< ٢ تسالونيكي 2 >
ثُمَّ نَسْأَلُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ مِنْ جِهَةِ مَجِيءِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَٱجْتِمَاعِنَا إِلَيْهِ، | ١ 1 |
As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being gathered to meet him, we beg you, friends,
أَنْ لَا تَتَزَعْزَعُوا سَرِيعًا عَنْ ذِهْنِكُمْ، وَلَا تَرْتَاعُوا، لَا بِرُوحٍ وَلَا بِكَلِمَةٍ وَلَا بِرِسَالَةٍ كَأَنَّهَا مِنَّا: أَيْ أَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ حَضَرَ. | ٢ 2 |
not lightly to let your minds become unsettled or disturbed by any revelation, or by any message or letter purporting to come from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is come.
لَا يَخْدَعَنَّكُمْ أَحَدٌ عَلَى طَرِيقَةٍ مَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي إِنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ ٱلِٱرْتِدَادُ أَوَّلًا، وَيُسْتَعْلَنْ إِنْسَانُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، ٱبْنُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، | ٣ 3 |
Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For it will not come before the final rebellion against God, when lawlessness is revealed in human form, headed for destruction.
ٱلْمُقَاوِمُ وَٱلْمُرْتَفِعُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا يُدْعَى إِلَهًا أَوْ مَعْبُودًا، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يَجْلِسُ فِي هَيْكَلِ ٱللهِ كَإِلَهٍ، مُظْهِرًا نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ إِلَهٌ. | ٤ 4 |
He is the adversary of everything that is spoken of as a god or as an object of worship, enthroning himself in God’s Temple claiming to be God!
أَمَا تَذْكُرُونَ أَنِّي وَأَنَا بَعْدُ عِنْدَكُمْ، كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ هَذَا؟ | ٥ 5 |
Don’t you remember how, when I was with you, I used to speak to you of all this?
وَٱلْآنَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا يَحْجِزُ حَتَّى يُسْتَعْلَنَ فِي وَقْتِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
And you know now what the restraining influence is which prevents his appearing before his appointed time.
لِأَنَّ سِرَّ ٱلْإِثْمِ ٱلْآنَ يَعْمَلُ فَقَطْ، إِلَى أَنْ يُرْفَعَ مِنَ ٱلْوَسَطِ ٱلَّذِي يَحْجِزُ ٱلْآنَ، | ٧ 7 |
Wickedness, indeed, is already at work in secret, but only until he who at present restrains it is removed out of the way.
وَحِينَئِذٍ سَيُسْتَعْلَنُ ٱلْأَثِيمُ، ٱلَّذِي ٱلرَّبُّ يُبِيدُهُ بِنَفْخَةِ فَمِهِ، وَيُبْطِلُهُ بِظُهُورِ مَجِيئِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Then the lawless person will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth, annihilate him by the splendor of his coming.
ٱلَّذِي مَجِيئُهُ بِعَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ، بِكُلِّ قُوَّةٍ، وَبِآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ كَاذِبَةٍ، | ٩ 9 |
When the lawless person comes, there will be great activity on the part of Satan, in the form of all kinds of deceptive miracles, signs, and marvels, as well as of wicked attempts to delude –
وَبِكُلِّ خَدِيعَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ، فِي ٱلْهَالِكِينَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْبَلُوا مَحَبَّةَ ٱلْحَقِّ حَتَّى يَخْلُصُوا. | ١٠ 10 |
to the ruin of those who are on the path to destruction, because they have never received and loved the truth to their own salvation.
وَلِأَجْلِ هَذَا سَيُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱللهُ عَمَلَ ٱلضَّلَالِ، حَتَّى يُصَدِّقُوا ٱلْكَذِبَ، | ١١ 11 |
That is why God places them under the influence of a delusion, to cause them to believe a lie;
لِكَيْ يُدَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا ٱلْحَقَّ، بَلْ سُرُّوا بِٱلْإِثْمِ. | ١٢ 12 |
so that sentence may be passed on all those who refuse to believe the truth, but delight in wickedness.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَيَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَشْكُرَ ٱللهَ كُلَّ حِينٍ لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلْمَحْبُوبُونَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱخْتَارَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ لِلْخَلَاصِ، بِتَقْدِيسِ ٱلرُّوحِ وَتَصْدِيقِ ٱلْحَقِّ. | ١٣ 13 |
But, friends, whom the Lord loves, it is our duty always to thank God about you, for, from the first, God chose you for salvation through the purifying influence of the Spirit, and your belief in the truth.
ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ إِلَيْهِ بِإِنْجِيلِنَا، لِٱقْتِنَاءِ مَجْدِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ١٤ 14 |
To this you were called by the good news which we brought you, to attain to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
فَٱثْبُتُوا إِذًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِٱلتَّعَالِيمِ ٱلَّتِي تَعَلَّمْتُمُوهَا، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِٱلْكَلَامِ أَمْ بِرِسَالَتِنَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Stand firm then, friends, and hold fast to the truths that we taught you, whether by word or by letter.
وَرَبُّنَا نَفْسُهُ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، وَٱللهُ أَبُونَا ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا وَأَعْطَانَا عَزَاءً أَبَدِيًّا وَرَجَاءً صَالِحًا بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ، (aiōnios ) | ١٦ 16 |
And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and, in his loving kindness, gave us unfailing consolation and good ground for hope, (aiōnios )
يُعَزِّي قُلُوبَكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ كَلَامٍ وَعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
console your hearts, and strengthen you to do and to say all that is right.
