< 2 Tesalonaika 2 >
1 Pea ko eni, ʻoku mau kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi he hāʻele mai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea mo ʻetau kātoa fakataha kiate ia,
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering to him.
2 Ke ʻoua naʻa ueʻi ngofua homou loto, pe puputuʻu, ʻi ha laumālie, pe ʻi ha lea, pe ʻi ha tohi ʻo hangē ʻoku meiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Kalaisi.
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha: koeʻuhi [ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae ʻaho ko ia], ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai tomuʻa hoko ʻae liliu kovi, pea fakahā ʻae tangata ʻoe angahala, ko e foha ʻoe malaʻia;
Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 ʻAia ʻoku angatuʻu pea fakahikihiki ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ui ko e ʻOtua, pe ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae hū; pea ʻoku nofo ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo fakahā ia ko e ʻOtua.
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 ʻIkai ʻoku mou manatu, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻiate kimoutolu, ne u fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?
Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 Pea ʻoku mou ʻilo eni ʻaia ʻoku ne taʻofia, kaeʻoua ke fakahā ia ʻi hono kuonga.
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 He ʻoku ngaue ni ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻoe angahala: ka ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku taʻofi, kaeʻoua ke toʻo atu ia.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now restraineth [will] restrain, until he be taken out of the way.
8 Pea ʻe toki fakahā ʻae taha Angakovi, ʻaia ʻe fakaʻosiʻosi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻaki ʻae mānava ʻo hono fofonga, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻi he malama ʻo ʻene hāʻele mai.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Ko ia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻo tatau mo e ngaue ʻa Sētane ʻi he mālohi lahi, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo loi,
[Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
10 Pea mo e kākā kotoa pē ʻoe taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻauha; ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa ki he moʻoni, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui ai.
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻe fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he mālohi ʻoe kākā, ke nau tui ki he loi:
And for this cause God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 Pea ke fakamalaʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tui ki he moʻoni, ka nau fiemālie ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni.
That they all may be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 Ka ʻoku totonu ʻemau fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga ʻofeina ʻi he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi kuo fili ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua talu mei he kamataʻanga ki he fakamoʻui ʻi he fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻe he Laumālie, mo e tui ki he moʻoni:
But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth:
14 ʻAia naʻa ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai ʻi homau ongoongolelei, ke mou lavaʻi ʻae nāunau ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
To which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, mou tuʻumaʻu, ʻo kuku mau ʻae ngaahi akonaki ʻaia naʻe akonekina ai ʻakimoutolu, pe ko ha meʻa ʻi he malanga, pe ʻi heʻemau tohi.
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Pea ko eni, ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi pe, mo e ʻOtua, ko ʻetau Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofeina ʻakitautolu, ʻo ne foaki mai ʻae fiemālie taʻengata mo e ʻamanaki lelei ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, (aiōnios )
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios )
17 Ke ne fakafiemālie ki homou loto, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea mo e ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
