Προς Θεσσαλονικεις Β΄ 2

1 ερωτωμεν δε υμας αδελφοι υπερ της παρουσιας του κυριου {VAR1: [ημων] } {VAR2: ημων } ιησου χριστου και ημων επισυναγωγης επ αυτον

Now we ask you, brothers, on behalf of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

2 εις το μη ταχεως σαλευθηναι υμας απο του νοος μηδε θροεισθαι μητε δια πνευματος μητε δια λογου μητε δι επιστολης ως δι ημων ως οτι ενεστηκεν η ημερα του κυριου

for ye not to be quickly shaken from your mind, nor to be alarmed, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by a letter as by us, as that the day of the Christ has come.

3 μη τις υμας εξαπατηση κατα μηδενα τροπον οτι εαν μη ελθη η αποστασια πρωτον και αποκαλυφθη ο ανθρωπος της ανομιας ο υιος της απωλειας

Let not any man deceive you in any way, because if not, the defection may come first, and he may be revealed-the man of sin, the son of destruction,

4 ο αντικειμενος και υπεραιρομενος επι παντα λεγομενον θεον η σεβασμα ωστε αυτον εις τον ναον του θεου καθισαι αποδεικνυντα εαυτον οτι εστιν θεος

who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or an object of worship, so as for him to sit in the temple of God, as God, displaying himself that he is God.

5 ου μνημονευετε οτι ετι ων προς υμας ταυτα ελεγον υμιν

Do ye 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 {VAR1: αυτου } {VAR2: εαυτου } καιρω

And now ye know that which restrains, for him to be revealed in his own time.

7 το γαρ μυστηριον ηδη ενεργειται της ανομιας μονον ο κατεχων αρτι εως εκ μεσου γενηται

For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he who restrains it until now will develop from the midst.

8 και τοτε αποκαλυφθησεται ο ανομος ον ο κυριος [ιησους] ανελει τω πνευματι του στοματος αυτου και καταργησει τη επιφανεια της παρουσιας αυτου

And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will neutralize at the appearance of his coming.

9 ου εστιν η παρουσια κατ ενεργειαν του σατανα εν παση δυναμει και σημειοις και τερασιν ψευδους

Whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and marvels of deceit,

10 και εν παση απατη αδικιας τοις απολλυμενοις ανθ ων την αγαπην της αληθειας ουκ εδεξαντο εις το σωθηναι αυτους

and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.

11 και δια τουτο πεμπει αυτοις ο θεος ενεργειαν πλανης εις το πιστευσαι αυτους τω ψευδει

And because of this God will send them the force of a delusion, for them to believe a lie,

12 ινα κριθωσιν παντες οι μη πιστευσαντες τη αληθεια αλλα ευδοκησαντες τη αδικια

so that they might be condemned-all those who did not believe the truth, but who delighted in unrighteousness.

13 ημεις δε οφειλομεν ευχαριστειν τω θεω παντοτε περι υμων αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο κυριου οτι ειλατο υμας ο θεος {VAR1: απ αρχης } {VAR2: απαρχην } εις σωτηριαν εν αγιασμω πνευματος και πιστει αληθειας

But we are indebted to express thanks to God always about you, brothers, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth,

14 εις ο {VAR2: [και] } εκαλεσεν υμας δια του ευαγγελιου ημων εις περιποιησιν δοξης του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

for which he called you, through our good news, for an acquired possession of glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 αρα ουν αδελφοι στηκετε και κρατειτε τας παραδοσεις ας εδιδαχθητε ειτε δια λογου ειτε δι επιστολης ημων

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

16 αυτος δε ο κυριος ημων ιησους χριστος και [ο] θεος ο πατηρ ημων ο αγαπησας ημας και δους παρακλησιν αιωνιαν και ελπιδα αγαθην εν χαριτι (aiōnios g166)

And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father who loved us and gave eternal encouragement and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 παρακαλεσαι υμων τας καρδιας και στηριξαι εν παντι εργω και λογω αγαθω

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