2 Tesaloniana 2

1 Ary mangataka aminareo izahay, ry rahalahy, ny amin’ ny fihavian’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika sy ny hanangonana antsika ho eo aminy,

NOW we entreat you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him:

2 mba tsy halaky hohetsiketsehina amin’ ny saina na hampitahorina ianareo, na amin’ ny fanahy, na amin’ ny teny, na amin’ ny epistily izay toa avy aminay, milaza fa efa miandoha ny andron’ ny Tompo.

that ye be not hastily agitated with apprehension, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by discourse, nor by letter, as coming from us, as though the day of the Lord was instantly approaching.

3 Aza mety hofitahin’ olona akory ianareo; fa tsy ho avy izany, raha tsy efa tonga aloha ny fihemorana, ka hiseho ilay lehilahin’ ota, dia ilay zanaky ny fahaverezana,

Let no man deceive you in any way: because that cannot be till the apostasy come first, and the man of sin appear, the son of perdition,

4 ilay manohitra ka manandra-tena ho ambony noho izay rehetra atao hoe Andriamanitra, na izay ivavahana, ka dia mipetraka eo amin’ ny tempolin’ Andriamanitra izy ka manao ny tenany ho Andriamanitra.

who opposeth himself against, and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or is the object of adoration; so that he in the temple of God sitteth as God, exhibiting himself in public that he is God.

5 Tsy tsaroanareo va fa fony mbola teo aminareo ihany aho, dia efa nilaza izany zavatra izany taminareo?

Do ye not remember that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 Ary ankehitriny fantatrareo ny zavatra misakana, mba hampisehoana azy amin’ ny fotoan’ androny.

And now ye know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his own time.

7 Fa miasa sahady ny zava-miafina, dia ny tsi-fankatoavan-dalàna, kanefa mandra-panaisotra ilay misakana ankehitriny ihany.

For the mystery of iniquity is already powerfully working; only he that withholdeth hitherto, will do so till he is removed.

8 Ary dia haseho ilay tena mpandika lalàna, izay holevonin’ i Jesosy Tompo amin’ ny fofonain’ ny vavany ary hofoanany amin’ ny fisehoan’ ny fihaviany;

And then that lawless person will appear, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming;

9 ny fihavin’ ilehiny dia araka ny fiàsan’ i Satana amin’ ny hery sy ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana mandainga rehetra

whose appearing is known by fanatical energy, displayed in all power, and signs, and lying miracles,

10 ary ny famitahana momba ny tsi-fahamarinana amin’ izay ho very, satria tsy nandray ny fitiavana ny fahamarinana izay hamonjena azy izy.

and in every unrighteous delusion among those who perish: in consequence of which things they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 Koa izany no ampanateran’ Andriamanitra fiàsan’ ny fahadisoan-kevitra aminy hinoany ny lainga,

And for this cause God shall send unto them the energy of delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 mba hohelohina avokoa izay rehetra tsy nino ny marina, fa nankasitraka ny tsy marina.

that they all might be damned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 Fa izahay tsy maintsy misaotra an’ Andriamanitra mandrakariva ny aminareo, ry rahalahy malalan’ ny Tompo, satria Andriamanitra efa nifidy anareo hatramin’ ny voalohany hahazo famonjena amin’ ny fanamasinan’ ny Fanahy sy ny finoana ny marina,

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath elected you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and faith in the truth:

14 sady ho amin’ izany koa no niantsoany anareo tamin’ ny filazantsaranay hahazoanareo ny voninahitr’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

whereunto also he called you by our gospel, in order to your acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Koa tomoera tsara, ry rahalahy, ka hazòny ny fampianarana natolotra izay nampianarina anareo, na tamin’ ny teninay, na tamin’ ny epistilinay.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and firmly hold the injunctions delivered to you, as ye have been taught, whether by our discourse, or by letter.

16 Ary Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika sy Andriamanitra Raintsika, Izay efa tia antsika ka nanome antsika fampiononana mandrakizay sy fanantenana tsara amin’ ny fahasoavana, (aiōnios g166)

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God, and Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 no hampionona ny fonareo anie sy hampahery anareo amin’ ny asa sy ny teny tsara rehetra.

comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
