2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

Pea ko eni, ʻoku mau kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi he hāʻele mai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea mo ʻetau kātoa fakataha kiate ia,

2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of the Lord had come.

Ke ʻoua naʻa ueʻi ngofua homou loto, pe puputuʻu, ʻi ha laumālie, pe ʻi ha lea, pe ʻi ha tohi ʻo hangē ʻoku meiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Kalaisi.

3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

‌ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha: koeʻuhi [ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae ʻaho ko ia], ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai tomuʻa hoko ʻae liliu kovi, pea fakahā ʻae tangata ʻoe angahala, ko e foha ʻoe malaʻia;

4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

‌ʻAia ʻoku angatuʻu pea fakahikihiki ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ui ko e ʻOtua, pe ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae hū; pea ʻoku nofo ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo fakahā ia ko e ʻOtua.

5 Do you not remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou manatu, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻiate kimoutolu, ne u fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?

6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

Pea ʻoku mou ʻilo eni ʻaia ʻoku ne taʻofia, kaeʻoua ke fakahā ia ʻi hono kuonga.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

He ʻoku ngaue ni ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻoe angahala: ka ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku taʻofi, kaeʻoua ke toʻo atu ia.

8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

Pea ʻe toki fakahā ʻae taha Angakovi, ʻaia ʻe fakaʻosiʻosi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻaki ʻae mānava ʻo hono fofonga, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻi he malama ʻo ʻene hāʻele mai.

9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Ko ia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻo tatau mo e ngaue ʻa Sētane ʻi he mālohi lahi, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo loi,

10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Pea mo e kākā kotoa pē ʻoe taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻauha; ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa ki he moʻoni, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui ai.

11 And because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻe fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he mālohi ʻoe kākā, ke nau tui ki he loi:

12 in order that all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Pea ke fakamalaʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tui ki he moʻoni, ka nau fiemālie ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni.

13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

Ka ʻoku totonu ʻemau fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga ʻofeina ʻi he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi kuo fili ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua talu mei he kamataʻanga ki he fakamoʻui ʻi he fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻe he Laumālie, mo e tui ki he moʻoni:

14 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

‌ʻAia naʻa ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai ʻi homau ongoongolelei, ke mou lavaʻi ʻae nāunau ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

15 So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, mou tuʻumaʻu, ʻo kuku mau ʻae ngaahi akonaki ʻaia naʻe akonekina ai ʻakimoutolu, pe ko ha meʻa ʻi he malanga, pe ʻi heʻemau tohi.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us everlasting comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

Pea ko eni, ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi pe, mo e ʻOtua, ko ʻetau Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofeina ʻakitautolu, ʻo ne foaki mai ʻae fiemālie taʻengata mo e ʻamanaki lelei ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, (aiōnios g166)

17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

Ke ne fakafiemālie ki homou loto, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea mo e ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
