< 2 Tesalonica 2 >
1 Ita, maipapan iti iyaay ni Jesu-Cristo nga Apotayo ken iti pannakaurnongtayo a makikadua kenkuana: dawatenmi kadakayo kakabsat,
Now [I want to write to you] about the time when our Lord Jesus Christ will return and when [God] will gather us together to [where Jesus] is. My fellow believers, I urge you
2 a saankayo koma a nalaka a madanagan wenno mariribukan, uray babaen iti espiritu, babaen iti mensahe, wenno babaen iti surat a kasla aggapgapu kadakami, a nagbanaganna a dimtengen iti aldaw ti Apo.
that you think calmly [about any message] that [claims/says] that the Lord has [already] come again. Do not be shaken or alarmed/worried by any such message. [It does not matter] if [it is a message that someone claims God’s Spirit] revealed to him, or if [it is some other message that someone] has spoken, or whether [it is a message that someone claims] that I wrote in a letter.
3 Saanyo nga ipalubos nga adda mangallilaw kadakayo iti aniaman a wagas. Ta saan nga umay daytoy agingga a kalpasan nga umay iti iyaadayo, ken maiparangarang ti tao nga awanan linteg, ti anak iti pannakadadael.
Do not allow anyone to deceive you in any way [with the result that you believe any such message]. 2 Thessalonians 2:3b-5 [The Lord] will not come [MTY] [immediately]. First, [many people] [PRS] will rebel [against God]. The result of their rebelling will be that [they will accept and obey] the man who will sin very greatly [against God].
4 Isuna ti mangsalungasing ken mangitan-ok iti bagina a maibusor kadagiti amin a naawagan a Dios wenno pagrukbaban. Kas nagbanaganna, agtugaw isuna iti templo ti Dios ken iparangna ti bagina a kas Dios.
He will be the [supreme] enemy [of God]. He will [proudly] exalt himself above everything that [people] consider to be some god and above everything that people worship. [As a result of wanting people to worship him], he will [even enter] God’s Temple and sit down [there to rule]. He will publicly proclaim that he himself is God! But [God] will [certainly] punish that man forever!
5 Saanyo kadi a malagip nga idi addaak kadakayo ket imbagak dagitoy a banbanag?
(I am sure that you remember that I kept telling you these things while I was still with you [there in Thessalonica]./Do you not remember that I continued telling you these things while I was still with you [there in Thessalonica]?) [RHQ]
6 Ita, ammoyon ti manglaplapped kenkuana, tapno maiparangarangto laeng isuna iti umiso a tiempo.
You also know that there is something (OR, someone) that is preventing this man [from being revealed] {[from revealing himself]}. This man is being (held back/restrained) [now] for him to be revealed {that he reveal himself} at the time that [God has planned] [MTY].
7 Ta madaman nga agtrabtrabaho ti palimed iti awanan linteg, adda laeng ti maysa a tao a manglaplapped kenkuana ita agingga a maikkat isuna iti dalan.
[Although Satan] is already secretly causing [people] to reject [God’s] laws, (the one/God) who is preventing [this man from revealing himself] now [will continue to prevent him from doing that] until he/[God] removes him.
8 Ket maiparangarangto ti awanan linteg, nga isunto iti papatayen ni Apo Jesus babaen ti anges iti ngiwatna. Dadaelento isuna ti Apo babaen iti pannakaiparangarang iti iyaayna.
It is then that [God will allow] this man, who rejects [God’s] laws [completely], to be revealed {to reveal himself}. Then the Lord Jesus will destroy him, by simply commanding it [MTY]. Jesus, by his own glorious arrival, will cause him to become [completely] powerless.
9 Ti iyaay iti awan lintegna ket babaen iti aramid ni Satanas, nga addaan iti amin a pannakabalin, dagiti pagilasinan, ken dagiti palso a nakakaskasdaaw,
But [before Jesus destroys him], Satan will make him very powerful. As a result, he [will do all kinds of supernatural] miracles and amazing things [DOU] that will seem as though [God has enabled him to do them].
10 ken iti amin a panangallilaw iti kinakillo. Dagitoy a banbanag ket para kadagiti mapukpukaw, gapu ta saanda a naawat ti ayat iti kinapudno tapno maisalakanda.
And by doing wicked [things], he will completely deceive those who will [certainly] (perish/go to hell). [He will deceive them] because they will have refused to love the true [message]. So they will not be saved {God will not save them}. ()
11 Gapu iti daytoy, ibaon ti Dios kadakuada iti pannakabalin iti biddut tapno patienda iti ulbod.
So, God, by his power, will enable this man to easily deceive people, so that they will believe what [this man] falsely [claims/says that he is].
12 Agbanagto a maukomda amin, dagiti saan a namati ti kinapudno ngem ketdi nagragsakanda iti kinakillo.
The result will be that everyone will be [rightly] condemned {that [God] will [justly] condemn everyone} [to be punished] who did not believe the true [message], but who instead gladly chose [to be doing] what is wicked.
13 Ngem rumbeng nga agyamankami a kankanayon iti Dios gapu kadakayo, kakabsat nga inayat iti Apo. Ta pinilinakayo ti Dios a kas umuna a bunga iti pannakaisalakan iti pannakapasanto iti Espiritu ken pammati iti kinapudno.
[Our] fellow believers, whom our Lord [Jesus] loves, we thank God very frequently for you. It is appropriate/right for us to do that, because God chose you (from the beginning [MTY] [of creation/before the world existed]) in order that he might save [you] as a result of [your] believing the true [message] and as a result of [God’s] Spirit setting you apart [for God].
14 Daytoy iti nakaayabanyo a babaen iti ebangheliomi ket magun-odyo ti dayag ni Jesu-Cristo nga Apotayo.
[We thank God that] he chose you as a result of our [proclaiming] the message about Christ [to you], in order that you might (share in/have) some of the glory that our Lord Jesus Christ has.
15 Agtakderkayo ngarud a natibker kakabsat. Salimetmetanyo dagiti kinapudno a naisuro kadakayo, uray babaen iti sao wenno babaen iti suratmi.
So, [our fellow believers, continue to be firm concerning what you believe]; that is, continue believing the [true] teaching that we gave to you by our speaking to you and by our [writing] a letter [to you].
16 Ita, sapay koma ta ni Jesu-Cristo nga Apotayo ken Dios nga Amatayo a nangayat kadatayo ken nangted kadatayo iti agnanayon a liwliwa ken nasayaat a namnama iti masakbayan babaen iti parabur, (aiōnios )
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios )
17 ket liwliwaen ken patibkerenna dagiti puspusoyo iti tunggal nasayaat nga aramid ken sao.
[We strongly pray that] God and Jesus together will encourage you! And we pray that they will cause you to continue doing and saying things that God considers to be good.
