II THESSALONIANS
Chapter 3
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:1 | Lemaskana (finally), Achim b'Moshiach, daven tefillos for us, that the Dvar Hashem will run and be lifted up in kavod, just as it is also with you, | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:2 | and that we may be delivered from wicked anshei resha, for not all possess the emunah. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:3 | But Ne'eman is Hashem who gives you chozek (strength) and is shomer over you, guarding you from the Evil One. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:4 | And we have bittachon in Hashem concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we have directed. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:5 | Now may Hashem direct your levavot in the ahavat Hashem and into the zitzfleisch of Moshiach. ADMONITION AGAINST SCHNORRERS IN THE KEHILLAH | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:6 | Now we charge you, Achim b'Moshiach, b'Shem Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, to shun association with every one of the Achim b'Moshiach who follows the derech habatlanim (way of idlers) and walks not according to Moshiach's torah that was handed over and transmitted to you and which you received from us. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:7 | For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us as a mofet, a role model, because we were not batlanim among you. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:8 | Nor did we eat lechem (food) from anyone gratis, but in labor and exertion lailah v'yomah we were working for the tachlis of not weighing down any one of you; | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:9 | not because we do not have the zechut (right), but in order that we impart ourselves as a mofet (role model) to you that you might imitate us. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:10 | For even when we were with you, this we used to direct you: that if anyone will not be a melachah (worker), neither let him be an ochel (eater). | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:11 | For we hear that some among you are leading the life of a batlan (loafer), not being busy with a parnasah, but being busybodies with hitarevut (meddlesomeness). | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:12 | Now such persons we are directing and exhort in Moshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu to work with quietness that they may eat their own lechem. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:14 | But if anyone does not obey the gzeira (injunction) in this iggeret (letter), take special notice of that one; do not associate with him, for the purpose of stirring him with a sense of bushah (shame). | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:15 | And do not consider (him) an an oyev (enemy) but warn him as an ach b'Moshiach. FINAL TEFILLAH | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:16 | Now may Elohei haShalom Himself grant you shalom in every way. Hashem be with you all. | |
| II T | OrthJBC | 3:17 | I, Sha'ul, send dirshu bishalom in my own handwriting, which is the distinctive siman (sign) in every iggeret; this is the way I write. | |
