Thessalonicenses Ii 2
1 Rogamus autem vos, fratres, per adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et nostræ congregationis in ipsum:
Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto him,
2 ut non cito moveamini a vestro sensu, neque terreamini, neque per spiritum, neque per sermonem, neque per epistolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Domini.
that ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand.
3 Ne quis vos seducat ullo modo: quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum, et revelatus fuerit homo peccati filius perditionis,
Let no one deceive you in any manner; for [[that day will not come]] unless the apostasy shall have come first and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;
4 qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.
he that opposeth and exalteth himself above every one that is called God, or worthy of worship, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself to be God.
5 Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, hæc dicebam vobis?
Do ye not remember, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.
And now ye know what restraineth, in order that he may be revealed in his own time.
7 Nam mysterium jam operatur iniquitatis: tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already working; only there is one who now restraineth, until he be taken out of the way;
8 Et tunc revelabitur ille iniquus, quem Dominus Jesus interficiet spiritu oris sui, et destruet illustratione adventus sui eum:
and then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation of his coming;
9 cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanæ in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,
[[he, ]] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood,
10 et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis qui pereunt: eo quod caritatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.
and in all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,
And for this cause God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the falsehood;
12 ut judicentur omnes qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
that they may all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 Nos autem debemus gratias agere Deo semper pro vobis, fratres dilecti a Deo, quod elegerit vos Deus primitias in salutem in sanctificatione spiritus, et in fide veritatis:
But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth;
14 in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriæ Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Itaque fratres, state: et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the traditions which ye were taught by us, whether by word, or by our letter.
16 Ipse autem Dominus noster Jesus Christus, et Deus et Pater noster, qui dilexit nos, et dedit consolationem æternam, et spem bonam in gratia, (aiōnios g166)
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, our Father, who loved us, and gave us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
17 exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere et sermone bono.
encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.
