2 Tesalonickým 1

1 Pavel a Silván a Timoteus církvi Tessalonicenské v Bohu Otci našem a v Pánu Ježíši Kristu:

[I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me. We are sending this letter] to [you]. You are the congregation [of God’s people] in Thessalonica [city]. You belong to God our Father, and you belong to Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Milost vám a pokoj od Boha Otce našeho a od Pána Jezukrista.

[We pray that] God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord, [will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to cause you to have inner] peace.

3 Povinniť jsme díky činiti Bohu vždycky z vás, bratří, tak jakž hodné jest, protože velmi roste víra vaše a rozmáhá se láska jednoho každého z vás, všechněch k sobě vespolek,

[Our] fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought [to thank God for each other, and] specifically it is appropriate/right [that we should thank God for you. We thank him] that you are trusting in [the Lord Jesus] more and more, and that each one of you is loving [each of] the others more and more.

4 Takže my se vámi v sbořích Božích chlubíme, vaší trpělivostí a věrou ve všech protivenstvích a souženích, kteráž snášíte;

As a result, we keep proudly telling about you to [other] congregations who [worship] God. [Specifically, we tell them] that you are being steadfast and that you [continue] believing [in the Lord Jesus], even though you are frequently suffering [DOU] as a result of people causing you trouble.

5 Kterážto jsou zjevný důvod spravedlivého soudu Božího, abyste tak za hodné jmíni byli království Božího, pro něž i trpíte,

[Your being steadfast] (shows/indicates to) [us] clearly that God will judge [all people] justly. [Specifically, he] will publicly declare that you are worthy [as his people to be in] that place where he will rule [forever, because] you also are suffering as a result of [telling others about letting] God rule your lives.

6 Poněvadž spravedlivé jest u Boha, aby zase odplaceno bylo těm, kteříž vás sužují, soužením,

[God will certainly cause trouble for] those people who are troubling you, because he [considers] that it is just that he should punish such people for doing that to you.

7 Vám pak, úzkost trpícím, aby dáno bylo odpočinutí s námi, při zjevení Pána Ježíše s nebe, s anděly moci jeho,

He also [considers] that it is the right thing to do to reward you who are being troubled, by (giving you relief/causing your suffering to end). He will do that for both you and us when our Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, together with his powerful angels and with blazing fire.

8 V plameni ohně, kterýž pomstu uvede na ty, jenž neznají Boha a neposlouchají evangelium Pána našeho Jezukrista,

[Then he will] punish those people who do not [want to] know him and [those] who refuse to heed the message about our Lord Jesus.

9 Kteříž pomstu ponesou, věčné zahynutí, zahnáni jsouce od tváři Páně a od slávy moci jeho, (aiōnios g166)

[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)

10 Když přijde, aby oslaven byl v svatých svých a předivný ukázal se ve všech věřících, (nebo uvěřeno jest svědectví našemu u vás, ) v onen den.

[The Lord Jesus] will do this when he comes [back from heaven] at the time [that God has decided]. As a result, all we who are his people will praise him because of [what he has done for his own] people, and all we believers will marvel at our Lord because of [what he has done. And you will be there, too], because you believed what we testified to you.

11 Pročež i modlíme se vždycky za vás, aby vás hodné učiniti ráčil povolání toho Bůh náš a vyplnil všecku dobře libou vůli dobrotivosti své, i skutek víry mocně,

In order that you might [praise Jesus like this], we are also praying very frequently [HYP] for you. We pray that [you will be able to show] our God that you are worthy [to receive] that which he chose [you to receive]. We pray also that he would powerfully enable you to do good in every way that you desire, and that he would also enable you to do powerfully every [good] thing [that you do because] you believe [in Jesus Christ].

12 Aby oslaveno bylo jméno Pána našeho Jezukrista v vás a vy v něm, podle milosti Boha našeho a Pána Jezukrista.

[We pray this because we want] you to praise our Lord Jesus, and we want him to honor you. This will happen because God, whom we [worship/serve], and our Lord Jesus Christ will keep acting kindly [toward you] in ways that you do not deserve.
