2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we beg you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,
Rogamus autem vos, fratres, per adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et nostræ congregationis in ipsum:
2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as [if it were] by us, as that the day of the Lord is present.
ut non cito moveamini a vestro sensu, neque terreamini, neque per spiritum, neque per sermonem, neque per epistolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Domini.
3 Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because [it will not be] unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;
Ne quis vos seducat ullo modo: quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum, et revelatus fuerit homo peccati filius perditionis,
4 who opposes and exalts himself on high against all called God, or object of veneration; so that he himself sits down in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.
5 Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, I said these things to you?
Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, hæc dicebam vobis?
6 And now ye know that which restrains, that he should be revealed in his own time.
et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,
Nam mysterium jam operatur iniquitatis: tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.
8 and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming;
Et tunc revelabitur ille iniquus, quem Dominus Jesus interficiet spiritu oris sui, et destruet illustratione adventus sui eum:
9 whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,
cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanæ in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,
10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.
et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis qui pereunt: eo quod caritatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.
11 And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,
Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,
12 that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.
ut judicentur omnes qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
13 But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of [the] Lord, that God has chosen you from [the] beginning to salvation in sanctification of [the] Spirit and belief of [the] truth:
Nos autem debemus gratias agere Deo semper pro vobis, fratres dilecti a Deo, quod elegerit vos Deus primitias in salutem in sanctificatione spiritus, et in fide veritatis:
14 whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, to [the] obtaining of [the] glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriæ Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
15 So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.
Itaque fratres, state: et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
16 But our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us, and given [us] eternal consolation and good hope by grace, (aiōnios g166)
Ipse autem Dominus noster Jesus Christus, et Deus et Pater noster, qui dilexit nos, et dedit consolationem æternam, et spem bonam in gratia, (aiōnios g166)
17 encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.
exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere et sermone bono.
