2 KwabaseThesalonika 2

1 Mayelana lokuza kweNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu lokubuthana kwethu kuyo, siyalicela bazalwane

We implore now you, brothers, by the coming of the Lord of us Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him

2 ukuthi lingaphangi likhathazeke kumbe lethuswe ngeyinye imfundiso loba isiphrofethi kumbe ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni loba incwadi okungathiwa ivela kithi kuthiwa usuku lweNkosi selufikile.

for not soon to be shaken you in mind (nor *N(k)O*) to be troubled, neither through spirit nor through word nor through letter as if through us, as that has been present the day of the (Lord. *N(K)O*)

3 Lingavumeli muntu elikhohlisa langayiphi indlela ngoba lolosuku kaluyikufika umvukela uze wenzakale, lomuntu ongelamthetho abonakaliswe yena omiselwe ukubhujiswa.

No one you may deceive in not one way; that only unless shall have come the apostasy first and shall have been revealed the man (of lawlessness, *N(K)O*) the son of destruction,

4 Uzaphikisa, azikhukhumeze ezintweni zonke ezibiza uNkulunkulu loba ezikhonzwayo, aze azihlalise ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, amemezele ukuthi yena unguNkulunkulu.

who is opposing and exalting himself above every [one] named god or object of worship so as for him in the temple of God (as god *K*) to sit down setting forth he himself that is God.

5 Kalisakhumbuli yini ukuthi ngisesekini ngangijayele ukulitshela izinto lezi?

Surely you do remember that yet being with you these things I was saying to you?

6 Khathesi selikwazi okumvimbelayo ukuze abonakaliswe ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.

And now that which is restraining you know for to be revealed him in (his own *NK(o)*) time.

7 Ngoba amandla afihlakeleyo okungabi lamthetho asesebenza kodwa lowo owavimbelayo khathesi uzaqhubeka esenza njalo aze asuswe endleleni.

The for mystery already is working of lawlessness, only [there is] the [one] restraining [it] at present until out of [the] midst he may be [gone];

8 Lapho-ke, lowo ongelamthetho uzabonakaliswa, lowo iNkosi uJesu ezamchitha ngomoya womlomo wayo, imqede ngenkazimulo yokufika kwayo.

And then will be revealed the lawless [one] whom the Lord (Jesus *NO*) (will execute *N(k)O*) with the breath of the mouth of Him and will annul by the appearing of the coming of Him;

9 Ukufika kwalowo ongelamthetho kuzakuya ngendlela yemisebenzi kaSathane. Uzasebenzisa inhlobo zonke zokubonakalisa amandla ngezibonakaliso lezimanga zamanga

whose is coming according to [the] working of Satan in every power and in signs and in wonders of falsehood

10 kanye lezinhlobo zonke zobubi obukhohlisa ababhubhayo. Babhubha ngoba bala ukuthanda iqiniso ukuba basindiswe.

and in every deceit (*k*) of wickedness (in *k*) unto those perishing, in return for which the love of the truth not they received in order for to be saved them;

11 Ngenxa yalokhu, uNkulunkulu ubehlisela inkohliso elamandla ukuba bakholwe amanga

And because of this (sends *N(k)O*) to them God a powerful delusion so that to believe they what [is] false,

12 ukuze balahlwe bonke abangalikholwanga iqiniso kodwa bathokoziswa yibubi.

in order that may be judged (all *NK(o)*) those not having believed the truth but having delighted (in *k*) in unrighteousness.

13 Kodwa kufanele sibonge uNkulunkulu kokuphela ngenxa yenu, bazalwane abathandwa yiNkosi, ngoba uNkulunkulu walikhetha kusukela ekuqaleni ukuba lisindiswe ngomsebenzi ongcwele kaMoya langokukholwa eqinisweni.

We ourselves however ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers beloved by [the] Lord, that (has chosen *N(k)O*) you God (from [the] beginning *N(k)O*) unto salvation in [the] sanctification of [the] Spirit and [by] faith of [the] truth,

14 Walibizela kulokhu ngevangeli lethu ukuze lihlanganyele enkazimulweni yeNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu.

to this (also *n*) He called you through the gospel of us to [the] obtaining of [the] glory of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.

15 Ngakho-ke bazalwane, qinani libambelele ezifundweni esalinika zona, kungaba ngelizwi lomlomo loba ngencwadi.

So then, brothers, do stand firm and do hold fast to the traditions that you were taught whether through word or through letter from us.

16 Sengathi iNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu uqobo kanye loNkulunkulu uBaba owasithandayo kwathi ngomusa wakhe wasinika induduzo engapheliyo lethemba elihle (aiōnios g166)

Himself now the Lord of us Jesus Christ and God (the *N(K)O*) Father of us, the [One] having loved us and having given [us] comfort eternal and hope good by grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 angakhuthaza inhliziyo zenu njalo aliqinise kuzozonke izenzo ezinhle lasemazwini amahle.

would He encourage your hearts and would He strengthen (you *k*) in every work and word good.
