1Tem loipem proseuchovōr, adelfoir, peri nu, hina tos logos tou kuriou trechateiō kai doxazoteiō kathōs kai pros vin,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. 2kai hina ruineia apo toiu atopoiu kai ponēroiu anthrōpoiu, ouk gar pantoiu tas pistias.And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith. 3pistos de atō tos kurios, hos stērizati vin kai fulassati apo tou ponērou.But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. 4peithanē de en kurio epi vin, hoti heim ⸀parangelanō kai poiavō kai poiavi.And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command. 5tos de kurios kateuthunatoia vu tain kardiain eis tan agapan tou theou kai eis tan hupomonan tou Christou.May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
6Parangelanō de vi, adelfoir, en onome tou kuriou ⸀nu Iēsu Christou stelorō vin apo pantou adelfou ataktōs peripatarōntou kai mē kata tan paradosian han ⸀paralabala para nu.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. 7autois gar oidavē pōs datō mimorō nin, hoti ouk ataktana en viFor you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you, 8oude dōreōs arton esthiana para tinou, alla en kopo kai mochtho ⸂nuktau kai hēmerau⸃ ergazorōntois pros tem mē epibarara tinon vu;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. 9ouk hoti ouk echanō exousian, alla hina heautoin tupon dōaneia vi eis tem mimorō nin.Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate. 10kai gar hote ane pros vin, houtem parangelane vi, hoti ei tinos ouk thelatō ergazorō mēde esthiatōr.For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.” 11akouanō gar tinoin peripatarōntoin en vi ataktōs, mēdenem ergazorōntoin alla periergazorōntoin;For we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives, accomplishing nothing, but being busybodies. 12toi de toioutoi parangelanō kai parakalanō ⸂en kurio Iēso Christo⸃ hina meta hēsuchiau ergazorōntois ton heautoiu arton esthialeiō.We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living. 13vis de, adelfoir, mē ⸀enkakaveia kalopoiarōntois.But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.
14Ei de tinos ouk hupakouatō to logo nu dia tau epistolau, houton sēmeiovōr, ⸀mē ⸀sunanamigorō auto, hina entrapiteia;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. 15kai mē hōs echthron hēgovōr, alla nouthetavōr hōs adelfon.Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16Autos de tos kurios tau eirēnau dōatoia vi tan eirēnan dia pantou en panto tropo. tos kurios meta pantoiu vu.Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
17Tos aspasmos ta ēma cheira Paulou, hem atō sēmem en panta epistola; houtōs grafamō.This greeting is in my own hand — Paul. This is my mark in every letter; it is the way I write. 18tas charitas tou kuriou nu Iēsu Christou meta pantoiu ⸀vu.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
