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.
Павло, Силуан і Тимофій. Церкві із Солуня в Бозі, нашому Отці, та Господі Ісусі Христі.
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.
Благодать вам і мир від Бога Отця й від Господа Ісуса Христа.
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.
Ми завжди повинні дякувати Богові за вас, брати, як і належить, бо ваша віра зростає й любов одне до одного примножується.
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.
Тому в Божих церквах ми пишаємось вами, вашою терпеливістю й вірою у всіх переслідуваннях та випробуваннях, які ви зносите.
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.
[Це є] свідченням того, що суд Божий справедливий, і завдяки цьому ви будете визнані гідними Царства Божого, за яке й страждаєте.
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.
Бог справді справедливий і відплатить стражданнями тим, хто змушує вас страждати,
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.
а вам – тим, хто страждає, [дасть] відпочинок із нами, коли Господь Ісус з’явиться з неба разом зі Своїми могутніми ангелами,
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.
щоб у полум’яному вогні відплатити тим, хто не знає Бога й не слухається Доброї Звістки нашого Господа Ісуса.
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)
Вони будуть покарані вічним знищенням і будуть відсторонені від обличчя Господа й від слави Його могутності. (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.
Того Дня, коли Він прийде, щоб прославитися через Своїх святих, Він здивує всіх, хто повірив у Нього. [Серед них будете] й ви – ті, хто повірив нашому свідченню.
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].
Тому ми постійно молимося за вас, щоб наш Бог зробив вас гідними [Свого] покликання й щоб Своєю силою здійснив кожне добре бажання й кожне діло, до якого вас спонукає віра,
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.
щоб ім’я нашого Господа Ісуса прославилось у вас, а ви в Ньому, згідно з благодаттю нашого Бога та Господа Ісуса Христа.
