< 2 Thessalonians 2 >
1 Ní ti bíbọ̀ Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, àti ti ìpéjọ wa sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, àwa wí fún yín ará,
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,
2 kí ọkàn yín má ṣe àìbalẹ̀, tàbí kí ẹ má ṣe jáyà nípa àsọtẹ́lẹ̀, ìròyìn tàbí lẹ́tà tí ó lè fi ara jọ èyí tí ó le wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ wa, tí yóò máa wí pé ọjọ́ Olúwa ti dé ná.
not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come.
3 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni kí ó tàn yín jẹ ní ọ̀nàkọnà, nítorí pé ọjọ́ náà kì yóò dé, bí kò ṣe pé ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ bá kọ́ ṣẹlẹ̀, tí a sì fi ẹni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ hàn, tí í ṣe ọmọ ègbé.
Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed.
4 Òun yóò lòdì sí, yóò sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga sí gbogbo ohun tí a ń pè ní Ọlọ́run tàbí tí a ń sìn, dé ibi pé yóò gbé ara rẹ̀ jókòó nínú tẹmpili Ọlọ́run, tí yóò sì pe ara rẹ̀ ní Ọlọ́run.
He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò rántí pé nígbà tí mo wà pẹ̀lú yín, mo ń sọ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún un yín.
Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?
6 Àti pé nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin mọ ohun tí ń dá a dúró, kí a bá a lè fi í hàn ní àkókò rẹ̀ gan an.
And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
7 Nítorí agbára ìkọ̀kọ̀ ẹni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ti ń ṣiṣẹ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ń dènà yóò máa ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ títí a ó fi mú un kúrò ní ọ̀nà.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.
8 Nígbà náà ni a ó fi ẹni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ hàn, ẹni tí Jesu Olúwa yóò fi èémí ẹnu rẹ̀ pa, tí yóò sì fi ọlá ìpadàbọ̀ rẹ̀ parun.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.
9 Wíwá ẹni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yóò rí bí iṣẹ́ Satani, gbogbo èyí tí a fihàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí àdàmọ̀dì iṣẹ́ ìyanu, àdàmọ̀dì àmì àti àdàmọ̀dì idán,
The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,
10 ní gbogbo ọ̀nà búburú tí a fi ń tan àwọn tí ń ṣègbé jẹ. Wọ́n ṣègbé nítorí wọ́n kọ̀ láti fẹ́ràn òtítọ́ kí wọn sì di ẹni ìgbàlà.
and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.
11 Nítorí ìdí èyí, Ọlọ́run rán ohun tó ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìṣìnà sí wọn kí wọn lè gba èké gbọ́,
For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,
12 kí wọn kí ó lè gba ìdálẹ́bi, àní àwọn tí kò gba òtítọ́ gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n tí wọ́n ní inú dídùn nínú ìwà búburú.
in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n, ohun tí ó tọ́ fún wa ni láti máa dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run nígbà gbogbo nítorí yín, ará olùfẹ́ ní ti Olúwa, nítorí láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run ti yàn yín sí ìgbàlà nípa ìsọdimímọ́ ti Ẹ̀mí àti nípa gbígba òtítọ́ gbọ́.
But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.
14 Òun ti pè yín sí èyí nípa ìyìnrere wa, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè pín nínú ògo Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa.
To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Nítorí náà ará, ẹ dúró ṣinṣin, kí ẹ sì di àwọn ẹ̀kọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí a kọ́ yín mú, yálà nípa ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu tàbí lẹ́tà.
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.
16 Ǹjẹ́ kí Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa tìkálára rẹ̀, àti Ọlọ́run Baba wa, ẹni to ti fẹ́ wa, tí ó sì ti fi ìtùnú àìnípẹ̀kun àti ìrètí rere nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún wa. (aiōnios )
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope, (aiōnios )
17 Kí ó mú ọkàn yín le, kí ó sì kún yín pẹ̀lú agbára nínú iṣẹ́ gbogbo àti ọ̀rọ̀ rere gbogbo.
encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.
