¹Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;

¹ܒܥܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܥܠ ܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܢܘܫܝܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܕܠܘܬܗ ܀

²to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;

²ܕܠܐ ܥܓܠ ܬܬܙܝܥܘܢ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܘܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܬܢ ܗܝ ܕܗܐ ܠܡ ܡܛܝ ܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܀

³let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

³ܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܛܥܝܟܘܢ ܒܚܕ ܡܢ ܐܤܟܡܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢ ܠܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܡܪܘܕܘܬܐ ܘܢܬܓܠܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܚܛܝܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܒܕܢܐ ܀

⁴he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.

⁴ܗܘ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܐ ܗܘ ܘܡܫܬܥܠܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܐܠܗ ܘܕܚܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܬܒ ܘܢܚܘܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܀

⁵Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

⁵ܠܐ ܥܗܕܝܬܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁶And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

⁶ܘܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܕܢܬܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܀

⁷For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only [there is] one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.

⁷ܐܪܙܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܬܚܦܛܘ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܢ ܗܘ ܡܐ ܕܗܫܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܢܫܬܩܠ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܐ ܀

⁸And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;

⁸ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܤܝܦܝܘܗܝ ܒܪܘܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܢܒܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܀

⁹[even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

⁹ܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܘ ܒܡܥܒܕܢܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܤܛܢܐ ܒܟܠ ܚܝܠ ܘܐܬܘܬܐ ܘܬܕܡܪܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ ܀

¹⁰and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹⁰ܘܒܟܠܗ ܛܘܥܝܝ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܕܗܘܝܐ ܒܐܒܝܕܐ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܩܒܠܘ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܢܚܘܢ ܀

¹¹And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:

¹¹ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܢܫܕܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܥܒܕܢܘܬܐ ܕܛܘܥܝܝ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܠܫܘܩܪܐ ܀

¹²that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹²ܘܢܬܕܝܢܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܝܘ ܒܥܘܠܐ ܀

¹³But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

¹³ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܠܡܘܕܝܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܚܒܝܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܕܓܒܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܀

¹⁴whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ܠܗܠܝܢ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܩܪܟܘܢ ܒܡܤܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹⁵So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.

¹⁵ܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܐܬܩܝܡܘ ܘܚܡܤܢܘ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܝܠܦܬܘܢ ܐܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܐܓܪܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܀

¹⁶Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹⁶ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܚܒܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܒܘܝܐܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܤܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܀

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

¹⁷ܢܒܝܐ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܒܟܠ ܡܠܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ ܀
