2 Batesalonika 2
1 Bandeko, mpo na oyo etali boyei ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, mpe bosangani na biso epai na Ye, tozali kosenga na bino boye:
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 bopesaka na mobulu nzela te ya kokota na pete kati na makanisi na bino to tika ete mitema na bino etungisamaka te likolo na emoniseli, liloba to mokanda oyo bato bakoki koloba na tina na yango ete ewuti epai na biso mpe ezali koloba ete mokolo ya Nkolo esili kokoma.
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Tika ete moko te akosa bino; pamba te liboso ete mokolo yango ekoma, bato basengeli nanu kobwaka kondima, mpe motomboki oyo abongisami mpo na libebi asengeli nanu komonana.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Motomboki yango akotelemela makambo nyonso ya Nzambe mpe akomitombola na likolo ya nyonso oyo bato babengaka Nzambe to na likolo ya oyo bato bagumbamelaka, kino kokende kovanda kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe mpe komibenga Nzambe.
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Boni, bobosani ete nazalaki koyebisa bino makambo yango tango nazalaki elongo na bino?
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 Nzokande boyebi sik’oyo nini ezali kokanga ye nzela mpo ete amonisama te na tango na ye.
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 Pamba te nguya ya botomboki, oyo ebombama esili kobanda kosala; kasi esengeli ete Ye oyo, kino sik’oyo, azali kokanga ye nzela ya komimonisa alongwa
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 mpo ete motomboki amonisama, ye oyo Nkolo Yesu akoboma na nzela ya Liloba kowuta na monoko na Ye mpe akobebisa tango akoya na nzela ya nkembo ya boyei na Ye.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Motomboki yango akoya na nguya ya Satana mpe akosala bikamwa ya lolenge nyonso, bilembo, misala minene ya lokuta
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 mpe lolenge nyonso ya mabe, mpo na kokosa bato oyo bazali kokende na libebi, pamba te bayambaki te bolingo ya bosolo oyo esengeli kobikisa bango.
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 Yango wana Nzambe atindeli bango molimo ya libunga mpo ete bandima makambo ya lokuta,
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 mpe mpo ete bato nyonso oyo baboyaki kondimela solo kasi basepelaki na mabe bazwa etumbu.
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 Kasi biso bandeko balingami ya Nkolo, tosengeli tango nyonso kozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe mpo na bino oyo Nkolo alingaka, pamba te Nzambe asila kopona bino wuta na ebandeli mpo ete bozwa lobiko, na nzela ya libulisi ya Molimo mpe ya kondima kati na solo.
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Na nzela ya Sango Malamu oyo toteyaki bino, Nzambe abengaki bino mpo ete bozwa lobiko mpe nkembo ya Nkolo na biso, Yesu-Klisto.
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Yango wana bandeko, botelema ngwi mpe bobatela malamu malakisi oyo toteyaki bino, ezala na nzela ya maloba to na nzela ya mokanda.
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Tika ete Ye moko Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, mpe Nzambe, Tata na biso, oyo alingaki biso mpe apesaki biso, na ngolu na Ye, malendisi ya seko mpe elikya ya malamu, (aiōnios g166)
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
17 balendisa mitema na bino mpe bapesa bino makasi ya kosala bolamu kati na misala mpe maloba nyonso!
Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
