¹ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܪܗܛܐ ܘܡܫܬܒܚܐ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

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

²ܘܕܢܬܦܨܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܥܢܬܐ ܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

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

³ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܗܘ ܢܢܛܪܟܘܢ ܘܢܫܘܙܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܀

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

⁴ܬܟܝܠܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܥܒܕܝܬܘܢ ܀

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

⁵ܘܡܪܢ ܢܬܪܘܨ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܡܤܒܪܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

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

⁶ܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܝܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܚܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܡܗܠܟ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܡܢܢ ܀

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.

⁷ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܬܕܡܝܘ ܒܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܠܟܢ ܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܀

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

⁸ܐܦܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܡܓܢ ܐܟܠܢ ܡܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܥܡܠܐ ܘܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܩܪ ܀

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;

⁹ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܦܫܢ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܕܒܢ ܬܬܕܡܘܢ ܀

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

¹⁰ܐܦ ܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܕܐ ܡܦܩܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܦܠܘܚ ܐܦܠܐ ܢܠܥܤ ܀

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

¹¹ܫܡܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܀

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

¹²ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܘܒܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܫܠܝܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܗܘܢ ܀

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.

¹³ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܀

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

¹⁴ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܡܥ ܠܡܠܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܓܪܬܐ ܢܬܦܪܫ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܬܚܠܛܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܀

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.

¹⁵ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܬܐܚܕܘܢܗ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܪܬܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܐ ܀

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

¹⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܗ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܀

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

¹⁷ܫܠܡܐ ܒܟܬܒܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܟܬܒܬ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܬܐ ܕܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܓܪܬܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁸ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܀

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