2 Tesalonikafoɔ 2

1 Ɛfa yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo mmaeɛ a ɔrebɛba ne boa a wɔbɛboaboa yɛn ano akɔka ne ho no, mesrɛ mo, anuanom,

NOW we entreat you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him:

2 mommma mo adwene mu nnyɛ mo nnaa sɛ ɛda a Awurade reba no aduru. Ebia, na obi rehyɛ saa nkɔm no anaa obi foforɔ nso gyina so reka asɛm. Anaasɛ nso wɔka sɛ yɛn nwoma a yɛtwerɛeɛ no bi mu na saa asɛm no wɔ.

that ye be not hastily agitated with apprehension, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by discourse, nor by letter, as coming from us, as though the day of the Lord was instantly approaching.

3 Mommma obiara nnaadaa mo saa ɛkwan yi so. Saa Ɛda no remma da gye sɛ atuateɛ a ɛtwa toɔ no aba ama wɔada ɔbɔnefoɔ no a ɔbɛkɔ daa ɔsɛeɛ mu no adi.

Let no man deceive you in any way: because that cannot be till the apostasy come first, and the man of sin appear, the son of perdition,

4 Biribiara a nnipa som na wɔbu no kronkron no, ɔbɛtia mu. Ɔbɛkorɔn ne ho wɔ ne nyinaa so na wakɔtena Onyankopɔn asɔredan mu na waka sɛ ɔno ne Onyankopɔn.

who opposeth himself against, and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or is the object of adoration; so that he in the temple of God sitteth as God, exhibiting himself in public that he is God.

5 Monkae sɛ ɛberɛ a me ne mo wɔ hɔ no, na metaa ka yeinom nyinaa kyerɛ mo.

Do ye not remember that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 Nanso, biribi na atwe no asɛn, na sɛ ɛberɛ no duru a, ɔbɛba.

And now ye know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his own time.

7 Ɔbɔnefoɔ no di ne dwuma dada na deɛ ɛbɛba no remma da gye sɛ wɔayi deɛ ɔkura ne mu no afiri hɔ.

For the mystery of iniquity is already powerfully working; only he that withholdeth hitherto, will do so till he is removed.

8 Ɛno ansa na ɔbɔnefoɔ no bɛba, na Awurade Yesu nam nʼanom home so bɛtu no agu, na ɔde ne ba a ɔbɛba no mu animuonyam asɛe no.

And then that lawless person will appear, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming;

9 Ɔbɔnefoɔ no nam ɔbonsam tumi so na ɛbɛba na wabɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ,

whose appearing is known by fanatical energy, displayed in all power, and signs, and lying miracles,

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

and in every unrighteous delusion among those who perish: in consequence of which things they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 Yei enti, Onyankopɔn resoma nnaadaa tumi ma akɔhyɛ wɔn mu ama wɔagye nsɛm a ɛnyɛ nokorɛ adi.

And for this cause God shall send unto them the energy of delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 Awieeɛ no ara ne sɛ, wɔn a wɔnnye nokorɛ no nni na wɔn ani gye bɔne ho no, wɔbɛbu wɔn atɛn.

that they all might be damned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ ɛberɛ biara yɛda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo a Awurade dɔ mo no. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnam Honhom no tumi so na Onyankopɔn yii mo sɛ nnipa a modi ɛkan a wɔbɛgye mo nkwa na wɔayɛ mo Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ kronkron wɔ mo gyidie a mowɔ wɔ nokorɛ mu no mu.

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath elected you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and faith in the truth:

14 Onyankopɔn nam Asɛmpa no so frɛɛ mo sɛdeɛ mo ne Awurade Yesu Kristo bɛtena nʼanimuonyam no mu.

whereunto also he called you by our gospel, in order to your acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Enti, anuanom, monnyina pintinn na monka mo ho mmata nokorɛ a yɛkyerɛɛ mo wɔ asɛnka ne yɛn nwoma no mu no.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and firmly hold the injunctions delivered to you, as ye have been taught, whether by our discourse, 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 anidasoɔ pa no, (aiōnios g166)

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God, and Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 nkyekyere mo werɛ, na ɔnhyɛ mo den asɛm ne adwuma pa nyinaa mu.

comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
