¹For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;

¹¶ Heoi, E oku teina, inoi mo matou, kia rere te kupu a te Ariki, kia whai kororia, kia pena me tena i a koutou:

²and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith [is] not [the portion] of all.

²Kia whakaorangia hoki matou i nga tangata poauau, i nga tangata kino: kahore hoki nga tangata katoa e whakapono.

³But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep [you] from evil.

³Otiia e pono ana te Atua, mana koutou e whakau, e tiaki i te tangata kino.

⁴But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.

⁴Na e u ana to matou whakaaro i roto i te Ariki ki a koutou, kei te mahi koutou, a ka mahi ano i a matou e whakaako nei ki a koutou.

⁵But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.

⁵Ma te Ariki hoki e whakatika o koutou ngakau ki te aroha o te Atua, ki te ngakau ata tatari o te Karaiti.

⁶Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

⁶¶ Na, ko ta matou whakahau atu tenei ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, mawehe ke i nga teina katoa e he ana te whakahaere, kahore nei e rite ki a matou whakarerenga iho i roto i a ratou.

⁷For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;

⁷E matau na hoki koutou ki nga mea e tika ai ta koutou whakarite ki a matou: kihai hoki i he ta matou whakahaere i roto i a koutou;

⁸nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:

⁸Kihai hoki matou i kai noa i te taro i te ringa o tetahi tangata, engari i roto i te mahi nui, i te uaua, me te mahi tonu i te ao, i te po, kei whakataimahatia e matou tetahi o koutou.

⁹not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.

⁹Ehara ra i te mea kahore o matou take, engari kia meinga ai matou hei tauria mo koutou, kia rite ai ta koutou ki ta matou.

¹⁰For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.

¹⁰Ana hoki i a matou e noho ana i a koutou, ko ta matou whakahau tenei ki a koutou, ki te kore tetahi e pai ki te mahi, kaua ia e tukua kia kai.

¹¹For we hear that [there are] some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.

¹¹Kei te rongo hoki matou tera etahi e he ana te whakahaere i roto i a koutou, kahore rawa e mahi, engari e pokanoa ana ki a etahi.

¹²Now such we enjoin and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.

¹²Na, ko ta matou ako, ko ta matou whakahau tenei ki aua tangata pera, i roto i to tatou Ariki, i a Ihu Karaiti, me mahi marie ratou, ka kai i a ratou na ake kai.

¹³But *ye*, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.

¹³Ko koutou ia, e oku teina, kei ngakaukore ki te mahi pai.

¹⁴But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;

¹⁴Na ki te kore tetahi e ngohengohe ki ta matou kupu i tenei pukapuka, kia marama te tohu i a ia, kei piri koutou ki a ia, kia whakama ai ia.

¹⁵and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

¹⁵Otiia kaua e mea he hoariri ia, engari whakatupatoria, ano he teina.

¹⁶But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.

¹⁶¶ Na, ma te Ariki pu o te rangimarie e hoatu te rangimarie ki a koutou i nga wa katoa, i nga mea katoa. Kia noho te Ariki ki a koutou katoa.

¹⁷The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is [the] mark in every letter; so I write.

¹⁷Ko te oha aku, a Paora, na toku ringaringa ake, ko te tohu ia i nga pukapuka katoa; he pena taku tuhituhi.

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

¹⁸Kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou katoa. Amine.
