< 2 Thessalonians 2 >
1 As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being gathered to meet him, we beg you, friends,
Atĩrĩrĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ha ũhoro wa gũcooka kwa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ na gũcookanĩrĩrio gwitũ harĩ we, nĩtũkũmũthaitha,
2 not lightly to let your minds become unsettled or disturbed by any revelation, or by any message or letter purporting to come from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is come.
atĩ mũtikahiũhe kwenyenyio kana mũhahũrwo nĩ ũrathi mũna, kana ndũmĩrĩri, o na kana marũa merĩtwo atĩ moimĩte kũrĩ ithuĩ, makoiga atĩ mũthenya wa Mwathani nĩũrĩkĩtie gũkinya.
3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For it will not come before the final rebellion against God, when lawlessness is revealed in human form, headed for destruction.
Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amũheenie o na atĩa, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũcio ndũgaakinya, ũhoro wa kũregana na watho ũtakinyĩte, o nake mũndũ ũrĩa mũregi watho ataguũranĩirio, o ũcio ũtuĩrĩirwo ciira wa kwanangwo.
4 He is the adversary of everything that is spoken of as a god or as an object of worship, enthroning himself in God”s Temple claiming to be God!
Nĩagokĩrĩra na etũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩĩtanĩtio na Ngai na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩhooyagwo, nĩgeetha aikare thĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai, agĩĩtuuaga atĩ we mwene nĩ Ngai.
5 Don’t you remember how, when I was with you, I used to speak to you of all this?
Kaĩ mũtararirikana atĩ rĩrĩa ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ nĩndamwĩraga maũndũ macio?
6 And you know now what the restraining influence is which prevents his appearing before his appointed time.
Na rĩu nĩmũũĩ kĩrĩa kĩgirĩtie mũndũ ũcio ooke na nĩgeetha akaaguũranĩrio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire.
7 Wickedness, indeed, is already at work in secret, but only until he who at present restrains it is removed out of the way.
Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro wa hitho wa kũregana na watho nĩũraruta wĩra; no nĩ kũrĩ ũrĩa ũgirĩrĩirie ũhoro ũcio woneke rĩu, na egũthiĩ na mbere gwĩka ũguo nginya rĩrĩa akeeherio.
8 Then the lawless person will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth, annihilate him by the splendour of his coming.
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mũndũ ũcio mũregi watho akaaguũranĩrio. Mũndũ ũcio nĩwe Mwathani Jesũ akooraga na mĩhũmũ ya kanua gake, na amwanange na riiri wake ũrĩa ũkoonanio nĩ gũcooka gwake.
9 When the lawless person comes, there will be great activity on the part of Satan, in the form of all kinds of deceptive miracles, signs, and marvels, as well as of wicked attempts to delude –
Mũndũ ũcio mũregi watho nĩagooka kũringana na wĩra wa Shaitani ũrĩa wonekaga thĩinĩ wa mĩthemba yothe ya ciama cia maheeni, na marũũri, na morirũ,
10 to the ruin of those who are on the path to destruction, because they have never received and loved the truth to their own salvation.
o na ooke na mĩthemba yothe ya ũmaramari nĩguo aheenie andũ arĩa marĩ njĩra ya kũũra. Moraga tondũ nĩmaregire kwenda ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma nĩguo mahonokio.
11 That is why God places them under the influence of a delusion, to cause them to believe a lie;
Na tondũ ũcio Ngai nĩamarehagĩra ũndũ wa hinya wa kũmahĩtithia, nĩgeetha metĩkie maheeni macio,
12 so that sentence may be passed on all those who refuse to believe the truth, but delight in wickedness.
na nĩgeetha andũ othe matuĩrwo ciira arĩa matetĩkĩtie ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma na makenagĩra maũndũ ma waganu.
13 But, friends, whom the Lord loves, it is our duty always to thank God about you, for, from the first, God chose you for salvation through the purifying influence of the Spirit, and your belief in the truth.
No rĩrĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩgũcookagĩria Ngai ngaatho hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ ũndũ wanyu, inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ mwendetwo nĩ Mwathani, tondũ kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria Ngai nĩamũthuurire mũhonokio nĩ ũndũ wa gũtherio nĩ Roho o na gwĩtĩkia ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
14 To this you were called by the good news which we brought you, to attain to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Aamwĩtĩire ũhoro ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũrĩa twamũhunjĩirie nĩguo mũgĩe na riiri wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
15 Stand firm then, friends, and hold fast to the truths that we taught you, whether by word or by letter.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mwĩhaandei wega na mũrũmie ũrutani ũrĩa twamũrutire, o na akorwo twaririe na kanua kana tũkĩmwandĩkĩra marũa.
16 And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and, in his loving kindness, gave us unfailing consolation and good ground for hope, (aiōnios )
Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ we mwene, o na Ngai Ithe witũ ũrĩa watwendire na agĩtũhe ũũmĩrĩru wa nginya tene na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩega na ũndũ wa Wega wake-rĩ, (aiōnios )
17 console your hearts, and strengthen you to do and to say all that is right.
maroomĩrĩria ngoro cianyu, na mamwĩkĩre hinya thĩinĩ wa ciĩko o na ciugo ciothe njega.
