Tesalonikatɔwo 2 2

1 Le míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe vava kple ale si míaƒo ƒu ɖe egbɔ ŋuti la, míele biabiam tso mia si, nɔviwo, be

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to Him, we urge you

2 migana woatɔtɔ miaƒe susuwo bɔbɔe alo ado dzikatsoameƒo na mi kple nyagblɔɖiwo, nutsotsowo alo kple agbalẽ aɖe si wogblɔ be etso mía gbɔ hele gbɔgblɔm be Aƒetɔ la ƒe vavagbe la va yi xoxo o.

not to be quickly shaken from your conviction or disturbed, whether by a spirit or a word or a letter as from us, as though the Day of Christ has come.

3 Migana woatɔtɔ miaƒe susuwo, eye woable mi o; migaxɔ nu sia nu si wogblɔ la dzi se o, elabena ŋkeke ma mava o, va se ɖe esime aglãdzedze ava eye woaɖe ame sedzimawɔla la ɖe go, ame si woɖo ɖi na tsɔtsrɔ̃.

Do not let anyone deceive you by any means; because that day cannot come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of ruin,

4 Atsi tsitre ɖe mawu bubuwo ŋu, eye ayi aɖagbã nu siwo katã amewo subɔna la kple afi si wosubɔa wo le la gudugudu. Ayi aɖanɔ Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me abe Mawu ene, eye wòable amewo be yee nye Mawu.

who opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called a god or an object of worship, to the point of taking his seat as God in God's sanctuary, proclaiming himself to be God.

5 Mieɖo ŋku edzi be megblɔ nya siawo na mi esi menɔ mia gbɔ oa?

(Don't you remember that I used to tell you these things while still with you?)

6 Eye mienya nu si le mɔ xem na eƒe afi sia vava xoxo, elabena ne eƒe ɣeyiɣi mede o la, mava o.

So now you know what is restraining, to the end that he may be revealed at his own time.

7 Ke nu si ŋutsu aglãdzela sia awɔ ne eva la le edzi yim xoxo le bebeme, gake eya ŋutɔ mava o va se ɖe esime ame si le mɔ xem nɛ la do ɖa le mɔ me nɛ hafi.

For the mystery of the lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He removes Himself.

8 Ekema ŋutsu vɔ̃ɖi sia ava do, eye Aƒetɔ Yesu atsɔ eƒe ya si wògbɔna to eƒe nu me la afiae, eye ne etrɔ va la, atsrɔ̃ ŋutsu sia ɖa le anyigba dzi.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and abolish by the splendor of His coming;

9 Ŋutsu nu vɔ̃ wɔla sia ava kple Satana ƒe ŋusẽ eye Satana awɔ eŋu dɔ atsɔ wɔ dzesi kple nukunu gã geɖewo, atsɔ aflu amewoe.

that one's coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 Atsɔ madzɔmadzɔnyenye able ame siwo katã yina ɖe dzomavɔ la me, elabena wogbe nyateƒe la xɔxɔ, alɔ̃e be wòaɖe wo o,

and with all wicked deception among those who are wasting themselves, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved.

11 eya ta Mawu ɖe mɔ na wo be woaxɔ alakpa siawo katã dzi ase kple woƒe dzi blibo,

Yes, because of this God will send them an active delusion so that they will believe the lie

12 eye woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo katã pɛpɛpɛ be woxɔ alakpa dzi se, wogbe nu le nyateƒe la gbɔ, eye wokpɔ dzidzɔ le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo me.

and so that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in wickedness.

13 Ke ele be míada akpe na Mawu ɖaa ɖe mia ta, mi mía nɔvi siwo Aƒetɔ la lɔ̃, elabena Mawu ɖoe tso blema ke be yeana miakpɔ ɖeɖe, aklɔ mia ŋuti to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe dɔwɔwɔ kple miaƒe nyateƒe la dzi xɔxɔ se me.

Now we are obligated to always give thanks to God about you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you into salvation, through sanctification of spirit and belief in truth,

14 Mawu gblɔ nyanyui la na mi to mía dzi, eye to mía dzi wòyɔ mi be miakpɔ gome le míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la me.

to which He called you through our gospel, so as to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, nu siawo katã le susu me na mi, eya ta minɔ te sesĩe, eye mialé nyateƒe la me ɖe asi sesĩe, nyateƒe siwo míefia mi, esi míenɔ mia gbɔ kple esiwo míeŋlɔ ɖo ɖe mi le míaƒe agbalẽwo me na mi.

So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.

16 Míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ŋutɔ kple Mawu mía Fofo, ame si lɔ̃ mí, eye to eƒe amenuveve me la, wòna dzideƒo mavɔ kple mɔkpɔkpɔ nyui mí la (aiōnios g166)

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope, by grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 nade dzi ƒo na mi, eye wòado ŋusẽ mi le dɔ nyui ɖe sia ɖe wɔwɔ kple nyanyui la gbɔgblɔ me.

encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and work.
