| 得撒洛尼後書 |
2 Thessalonians |
| 1此外，弟兄們！請為我們祈禱，好叫主的聖道，也像在你們那裏一樣，順利展開，並得到光榮； |
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may speed forward and be glorified, as it did among you, |
| 2也叫我們脫離壞人與惡人，因為不是人人都有信德。 |
2and that we may be delivered from perverse and wicked people, for not all have faith. |
| 3主是忠信的，他必堅固你們，保護你們免於凶惡。 |
3But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. |
| 4我們在主內信賴你們；你們既然現今實行了我們所吩咐的，將來也必實行。 |
4We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you, you (both) are doing and will continue to do. |
| 5願主指引你們的心去愛天主，並學習基督的堅忍。 |
5May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ. |
| 6弟兄們，我們還因我們的主耶穌基督的名，吩咐你們，要遠離一切游手好閒，或不按得自我們的傳授生活的弟兄。 |
6We instruct you, brothers, in the name of (our) Lord Jesus Christ,to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us. |
| 7你們自己原來知道該怎樣效法我們，因為我們在你們中沒有閒散過， |
7For you know how one must imitate us. For we did not act in a disorderly way among you, |
| 8也沒有白吃過人的飯，而是黑夜白日辛苦勤勞地操作，免得加重你們任何人的負擔。 |
8nor did we eat food received free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery, night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you. |
| 9這不是因為我們沒有權利，而是為以身作則，給你們立榜樣，叫你們效法我們； |
9Not that we do not have the right. Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us. |
| 10並且當我們在你們那裏的時候，早已吩咐過你們：誰若不願意工作，就不應當吃飯， |
10In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat. |
| 11因為我們聽說，你們中有些人游手好閒，什麼也不作，卻好管閒事。 |
11We hear that some are conducting themselves among you in a disorderly way, by not keeping busy but minding the business ofothers. |
| 12我們因主耶穌基督吩咐這樣的人，並勸勉他們安靜工作，吃自己的飯。 |
12Such people we instruct and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and to eat their own food. |
| 13至於你們，弟兄們，行善總不可懈怠。 |
13But you, brothers, do not be remiss in doing good. |
| 14但是如果有人，不聽從我們書信上的話，應把這人記出，不要與他交際來往，好叫他慚愧； |
14If anyone does not obey our word as expressed in this letter, take note of this person not to associate with him, that he may be put to shame. |
| 15可是不要把他當仇敵看待，但要把他當弟兄規勸。 |
15Do not regard him as an enemy but admonish him as a brother. |
| 16願賜平安的主，親自時時處處賜給你們平安！願主與你們眾人同在！ |
16May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. |
| 17我保祿親筆問候，這是我每封信的記號；這是我的字體。 |
17This greeting is in my own hand, Paul's. This is the sign in every letter; this is how I write. |
| 18願我們的主耶穌基督的恩寵與你們眾人同在！ |
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. |
