2 VaTesaronika 2

1 Pamusoro pezvokuuya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu uye nokuungana kwedu kwaari, tinokukumbirai, hama,

But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren,

2 kuti murege kuzungunuswa kana kuvhundutswa nechimwe chiprofita, chiziviso kana tsamba inonzi yakabva kwatiri, ichiti zuva raShe ratosvika.

not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled--either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by us--through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here.

3 Musarega munhu upi zvake achikunyengerai nenzira ipi zvayo, nokuti zuva iro harisviki kusvikira kumukira kwaitika uye munhu wokutsauka aratidzwa, iye munhu akatongerwa kuparadzwa.

Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against,

4 Achapikisa uye achazvisimudzira pamusoro pezvinhu zvinonzi Mwari kana zvinonamatwa, nokudaro anozvigadza mutemberi yaMwari achizviita Mwari.

and exalts himself above, every so-called 'god' or object of worship, and goes the length of taking his seat in the very temple of God, giving it out that he himself is God.

5 Hamurangariri here kuti pandaiva nemi ndaisikuudzai zvinhu izvi?

Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you all this?

6 Uye iye zvino munoziva chinomudzivisa, kuti aratidzwe nenguva yakafanira.

And now you know what restrains him, in order that his true character may be revealed at his appointed time.

7 Nokuti chakavanzika chesimba rokutsauka chotoshanda basa; asi uyo anomudzivisa zvino acharamba achiita izvozvo kusvikira iye abviswa.

For lawlessness is already at work in secret; but only until the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is removed,

8 Uye ipapo munhu wokutsauka achazoratidzwa, uyo achaparadzwa naIshe Jesu nokufema kwomuromo wake, achimuparadza nokubwinya kwokuuya kwake.

and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.

9 Kuuya kwomunhu wokutsauka kuchaitika sebasa raSatani kuchiratidza nemhando dzose dzezvishamiso zvenhema, zviratidzo neminana,

The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels--for so Satan works--

10 uye nokuipa kwose kunonyengera avo vanoparara. Vanoparara nokuti vakaramba kuda chokwadi uti vagoponeswa.

and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.

11 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, Mwari anovatumira mweya une simba wokunyengera kuti vatende nhema

And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;

12 uye kuti vose vagotongwa, avo vasina kutenda chokwadi, asi vakafarira zvakaipa.

in order that all may come under judgement who have refused to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 Asi tinofanira kuvonga Mwari nguva dzose nokuda kwenyu, hama dzinodiwa naIshe, nokuti kubva pakutanga Mwari akakusarudzai kuti muponeswe nebasa rokuchenesa roMweya uye nokutenda chokwadi.

And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf--brethren whom the Lord loves--because God from the beginning has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying influence and your belief in the truth.

14 Akakudanirai izvi nevhangeri redu, kuti mugovane mukubwinya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.

To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Saka zvino, hama mirai nesimba uye mubatirire kudzidziso dzatakakudzidzisai, neshoko romuromo kana netsamba.

So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the teachings which you have received from us, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

16 Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu pachake uye Mwari Baba vedu, iye akatida uye nenyasha dzake akatipa upenyu husingaperi, kurudziro netariro yakanaka, (aiōnios g166)

And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself--and God our Father who has loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation and a bright hope-- (aiōnios g166)

17 ngaakurudzire mwoyo yenyu uye akusimbisei mumabasa nomumashoko ose akanaka.

comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word.
