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.
Pablo, Silvano y Timoteo, a la iglesia de los tesalonicenses en Dios nuestro Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo:
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.
Gracia y paz ustedes de parte de Dios el Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
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.
Es correcto que alabemos a Dios en todo momento por ustedes, hermanos, por el gran aumento de su fe y la riqueza y el amor de todos que abunda mutuamente para los demás;
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.
Para que nosotros mismos nos gloriamos de ustedes en las iglesias de Dios por paciencia y su fe en todos los problemas y tristezas por los que está pasando;
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.
Que es una clara señal de la decisión que Dios en su justicia ha hecho; para darles parte en su reino, por el cual han sufrido este dolor;
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.
Porque es un acto de justicia por parte de Dios dar problemas como recompensa a aquellos que los molestan,
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.
Y ustedes que están atribulados, descanse con nosotros, cuando el Señor Jesús venga del cielo con los ángeles de su poder en llamas de fuego,
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.
Para dar castigo a los que no conocen a Dios, y a los que no obedecen el evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo:
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)
Cuya recompensa será la destrucción eterna de la presencia del Señor y de la gloria de su 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.
A su venida, cuando él tendrá gloria en sus santos, y será motivo de asombro en todos aquellos que tuvieron fe (porque nuestro testimonio entre ustedes tuvo efecto) en ese día.
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].
Por esta razón, siempre están en nuestras oraciones, para que nuestro Dios los tenga dignos de su llamamiento y por su poder hará que todos sus buenos propósitos y la obra de fe se completen;
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 el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús sea glorificado a través de ustedes, y puedan gloriarse en él, por la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo.
