2 Mga Tesalonica 1
1 Mula kina Pablo, Silas, at Timoteo, para sa iglesya ng mga taga-Tesalonica sa Diyos na ating Ama at sa ating Paginoong Jesu-Cristo.
[I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me. We are sending this letter] to [you]. You are the congregation [of God’s people] in Thessalonica [city]. You belong to God our Father, and you belong to Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaan mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
[We pray that] God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord, [will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to cause you to have inner] peace.
3 Kami ay dapat magpasalamat lagi sa Diyos para sa inyo, mga kapatid. Sapagkat ito ang nararapat, dahil ang inyong pananampalataya ay lumalago, at ang pag-ibig ng bawat isa sa inyo ay nananagana sa isa't isa.
[Our] fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought [to thank God for each other, and] specifically it is appropriate/right [that we should thank God for you. We thank him] that you are trusting in [the Lord Jesus] more and more, and that each one of you is loving [each of] the others more and more.
4 Kaya sa aming mga sarili ay pinagmamalaki namin kayo sa mga iglesya ng Diyos. Pinag-uusapan namin ang tungkol sa inyong pagtitiyaga at pananampalataya sa kabila ng mga pag-uusig sa inyo. Pinag-uusapan namin ang tungkol sa mga pagdadalamhiti na inyong tiniis.
As a result, we keep proudly telling about you to [other] congregations who [worship] God. [Specifically, we tell them] that you are being steadfast and that you [continue] believing [in the Lord Jesus], even though you are frequently suffering [DOU] as a result of people causing you trouble.
5 Ito ay tanda ng matuwid na paghahatol ng Diyos. Ang resulta ay ibibilang kayong karapat-dapat sa kaharian ng Diyos kung saan kayo ay nagdusa.
[Your being steadfast] (shows/indicates to) [us] clearly that God will judge [all people] justly. [Specifically, he] will publicly declare that you are worthy [as his people to be in] that place where he will rule [forever, because] you also are suffering as a result of [telling others about letting] God rule your lives.
6 Matuwid para sa Diyos na ibalik ang pagdadalamhati sa mga nagdulot ng dalamhati sa inyo,
[God will certainly cause trouble for] those people who are troubling you, because he [considers] that it is just that he should punish such people for doing that to you.
7 at kaginhawaan sa inyong mga nagdalamhati na kasama namin. Gagawin niya ito sa pagpapakita ng Panginoong Jesus mula sa langit kasama ng mga anghel ng kaniyang kapangyarihan.
He also [considers] that it is the right thing to do to reward you who are being troubled, by (giving you relief/causing your suffering to end). He will do that for both you and us when our Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, together with his powerful angels and with blazing fire.
8 Sa naglalagablab na apoy siya ay maghihiganti sa mga hindi kumikilala sa Diyos at sa mga hindi tumugon sa ebanghelyo ng ating Panginoong Jesus.
[Then he will] punish those people who do not [want to] know him and [those] who refuse to heed the message about our Lord Jesus.
9 Sila ay daranas ng kaparusahan sa walang hanggang pagkawasak na malayo mula sa presensiya ng Panginoon at mula sa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang kapangyarihan. (aiōnios g166)
[Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)
10 Gagawin niya ito sa kaniyang pagbabalik sa araw na iyon para maluwalhati sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga tao at para mamangha sa pamamagitan ng lahat na naniwala. Sapagkat ang aming mga patotoo sa inyo ay pinaniwalaan.
[The Lord Jesus] will do this when he comes [back from heaven] at the time [that God has decided]. As a result, all we who are his people will praise him because of [what he has done for his own] people, and all we believers will marvel at our Lord because of [what he has done. And you will be there, too], because you believed what we testified to you.
11 Dahil dito lagi namin kayong ipapanalangin. Pinapanalangin namin na ibilang kayo ng ating Diyos na karapat-dapat sa inyong pagkatawag. Pinapanalangin namin na tuparin niya ang bawat pagnanais ng kabutihan at bawat gawa ng pananampalataya na may kapangyarihan.
In order that you might [praise Jesus like this], we are also praying very frequently [HYP] for you. We pray that [you will be able to show] our God that you are worthy [to receive] that which he chose [you to receive]. We pray also that he would powerfully enable you to do good in every way that you desire, and that he would also enable you to do powerfully every [good] thing [that you do because] you believe [in Jesus Christ].
12 Pinapanalangin namin ang mga bagay na ito upang ang pangalan ng ating Panginoong Jesus ay maluwalhati sa pamamagitan ninyo. Pinapanalangin namin na maluwalhati kayo sa pamamagitan niya, dahil sa biyaya ng ating Diyos at ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
[We pray this because we want] you to praise our Lord Jesus, and we want him to honor you. This will happen because God, whom we [worship/serve], and our Lord Jesus Christ will keep acting kindly [toward you] in ways that you do not deserve.
