2 Tesalonik 1

1 Paul, Silvain ak Timothée, a legliz Tesalonisyen yo, nan Bondye, Papa nou an, e Senyè a, Jésus Kri:

To the Thessalonian church in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, From Paul, Silas, and Timothy.

2 Gras pou nou ak lapè Bondye, Papa a, e Senyè a, Jésus Kri.

May God, the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

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.

Friends, it is our duty always to thank God about you, as is but right, considering the wonderful growth of your faith, and because, without exception, your love for one another is continually increasing.

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.

So much is this the case that we ourselves speak with pride, before the churches of God, of the patience and faith which you have shown, in spite of all the persecutions and troubles that you are enduring.

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.

These persecutions will vindicate the justice of God’s judgment, and will result in your being reckoned worthy of God’s kingdom, for the sake of which you are now suffering;

6 Paske se byen jis pou Bondye rann afliksyon a sila ki aflije nou yo,

since God deems it just to inflict suffering on those who are now inflicting suffering on you,

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.

and to give relief to you who are suffering, as well as to us, at the appearing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire.

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.

Then he will inflict punishment on those who refuse to know God, and on those who turn a deaf ear to the good news of Jesus, our Lord.

9 Sila yo va peye pinisyon destriksyon etènèl la, lwen prezans Senyè a ak laglwa a pouvwa Li a. (aiōnios g166)

They will pay the penalty of unutterable ruin – banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glorious manifestation of his might, (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.

when he comes to be honoured in his people, and to be revered in all who have learned to believe in him (for you also believed our testimony) – as he will be on that day.

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,

With this in view, our constant prayer for you is that our God may count you worthy of the call that you have received, and by his power make perfect your delight in all goodness and the efforts that have resulted from your faith.

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.

Then, in the loving kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ, will the name of Jesus, our Lord, be honoured in you, and you in him.
