2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

paulaḥ silvānastīmathiyaścetināmāno vayam asmadīyatātam īśvaraṁ prabhuṁ yīśukhrīṣṭañcāśritāṁ thiṣalanīkināṁ samitiṁ prati patraṁ likhāmaḥ|

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmāsvanugrahaṁ śāntiñca kriyāstāṁ|

3 We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,

he bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kṛte sarvvadā yathāyogyam īśvarasya dhanyavādo 'smābhiḥ karttavyaḥ, yato heto ryuṣmākaṁ viśvāsa uttarottaraṁ varddhate parasparam ekaikasya prema ca bahuphalaṁ bhavati|

4 so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

tasmād yuṣmābhi ryāvanta upadravakleśāḥ sahyante teṣu yad dheryyaṁ yaśca viśvāsaḥ prakāśyate tatkāraṇād vayam īśvarīyasamitiṣu yuṣmābhiḥ ślāghāmahe|

5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.

tacceśvarasya nyāyavicārasya pramāṇaṁ bhavati yato yūyaṁ yasya kṛte duḥkhaṁ sahadhvaṁ tasyeśvarīyarājyasya yogyā bhavatha|

6 For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

yataḥ svakīyasvargadūtānāṁ balaiḥ sahitasya prabho ryīśoḥ svargād āgamanakāle yuṣmākaṁ kleśakebhyaḥ kleśena phaladānaṁ sārddhamasmābhiśca

7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

kliśyamānebhyo yuṣmabhyaṁ śāntidānam īśvareṇa nyāyyaṁ bhotsyate;

8 punishing those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

tadānīm īśvarānabhijñebhyo 'smatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādāgrāhakebhyaśca lokebhyo jājvalyamānena vahninā samucitaṁ phalaṁ yīśunā dāsyate;

9 who will pay the penalty: consummate (aiōnios g166) destruction at the face of the Lord and at the glory of his might,

te ca prabho rvadanāt parākramayuktavibhavācca sadātanavināśarūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ lapsyante, (aiōnios g166)

10 when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

kintu tasmin dine svakīyapavitralokeṣu virājituṁ yuṣmān aparāṁśca sarvvān viśvāsilokān vismāpayituñca sa āgamiṣyati yato 'smākaṁ pramāṇe yuṣmābhi rviśvāso'kāri|

11 To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

ato'smākam īśvaro yuṣmān tasyāhvānasya yogyān karotu saujanyasya śubhaphalaṁ viśvāsasya guṇañca parākrameṇa sādhayatviti prārthanāsmābhiḥ sarvvadā yuṣmannimittaṁ kriyate,

12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

yatastathā satyasmākam īśvarasya prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cānugrahād asmatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmno gauravaṁ yuṣmāsu yuṣmākamapi gauravaṁ tasmin prakāśiṣyate|
