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

¹[Fanitsiana ny hadisoan-kevitry ny sasany ny amin'ny andron'ny Tompo] Ary mangataka aminareo izahay, ry rahalahy, ny amin'ny fihavian'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika sy ny hanangonana antsika ho eo aminy,

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.

²mba tsy halaky hohetsiketsehina amin'ny saina na hampitahorina ianareo, na amin'ny fanahy, na amin'ny teny, na amin'ny epistily izay toa avy aminay, milaza fa efa miandoha ny andron'ny Tompo.

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,

³Aza mety hofitahin'olona akory ianareo; fa tsy ho avy izany, raha tsy efa tonga aloha ny fihemorana, ka hiseho ilay lehilahin'ota, dia ilay zanaky ny fahaverezana,

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.

⁴ilay manohitra ka manandra-tena ho ambony noho izay rehetra atao hoe Andriamanitra, na izay ivavahana, ka dia mipetraka eo amin'ny tempolin'Andriamanitra izy ka manao ny tenany ho Andriamanitra.

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

⁵Tsy tsaroanareo va fa fony mbola teo aminareo ihany aho, dia efa nilaza izany zavatra izany taminareo?

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

⁶Ary ankehitriny fantatrareo ny zavatra misakana, mba hampisehoana azy amin'ny fotoan'androny.

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

⁷Fa miasa sahady ny zava-miafina, dia ny tsi-fankatoavan-dalàna. kanefa mandra-panaisotra ilay misakana ankehitriny ihany. [ Na: kanefa ao ihany ilay misakana mandra-panaisotra azy]

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;

⁸Ary dia haseho ilay tena mpandika lalàna, izay holevonin'i Jesosy Tompo amin'ny fofonain'ny vavany ary hofoanany amin'ny fisehoan'ny fihaviany; [ Na:(holevonin'ny Tompo)]

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

⁹ny fihavin'ilehiny dia araka ny fiàsan'i Satana amin'ny hery sy ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana mandainga rehetra

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.

¹⁰ary ny famitahana momba ny tsi-fahamarinana amin'izay ho very, satria tsy nandray ny fitiavana ny fahamarinana izay hamonjena azy izy.

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

¹¹Koa izany no ampanateran'Andriamanitra fiàsan'ny fahadisoan-kevitra aminy hinoany ny lainga,

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

¹²mba hohelohina avokoa izay rehetra tsy nino ny marina, fa nankasitraka ny tsy marina.

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;

¹³[Fananarana sy fanaovam-beloma] Fa izahay tsy maintsy misaotra an'Andriamanitra mandrakariva ny aminareo, ry rahalahy malalan'ny Tompo, satria Andriamanitra efa nifidy anareo hatramin'ny voalohany hahazo famonjena amin'ny fanamasinan'ny Fanahy sy ny finoana ny marina,

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

¹⁴sady ho amin'izany koa no niantsoany anareo tamin'ny filazantsaranay hahazoanareo ny voninahitr'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

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

¹⁵Koa tomoera tsara, ry rahalahy, ka hazòny ny fampianarana natolotra izay nampianarina anareo, na tamin'ny teninay, na tamin'ny epistilinay.

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

¹⁶Ary Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika sy Andriamanitra Raintsika, Izay efa tia antsika ka nanome antsika fampiononana mandrakizay sy fanantenana tsara amin'ny fahasoavana,no hampionona ny fonareo anie sy hampahery anareo amin'ny asa sy ny teny tsara rehetra.

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

¹⁷no hampionona ny fonareo anie sy hampahery anareo amin'ny asa sy ny teny tsara rehetra.
