2 Thessalonians 2
1 NOW we entreat you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him:
he bhrātaraḥ, asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanaṁ tasya samīpe 'smākaṁ saṁsthitiñcādhi vayaṁ yuṣmān idaṁ prārthayāmahe,
2 that ye be not hastily agitated with apprehension, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by discourse, nor by letter, as coming from us, as though the day of the Lord was instantly approaching.
prabhestad dinaṁ prāyeṇopasthitam iti yadi kaścid ātmanā vācā vā patreṇa vāsmākam ādeśaṁ kalpayan yuṣmān gadati tarhi yūyaṁ tena cañcalamanasa udvignāśca na bhavata|
3 Let no man deceive you in any way: because that cannot be till the apostasy come first, and the man of sin appear, the son of perdition,
kenāpi prakāreṇa ko'pi yuṣmān na vañcayatu yatastasmād dināt pūrvvaṁ dharmmalopenopasyātavyaṁ,
4 who opposeth himself against, and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or is the object of adoration; so that he in the temple of God sitteth as God, exhibiting himself in public that he is God.
yaśca jano vipakṣatāṁ kurvvan sarvvasmād devāt pūjanīyavastuśconnaṁsyate svam īśvaramiva darśayan īśvaravad īśvarasya mandira upavekṣyati ca tena vināśapātreṇa pāpapuruṣeṇodetavyaṁ|
5 Do ye not remember that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
yadāhaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhāvāsaṁ tadānīm etad akathayamiti yūyaṁ kiṁ na smaratha?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his own time.
sāmprataṁ sa yena nivāryyate tad yūyaṁ jānītha, kintu svasamaye tenodetavyaṁ|
7 For the mystery of iniquity is already powerfully working; only he that withholdeth hitherto, will do so till he is removed.
vidharmmasya nigūḍho guṇa idānīmapi phalati kintu yastaṁ nivārayati so'dyāpi dūrīkṛto nābhavat|
8 And then that lawless person will appear, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming;
tasmin dūrīkṛte sa vidharmmyudeṣyati kintu prabhu ryīśuḥ svamukhapavanena taṁ vidhvaṁsayiṣyati nijopasthitestejasā vināśayiṣyati ca|
9 whose appearing is known by fanatical energy, displayed in all power, and signs, and lying miracles,
śayatānasya śaktiprakāśanād vināśyamānānāṁ madhye sarvvavidhāḥ parākramā bhramikā āścaryyakriyā lakṣaṇānyadharmmajātā sarvvavidhapratāraṇā ca tasyopasthiteḥ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati;
10 and in every unrighteous delusion among those who perish: in consequence of which things they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
yato hetoste paritrāṇaprāptaye satyadharmmasyānurāgaṁ na gṛhītavantastasmāt kāraṇād
11 And for this cause God shall send unto them the energy of delusion, that they should believe a lie:
īśvareṇa tān prati bhrāntikaramāyāyāṁ preṣitāyāṁ te mṛṣāvākye viśvasiṣyanti|
12 that they all might be damned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.
yato yāvanto mānavāḥ satyadharmme na viśvasyādharmmeṇa tuṣyanti taiḥ sarvvai rdaṇḍabhājanai rbhavitavyaṁ|
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath elected you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and faith in the truth:
he prabhoḥ priyā bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kṛta īśvarasya dhanyavādo'smābhiḥ sarvvadā karttavyo yata īśvara ā prathamād ātmanaḥ pāvanena satyadharmme viśvāsena ca paritrāṇārthaṁ yuṣmān varītavān
14 whereunto also he called you by our gospel, in order to your acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
tadarthañcāsmābhi rghoṣitena susaṁvādena yuṣmān āhūyāsmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tejaso'dhikāriṇaḥ kariṣyati|
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and firmly hold the injunctions delivered to you, as ye have been taught, whether by our discourse, or by letter.
ato he bhrātaraḥ yūyam asmākaṁ vākyaiḥ patraiśca yāṁ śikṣāṁ labdhavantastāṁ kṛtsnāṁ śikṣāṁ dhārayantaḥ susthirā bhavata|
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God, and Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
asmākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭastāta īśvaraścārthato yo yuṣmāsu prema kṛtavān nityāñca sāntvanām anugraheṇottamapratyāśāñca yuṣmabhyaṁ dattavān (aiōnios g166)
17 comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
sa svayaṁ yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇāni sāntvayatu sarvvasmin sadvākye satkarmmaṇi ca susthirīkarotu ca|
