2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paulu, Sila àti Timotiu, Sí ìjọ Tẹsalonika, nínú Ọlọ́run Baba wa àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa:

To the Thessalonian church in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, From Paul, Silas, and Timothy.

2 Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà fún yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa.

May God, the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

3 Ó yẹ kí a máa dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run nígbà gbogbo nítorí yín, ará, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti yẹ, nítorí pé ìgbàgbọ́ yín ń dàgbà gidigidi, àti ìfẹ́ olúkúlùkù yín sí ara yín ń di púpọ̀.

Friends, it is our duty always to thank God about you, as is but right, considering the wonderful growth of your faith, and because, without exception, your love for one another is continually increasing.

4 Nítorí náà, àwa tìkára wa ń fi yín ṣògo nínú ìjọ Ọlọ́run, nítorí sùúrù àti ìgbàgbọ́ yín nínú gbogbo inúnibíni àti wàhálà yín tí ẹ̀yin náà ń fi ara dà.

So much is this the case that we ourselves speak with pride, before the churches of God, of the patience and faith which you have shown, in spite of all the persecutions and troubles that you are enduring.

5 Àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ẹ̀rí pé òdodo ni ìdájọ́ Ọlọ́run àti pé nítorí èyí ni a ó kà yín yẹ fún ìjọba Ọlọ́run, nítorí èyí tí ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ṣe ń jìyà.

These persecutions will vindicate the justice of God’s judgment, and will result in your being reckoned worthy of God’s kingdom, for the sake of which you are now suffering;

6 Olódodo ni Ọlọ́run: Òun yóò pọ́n àwọn tí ń pọ́n yín lójú, lójú,

since God deems it just to inflict suffering on those who are now inflicting suffering on you,

7 Òun yóò sì fi ìtura fún ẹ̀yin tí a ti pọ́n lójú àti fún àwa náà pẹ̀lú. Èyí yóò sì ṣe nígbà ìfarahàn Jesu Olúwa láti ọ̀run wá fún wá nínú ọwọ́ iná pẹ̀lú àwọn angẹli alágbára.

and to give relief to you who are suffering, as well as to us, at the appearing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire.

8 Òun yóò fi ìyà jẹ àwọn tí kò mọ Ọlọ́run àti àwọn tí ń ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ìyìnrere Jesu Olúwa wa.

Then he will inflict punishment on those who refuse to know God, and on those who turn a deaf ear to the good news of Jesus, our Lord.

9 A ó fi ìparun àìnípẹ̀kun jẹ wọ́n ní yà, a ó sì ṣe wọn mọ̀ kúrò níwájú Olúwa àti inú ògo agbára rẹ̀, (aiōnios g166)

They will pay the penalty of unutterable ruin – banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glorious manifestation of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 ní ọjọ́ tí yóò jẹ́ ẹni tí a ó yìn lógo nínú àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ àti ẹni àwòyanu ní àárín gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti gbàgbọ́. Èyí kò yọ yín sílẹ̀, nítorí ẹ ti gba ẹ̀rí tí a jẹ́ sí yín gbọ́.

when he comes to be honoured in his people, and to be revered in all who have learned to believe in him (for you also believed our testimony) – as he will be on that day.

11 Nítorí èyí, àwa pẹ̀lú ń gbàdúrà fún un yín nígbà gbogbo, pé kí Ọlọ́run wa kí ó lè kà yín yẹ fún ìpè rẹ̀, àti pé nípa agbára rẹ̀, òun yóò mú gbogbo èrò rere yín ṣẹ àti gbogbo ohun tí ìgbàgbọ́ bá rú jáde.

With this in view, our constant prayer for you is that our God may count you worthy of the call that you have received, and by his power make perfect your delight in all goodness and the efforts that have resulted from your faith.

12 Wọ̀nyí ni àdúrà wa, kí orúkọ Jesu Olúwa wa lè di yíyìn lógo nínú yín àti ẹ̀yin nínú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti ti Jesu Kristi Olúwa.

Then, in the loving kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ, will the name of Jesus, our Lord, be honoured in you, and you in him.
