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

¹Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

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

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.

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

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,

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

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.

⁵ܠܐ ܥܗܕܝܬܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁵Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

⁶ܘܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܕܢܬܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܀

⁶Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

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

⁷For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

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

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;

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

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

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

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.

¹¹ܡܛܠܗܢܐ ܢܫܕܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܥܒܕܢܘܬܐ ܕܛܘܥܝܝ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܠܫܘܩܪܐ ܀

¹¹Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

¹²ܘܢܬܕܝܢܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܝܘ ܒܥܘܠܐ ܀

¹²that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

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

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;

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

¹⁴to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

¹⁵So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

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

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

¹⁷ܢܒܝܐ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܒܟܠ ܡܠܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ ܀

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