| 1 ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܪܗܛܐ ܘܡܫܬܒܚܐ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܀ | 1 Concerning other things, brothers, pray for us, so that the Word of God may advance and be glorified, just as it is among you, |
| 2 ܘܕܢܬܦܨܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܥܢܬܐ ܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀ | 2 and so that we may be freed from pertinacious and evil men. For not everyone is faithful. |
| 3 ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܗܘ ܢܢܛܪܟܘܢ ܘܢܫܘܙܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܀ | 3 But God is faithful. He will strengthen you, and he will guard you from evil. |
| 4 ܬܟܝܠܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܥܒܕܝܬܘܢ ܀ | 4 And we have confidence about you in the Lord, that you are doing, and will continue to do, just as we have instructed. |
| 5 ܘܡܪܢ ܢܬܪܘܨ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܡܤܒܪܢܘܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀ | 5 And may the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God and with the patience of Christ. |
| 6 ܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܝܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܐܚܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܡܗܠܟ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܡܢܢ ܀ | 6 But we strongly caution you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to draw yourselves away from every brother who is walking in disorder and not according to the tradition that they received from us. |
| 7 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܬܕܡܝܘ ܒܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܠܟܢ ܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܀ | 7 For you yourselves know the manner in which you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly among you. |
| 8 ܐܦܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܡܓܢ ܐܟܠܢ ܡܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܥܡܠܐ ܘܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܩܪ ܀ | 8 Nor did we eat bread from anyone for free, but rather, we worked night and day, in hardship and weariness, so as not to be burdensome to you. |
| 9 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܢ ܐܠܐ ܕܒܢܦܫܢ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܕܒܢ ܬܬܕܡܘܢ ܀ | 9 It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us. |
| 10 ܐܦ ܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܕܐ ܡܦܩܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܦܠܘܚ ܐܦܠܐ ܢܠܥܤ ܀ | 10 Then, too, while we were with you, we insisted on this to you: that if anyone was not willing to work, neither should he eat. |
| 11 ܫܡܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܝܫ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܀ | 11 For we have heard that there are some among you who act disruptively, not working at all, but eagerly meddling. |
| 12 ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܡܦܩܕܝܢܢ ܘܒܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܫܠܝܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܗܘܢ ܀ | 12 Now we charge those who act in this way, and we beg them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work in silence and eat their own bread. |
| 13 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܀ | 13 And you, brothers, do not grow weak in doing good. |
| 14 ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܡܥ ܠܡܠܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܓܪܬܐ ܢܬܦܪܫ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܬܚܠܛܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܕܢܒܗܬ ܀ | 14 But if anyone does not obey our word by this epistle, take note of him and do not keep company with him, so that he may be ashamed. |
| 15 ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܬܐܚܕܘܢܗ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܪܬܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܐ ܀ | 15 But do not be willing to consider him as an enemy; instead, correct him as a brother. |
| 16 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܗ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܀ | 16 Then may the Lord of peace himself give you an everlasting peace, in every place. May the Lord be with all of you. |
| 17 ܫܠܡܐ ܒܟܬܒܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܟܬܒܬ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܬܐ ܕܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܓܪܬܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܀ | 17 The greeting of Paul with my own hand, which is the seal in every epistle. So do I write. |
| 18 ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܀ | 18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. |
