The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 de cetero fratres orate pro nobis ut sermo Domini currat et clarificetur sicut et apud vos
1
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,
2 et ut liberemur ab inportunis et malis hominibus non enim omnium est fides
2
and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
3 fidelis autem Dominus est qui confirmabit vos et custodiet a malo
3
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
4 confidimus autem de vobis in Domino quoniam quae praecipimus et facitis et facietis
4
And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
5 Dominus autem dirigat corda vestra in caritate Dei et patientia Christi
5
Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
6 denuntiamus autem vobis fratres in nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi ut subtrahatis vos ab omni fratre ambulante inordinate et non secundum traditionem quam acceperunt a nobis
6
But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.
7 ipsi enim scitis quemadmodum oporteat imitari nos quoniam non inquieti fuimus inter vos
7
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;
8 neque gratis panem manducavimus ab aliquo sed in labore et fatigatione nocte et die operantes ne quem vestrum gravaremus
8
nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,
9 non quasi non habuerimus potestatem sed ut nosmet ipsos formam daremus vobis ad imitandum nos
9
not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.
10 nam et cum essemus apud vos hoc denuntiabamus vobis quoniam si quis non vult operari nec manducet
10
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
11 audimus enim inter vos quosdam ambulare inquiete nihil operantes sed curiose agentes
11
For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.
12 his autem qui eiusmodi sunt denuntiamus et obsecramus in Domino Iesu Christo ut cum silentio operantes suum panem manducent
12
Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
13 vos autem fratres nolite deficere benefacientes
13
But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.
14 quod si quis non oboedit verbo nostro per epistulam hunc notate et non commisceamini cum illo ut confundatur
14
And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 et nolite quasi inimicum existimare sed corripite ut fratrem
15
Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 ipse autem Dominus pacis det vobis pacem sempiternam in omni loco Dominus cum omnibus vobis
16
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
17 salutatio mea manu Pauli quod est signum in omni epistula ita scribo
17
The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write.
18 gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi cum omnibus vobis amen
18
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
