2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering to him.
Rogamus autem vos fratres per adventum Domini nostri Iesu Christi, et nostrae congregationis in ipsum:
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
ut non cito moveamini a vestro sensu, neque terreamini, neque per spiritum, neque per sermonem, neque per epistolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Domini.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Nequis vos seducat ullo modo: quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum, et revelatus fuerit homo peccati, filius perditionis,
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.
5 Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, haec dicebam vobis?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
Et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now restraineth [will] restrain, until he be taken out of the way.
Nam mysterium iam operatur iniquitatis: tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Et tunc revelabitur ille iniquus, quem Dominus Iesus interficiet spiritu oris sui, et destruet illustratione adventus sui eum:
9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
cuius est adventus secundum operationem satanae in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis, qui pereunt: eo quod charitatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.
11 And for this cause God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,
12 That they all may be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
ut iudicentur omnes, qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth:
Nos autem debemus gratias agere Deo semper pro vobis fratres dilecti a Deo, quod elegerit vos Deus primitias in salutem in sanctificatione spiritus, et in fide veritatis:
14 To which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriae Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
Itaque fratres state: et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
Ipse autem Dominus noster Iesus Christus, et Deus et Pater noster, qui dilexit nos, et dedit consolationem aeternam, et spem bonam in gratia, (aiōnios g166)
17 Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere, et sermone bono.
