1 Atĩrĩrĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ha ũhoro wa gũcooka kwa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ na gũcookanĩrĩrio gwitũ harĩ we, nĩtũkũmũthaitha,
But we request you, brethren, —in behalf of the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him,
2 atĩ mũtikahiũhe kwenyenyio kana mũhahũrwo nĩ ũrathi mũna, kana ndũmĩrĩri, o na kana marũa merĩtwo atĩ moimĩte kũrĩ ithuĩ, makoiga atĩ mũthenya wa Mwathani nĩũrĩkĩtie gũkinya.
That ye be not quickly tossed from your mind, nor be put in alarm—either by spirit, or by discourse, or by letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord, hath set in:
3 Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amũheenie o na atĩa, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũcio ndũgaakinya, ũhoro wa kũregana na watho ũtakinyĩte, o nake mũndũ ũrĩa mũregi watho ataguũranĩirio, o ũcio ũtuĩrĩirwo ciira wa kwanangwo.
That no one may cheat, you, in any one respect. Because [that day will not set in] —except the revolt come first, and there he revealed the man of lawlessness, the son of destruction,
4 Nĩagokĩrĩra na etũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩĩtanĩtio na Ngai na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩhooyagwo, nĩgeetha aikare thĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai, agĩĩtuuaga atĩ we mwene nĩ Ngai.
The one who opposeth and exalteth himself on high against every one called God, or an object of worship; so that he, within the sanctuary of God, shall take his seat, showeth himself forth, that he is, God: —
5 Kaĩ mũtararirikana atĩ rĩrĩa ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ nĩndamwĩraga maũndũ macio?
Remember ye not, that, while I was yet with you, these very things, I was telling you?
6 Na rĩu nĩmũũĩ kĩrĩa kĩgirĩtie mũndũ ũcio ooke na nĩgeetha akaaguũranĩrio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire.
And, what now restraineth, ye know, to the end he may be revealed in his own fitting time;
7 Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro wa hitho wa kũregana na watho nĩũraruta wĩra; no nĩ kũrĩ ũrĩa ũgirĩrĩirie ũhoro ũcio woneke rĩu, na egũthiĩ na mbere gwĩka ũguo nginya rĩrĩa akeeherio.
For, the secret, of lawlessness, already, is inwardly working itself, —only, until, he that restraineth at present, shall be gone, out of the midst:
8 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mũndũ ũcio mũregi watho akaaguũranĩrio. Mũndũ ũcio nĩwe Mwathani Jesũ akooraga na mĩhũmũ ya kanua gake, na amwanange na riiri wake ũrĩa ũkoonanio nĩ gũcooka gwake.
And, then, shall be revealed the lawless one, —whom, the Lord [Jesus], will slay with the Spirit of his mouth, and paralyse with the forthshining of his Presence: —
9 Mũndũ ũcio mũregi watho nĩagooka kũringana na wĩra wa Shaitani ũrĩa wonekaga thĩinĩ wa mĩthemba yothe ya ciama cia maheeni, na marũũri, na morirũ,
Whose, presence, [shall be] according to an inworking of Satan, with all manner of mighty work and signs and wonders of falsehood,
10 o na ooke na mĩthemba yothe ya ũmaramari nĩguo aheenie andũ arĩa marĩ njĩra ya kũũra. Moraga tondũ nĩmaregire kwenda ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma nĩguo mahonokio.
And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; —
11 Na tondũ ũcio Ngai nĩamarehagĩra ũndũ wa hinya wa kũmahĩtithia, nĩgeetha metĩkie maheeni macio,
And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood, —
12 na nĩgeetha andũ othe matuĩrwo ciira arĩa matetĩkĩtie ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma na makenagĩra maũndũ ma waganu.
In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well-pleased with the unrighteousness.
13 No rĩrĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩgũcookagĩria Ngai ngaatho hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ ũndũ wanyu, inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ mwendetwo nĩ Mwathani, tondũ kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria Ngai nĩamũthuurire mũhonokio nĩ ũndũ wa gũtherio nĩ Roho o na gwĩtĩkia ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
But, we, are bound to give thanks unto God continually concerning you, brethren beloved by the Lord, for that God chose you, from the beginning, unto salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth, —
14 Aamwĩtĩire ũhoro ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũrĩa twamũhunjĩirie nĩguo mũgĩe na riiri wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
Unto which he called you, through means of our glad-message, unto an acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mwĩhaandei wega na mũrũmie ũrutani ũrĩa twamũrutire, o na akorwo twaririe na kanua kana tũkĩmwandĩkĩra marũa.
Hence, then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye were taught—whether through discourse, or through our letter.
16 Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ we mwene, o na Ngai Ithe witũ ũrĩa watwendire na agĩtũhe ũũmĩrĩru wa nginya tene na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩega na ũndũ wa Wega wake-rĩ, (aiōnios g166)
But may, our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, —Who hath loved you, and given you age-abiding consolation and good hope by favour, (aiōnios g166)
17 maroomĩrĩria ngoro cianyu, na mamwĩkĩre hinya thĩinĩ wa ciĩko o na ciugo ciothe njega.
Console your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word!
