< Второе послание к Фессалоникийцам 1 >

1 Павел и Силуан и Тимофей, церкви Солунстей, о Бозе Отце нашем и Господе Иисусе Христе:
To the Thessalonian church in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, From Paul, Silas, and Timothy.
2 благодать вам и мир от Бога Отца нашего, и Господа Иисуса Христа.
May God, the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
3 Благодарити должни есмы Бога всегда о вас, братие, якоже достойно есть, яко превозрастает вера ваша, и множится любовь единаго коегождо всех вас друг ко другу:
Friends, it is our duty always to thank God about you, as is but right, considering the wonderful growth of your faith, and because, without exception, your love for one another is continually increasing.
4 яко самем нам хвалитися о вас в церквах Божиих, о терпении вашем и вере во всех гонениих ваших и скорбех, яже приемлете,
So much is this the case that we ourselves speak with pride, before the churches of God, of the patience and faith which you have shown, in spite of all the persecutions and troubles that you are enduring.
5 показание праведнаго суда Божия, во еже сподобитися вам Царствия Божия, егоже ради и страждете.
These persecutions will vindicate the justice of God’s judgment, and will result in your being reckoned worthy of God’s kingdom, for the sake of which you are now suffering;
6 Аще убо праведно у Бога, воздати скорбь оскорбляющым вас,
since God deems it just to inflict suffering on those who are now inflicting suffering on you,
7 а вам оскорбляемым отраду с нами, во откровении Господа Иисуса с небесе, со Ангелы силы Своея,
and to give relief to you who are suffering, as well as to us, at the appearing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire.
8 во огни пламенне дающаго отмщение не ведущым Бога и не послушающым благовествования Господа нашего Иисуса Христа:
Then he will inflict punishment on those who refuse to know God, and on those who turn a deaf ear to the good news of Jesus, our Lord.
9 иже муку приимут, погибель вечную, от лица Господня и от славы крепости Его, (aiōnios g166)
They will pay the penalty of unutterable ruin – banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glorious manifestation of his might, (aiōnios g166)
10 егда приидет прославитися во святых Своих и дивен быти во всех веровавших, яко уверися свидетельство наше в вас, в день он.
when he comes to be honored in his people, and to be revered in all who have learned to believe in him (for you also believed our testimony) – as he will be on that day.
11 За сие и молимся всегда о вас, да вы сподобит званию Бог наш и исполнит всяко благоволение благости и дело веры в силе,
With this in view, our constant prayer for you is that our God may count you worthy of the call that you have received, and by his power make perfect your delight in all goodness and the efforts that have resulted from your faith.
12 яко да прославится имя Господа нашего Иисуса Христа в вас, и вы в Нем, по благодати Бога нашего и Господа Иисуса Христа.
Then, in the loving kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ, will the name of Jesus, our Lord, be honored in you, and you in him.
