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:

Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto 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 ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand.

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.

Let no one deceive you in any manner; for [[that day will not come]] unless the apostasy shall have come first and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;

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.

he that opposeth and exalteth himself above every one that is called God, or worthy of worship, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself to be God.

5 Nou pa chonje mwen te di nou sa lè m' te lakay nou toujou?

Do ye not remember, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

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 ye know what restraineth, in order that he may be 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 mystery of lawlessness is already working; only there is one who now restraineth, until he be taken out of the way;

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 will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation 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.

[[he, ]] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood,

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 deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be 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 for this cause God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the falsehood;

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 all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in 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.

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of 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.

whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining 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, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the traditions which ye were taught by us, whether by word, or by 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)

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, our Father, who loved us, and gave us everlasting consolation and good hope through 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.

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