¹Pakupedzisira, hama, tinyengetererei, kuti shoko raIshe rimhanye nekukudzwa kunyange sezvinoitwa nemwi;

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,

²uye kuti tisunungurwe kuvanhu vasakarurama nevakaipa; nekuti rutendo harwusi rwevose.

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

³Asi Ishe wakatendeka, uchakusimbisai, nekukuchengetai kune wakaipa.

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

⁴Uye tine chivimbo muna Ishe maererano nemwi, kuti munoita zvinhu zvose zvatinokurairai uye muchazviita.

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

⁵Asi Ishe ngaatungamirire moyo yenyu murudo rwaMwari, nemumoyo murefu waKristu.

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

⁶Zvino tinokurairai hama muzita raIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti muzviraure pahama imwe neimwe inofamba zvisakafanira uye kwete nemirairo yamakagamuchira kwatiri;

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,

⁷Nekuti imwi mumene munoziva kuti munofanira kutitevera sei, nekuti hatina kufamba zvisakafanira pakati penyu;

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

⁸uye hatina kudya chikafu chemunhu pachena, asi takashingaira nekushanda nekutambudzika siku nesikati, kuti tisava mutoro kune umwe wenyu;

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;

⁹kwete nekuti hatina mvumo, asi kuti tipe muenzaniso kwamuri kuti mutitevere.

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

¹⁰Nekuti kunyange pataiva nemwi, takakurairai izvi, kuti: Kana umwe asingadi kushanda, ngaarege kudyawo.

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,

¹¹Nekuti tinonzwa kuti kune vamwe vanofamba pakati penyu zvisakafanira, vasingatongoshandi zvachose, asi vachiita zvisina maturo.

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

¹²Zvino avo vakadaro tinoraira nekukurudzira kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti vashande nekunyarara vadye chikafu chavo.

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

¹³Asi imwi, hama, musaneta pakuita zvakanaka.

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

¹⁴Asi kana ani nani asingateereri shoko redu netsamba iyi, mutarisise munhu uyo, kuti murege kufambidzana naye, kuti anyare;

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,

¹⁵uye musamuidza semuvengi, asi mumuraire sehama.

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

¹⁶Zvino, Ishe werugare amene ngaakupei rugare nguva dzose nemitoo yose. Ishe ngaave nemwi mose.

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

¹⁷Kwaziso neruoko rwangu, ini Pauro, ndicho chiratidzo patsamba dzose; ndinonyora saizvozvo.

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

¹⁸Nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemwi mose. Ameni.

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