¹Now we beg you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

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

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.

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 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;

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

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.

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

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

⁵ܠܐ ܥܗܕܝܬܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁶And now ye know that which restrains, that he should be revealed in his own time.

⁶ܘܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܕܢܬܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܀

⁷For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,

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

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;

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

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

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

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.

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

¹¹And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,

¹¹ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܢܫܕܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܥܒܕܢܘܬܐ ܕܛܘܥܝܝ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܠܫܘܩܪܐ ܀

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

¹²ܘܢܬܕܝܢܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܝܘ ܒܥܘܠܐ ܀

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:

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

¹⁴whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, 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 firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

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

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,

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

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

¹⁷ܢܒܝܐ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܒܟܠ ܡܠܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ ܀
