2 Tesalonik 1

1 Mwen menm Pòl, ansanm ak Silven ak Timote, m'ap ekri lèt sa a voye bay manm legliz nan lavil Tesalonik k'ap viv ansanm nan Bondye, Papa a, ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an.

To the Thessalonian church in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, From Paul, Silas, and Timothy.

2 Mwen mande pou Bondye, Papa a, ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.

May God, the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

3 Se yon devwa pou mwen pou m' pa janm sispann di Bondye mèsi pou nou, frè m' yo. Wi, se yon devwa pou m' fè l' vre. Paske, konfyans nou gen nan Bondye ap grandi anpil, renmen nou gen yonn pou lòt ap grandi toujou tou.

Friends, it is our duty always to thank God about you, as is but right, considering the wonderful growth of your faith, and because, without exception, your love for one another is continually increasing.

4 Se sak fè, sa fè m' plezi pou m' nonmen non nou nan tout legliz Bondye yo, pou jan nou gen pasyans, jan nou kenbe konfyans nou fèm nan Bondye nan mitan tout pèsekisyon ak soufrans k'ap tonbe sou nou.

So much is this the case that we ourselves speak with pride, before the churches of God, of the patience and faith which you have shown, in spite of all the persecutions and troubles that you are enduring.

5 Sa fè moun wè se Bondye ki gen rezon lè l'ap jije. Paske, avèk tou sa n'ap sipòte koulye a, n'ap fin bon nèt pou nou ka antre nan peyi kote Bondye wa a. Se pou peyi sa a menm n'ap soufri konsa.

These persecutions will vindicate the justice of God’s judgment, and will result in your being reckoned worthy of God’s kingdom, for the sake of which you are now suffering;

6 Paske, Bondye gen pou fè sa ki byen: Bondye va gen rezon lè la fè moun k'ap fè nou soufri yo soufri tou.

since God deems it just to inflict suffering on those who are now inflicting suffering on you,

7 Kanta pou nou menm k'ap soufri koulye a, la ban nou repo ansanm avè m' lè Jezi va parèt nan syèl la avèk zanj li yo ki gen pouvwa.

and to give relief to you who are suffering, as well as to us, at the appearing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire.

8 La parèt nan mitan gwo flanm dife pou peni tout moun ki pa konn Bondye yo ansanm ak moun ki p'ap mache dapre bon nouvèl ki pale sou Jezi, Seyè nou an.

Then he will inflict punishment on those who refuse to know God, and on those who turn a deaf ear to the good news of Jesus, our Lord.

9 Chatiman moun sa yo, se disparèt y'ap disparèt yo pou tout tan. Y'ap wete yo devan Seyè a, y'ap voye yo jete byen lwen pou yo pa janm resevwa pa yo nan pouvwa Seyè a ak nan lwanj y'ap fè pou li a. (aiōnios g166)

They will pay the penalty of unutterable ruin – banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glorious manifestation of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 Jou sa a, Seyè a va parèt pou l' resevwa lwanj nan men tout moun pa l' yo. Tout moun ki te mete konfyans yo nan li va kontan wè l'. Nou menm tou n'a wè li, paske nou te kwè nan mesaj mwen te fè nou konnen an.

when he comes to be honoured in his people, and to be revered in all who have learned to believe in him (for you also believed our testimony) – as he will be on that day.

11 Se poutèt sa, mwen p'ap janm sispann lapriyè pou nou. M'ap mande Bondye pou l' ede nou pou nou viv yon jan ki dakò ak lavi li mande nou pou nou viv la. M'ap mande l' pou li ban nou pouvwa li, pou nou ka fè tout byen nou vle fè, pou nou fin reyalize nèt travay n'ap fè ak konfyans nan Bondye.

With this in view, our constant prayer for you is that our God may count you worthy of the call that you have received, and by his power make perfect your delight in all goodness and the efforts that have resulted from your faith.

12 Konsa, tout moun va fè lwanj non Jezi a poutèt nou. Nou menm tou, y'a fè lwanj nou poutèt li, gremesi favè Bondye nou an ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, fè nou.

Then, in the loving kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ, will the name of Jesus, our Lord, be honoured in you, and you in him.
