2 Tesalonik 1

1 Mwen menm Pòl, ansanm ak Silven ak Timote, m'ap ekri lèt sa a voye bay manm legliz nan lavil Tesalonik k'ap viv ansanm nan Bondye, Papa a, ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Mwen mande pou Bondye, Papa a, ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Se yon devwa pou mwen pou m' pa janm sispann di Bondye mèsi pou nou, frè m' yo. Wi, se yon devwa pou m' fè l' vre. Paske, konfyans nou gen nan Bondye ap grandi anpil, renmen nou gen yonn pou lòt ap grandi toujou tou.

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

4 Se sak fè, sa fè m' plezi pou m' nonmen non nou nan tout legliz Bondye yo, pou jan nou gen pasyans, jan nou kenbe konfyans nou fèm nan Bondye nan mitan tout pèsekisyon ak soufrans k'ap tonbe sou nou.

so that we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

5 Sa fè moun wè se Bondye ki gen rezon lè l'ap jije. Paske, avèk tou sa n'ap sipòte koulye a, n'ap fin bon nèt pou nou ka antre nan peyi kote Bondye wa a. Se pou peyi sa a menm n'ap soufri konsa.

This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

6 Paske, Bondye gen pou fè sa ki byen: Bondye va gen rezon lè la fè moun k'ap fè nou soufri yo soufri tou.

Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

7 Kanta pou nou menm k'ap soufri koulye a, la ban nou repo ansanm avè m' lè Jezi va parèt nan syèl la avèk zanj li yo ki gen pouvwa.

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

8 La parèt nan mitan gwo flanm dife pou peni tout moun ki pa konn Bondye yo ansanm ak moun ki p'ap mache dapre bon nouvèl ki pale sou Jezi, Seyè nou an.

giving vengeance to those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

9 Chatiman moun sa yo, se disparèt y'ap disparèt yo pou tout tan. Y'ap wete yo devan Seyè a, y'ap voye yo jete byen lwen pou yo pa janm resevwa pa yo nan pouvwa Seyè a ak nan lwanj y'ap fè pou li a. (aiōnios g166)

who will pay the penalty: everlasting destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 Jou sa a, Seyè a va parèt pou l' resevwa lwanj nan men tout moun pa l' yo. Tout moun ki te mete konfyans yo nan li va kontan wè l'. Nou menm tou n'a wè li, paske nou te kwè nan mesaj mwen te fè nou konnen an.

when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

11 Se poutèt sa, mwen p'ap janm sispann lapriyè pou nou. M'ap mande Bondye pou l' ede nou pou nou viv yon jan ki dakò ak lavi li mande nou pou nou viv la. M'ap mande l' pou li ban nou pouvwa li, pou nou ka fè tout byen nou vle fè, pou nou fin reyalize nèt travay n'ap fè ak konfyans nan Bondye.

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;

12 Konsa, tout moun va fè lwanj non Jezi a poutèt nou. Nou menm tou, y'a fè lwanj nou poutèt li, gremesi favè Bondye nou an ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, fè nou.

that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
