¹Napokon, bratia, len sa modlite za nás, aby bežalo slovo Pánovo a bolo aj inde oslavované jako aj u vás,

¹As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with you,

²a aby sme boli vytrhnutí z moci premrštených a zlých ľudí. Lebo viera nie je vecou všetkých.

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

³Ale Pán je verný, ktorý vás upevní a strážiac zachová od zlého.

³and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard [you] from the evil;

⁴A dôverujeme v Pánovi o vás, že to, čo vám prikazujeme, aj robíte aj robiť budete.

⁴and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;

⁵A Pán nech ráči upraviť vaše srdcia k láske Božej a k trpezlivosti Kristovej.

⁵and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

⁶A prikazujeme vám, bratia, v mene nášho Pána Ježiša Krista, aby ste sa stránili každého brata, ktorý sa neriadne správa a nie podľa podania, ktoré dostal od nás.

⁶And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,

⁷Lebo sami viete, jako nás treba nasledovať lebo sme sa nesprávali neriadne medzi vami

⁷for yourselves have known how it behoveth [you] to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

⁸ani sme zadarmo od nikoho nejedli chleba, ale v práci a námahe pracujúc dňom i nocou, aby sme neboli nikomu z vás na ťarchu;

⁸nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

⁹nie, že by sme nemali práva na to, ale aby sme vám dali seba za príklad, aby ste nás nasledovali.

⁹not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

¹⁰Lebo aj keď sme boli u vás, to sme vám prikazovali, že ak niekto nechce pracovať, nech ani nejie.

¹⁰for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

¹¹Lebo čujeme, že sa niektorí neriadne správajú medzi vami; že nič nerobia, ale sa všetečne pletú do toho, do čoho im netreba.

¹¹for we hear of certain walking among you disorderly, nothing working, but over working,

¹²Takým prikazujeme a napomíname ich skrze nášho Pána Ježiša Krista, aby s tichosťou pracovali a tak jedli svoj vlastný chlieb.

¹²and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

¹³A vy, bratia, neustaňte robiac dobre.

¹³and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

¹⁴Ale ak niekto neposlúcha nášho slova, podaného listom, toho si poznamenajte a nesdávať sa s ním, aby sa zahanbil,

¹⁴and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

¹⁵a nepovažujte ho za nepriateľa, ale ho napomínajte ako brata.

¹⁵and as an enemy count [him] not, but admonish ye [him] as a brother;

¹⁶A on sám, Pán pokoja, nech vám ráči dať pokoj každého času každým spôsobom. Pán nech je so všetkými vami!

¹⁶and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord [is] with you all!

¹⁷Pozdrav mojou vlastnou rukou Pavlovou, čo je znakom v každom liste; tak píšem.

¹⁷The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; thus I write;

¹⁸Milosť našeho Pána Ježiša Krista nech je so všetkými vami! Ameň.

¹⁸the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen.
