< 2 Thessalonians 2 >
1 Now about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to be with him, we ask you, brothers,
ⲁ̅ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲁ ⲧⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
2 that you not be easily disturbed or troubled, either by a spirit, by a message, or by a letter that seems to be coming from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has already come.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲕⲓⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲙϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ⲙⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲟⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not come until after the falling away comes, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.
ⲅ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲣϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲧⲙ ⲧⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲧⲁⲕⲟ
4 This is he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped. As a result, he sits in the temple of God and exhibits himself as God.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓⲕⲉⲓⲙⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲟⲡ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲣⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ
5 Do you not remember that when I was with you I told you these things?
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲓϩⲁⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲓϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ
6 Now you know what restrains him, so that he will be revealed only at the right time.
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲕⲁⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only there is someone who restrains him now until he is taken out of the way.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ϫⲓⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲁⲧⲉⲭⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲛⲧϥⲗⲟ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ
8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth. The Lord will bring him to nothing by the revelation of his coming.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ
9 The lawless one's coming will be due to the work of Satan with all power, signs, and false wonders,
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉϥⲡⲁⲣϩⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϩⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛⲙⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛϭⲟⲗ
10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness. These things will be for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for them to be saved.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ ⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲧⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
11 For this reason God is sending them a work of error so that they would believe a lie.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲗⲁⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡϭⲟⲗ
12 The result is that they will all be judged, those who did not believe the truth but instead took pleasure in unrighteousness.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲱⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ
13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord. For God chose you as the firstfruits for salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛⲧⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲧⲡ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲙⲉ
14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold tightly to the traditions that you were taught, whether by word or by our letter.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios )
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ (aiōnios )
17 comfort and establish your hearts in every good work and word.
