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
Ma ihe banyere ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, na nzukọ anyị na ya ga-ezukọta, anyị na-adụsị unu ọdụ ike ụmụnna.
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.
Ka unu ghara ịma jijiji maọbụ ịtụ egwu nʼuche unu nʼihi amụma, maọbụ okwu maọbụ akwụkwọ ozi e dere dị ka o sitere nʼaka anyị, nke na-asị nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị eruola.
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].
Unu ekwela ka onye ọbụla duhie unu nʼụzọ ọbụla, nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ agaghị abịa tutu ruo mgbe oke inupu isi ga-adị, na mgbe a ga-ekpughe onye mmebi iwu ahụ nke a kara akara ịla nʼiyi.
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!
Onye mmebi iwu ahụ ga-ebuli onwe ya elu megide ihe niile a na-akpọ chi maọbụ nke a na-efe ofufe, nke ga-eme ka o dozie onwe ya nʼụlọnsọ Chineke, na-ekwupụta na ya bụ Chineke.
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]
Unu echetaghị ihe m gwara unu nʼoge mụ na unu nọ banyere ya?
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].
Ma ugbu a, unu maara na o nwere onye na-egbochi ya ka ọ hapụ ịpụta ihe. Nʼihi na mgbe ọ ga-apụta bụ mgbe oge ya ruru.
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.
Ma ọrụ nzuzo nke mmebi iwu ebidolarị ugbu a, ma onye ahụ na-egbochi ya ịbabiga ụba oke ga-anọgide na-eme otu a tutu ruo mgbe oge e wezugara ya.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, a ga-eme ka onye mmebi iwu ahụ pụta ìhè, bụ onye Onyenwe anyị Jisọs ga-eji ume ọ ga-esi nʼọnụ ya kupụta laa nʼiyi, ma mee ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa ọzọ site nʼọbịbịa ya.
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].
Ọbịbịa onye mmebi iwu ahụ ga-abụ dị ka ọrụ ekwensu si dị, site nʼike ịrụ ọrụ ebube aghụghọ na ihe ịrịbama dị iche iche, na ọrụ ịtụnanya aghụghọ dị iche iche nke ụgha.
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)
Ya na ụdị ọrụ ọjọọ dị iche iche nke ọ ga-eji duhie ndị ahụ na-ala nʼiyi. Ha ga-ala nʼiyi nʼihi na ha jụrụ ịhụ eziokwu nʼanya ma nwee nzọpụta.
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].
Nʼihi nke a, Chineke ga-ahapụ ha ka e duhie ha, ka ha jiri obi ha niile nabata okwu ụgha ndị a.
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.
Ihe nke a pụtara bụ na ndị niile na-ekweghị nʼeziokwu ahụ ma nwee mmasị nʼajọ omume ka a ga-ama ikpe.
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].
Anyị kwesiri inye Chineke ekele mgbe niile nʼihi unu ụmụnna ndị Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nʼanya. Nʼihi na Chineke esitelarị na mmalite họpụta unu ka unu bụrụ ndị a zọpụtara site nʼọrụ ido nsọ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na site nʼokwukwe unu nʼeziokwu ahụ.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ kpọrọ unu site nʼoziọma anyị ka unu nweta otuto nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
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].
Ya mere, ụmụnna, nọgidenụ nʼozizi ahụ anyị mere ka unu mụta site nʼozizi anyị ziri unu, maọbụ na akwụkwọ anyị deere unu.
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)
Ka Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst nʼonwe ya, na Chineke Nna anyị, onye hụrụ anyị nʼanya, site nʼamara ya nye anyị agbamume dị ebighị ebi na ezi olileanya, (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.
gbaa obi unu ume, ma mee ka unu guzosie ike nʼịrụ ọrụ na ikwukwa ihe niile dị mma.
