1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
1 Sohõ, nya-izey, iri Rabbi Yesu Almasihu kaayaŋo ciine ra, da iri marguyaŋo a do, iri goono g'araŋ ŋwaaray
2That 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.
2 araŋ ma si zinji nda waasi araŋ laakaley ra. Araŋ laakaley ma si tun mo biya* fo fahamandiyaŋ sabbay se, wala sanni fo sabbay se, wala tira kaŋ i ne, way, a fun iri do sabbay se, kaŋ ne, way, Rabbi zaaro jin ka kaa.
3Let 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;
3 Mate kulu kaŋ no, wa si naŋ boro kulu m'araŋ halli. Zama zaaro din si kaa kala nda murteyaŋo jin ka te. Asariya taamukwa mo ma bangay jina, nga kaŋ ti halaciyaŋ izo.
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
4 Nga no ga murte ka nga boŋ beerandi ka bisa hay kulu kaŋ se i ga ne irikoy, wala hay kulu kaŋ se i goono ga sombu, hal a ga goro Irikoy* fuwo ra, ka nga boŋ fe ka ne nga wo Irikoy no.
5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
5 Araŋ si fongu kaŋ ay na hayey din ci araŋ se za waato kaŋ ay go araŋ do?
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
6 Sohõ mo araŋ ga bay haŋ kaŋ no goono g'a gaay, kaŋ ga naŋ a ma si bangay kala nga alwaato ra.
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
7 Zama asariya taamuyaŋ gundo goono ga goy baa sohõ. Kala day nga kaŋ goono g'a gaay sohõ g'a te hal i ma nga kaa fonda gaa.
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
8 Waato din gaa no asariya taamukwa ga bangay. Rabbi g'a zeeri nda nga me funsuyaŋo k'a halaci mo da nga kaayaŋo kaaro.
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
9 Asariya taamukwa din kaayaŋo ga te Saytan* dabaro ra, da dabari goy kulu dumi, da alaama, da dambara hari kaŋ yaŋ ciya tangari wane yaŋ,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
10 da fafagay goy laalo kulu dumi borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga halaci se. I goono ga halaci zama i wangu ka ba cimo hal i ma du faaba.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
11 Woodin sabbay se mo no Irikoy ga halliyaŋ gaabikooni samba i se hal i ma tangaro cimandi.
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
12 Gaa no borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ mana cimo cimandi, amma i maa kaani goy laalo teeyaŋ ra, Irikoy m'i ciiti ka zeeri.
13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
13 Iri ga hima ka Irikoy saabu alwaati kulu araŋ sabbay se, nya-izey kaŋ Rabbi ga ba. Zama Irikoy n'araŋ suuban za sintina araŋ ma du faaba se, fayyaŋo kaŋ Biya* _Hanno|_ te araŋ se da cimi gaa deyaŋo do.
14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
14 Woodin sabbay se a n'araŋ ce iri Baaru Hanna do hal araŋ ma du iri Rabbi Yesu Almasihu darza.
15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
15 Woodin sabbay se binde, nya-izey, araŋ ma kay, araŋ ma dondonandiyaŋey kaŋ iri n'araŋ dondonandi nd'a gaay, da me-da-me no wala nd'iri tira do waney.
16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
16 Iri Rabbi Yesu Almasihu bumbo d'iri Baabo Irikoy m'araŋ biney gaabandi k'araŋ sinji goy hanno nda sanni hanno kulu ra. Nga no ba iri k'iri no hal abada bine-gaabi nda beeje hanno gomni do.
17Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
