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

¹Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;

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

²and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.

³Asi Ishe wakatendeka, uchakusimbisai, nekukuchengetai kune wakaipa.

³But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

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

⁴We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

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

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

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

⁶Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

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

⁷For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

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

⁸neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you;

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

⁹not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

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

¹⁰For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.”

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

¹¹For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies.

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

¹²Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

¹³Asi imwi, hama, musaneta pakuita zvakanaka.

¹³But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing well.

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

¹⁴If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

¹⁵uye musamuidza semuvengi, asi mumuraire sehama.

¹⁵Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

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

¹⁶Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

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

¹⁷The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.

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

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