2 Thessalonians 2

1 But, britheren, we preien you bi the comyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, and of oure congregacioun in to the same comyng,

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to him, we ask you

2 that ye be not mouyd soone fro youre witt, nether be aferd, nether bi spirit, nether bi word, nether bi epistle as sent bi vs, as if the dai of the Lord be nyy.

not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Messiah has already come.

3 No man disseyue you in ony manere. For but dissencioun come first, and the man of synne be schewid, the sonne of perdicioun,

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.

4 that is aduersarie, and is enhaunsid ouer `al thing that is seid God, or that is worschipid, so that he sitte in the temple of God, and schewe hym silf as if he were God.

He 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.

5 Whether ye holden not, that yit whanne Y was at you, Y seide these thingis to you?

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

6 And now what withholdith, ye witen, that he be schewid in his tyme.

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

7 For the priuete of wickidnesse worchith now; oneli that he that holdith now, holde, til he be do awei.

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

8 And thanne thilke wickid man schal be schewid, whom the Lord Jhesu schal sle with the spirit of his mouth, and schal distrie with liytnyng of his comyng;

Then 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;

9 hym, whos comyng is bi the worching of Sathanas, in al vertu, and signes,

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

10 and grete wondris, false, and in al disseit of wickidnesse, to hem that perischen. For that thei resseyueden not the charite of treuthe, that thei schulden be maad saaf.

and 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.

11 And therfor God schal sende to hem a worching of errour, that thei bileue to leesing,

Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,

12 that alle be demed, whiche bileueden not to treuthe, but consentiden to wickidnesse.

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

13 But, britheren louyd of God, we owen to do thankyngis euermore to God for you, that God chees vs the firste fruytis in to heelthe, in halewing of spirit and in feith of treuthe;

But 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,

14 in which also he clepide you bi oure gospel, in to geting of the glorie of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.

to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

15 Therfor, britheren, stonde ye, and holde ye the tradiciouns, that ye han lerud, ethir bi word, ethir bi oure pistle.

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

16 And oure Lord Jhesu Crist him silf, and God oure fadir, which louyde vs, and yaf euerlastinge coumfort and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)

Now our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 stire youre hertis, and conferme in al good werk and word.

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