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

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.

not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.

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 way. For it will not be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is 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.

He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

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

Don’t you remember that when I was still 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.

Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

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 already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is 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.

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by 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.

even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with 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 with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive 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.

Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a 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 all might be judged who didn’t believe 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 always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in 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, for 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, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by 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 eternal comfort 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.

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