2 Tesalonik 1
1 Paul, Silvain ak Timothée, a legliz Tesalonisyen yo, nan Bondye, Papa nou an, e Senyè a, Jésus Kri:
This letter comes from Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians who belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Gras pou nou ak lapè Bondye, Papa a, e Senyè a, Jésus Kri.
May you have grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nou ta dwe toujou bay remèsiman a Bondye pou nou menm, frè m yo, nan jan sa merite a, paske lafwa nou gen tan grandi anpil, e lanmou a nou chak pou youn lòt ap grandi menm plis toujou.
We keep on thanking God for you, brothers and sisters—we just have to! This is the right thing to do because your trust in God is growing in leaps and bounds, and the love you all have for each other increases more and more.
4 Konsa, nou menm, nou pale avèk fyète de nou pami legliz a Bondye yo, pou pèseverans ak lafwa nou nan mitan tout pèsekisyon ak soufrans ke nou andire yo.
We speak so proudly of you among the churches of God because of your patient courage and trust in God during all the persecution and trouble you're going through.
5 Sa se yon sign byen klè de jijman dwat Bondye anvè nou ke nou konsidere dign pou wayòm Bondye a, de li menm nou vrèman ap soufri a.
For this is evidence that God is right in the decisions he makes, and that you deserve the kingdom of God for which you are suffering.
6 Paske se byen jis pou Bondye rann afliksyon a sila ki aflije nou yo,
Since God does what's right he will deal appropriately with those who cause you trouble.
7 epi pou bay repo a nou menm ki aflije ak nou yo lè Senyè a Jésus va vin parèt nan syèl la avèk zanj pwisan Li yo nan flanm dife yo.
He will free you from your suffering—and us too—when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels,
8 Konsa L a bay chatiman a sila ki pa konnen Bondye yo, e a sila ki pa obeyisan a levanjil Senyè Jésus nou a.
bringing judgment on those who reject God and refuse to accept the good news of our Lord Jesus.
9 Sila yo va peye pinisyon destriksyon etènèl la, lwen prezans Senyè a ak laglwa a pouvwa Li a. (aiōnios g166)
They will rightly experience the consequence of eternal loss, separated from the presence of the Lord and his glorious power, (aiōnios g166)
10 Lè Li vini pou L kapab glorifye nan sen Li yo nan jou sa a, e pou L kapab admire pami tout moun ki kwè yo—paske nou te kwè temwayaj pa nou a.
on the day when he comes to receive glory from his people, admired by all those who trust in him. This includes you because you were convinced about what we told you.
11 Pou rezon sa a osi, nou toujou priye pou nou, pou Bondye kapab konte nou dign de apèl nou an, e ranpli tout dezi pou fè sa ki bon ak zèv lafwa yo avèk fòs,
That's why we continue to pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of what he's called us to do. May God powerfully fulfill every desire you have to do good and every action that comes from trusting him
12 pou non a Senyè Jésus nou an kapab vin glorifye nan nou, e nou nan Li, pa lagras Bondye nou an ak Senyè a, Jésus Kri.
so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be honored by what you do—and in turn you are honored by him through the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
