سُلُوكاً فَوْضَوِيًّا، لَا يُوَافِقُ التَّعْلِيمَ الَّذِي تَلَقَّيْتُمُوهُ مِنَّا.

7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,

7 فَأَنْتُمْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ كَيْفَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَقْتَدُوا بِنَا، لأَنَّ سُلُوكَنَا بَيْنَكُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَوْضَوِيًّا،

8 nor 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.

8 وَلا أَكَلْنَا الْخُبْزَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَحَدٍ مَجَّاناً، بَلْ كُنَّا نَشْتَغِلُ بِتَعَبٍ وَكَدٍّ لَيْلَ نَهَارَ، لِكَيْ لَا نَكُونَ عِبْئاً ثَقِيلاً عَلَى أَيِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ.

9 Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

9 وَذَلِكَ لَا يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا حَقٌّ، بَلْ لِنَجْعَلَ أَنْفُسَنَا مِثَالاً لَكُمْ لِتَقْتَدُوا بِنَا.

10 For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”

10 فَلَمَّا كُنَّا عِنْدَكُمْ، أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ بِهَذَا الْمَبْدَأ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشْتَغِلَ، فَلا يَأْكُلْ!

11 For we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives, accomplishing nothing, but being busybodies.

11 وَقَدْ سَمِعْنَا أَنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِينَ يَسْلُكُونَ سُلُوكاً فَوْضَوِيًّا فَلا يَشْتَغِلُونَ شَيْئاً بَلْ يَتَلَهَّوْنَ بِشُؤُونِ غَيْرِهِمْ.

12 We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.

12 فَمِثْلُ هَؤُلاءِ نُوصِيهِمْ وَنُنَاشِدُهُمْ، فِي الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، أَنْ يَكْسِبُوا مَعِيشَتَهُمْ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، مُشْتَغِلِينَ بِهُدُوءٍ.

13 But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.

13 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، فَلا تَمَلُّوا مِنْ عَمَلِ الْخَيْرِ.

14 Take 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.

14 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يُطِيعُ كَلِمَتَنَا فِي هذِهِ الرِّسَالَةِ، فَلاحِظُوهُ وَلا تَتَعَامَلُوا مَعَهُ، لِتَدْفَعُوهُ إِلَى الْخَجَلِ.

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

15 وَلكِنْ، لَا تَعْتَبِرُوهُ عَدُوّاً لَكُمْ، بَلْ أَرْشِدُوهُ بِاعْتِبَارِهِ أَخاً.

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

16 وَلْيُعْطِكُمْ رَبُّ السَّلامِ نَفْسُهُ السَّلامَ عَلَى الدَّوَامِ وَفِي كُلِّ حَالٍ! وَلْيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً!

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

17 هَذَا سَلامِي، أَنَا بُولُسَ، بِخَطِّ يَدِي. وَهُوَ الْعَلامَةُ الْمُمَيِّزَةُ فِي كُلِّ رِسَالَةٍ لِي. فَهكَذَا أَنَا أَكْتُبُ.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.

18 لِتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً!
