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

¹Himahleh, unaute aw, i Toupa Jesu Kris hongpaina leh amah tuak dinga i vakikhopna ding thu ah,

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.

²Toupa ni tuh a tungkhinta chihna khain hiam aw, thu jiakin hiam aw, kou akipana laikhak jiak khawngin hiam aw, na lungsim uh a lin pah louhna dingin leh na buai tuan louhna ding un ka honngen uhi.

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,

³Kuamahin bangmahin honkhem kei uhen; puksanna tak a hongtun masak phota, khelhna mipa, mangthang tapa ngei a hongkilat keileh huai ni tuh tung lou ding ahi ngala.

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.

⁴Amah tuh Pathian a hihsak peuhmah uleh, sabiak tengteng douin, a tung ua om tumin a kihihthupi ding: huchiin Pathian temple-a tuin Pathian banghialin a kitung khe ding hi.

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

⁵Na lak ua ka om laiin leng tuabang thu ka honhilh jel chih na theigige kei ua hia?

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

⁶Amah hun tuam kiaa a hongkilat theihna dingin bangin ahia tua kham na thei uhi.

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

⁷Danloua omna thugukin tuin leng a sem lelel ngala; himahleh lakmanga a om masiah tua a khampan huchibangin a kham ding hi.

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;

⁸Huai lakmang chiangin dana talekpa tuh a honkilangta dia, Toupa Jesun amah tuh a kam hatnain a hihlum dia, a hongpaina leh kilaknain a hihmang ding hi.

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

⁹Huai dana talekpa a hongpaina tuh Setan sepdan bang jelin, thilhihtheihna chiteng, chiamtehna chiteng, juau thillamdang chiteng toh,

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.

¹⁰Mangthang lellelte dingin khemna gilou chiteng toh ahi ding; hotdama a om theihna ding ua thutak itna tuh a pom louh jiak un.

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

¹¹Huaijiakin juau thu a ginna ding un, Pathianin diklouhna nasep a kiang uah a honsawl ding.

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

¹²Thu tak ging loua diktatlohnaa kipak zoten siamlouh a tan vek theihna ding un.

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;

¹³Unau, Toupa ngaihtakte aw, Kha hihsiangthou leh thutak gingtaa hotdama om dingin a tunga kipan Pathianin nou a hontel jiakin na tungthu uah jaw Pathian kiangah kipahthu gen jel ding him ka hi uhi.

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

¹⁴Huchimahbang dingin aman tuh ka tangchin hoih un nou a honsam hi, i Toupa Jesu Kris thupina tang dingin.

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

¹⁵Huchiin, unaute aw, ding kip unla, thugousiah thugenin hiam, kon laikhak uhiama nou kon hilhte uh tuh, leh kip un.

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

¹⁶Huchiin, i Toupa Jesu Kris mah leh Pathian i Pa, eite honitpa leh hehpihna jiaka khantawna khamuanna leh lametna hoih honpepan,Na lungtangte uh hihkhamuangin, thil hihhoih leh thugen chiteng ah hihkip hen.

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

¹⁷Na lungtangte uh hihkhamuangin, thil hihhoih leh thugen chiteng ah hihkip hen.
