2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

paulaḥ silvānastīmathiyaścētināmānō vayam asmadīyatātam īśvaraṁ prabhuṁ yīśukhrīṣṭañcāśritāṁ thiṣalanīkināṁ samitiṁ prati patraṁ likhāmaḥ|

2 Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmāsvanugrahaṁ śāntiñca kriyāstāṁ|

3 I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.

hē bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kr̥tē sarvvadā yathāyōgyam īśvarasya dhanyavādō 'smābhiḥ karttavyaḥ, yatō hētō ryuṣmākaṁ viśvāsa uttarōttaraṁ varddhatē parasparam ēkaikasya prēma ca bahuphalaṁ bhavati|

4 So that I myself am boasting about you among the churches of God, boasting of the stedfastness and faith which you are displaying in all the troubles and afflictions which you are enduring.

tasmād yuṣmābhi ryāvanta upadravaklēśāḥ sahyantē tēṣu yad dhēryyaṁ yaśca viśvāsaḥ prakāśyatē tatkāraṇād vayam īśvarīyasamitiṣu yuṣmābhiḥ ślāghāmahē|

5 They are an evidence of the righteous judgment of God, who will count you worthy of his kingdom, in behalf of which you are even now suffering.

taccēśvarasya nyāyavicārasya pramāṇaṁ bhavati yatō yūyaṁ yasya kr̥tē duḥkhaṁ sahadhvaṁ tasyēśvarīyarājyasya yōgyā bhavatha|

6 For truly God’s justice must render back trouble to those who are troubling you,

yataḥ svakīyasvargadūtānāṁ balaiḥ sahitasya prabhō ryīśōḥ svargād āgamanakālē yuṣmākaṁ klēśakēbhyaḥ klēśēna phaladānaṁ sārddhamasmābhiśca

7 and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

kliśyamānēbhyō yuṣmabhyaṁ śāntidānam īśvarēṇa nyāyyaṁ bhōtsyatē;

8 in flaming fire. Then shall he take vengeance on those who know not God, even on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

tadānīm īśvarānabhijñēbhyō 'smatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādāgrāhakēbhyaśca lōkēbhyō jājvalyamānēna vahninā samucitaṁ phalaṁ yīśunā dāsyatē;

9 They shall suffer punishment, even an eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the brightness of his glorious majesty, (aiōnios g166)

tē ca prabhō rvadanāt parākramayuktavibhavācca sadātanavināśarūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ lapsyantē, (aiōnios g166)

10 when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all believers, on that Day; (for you also believed our testimony).

kintu tasmin dinē svakīyapavitralōkēṣu virājituṁ yuṣmān aparāṁśca sarvvān viśvāsilōkān vismāpayituñca sa āgamiṣyati yatō 'smākaṁ pramāṇē yuṣmābhi rviśvāsō'kāri|

11 To this end I am making my constant prayer for you, beseeching God to make you worthy of your calling, and to fulfil mightily every desire of goodness and effort of faith;

atō'smākam īśvarō yuṣmān tasyāhvānasya yōgyān karōtu saujanyasya śubhaphalaṁ viśvāsasya guṇañca parākramēṇa sādhayatviti prārthanāsmābhiḥ sarvvadā yuṣmannimittaṁ kriyatē,

12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in him, according to the grace of our God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.

yatastathā satyasmākam īśvarasya prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cānugrahād asmatprabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnō gauravaṁ yuṣmāsu yuṣmākamapi gauravaṁ tasmin prakāśiṣyatē|
