2 Tesalonik 2
1 Ann konsidere lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va parèt pou l' sanble nou ansanm bò kote li. Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou:
And we ask you, brothers, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together to Him,
2 Pa kite pesonn twouble lespri nou fasil, ni fè nou pèdi tèt nou ak ankenn mesaj ki swadizan soti nan Bondye, ni ak ankenn bèl diskou, ni ak ankenn lèt mwen ta swadizan ekri nou, pou yo fè nou kwè jou Seyè a rive deja.
that you are not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the Day of the LORD has arrived;
3 Pa kite pesonn twonpe nou nan ankenn jan. Paske, anvan jou sa a rive, gen yon dènye revòlt kont Bondye ki pou fèt. Nou gen pou nou wè mechan ki deja kondannen pou disparèt la vini anvan.
do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because if the departure may not come first, the man of lawlessness may [not] be revealed—the son of destruction,
4 Mechan sa a ap kanpe, l'ap pran pozisyon kont tout bagay lèzòm ap sèvi, kont tout bagay lèzòm konsidere pou Bondye. La fè, la fè, jouk la antre nan tanp Bondye a, la chita, la fè tèt li pase pou Bondye.
who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called god or worshiped, so as for him to have sat down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he is God.
5 Nou pa chonje mwen te di nou sa lè m' te lakay nou toujou?
Do you not remember that, yet being with you, I said these things to you?
6 Men, gen yon bagay k'ap anpeche levènman sa yo rive koulye a. Nou konnen kisa li ye: Se sak fè, mechan an p'ap parèt anvan lè li.
And now, you have known what is restraining, for his being revealed in his own time,
7 Wi, pouvwa mechan an deja ap travay anba chal. Men, anvan pou levènman sa yo rive, se pou moun k'ap ba l' baryè a disparèt.
for the secret of lawlessness already works, only the [One] now restraining [will do so] until He may come out of [the] midst,
8 Lè sa a, mechan an va parèt. Seyè Jezi va soufle ak bouch li sou li, la touye li. L'ap annik parèt nan tout pouvwa li pou l' fini nèt ak li.
and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the LORD will consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and will nullify at the appearance of His coming,
9 Mechan an va vini ak tout pouvwa Satan an. Li va fè anpil mirak, anpil mèvèy ak anpil gwo siy pou bay manti.
whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
10 Li va fè tout kalite bagay mal pou twonpe moun k'ap pèdi tèt yo. Y'ap pèdi tèt yo paske yo pa asepte verite ki pou ta sove yo a, yo pa renmen li.
and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their being saved,
11 Se poutèt sa, Bondye ap voye yon pouvwa k'ap travay pou egare yo pi rèd, pou yo sa kwè nan manti.
and because of this God will send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,
12 Konsa, tout moun ki p'ap kwè nan verite a, ki te pran plezi yo nan fè lenjistis, yo tout pral kondannen.
that they may be judged—all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.
13 Se yon devwa pou mwen pou m' pa janm sispann di Bondye mèsi pou nou, frè m' yo, nou menm Seyè a renmen. Paske, Bondye chwazi nou pou nou ka premye moun ki pou delivre, gremesi pouvwa Sentespri ki fè nou tounen moun pa l', paske nou kwè nan verite a.
And we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, beloved by the LORD, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,
14 Gremesi bon nouvèl mwen te anonse nou an, Bondye chwazi nou pou nou ka resevwa pa nou nan lwanj ki pou Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
to which He called you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15 Se sa ki fè, frè m' yo, se pou nou kenbe fèm. Pa bliye tou sa nou te aprann nan bouch mwen ak nan lèt mwen an.
so, then, brothers, stand fast, and hold the traditions that you were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;
16 M'ap lapriyè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ansanm ak Bondye, Papa nou ki renmen nou, ki fè nou favè, ki ban nou yon kouraj ki p'ap janm febli ansanm ak yon bèl espwa. (aiōnios g166)
and may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us, and gave continuous comfort, and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)
17 M'ap mande yo pou yo fòtifye kè nou, pou yo ban nou fòs kouraj pou nou fè tou sa ki byen, pou nou di tou sa ki byen.
comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
