2 Tesalonikafo 2

1 Nea ɛfa yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo ba a ɔrebɛba ne boa a wɔbɛboaboa yɛn ano akɔka ne ho no ho no, mesrɛ mo anuanom,

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

2 mommma mo adwene mu nnyɛ mo nnaa sɛ da a Awurade reba no adu. Ebia na obi rehyɛ saa nkɔm no anaa obi foforo nso gyina so reka asɛm. Anaasɛ nso wɔka se yɛn nhoma a yɛkyerɛwee no bi mu na saa asɛm no wɔ.

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 Mommma obiara nnaadaa mo saa wɔ ɔkwan yi so. Saa da no remma da, gye sɛ atuatew a etwa to no aba ama wɔada ɔbɔnefo no a ɔbɛkɔ daa ɔsɛe mu no adi.

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 Ɔbɛsɔre atia biribiara a nnipa som na wobu no kronkron no; na ɔbɛkorɔn ne ho wɔ ne nyinaa so na wakɔtena Onyankopɔn asɔredan mu na waka se ɔno ne Onyankopɔn.

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 Monkae sɛ bere a me ne mo wɔ hɔ no, na metaa ka eyinom nyinaa kyerɛ mo.

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

6 Na mprempren munim nea abɔ ne ba no asɛn no sɛnea wɔbɛda no adi akyerɛ mo wɔ bere pa mu.

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

7 Ɔbɔnefo no di ne dwuma dedaw na nea ɛbɛba no remma da, gye sɛ wɔayi nea okura ne mu no afi hɔ ansa.

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

8 Ɛno ansa na ɔbɔnefo no bɛba, na Awurade Yesu nam nʼanom home so betu no agu, na ɔde ne ba a ɔbɛba no mu anuonyam asɛe no.

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 Ɔbɔnefo no nam ɔbonsam tumi so na ɛbɛba na wabɛyɛ anwonwade ne nsɛnkyerɛnne,

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

10 na ɔnam bɔne so adaadaa wɔn a wɔbɛyera no. Wɔbɛyera, efisɛ wɔannye nokware no anto mu, annɔ nokware no amma wɔannya nkwa.

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 Eyi nti, Onyankopɔn resoma nnaadaa tumi ma akɔhyɛ wɔn mu ama wɔagye nsɛm a ɛnyɛ nokware no adi.

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

12 Awiei no ara ne sɛ wobebu wɔn a wonnye nokware no nni na wɔn ani gye bɔne ho no atɛn.

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

13 Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ bere biara yɛda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo a Awurade dɔ mo no. Efisɛ ɛnam Honhom no tumi so na Onyankopɔn yii mo sɛ nnipa a mudi kan a wobegye mo nkwa na wɔayɛ mo Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo kronkron wɔ mo gyidi a mowɔ wɔ nokware mu no mu.

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 Onyankopɔn nam Asɛmpa no so frɛɛ mo sɛnea mo ne Awurade Yesu Kristo bɛtena nʼanuonyam no mu.

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 Enti anuanom, munnyina pintinn na monka mo ho mmata nokware a yɛkyerɛɛ mo wɔ asɛnka ne yɛn nhoma no mu no ho.

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 Yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo no ankasa ne yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn a ɔdɔ yɛn na ɔnam nʼadom mu ahyɛ yɛn daa nkuran ne anidaso pa no, (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 nkyekye mo werɛ, na ɔnhyɛ mo den wɔ asɛm ne adwuma pa nyinaa mu.

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