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.

Pavel in Silvan in Timotej občini Tesaloničanov v Bogu očetu našem in Gospodu Jezusu Kristusu:

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.

Milost vam in mir od Boga očeta našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.

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.

Zahvaljevati se dolžni smo Bogu vedno za vas, bratje, kakor je spodobno, ker se močno množi vera vaša, in raste ljubezen vsakega izmed vas vseh med seboj;

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.

Tako da se mi sami hvalimo za vas v občinah Božjih, zaradi stanovitnosti vaše in vere v vseh preganjanjih vaših in stiskah, katere prebivate;

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.

Znamenje pravične sodbe Božje, da se za vredne spoznate kraljestva Božjega, za katero tudi trpite:

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.

Če je res pravično pri Bogu vračati stisko njim, ki vas stiskajo,

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.

In vam stiskanim počitek z nami, v razodenji Gospoda Jezusa z neba z angeli moči njegove,

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.

V ognji plamena, kaznujočega njé, ki ne poznajo Boga, in ne slušajo evangelja Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa,

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)

Kateri bodo za kazen trpeli večno pogubo izpred obličja Gospodovega in izpred slave moči negove, (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.

Kader bode prišel, da se oslavi v svetih svojih, in da se mu čudijo vsi verujoči (ker se je verovalo pričanje naše pri vas) tisti dan.

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].

Za kar tudi vedno molimo za vas, da vas vredne spozna poklica naš Bog, in napolni vse dopadajenje dobrote in delo vere v moči,

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.

Da se oslavi ime Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa v vas, in vi v njem, po milosti Boga našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
