2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲥⲓⲗⲟⲩⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲉⲩⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ

2 May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ

3 We should always give thanks to God for you, brothers. For this is appropriate, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love each of you has for one another increases.

ⲅ̅ϣϣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ϫⲉ ϥⲙⲡϣⲁ ϫⲉ ⲥⲣϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲁϣⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ

4 So we ourselves speak proudly about you among the churches of God. We talk about your patience and faith in all your persecutions. We talk about the afflictions that you endure.

ⲇ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲛϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ

5 This is a sign of God's righteous judgment. The result is that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God for which you suffer.

ⲉ̅ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ

6 It is righteous for God to return affliction to those who afflict you,

ⲋ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲱⲱⲃⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ

7 and relief to you who are afflicted with us. He will do this at the appearing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power.

ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ

8 In flaming fire he will take vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not respond to the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

ⲏ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲁϩ ⲛⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲉϥⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲃⲁ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ

9 They will be punished with eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power. (aiōnios g166)

ⲑ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲟⲙ (aiōnios g166)

10 He will do this when he comes on that day to be glorified by his people and to be marveled at by all those who believed. For our testimony to you was believed.

ⲓ̅ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲛϩⲉⲧ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ

11 Because of this we also pray continually for you. We pray that our God will consider you worthy of your calling. We pray that he will fulfill every desire of goodness and every work of faith with power.

ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛⲙⲡϣⲁ ⲙⲡⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥϫⲉⲕ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ

12 We pray these things so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified by you. We pray that you will be glorified by him, because of the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
