¹ثم نسالكم ايها الاخوة من جهة مجيء ربنا يسوع المسيح واجتماعنا اليه

¹And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him,

²ان لا تتزعزعوا سريعا عن ذهنكم ولا ترتاعوا لا بروح ولا بكلمة ولا برسالة كانها منا اي ان يوم المسيح قد حضر.

²that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived;

³لا يخدعنكم احد على طريقة ما. لانه لا ياتي ان لم يات الارتداد اولا ويستعلن انسان الخطية ابن الهلاك

³let not any one deceive you in any manner, because — if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed — the son of the destruction,

⁴المقاوم والمرتفع على كل ما يدعى الها او معبودا حتى انه يجلس في هيكل الله كاله مظهرا نفسه انه اله.

⁴who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God — [the day doth not come].

⁵أما تذكرون اني وانا بعد عندكم كنت اقول لكم هذا.

⁵Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, these things I said to you?

⁶والآن تعلمون ما يحجز حتى يستعلن في وقته.

⁶and now, what is keeping down ye have known, for his being revealed in his own time,

⁷لان سرّ الاثم الآن يعمل فقط الى ان يرفع من الوسط الذي يحجز الآن

⁷for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now [will hinder] — till he may be out of the way,

⁸وحينئذ سيستعلن الاثيم الذي الرب يبيده بنفخة فمه ويبطله بظهور مجيئه.

⁸and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,

⁹الذي مجيئه بعمل الشيطان بكل قوة وبآيات وعجائب كاذبة

⁹[him,] whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

¹⁰وبكل خديعة الاثم في الهالكين لانهم لم يقبلوا محبة الحق حتى يخلصوا.

¹⁰and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

¹¹ولاجل هذا سيرسل اليهم الله عمل الضلال حتى يصدقوا الكذب

¹¹and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

¹²لكي يدان جميع الذين لم يصدقوا الحق بل سروا بالاثم

¹²that they may be judged — all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

¹³واما نحن فينبغي لنا ان نشكر الله كل حين لاجلكم ايها الاخوة المحبوبون من الرب ان الله اختاركم من البدء للخلاص بتقديس الروح وتصديق الحق.

¹³And we — we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

¹⁴الامر الذي دعاكم اليه بانجيلنا لاقتناء مجد ربنا يسوع المسيح.

¹⁴to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁵فاثبتوا اذا ايها الاخوة وتمسكوا بالتعاليم التي تعلمتموها سواء كان بالكلام ام برسالتنا.

¹⁵so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;

¹⁶وربنا نفسه يسوع المسيح والله ابونا الذي احبنا واعطانا عزاء ابديا ورجاء صالحا بالنعمة

¹⁶and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

¹⁷يعزي قلوبكم ويثبتكم في كل كلام وعمل صالح

¹⁷comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
