2 thiṣalanīkinaḥ 2

1 hē bhrātaraḥ, asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanaṁ tasya samīpē 'smākaṁ saṁsthitiñcādhi vayaṁ yuṣmān idaṁ prārthayāmahē,

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

2 prabhēstad dinaṁ prāyēṇōpasthitam iti yadi kaścid ātmanā vācā vā patrēṇa vāsmākam ādēśaṁ kalpayan yuṣmān gadati tarhi yūyaṁ tēna cañcalamanasa udvignāśca na bhavata|

not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of the Lord had come.

3 kēnāpi prakārēṇa kō'pi yuṣmān na vañcayatu yatastasmād dināt pūrvvaṁ dharmmalōpēnōpasyātavyaṁ,

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

4 yaśca janō vipakṣatāṁ kurvvan sarvvasmād dēvāt pūjanīyavastuścōnnaṁsyatē svam īśvaramiva darśayan īśvaravad īśvarasya mandira upavēkṣyati ca tēna vināśapātrēṇa pāpapuruṣēṇōdētavyaṁ|

he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

5 yadāhaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhāvāsaṁ tadānīm ētad akathayamiti yūyaṁ kiṁ na smaratha?

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

6 sāmprataṁ sa yēna nivāryyatē tad yūyaṁ jānītha, kintu svasamayē tēnōdētavyaṁ|

Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

7 vidharmmasya nigūḍhō guṇa idānīmapi phalati kintu yastaṁ nivārayati sō'dyāpi dūrīkr̥tō nābhavat|

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

8 tasmin dūrīkr̥tē sa vidharmmyudēṣyati kintu prabhu ryīśuḥ svamukhapavanēna taṁ vidhvaṁsayiṣyati nijōpasthitēstējasā vināśayiṣyati ca|

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

9 śayatānasya śaktiprakāśanād vināśyamānānāṁ madhyē sarvvavidhāḥ parākramā bhramikā āścaryyakriyā lakṣaṇānyadharmmajātā sarvvavidhapratāraṇā ca tasyōpasthitēḥ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati;

even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 yatō hētōstē paritrāṇaprāptayē satyadharmmasyānurāgaṁ na gr̥hītavantastasmāt kāraṇād

and with all deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 īśvarēṇa tān prati bhrāntikaramāyāyāṁ prēṣitāyāṁ tē mr̥ṣāvākyē viśvasiṣyanti|

And because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

12 yatō yāvantō mānavāḥ satyadharmmē na viśvasyādharmmēṇa tuṣyanti taiḥ sarvvai rdaṇḍabhājanai rbhavitavyaṁ|

in order that all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 hē prabhōḥ priyā bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kr̥ta īśvarasya dhanyavādō'smābhiḥ sarvvadā karttavyō yata īśvara ā prathamād ātmanaḥ pāvanēna satyadharmmē viśvāsēna ca paritrāṇārthaṁ yuṣmān varītavān

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

14 tadarthañcāsmābhi rghōṣitēna susaṁvādēna yuṣmān āhūyāsmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tējasō'dhikāriṇaḥ kariṣyati|

to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 atō hē bhrātaraḥ yūyam asmākaṁ vākyaiḥ patraiśca yāṁ śikṣāṁ labdhavantastāṁ kr̥tsnāṁ śikṣāṁ dhārayantaḥ susthirā bhavata|

So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

16 asmākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭastāta īśvaraścārthatō yō yuṣmāsu prēma kr̥tavān nityāñca sāntvanām anugrahēṇōttamapratyāśāñca yuṣmabhyaṁ dattavān (aiōnios g166)

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

17 sa svayaṁ yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇāni sāntvayatu sarvvasmin sadvākyē satkarmmaṇi ca susthirīkarōtu ca|

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
