¹Now we beg you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to 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, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as [if it were] by us, as that the day of the Lord is present.

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 not any one deceive you in any manner, because [it will not be] unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been 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 opposes and exalts himself on high against all called God, or object of veneration; so that he himself sits down 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.

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

⁵ Araŋ si fongu kaŋ ay na hayey din ci araŋ se za waato kaŋ ay go araŋ do?

⁶And now ye know that which restrains, that he should be revealed in his own 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 lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,

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 the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing 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.

⁹whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,

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 in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received 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 reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,

¹¹ Woodin sabbay se mo no Irikoy ga halliyaŋ gaabikooni samba i se hal i ma tangaro cimandi.

¹²that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found 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 ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of [the] Lord, that God has chosen you from [the] beginning to salvation in 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.

¹⁴whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, 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.

¹⁵So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

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.

¹⁶But our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us, and given [us] eternal consolation and good hope by 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.

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