2 Thessalonians 1

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

Pavel in Silván ter Timótej, cerkvi Tesaloníčanov v Bogu, našem Očetu in Gospodu Jezusu Kristusu:

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

›Milost vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹

3 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.

Dolžni smo, da se vedno zahvaljujemo Bogu za vas, bratje, kakor se spodobi, zato ker ta vaša vera silno raste in je ljubezen vsakogar izmed vas vseh do drug drugega obilna,

4 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.

tako, da se mi sami ponašamo z vami po Božjih cerkvah, zaradi vaše potrpežljivosti in vere, v vseh vaših preganjanjih in stiskah, ki jih prenašate;

5 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;

kar je razpoznaven simbol pravične Božje sodbe, da boste lahko šteti vredne Božjega kraljestva, za katerega tudi trpite.

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

Čeprav je pri Bogu pravična stvar, da poplača stisko tem, ki vas stiskajo;

7 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.

vam pa, ki ste stiskani, počitek z nami, ko se bo Gospod Jezus, razodet iz nebes, s svojimi mogočnimi angeli,

8 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.

v plamenečem ognju maščeval na teh, ki ne poznajo Boga in ne ubogajo evangelija našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa;

9 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)

ki bodo kaznovani z večnim uničenjem proč od Gospodove prisotnosti in proč od slave njegove moči; (aiōnios g166)

10 when he comes to be honored 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.

ko bo prišel, da bo proslavljen v svojih svetih in da bo občudovan v vseh teh, ki verujejo (ker so verovali našemu pričevanju med vami) na tisti dan.

11 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.

Zatorej tudi vedno molimo za vas, da vas bo naš Bog imel za vredne te poklicanosti in izpolnite vso dobro voljo njegove dobrote ter delo vere v môči;

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

da bo v vas lahko proslavljeno ime našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in vi v njem, glede na milost našega Boga in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
