2 Thessalonians 1

1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me. We are sending this letter] to [you]. You are the congregation [of God’s people] in Thessalonica [city]. You belong to God our Father, and you belong to Jesus Christ our Lord.

Paulo, e Silvano, e Timotheo, à igreja dos tessalonicenses, em Deus nosso Pai e no Senhor Jesus Cristo:

2 [We pray that] God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord, [will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to cause you to have inner] peace.

Graça e paz de Deus nosso Pai, e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.

3 [Our] fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought [to thank God for each other, and] specifically it is appropriate/right [that we should thank God for you. We thank him] that you are trusting in [the Lord Jesus] more and more, and that each one of you is loving [each of] the others more and more.

Sempre devemos, irmãos, dar graças a Deus por vós, como é de razão, porquanto a vossa fé cresce muitíssimo e a caridade de cada um de vós abunda de uns para com os outros

4 As a result, we keep proudly telling about you to [other] congregations who [worship] God. [Specifically, we tell them] that you are being steadfast and that you [continue] believing [in the Lord Jesus], even though you are frequently suffering [DOU] as a result of people causing you trouble.

De maneira que nós mesmos nos glóriamos de vós nas igrejas de Deus por causa da vossa paciência e fé, e em todas as vossas perseguições e aflições que suportais;

5 [Your being steadfast] (shows/indicates to) [us] clearly that God will judge [all people] justly. [Specifically, he] will publicly declare that you are worthy [as his people to be in] that place where he will rule [forever, because] you also are suffering as a result of [telling others about letting] God rule your lives.

Prova clara do justo juízo de Deus, para que sejais havidos por dignos do reino de Deus, pelo qual também padeceis;

6 [God will certainly cause trouble for] those people who are troubling you, because he [considers] that it is just that he should punish such people for doing that to you.

Pois é justo diante de Deus que dê em paga tribulação aos que vos atribulam,

7 He also [considers] that it is the right thing to do to reward you who are being troubled, by (giving you relief/causing your suffering to end). He will do that for both you and us when our Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, together with his powerful angels and with blazing fire.

E a vós, que sois atribulados, descanço conosco, quando se manifestar o Senhor Jesus desde o céu com os anjos do seu poder:

8 [Then he will] punish those people who do not [want to] know him and [those] who refuse to heed the message about our Lord Jesus.

Como labareda de fogo, tomando vingança dos que não conhecem a Deus e dos que não obedecem ao evangelho de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo:

9 [Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)

Os quais por castigo, padecerão eterna perdição, ante a face do Senhor e a glória do seu poder, (aiōnios g166)

10 [The Lord Jesus] will do this when he comes [back from heaven] at the time [that God has decided]. As a result, all we who are his people will praise him because of [what he has done for his own] people, and all we believers will marvel at our Lord because of [what he has done. And you will be there, too], because you believed what we testified to you.

Quando vier para ser glorificado nos seus santos, e a fazer-se admirável naquele dia em todos os que crêem (porquanto o nosso testemunho foi crido entre vós).

11 In order that you might [praise Jesus like this], we are also praying very frequently [HYP] for you. We pray that [you will be able to show] our God that you are worthy [to receive] that which he chose [you to receive]. We pray also that he would powerfully enable you to do good in every way that you desire, and that he would also enable you to do powerfully every [good] thing [that you do because] you believe [in Jesus Christ].

Pelo que também rogamos sempre por vós, para que o nosso Deus vos faça dignos da sua vocação, e cumpra todo o desejo da sua bondade, e a obra da fé com poder;

12 [We pray this because we want] you to praise our Lord Jesus, and we want him to honor you. This will happen because God, whom we [worship/serve], and our Lord Jesus Christ will keep acting kindly [toward you] in ways that you do not deserve.

Para que o nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo seja em vós glorificado, e vós nele, segundo a graça de nosso Deus e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.
