< Thessalonicenses Ii 1 >
1 Paulus, et Sylvanus, et Timotheus, Ecclesiae Thessalonicensium in Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Gratias agere debemus semper Deo pro vobis, fratres, ita ut dignum est, quoniam supercrescit fides vestra, et abundat charitas uniuscuiusque vestrum in invicem:
We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,
4 ita ut et nos ipsi in vobis gloriemur in Ecclesiis Dei, pro patientia vestra, et fide, et in omnibus persecutionibus vestris, et tribulationibus, quas sustinetis
so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.
5 in exemplum iusti iudicii Dei, ut digni habeamini in regno Dei, pro quo et patimini.
This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.
6 si tamen iustum est apud Deum retribuere tribulationem iis, qui vos tribulant:
For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
7 et vobis, qui tribulamini, requiem nobiscum in revelatione Domini Iesu de caelo cum angelis virtutis eius,
and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
8 in flamma ignis dantis vindictam iis, qui non noverunt Deum, et qui non obediunt Evangelio Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
punishing those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
9 qui poenas dabunt in interitu aeternas a facie Domini, et a gloria virtutis eius: (aiōnios )
who will pay the penalty: consummate (aiōnios ) destruction at the face of the Lord and at the glory of his might,
10 cum venerit glorificari in sanctis suis, et admirabilis fieri in omnibus, qui crediderunt, quia creditum est testimonium nostrum super vos in die illo.
when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
11 In quo etiam oramus semper pro vobis: ut dignetur vos vocatione sua Deus noster, et impleat omnem voluntatem bonitatis suae, et opus fidei in virtute,
To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,
12 ut clarificetur nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi in vobis, et vos in illo secundum gratiam Dei nostri, et Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
