Προς Θεσσαλονικεις Β΄ 2
1 ερωτωμεν δε υμασ αδελφοι υπερ τησ παρουσιασ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και ημων επισυναγωγησ επ αυτον
Now, we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together to him,
2 εισ το μη ταχεωσ σαλευθηναι υμασ απο του νοοσ μητε θροεισθαι μητε δια πνευματοσ μητε δια λογου μητε δι επιστολησ ωσ δι ημων ωσ οτι ενεστηκεν η ημερα του χριστου
that you be not suddenly shaken in mind, nor alarmed, neither by spirit, not by report, nor by letter, as from us, intimating that the day of the Lord is at hand.
3 μη τισ υμασ εξαπατηση κατα μηδενα τροπον οτι εαν μη ελθη η αποστασια πρωτον και αποκαλυφθη ο ανθρωποσ τησ αμαρτιασ ο υιοσ τησ απωλειασ
Let no one lead you into a mistake by any means; because the apostasy must first appear, and the man of sin, the son of perdition, must be first revealed,
4 ο αντικειμενοσ και υπεραιρομενοσ επι παντα λεγομενον θεον η σεβασμα ωστε αυτον εισ τον ναον του θεου ωσ θεον καθισαι αποδεικνυντα εαυτον οτι εστιν θεοσ
who opposes and exalts himself against every one called a god, or an object of worship; so that he places himself in the temple of God, openly exhibiting himself, that he is a god.
5 ου μνημονευετε οτι ετι ων προσ υμασ ταυτα ελεγον υμιν
Do you not remember that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 και νυν το κατεχον οιδατε εισ το αποκαλυφθηναι αυτον εν τω εαυτου καιρω
And you know what now prevents his being revealed until his proper time.
7 το γαρ μυστηριον ηδη ενεργειται τησ ανομιασ μονον ο κατεχων αρτι εωσ εκ μεσου γενηται
For already the mystery of iniquity secretly works, only till he who now restrains, be taken out of the way;
8 και τοτε αποκαλυφθησεται ο ανομοσ ον ο κυριοσ αναλωσει τω πνευματι του στοματοσ αυτου και καταργησει τη επιφανεια τησ παρουσιασ αυτου
and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume by the spirit of his mouth--with the brightness of his coming,
9 ου εστιν η παρουσια κατ ενεργειαν του σατανα εν παση δυναμει και σημειοισ και τερασιν ψευδουσ
he will, indeed, utterly destroy him, whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, with all the power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood;
10 και εν παση απατη τησ αδικιασ εν τοισ απολλυμενοισ ανθ ων την αγαπην τησ αληθειασ ουκ εδεξαντο εισ το σωθηναι αυτουσ
and with all the deceit of unrighteousness among the destroyed; because they did not embrace the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 και δια τουτο πεμψει αυτοισ ο θεοσ ενεργειαν πλανησ εισ το πιστευσαι αυτουσ τω ψευδει
For this cause, God will send them strong delusion, that they may believe a lie;
12 ινα κριθωσιν παντεσ οι μη πιστευσαντεσ τη αληθεια αλλ ευδοκησαντεσ εν τη αδικια
that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in iniquity.
13 ημεισ δε οφειλομεν ευχαριστειν τω θεω παντοτε περι υμων αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο κυριου οτι ειλετο υμασ ο θεοσ απ αρχησ εισ σωτηριαν εν αγιασμω πνευματοσ και πιστει αληθειασ
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God has, from the beginning, chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of spirit, and belief of truth;
14 εισ ο εκαλεσεν υμασ δια του ευαγγελιου ημων εισ περιποιησιν δοξησ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
to which he called you, by our gospel, that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 αρα ουν αδελφοι στηκετε και κρατειτε τασ παραδοσεισ ασ εδιδαχθητε ειτε δια λογου ειτε δι επιστολησ ημων
Well, then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the traditions which you have been taught, whether by our word or letter.
16 αυτοσ δε ο κυριοσ ημων ιησουσ χριστοσ και ο θεοσ και πατηρ ημων ο αγαπησασ ημασ και δουσ παρακλησιν αιωνιαν και ελπιδα αγαθην εν χαριτι (aiōnios g166)
And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through favor, (aiōnios g166)
17 παρακαλεσαι υμων τασ καρδιασ και στηριξαι υμασ εν παντι λογω και εργω αγαθω
comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
