< 2 Thessalonians 2 >
1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,
ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ϩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
2 not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come.
ⲃ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϧⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed.
ⲅ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
4 He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲓⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲓⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲉ.
5 Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?
ⲉ̅⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲓ ⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
6 And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲏ ⲟⲩ.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲓⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲥⲉⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲗⲟϫϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲣⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲕⲟⲣϥϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲓ.
9 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,
ⲑ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ϫⲟⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ.
10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡϭⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲉⲡ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
11 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲫϯ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ.
12 in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩϯⲙⲁϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧϭⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ.
13 But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

14 To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope, (aiōnios )
