Talking about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we're brought together to him, brother and sisters—

2 prabhestad dina. m praaye. nopasthitam iti yadi ka"scid aatmanaa vaacaa vaa patre. na vaasmaakam aade"sa. m kalpayan yu. smaan gadati tarhi yuuya. m tena ca ncalamanasa udvignaa"sca na bhavata|

please don't become upset or concerned by any spiritual revelation, or message, or letter supposedly from us that makes you think that the day of the Lord has already come.

3 kenaapi prakaare. na ko. api yu. smaan na va ncayatu yatastasmaad dinaat puurvva. m dharmmalopenopasyaatavya. m,

Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, because the Rebellion must come first, and the lawless man be revealed, the one whose end is destruction.

4 ya"sca jano vipak. sataa. m kurvvan sarvvasmaad devaat puujaniiyavastu"sconna. msyate svam ii"svaramiva dar"sayan ii"svaravad ii"svarasya mandira upavek. syati ca tena vinaa"sapaatre. na paapapuru. se. nodetavya. m|

He is the enemy of God, and proudly sets himself up over everything that is called God and is worshiped. He even installs himself in God's Temple, claiming to be God.

5 yadaaha. m yu. smaaka. m sannidhaavaasa. m tadaaniim etad akathayamiti yuuya. m ki. m na smaratha?

Don't you remember that I told you all this while I was still with you?

6 saamprata. m sa yena nivaaryyate tad yuuya. m jaaniitha, kintu svasamaye tenodetavya. m|

Now you know what's keeping him in check, because he will be revealed for what he is at the appropriate time.

7 vidharmmasya niguu. dho gu. na idaaniimapi phalati kintu yasta. m nivaarayati so. adyaapi duuriik. rto naabhavat|

For the secret ways of lawlessness are already at work; however he who now restrains it will continue to do so until he is out of the way.

8 tasmin duuriik. rte sa vidharmmyude. syati kintu prabhu ryii"su. h svamukhapavanena ta. m vidhva. msayi. syati nijopasthitestejasaa vinaa"sayi. syati ca|

Then the lawless one will be revealed, the one whom the Lord Jesus will wipe out, blowing him away, destroying him by the brilliance of his coming.

9 "sayataanasya "saktiprakaa"sanaad vinaa"syamaanaanaa. m madhye sarvvavidhaa. h paraakramaa bhramikaa aa"scaryyakriyaa lak. sa. naanyadharmmajaataa sarvvavidhaprataara. naa ca tasyopasthite. h phala. m bhavi. syati;

He (the lawless one) comes to do Satan's work, having all kinds of powers, using miracles, and performing amazing but deceptive displays.

10 yato hetoste paritraa. napraaptaye satyadharmmasyaanuraaga. m na g. rhiitavantastasmaat kaara. naad

Using every type of evil trick he deludes those who are on their way to destruction, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

11 ii"svare. na taan prati bhraantikaramaayaayaa. m pre. sitaayaa. m te m. r.saavaakye vi"svasi. syanti|

Because of this God sends them a convincing delusion so that they put their trust in the lie.

12 yato yaavanto maanavaa. h satyadharmme na vi"svasyaadharmme. na tu. syanti tai. h sarvvai rda. n.dabhaajanai rbhavitavya. m|

As a result everyone who did not trust in the truth will be condemned, for they preferred what is evil.

13 he prabho. h priyaa bhraatara. h, yu. smaaka. m k. rta ii"svarasya dhanyavaado. asmaabhi. h sarvvadaa karttavyo yata ii"svara aa prathamaad aatmana. h paavanena satyadharmme vi"svaasena ca paritraa. naartha. m yu. smaan variitavaan

But we just have to keep on thanking God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you to be saved through the Spirit who makes you right as you trust in the truth.

14 tadartha ncaasmaabhi rgho. sitena susa. mvaadena yu. smaan aahuuyaasmaaka. m prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya tejaso. adhikaari. na. h kari. syati|

This is what he called you to through the good news we shared with you, so that you could participate in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 ato he bhraatara. h yuuyam asmaaka. m vaakyai. h patrai"sca yaa. m "sik. saa. m labdhavantastaa. m k. rtsnaa. m "sik. saa. m dhaarayanta. h susthiraa bhavata|

So, brothers and sisters, stand firm, and hold on to what you've been taught, whether by what you were told, or through a letter from us.

16 asmaaka. m prabhu ryii"sukhrii. s.tastaata ii"svara"scaarthato yo yu. smaasu prema k. rtavaan nityaa nca saantvanaam anugrahe. nottamapratyaa"saa nca yu. smabhya. m dattavaan (aiōnios g166)

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God the Father (who through his grace gave us eternal confidence and a trustworthy hope), (aiōnios g166)

17 sa svaya. m yu. smaakam anta. hkara. naani saantvayatu sarvvasmin sadvaakye satkarmma. ni ca susthiriikarotu ca|

encourage you and strengthen you so you can say and do everything that is good.
