2 Thessalonians 2
1 And we ask you, brothers, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together to Him,
Rogamus autem vos fratres per adventum Domini nostri Iesu Christi, et nostrae congregationis in ipsum:
2 that you are not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the Day of the LORD has arrived;
ut non cito moveamini a vestro sensu, neque terreamini, neque per spiritum, neque per sermonem, neque per epistolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Domini.
3 do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because if the departure may not come first, the man of lawlessness may [not] be revealed—the son of destruction,
Nequis vos seducat ullo modo: quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum, et revelatus fuerit homo peccati, filius perditionis,
4 who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called god or worshiped, so as for him to have sat down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he is God.
qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.
5 Do you not remember that, yet being with you, I said these things to you?
Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, haec dicebam vobis?
6 And now, you have known what is restraining, for his being revealed in his own time,
Et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.
7 for the secret of lawlessness already works, only the [One] now restraining [will do so] until He may come out of [the] midst,
Nam mysterium iam operatur iniquitatis: tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.
8 and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the LORD will consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and will nullify at the appearance of His coming,
Et tunc revelabitur ille iniquus, quem Dominus Iesus interficiet spiritu oris sui, et destruet illustratione adventus sui eum:
9 whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
cuius est adventus secundum operationem satanae in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,
10 and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their being saved,
et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis, qui pereunt: eo quod charitatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.
11 and because of this God will send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,
Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,
12 that they may be judged—all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.
ut iudicentur omnes, qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
13 And we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, beloved by the LORD, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,
Nos autem debemus gratias agere Deo semper pro vobis fratres dilecti a Deo, quod elegerit vos Deus primitias in salutem in sanctificatione spiritus, et in fide veritatis:
14 to which He called you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;
in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriae Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
15 so, then, brothers, stand fast, and hold the traditions that you were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;
Itaque fratres state: et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
16 and may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us, and gave continuous comfort, and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)
Ipse autem Dominus noster Iesus Christus, et Deus et Pater noster, qui dilexit nos, et dedit consolationem aeternam, et spem bonam in gratia, (aiōnios g166)
17 comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere, et sermone bono.
