2 Thessalonika 2
1 Te dongah manuca rhoek mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih a lonah ham neh amah taengah mamih tingtunnah ham nangmih te kan hloep uh.
Now [I want to write to you] about the time when our Lord Jesus Christ will return and when [God] will gather us together to [where Jesus] is. My fellow believers, I urge you
2 Kaimih loh mueihla nen khaw, olka nen khaw, capat nen khaw Boeipa kah khohnin te aka pai coeng bangla ka thui uh te nangmih lungbuei tarha hinghoek tih let ham moenih.
that you think calmly [about any message] that [claims/says] that the Lord has [already] come again. Do not be shaken or alarmed/worried by any such message. [It does not matter] if [it is a message that someone claims God’s Spirit] revealed to him, or if [it is some other message that someone] has spoken, or whether [it is a message that someone claims] that I wrote in a letter.
3 A longim pawt ah pakhat long khaw nangmih n'hoilae boel saeh. Phaelhnah te ha pawk lamhma vetih pocinah kah a capa olaeknah hlang loh a pumphoe hlan atah.
Do not allow anyone to deceive you in any way [with the result that you believe any such message]. 2 Thessalonians 2:3b-5 [The Lord] will not come [MTY] [immediately]. First, [many people] [PRS] will rebel [against God]. The result of their rebelling will be that [they will accept and obey] the man who will sin very greatly [against God].
4 Te long te Pathen a ti boeih neh bawknah soah kingkalh uh tih pomsang uh. Pathen kah bawkim ah amah ngol ham amah te Pathen ni tila tai uh.
He will be the [supreme] enemy [of God]. He will [proudly] exalt himself above everything that [people] consider to be some god and above everything that people worship. [As a result of wanting people to worship him], he will [even enter] God’s Temple and sit down [there to rule]. He will publicly proclaim that he himself is God! But [God] will [certainly] punish that man forever!
5 Nangmih neh n'om vaengah he he nangmih ham ka thui te na poek uh mahnim?
(I am sure that you remember that I kept telling you these things while I was still with you [there in Thessalonica]./Do you not remember that I continued telling you these things while I was still with you [there in Thessalonica]?) [RHQ]
6 Anih te amah tuetang ah pumphoe sak ham aka khoh te khaw na ming uh coeng.
You also know that there is something (OR, someone) that is preventing this man [from being revealed] {[from revealing himself]}. This man is being (held back/restrained) [now] for him to be revealed {that he reveal himself} at the time that [God has planned] [MTY].
7 Olhuep tah olaeknah dongah tueng coeng. Tedae a khui lamloh a saii hlan ah te long te hnap a tuuk.
[Although Satan] is already secretly causing [people] to reject [God’s] laws, (the one/God) who is preventing [this man from revealing himself] now [will continue to prevent him from doing that] until he/[God] removes him.
8 Te phoeiah lailak te khaw pumphoe ni. Anih te Boeipa Jesuh amah ka kah hil neh a ngawn vetih amah a lonah kah a phoenah loh a thup ni.
It is then that [God will allow] this man, who rejects [God’s] laws [completely], to be revealed {to reveal himself}. Then the Lord Jesus will destroy him, by simply commanding it [MTY]. Jesus, by his own glorious arrival, will cause him to become [completely] powerless.
9 Te kah Satan kah bibi lamloh a lonah la a om dongah saithainah neh miknoek boeih, laithae kah khobae rhambae neh ha pawk.
But [before Jesus destroys him], Satan will make him very powerful. As a result, he [will do all kinds of supernatural] miracles and amazing things [DOU] that will seem as though [God has enabled him to do them].
10 Te dongah boethae kah hmilhmaknah cungkuem neh poci uh tih oltak kah lungnah dongah amih khang ham te doe uh pawh.
And by doing wicked [things], he will completely deceive those who will [certainly] (perish/go to hell). [He will deceive them] because they will have refused to love the true [message]. So they will not be saved {God will not save them}. (questioned)
11 Te dongah amih loh laithae te a tangnah uh ham Pathen loh amih taengah aka tlung tholhhiknah he khaw a tueih pah.
So, God, by his power, will enable this man to easily deceive people, so that they will believe what [this man] falsely [claims/says that he is].
12 Te daengah ni oltak aka tangnah pawt tih boethae dongah lung aka tlun rhoek boeih lai a tloek eh.
The result will be that everyone will be [rightly] condemned {that [God] will [justly] condemn everyone} [to be punished] who did not believe the true [message], but who instead gladly chose [to be doing] what is wicked.
13 Tedae Boeipa loh a lungnah manuca rhoek, kaimih loh nangmih ham Pathen te ka uem uh ham a kuek yoeyah. Mueihla kah cimcaihnah neh oltak tangnah dongkah khangnah ham Pathen loh nangmih te thaihcuek la n'tuek coeng.
[Our] fellow believers, whom our Lord [Jesus] loves, we thank God very frequently for you. It is appropriate/right for us to do that, because God chose you (from the beginning [MTY] [of creation/before the world existed]) in order that he might save [you] as a result of [your] believing the true [message] and as a result of [God’s] Spirit setting you apart [for God].
14 Te ham ni kaimih kah olthangthen rhangneh nangmih khaw n'khue. Te t ah mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah thangpomnah te dangnah ham ni.
[We thank God that] he chose you as a result of our [proclaiming] the message about Christ [to you], in order that you might (share in/have) some of the glory that our Lord Jesus Christ has.
15 Te dongah manuca rhoek pai uh van laeh. Kaimih kah olka lamloh, capat lamloh n'thuituen nah singyoe te muk uh.
So, [our fellow believers, continue to be firm concerning what you believe]; that is, continue believing the [true] teaching that we gave to you by our speaking to you and by our [writing] a letter [to you].
16 Amah mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih neh mamih kah pa Pathen loh mamih n'lungnah tih dungyan thaphohnah neh lungvatnah dongkah ngaiuepnah then te m'paek. (aiōnios g166)
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, our Father, loves us and encourages us and causes us to confidently expect [to receive] the eternal things that [he has promised to give to us] as a result of [Christ] acting kindly toward us in a way we did not deserve. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nangmih thinko te han hloep saeh lamtah bibi takuem neh olka then dongah cawt n'duel saeh.
[We strongly pray that] God and Jesus together will encourage you! And we pray that they will cause you to continue doing and saying things that God considers to be good.
