¹Ale vás prosíme, bratia, ohľadne príchodu nášho Pána Ježiša Krista a nášho shromaždenia k nemu,

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

²aby ste sa nedali hneď zviklať od umu ani sa strašiť ani duchom ani slovom ani listom, ako nami poslaným, ako čo by už bol nastal deň Kristov.

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;

³Nech vás nikto nezvedie nijakým spôsobom, lebo deň Kristov nenastane, kým prv neprijde odpadnutie, a nebude zjavený človek hriechu, syn zatratenia,

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,

⁴ktorý sa protiví a povyšuje nad všetko, čo sa zovie Bôh, alebo čomu sa dáva božská česť, takže sa posadí do chrámu Božieho jako Bôh a bude sa vydávať za Boha.

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].

⁵Či sa nepamätáte, že ešte keď som bol u vás, som vám to hovoril?

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

⁶A teraz to, čo zdržuje, viete, aby bol zjavený vo svojom čase.

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

⁷Lebo tajomstvo bezzákonnosti už pôsobí, len až by ten, kto teraz zdržuje, bol odstránený zo stredu.

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,

⁸A potom bude zjavený ten bezzákonný bezbožník, ktorého Pán Ježiš zabije duchom svojich úst a zkazí zjavením svojho príchodu,

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,

⁹toho bezbožníka, ktorého príchod je podľa mocného pôsobenia satanovho so všetkou mocou a so znameniami a s lživými zázrakmi

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

¹⁰a s každým zvodom neprávosti medzi tými, ktorí hynú, pretože nepriali lásky pravdy, aby boli spasení;

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

¹¹a preto im Bôh pošle mocné pôsobenie bludu, aby uverili lži,

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

¹²aby boli odsúdení všetci, ktorí neuverili pravde, ale si obľúbili neprávosť.

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

¹³Ale my sme podlžni ďakovať vždycky Bohu za vás, bratia, milovaní Pánom, že si vás Bôh vyvolil od počiatku cieľom spasenia v posvätení ducha a vo a vo viere pravdy,

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,

¹⁴k čomu vás povolal naším evanjeliom nadobudnúť slávy našeho Pána Ježiša Krista.

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

¹⁵Tak tedy, bratia, stojte a držte podania, ktorým ste naučení už či slovom a či naším listom.

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

¹⁶A on sám, náš Pán Ježiš Kristus, a Bôh a náš Otec, ktorý nás zamiloval a dal večné potešenie a dobrú nádej v milosti,

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,

¹⁷nech ráči potešiť vaše srdcia a upevniť vás v každom dobrom slove a v skutku.

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