1ثم نسالكم ايها الاخوة من جهة مجيء ربنا يسوع المسيح واجتماعنا اليه
1Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you
2ان لا تتزعزعوا سريعا عن ذهنكم ولا ترتاعوا لا بروح ولا بكلمة ولا برسالة كانها منا اي ان يوم المسيح قد حضر.
2not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.
3لا يخدعنكم احد على طريقة ما. لانه لا ياتي ان لم يات الارتداد اولا ويستعلن انسان الخطية ابن الهلاك
3Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,
4المقاوم والمرتفع على كل ما يدعى الها او معبودا حتى انه يجلس في هيكل الله كاله مظهرا نفسه انه اله.
4he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
5أما تذكرون اني وانا بعد عندكم كنت اقول لكم هذا.
5Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?
6والآن تعلمون ما يحجز حتى يستعلن في وقته.
6Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
7لان سرّ الاثم الآن يعمل فقط الى ان يرفع من الوسط الذي يحجز الآن
7For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
8وحينئذ سيستعلن الاثيم الذي الرب يبيده بنفخة فمه ويبطله بظهور مجيئه.
8Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;
9الذي مجيئه بعمل الشيطان بكل قوة وبآيات وعجائب كاذبة
9even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10وبكل خديعة الاثم في الهالكين لانهم لم يقبلوا محبة الحق حتى يخلصوا.
10and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11ولاجل هذا سيرسل اليهم الله عمل الضلال حتى يصدقوا الكذب
11Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;
12لكي يدان جميع الذين لم يصدقوا الحق بل سروا بالاثم
12that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in 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.
13But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;
14الامر الذي دعاكم اليه بانجيلنا لاقتناء مجد ربنا يسوع المسيح.
14to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15فاثبتوا اذا ايها الاخوة وتمسكوا بالتعاليم التي تعلمتموها سواء كان بالكلام ام برسالتنا.
15So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
16وربنا نفسه يسوع المسيح والله ابونا الذي احبنا واعطانا عزاء ابديا ورجاء صالحا بالنعمة
16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
17يعزي قلوبكم ويثبتكم في كل كلام وعمل صالح
17comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
