2 Ndị Tesalonaịka 2
1 Ma ihe banyere ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, na nzukọ anyị na ya ga-ezukọta, anyị na-adụsị unu ọdụ ike ụmụnna.
But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren,
2 Ka unu ghara ịma jijiji maọbụ ịtụ egwu nʼuche unu nʼihi amụma, maọbụ okwu maọbụ akwụkwọ ozi e dere dị ka o sitere nʼaka anyị, nke na-asị nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị eruola.
not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled--either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by us--through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here.
3 Unu ekwela ka onye ọbụla duhie unu nʼụzọ ọbụla, nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ agaghị abịa tutu ruo mgbe oke inupu isi ga-adị, na mgbe a ga-ekpughe onye mmebi iwu ahụ nke a kara akara ịla nʼiyi.
Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against,
4 Onye mmebi iwu ahụ ga-ebuli onwe ya elu megide ihe niile a na-akpọ chi maọbụ nke a na-efe ofufe, nke ga-eme ka o dozie onwe ya nʼụlọnsọ Chineke, na-ekwupụta na ya bụ Chineke.
and exalts himself above, every so-called 'god' or object of worship, and goes the length of taking his seat in the very temple of God, giving it out that he himself is God.
5 Unu echetaghị ihe m gwara unu nʼoge mụ na unu nọ banyere ya?
Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you all this?
6 Ma ugbu a, unu maara na o nwere onye na-egbochi ya ka ọ hapụ ịpụta ihe. Nʼihi na mgbe ọ ga-apụta bụ mgbe oge ya ruru.
And now you know what restrains him, in order that his true character may be revealed at his appointed time.
7 Ma ọrụ nzuzo nke mmebi iwu ebidolarị ugbu a, ma onye ahụ na-egbochi ya ịbabiga ụba oke ga-anọgide na-eme otu a tutu ruo mgbe oge e wezugara ya.
For lawlessness is already at work in secret; but only until the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is removed,
8 Mgbe ahụ, a ga-eme ka onye mmebi iwu ahụ pụta ìhè, bụ onye Onyenwe anyị Jisọs ga-eji ume ọ ga-esi nʼọnụ ya kupụta laa nʼiyi, ma mee ka ọ ghara ịdịkwa ọzọ site nʼọbịbịa ya.
and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.
9 Ọbịbịa onye mmebi iwu ahụ ga-abụ dị ka ọrụ ekwensu si dị, site nʼike ịrụ ọrụ ebube aghụghọ na ihe ịrịbama dị iche iche, na ọrụ ịtụnanya aghụghọ dị iche iche nke ụgha.
The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels--for so Satan works--
10 Ya na ụdị ọrụ ọjọọ dị iche iche nke ọ ga-eji duhie ndị ahụ na-ala nʼiyi. Ha ga-ala nʼiyi nʼihi na ha jụrụ ịhụ eziokwu nʼanya ma nwee nzọpụta.
and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.
11 Nʼihi nke a, Chineke ga-ahapụ ha ka e duhie ha, ka ha jiri obi ha niile nabata okwu ụgha ndị a.
And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;
12 Ihe nke a pụtara bụ na ndị niile na-ekweghị nʼeziokwu ahụ ma nwee mmasị nʼajọ omume ka a ga-ama ikpe.
in order that all may come under judgement who have refused to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 Anyị kwesiri inye Chineke ekele mgbe niile nʼihi unu ụmụnna ndị Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nʼanya. Nʼihi na Chineke esitelarị na mmalite họpụta unu ka unu bụrụ ndị a zọpụtara site nʼọrụ ido nsọ nke Mmụọ Nsọ na site nʼokwukwe unu nʼeziokwu ahụ.
And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf--brethren whom the Lord loves--because God from the beginning has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying influence and your belief in the truth.
14 Nʼihi nke a, ọ kpọrọ unu site nʼoziọma anyị ka unu nweta otuto nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Ya mere, ụmụnna, nọgidenụ nʼozizi ahụ anyị mere ka unu mụta site nʼozizi anyị ziri unu, maọbụ na akwụkwọ anyị deere unu.
So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the teachings which you have received from us, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 Ka Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst nʼonwe ya, na Chineke Nna anyị, onye hụrụ anyị nʼanya, site nʼamara ya nye anyị agbamume dị ebighị ebi na ezi olileanya, (aiōnios g166)
And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself--and God our Father who has loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation and a bright hope-- (aiōnios g166)
17 gbaa obi unu ume, ma mee ka unu guzosie ike nʼịrụ ọrụ na ikwukwa ihe niile dị mma.
comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word.
