2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now [I want to write to you] about the time when our Lord Jesus Christ will return and when [God] will gather us together to [where Jesus] is. My fellow believers, I urge you
Ann konsidere lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va parèt pou l' sanble nou ansanm bò kote li. Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou:
2 that you think calmly [about any message] that [claims/says] that the Lord has [already] come again. Do not be shaken or alarmed/worried by any such message. [It does not matter] if [it is a message that someone claims God’s Spirit] revealed to him, or if [it is some other message that someone] has spoken, or whether [it is a message that someone claims] that I wrote in a letter.
Pa kite pesonn twouble lespri nou fasil, ni fè nou pèdi tèt nou ak ankenn mesaj ki swadizan soti nan Bondye, ni ak ankenn bèl diskou, ni ak ankenn lèt mwen ta swadizan ekri nou, pou yo fè nou kwè jou Seyè a rive deja.
3 Do not allow anyone to deceive you in any way [with the result that you believe any such message]. 2 Thessalonians 2:3b-5 [The Lord] will not come [MTY] [immediately]. First, [many people] [PRS] will rebel [against God]. The result of their rebelling will be that [they will accept and obey] the man who will sin very greatly [against God].
Pa kite pesonn twonpe nou nan ankenn jan. Paske, anvan jou sa a rive, gen yon dènye revòlt kont Bondye ki pou fèt. Nou gen pou nou wè mechan ki deja kondannen pou disparèt la vini anvan.
4 He will be the [supreme] enemy [of God]. He will [proudly] exalt himself above everything that [people] consider to be some god and above everything that people worship. [As a result of wanting people to worship him], he will [even enter] God’s Temple and sit down [there to rule]. He will publicly proclaim that he himself is God! But [God] will [certainly] punish that man forever!
Mechan sa a ap kanpe, l'ap pran pozisyon kont tout bagay lèzòm ap sèvi, kont tout bagay lèzòm konsidere pou Bondye. La fè, la fè, jouk la antre nan tanp Bondye a, la chita, la fè tèt li pase pou Bondye.
5 (I am sure that you remember that I kept telling you these things while I was still with you [there in Thessalonica]./Do you not remember that I continued telling you these things while I was still with you [there in Thessalonica]?) [RHQ]
Nou pa chonje mwen te di nou sa lè m' te lakay nou toujou?
6 You also know that there is something (OR, someone) that is preventing this man [from being revealed] {[from revealing himself]}. This man is being (held back/restrained) [now] for him to be revealed {that he reveal himself} at the time that [God has planned] [MTY].
Men, gen yon bagay k'ap anpeche levènman sa yo rive koulye a. Nou konnen kisa li ye: Se sak fè, mechan an p'ap parèt anvan lè li.
7 [Although Satan] is already secretly causing [people] to reject [God’s] laws, (the one/God) who is preventing [this man from revealing himself] now [will continue to prevent him from doing that] until he/[God] removes him.
Wi, pouvwa mechan an deja ap travay anba chal. Men, anvan pou levènman sa yo rive, se pou moun k'ap ba l' baryè a disparèt.
8 It is then that [God will allow] this man, who rejects [God’s] laws [completely], to be revealed {to reveal himself}. Then the Lord Jesus will destroy him, by simply commanding it [MTY]. Jesus, by his own glorious arrival, will cause him to become [completely] powerless.
Lè sa a, mechan an va parèt. Seyè Jezi va soufle ak bouch li sou li, la touye li. L'ap annik parèt nan tout pouvwa li pou l' fini nèt ak li.
9 But [before Jesus destroys him], Satan will make him very powerful. As a result, he [will do all kinds of supernatural] miracles and amazing things [DOU] that will seem as though [God has enabled him to do them].
Mechan an va vini ak tout pouvwa Satan an. Li va fè anpil mirak, anpil mèvèy ak anpil gwo siy pou bay manti.
10 And by doing wicked [things], he will completely deceive those who will [certainly] (perish/go to hell). [He will deceive them] because they will have refused to love the true [message]. So they will not be saved {God will not save them}. (questioned)
Li va fè tout kalite bagay mal pou twonpe moun k'ap pèdi tèt yo. Y'ap pèdi tèt yo paske yo pa asepte verite ki pou ta sove yo a, yo pa renmen li.
11 So, God, by his power, will enable this man to easily deceive people, so that they will believe what [this man] falsely [claims/says that he is].
Se poutèt sa, Bondye ap voye yon pouvwa k'ap travay pou egare yo pi rèd, pou yo sa kwè nan manti.
12 The result will be that everyone will be [rightly] condemned {that [God] will [justly] condemn everyone} [to be punished] who did not believe the true [message], but who instead gladly chose [to be doing] what is wicked.
Konsa, tout moun ki p'ap kwè nan verite a, ki te pran plezi yo nan fè lenjistis, yo tout pral kondannen.
13 [Our] fellow believers, whom our Lord [Jesus] loves, we thank God very frequently for you. It is appropriate/right for us to do that, because God chose you (from the beginning [MTY] [of creation/before the world existed]) in order that he might save [you] as a result of [your] believing the true [message] and as a result of [God’s] Spirit setting you apart [for God].
Se yon devwa pou mwen pou m' pa janm sispann di Bondye mèsi pou nou, frè m' yo, nou menm Seyè a renmen. Paske, Bondye chwazi nou pou nou ka premye moun ki pou delivre, gremesi pouvwa Sentespri ki fè nou tounen moun pa l', paske nou kwè nan verite a.
14 [We thank God that] he chose you as a result of our [proclaiming] the message about Christ [to you], in order that you might (share in/have) some of the glory that our Lord Jesus Christ has.
Gremesi bon nouvèl mwen te anonse nou an, Bondye chwazi nou pou nou ka resevwa pa nou nan lwanj ki pou Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
15 So, [our fellow believers, continue to be firm concerning what you believe]; that is, continue believing the [true] teaching that we gave to you by our speaking to you and by our [writing] a letter [to you].
Se sa ki fè, frè m' yo, se pou nou kenbe fèm. Pa bliye tou sa nou te aprann nan bouch mwen ak nan lèt mwen an.
16 Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios g166)
M'ap lapriyè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ansanm ak Bondye, Papa nou ki renmen nou, ki fè nou favè, ki ban nou yon kouraj ki p'ap janm febli ansanm ak yon bèl espwa. (aiōnios g166)
17 [We strongly pray that] God and Jesus together will encourage you! And we pray that they will cause you to continue doing and saying things that God considers to be good.
M'ap mande yo pou yo fòtifye kè nou, pou yo ban nou fòs kouraj pou nou fè tou sa ki byen, pou nou di tou sa ki byen.
