2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;

Na, he mea tenei na matou ki a koutou, e oku teina, mo te taenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, mo to tatou huihuinga atu ano ki a ia;

2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is [now] present;

Kei hohoro te rurea o o koutou hinengaro, kei ohorere ranei i ta te wairua, i ta te kupu, i ta te pukapuka ranei e kiia ana na matou, e mea ana kua tae tonu mai inaianei te ra o te Ariki.

3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be], except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

Kei tinihangatia koutou i tetahi mea e te tangata: e kore hoki e tae wawe mai, kia matua tae mai te takanga atu, kia whakakitea mai ano hoki te tangata o te hara, te tama a te whakangaro:

4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.

He hoariri nei ia, e whakakake ana i a ia ki runga ake i nga mea katoa e kiia ana he Atua, e karakiatia ana; kia noho ai ia i te whare tapu o te Atua, kia whakaatu ai i a ia ko ia te Atua.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

Kahore ranei koutou e mahara i ahau ano i a koutou, i korerotia e ahau enei mea ki a koutou?

6 And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

Na ka matau koutou inaianei ki te mea e arai ana, kia whakakitea mai ra ano ia a tona taima.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only [there is] one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.

No te mea kei te mahi inaianei te mea huna o te kino, otira tera tetahi kei te arai inaianei, kia whakawateatia rawatia ano ia.

8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;

Ko reira whakakitea mai ai taua tangata kino, e whakangaromia e te Ariki ki te ha o tona mangai, e whakakahoretia ki te putanga nui o tona taenga mai;

9 [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Ara a ia pu, i rite nei tona taenga mai ki te mahinga a Hatana, i runga i te mana, i nga tohu, i nga merekara teka,

10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

I nga mahi tinihanga katoa hoki o te he, i roto i te hunga e whakangaromia ana; no te mea kihai i riro i a ratou te aroha o te pono, kia ora ai ratou.

11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:

Mo konei hoki ka tukua atu e te Atua ki a ratou he pohehe e mahi ana, kia whakapono ai ratou ki te teka:

12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Kia tukua ai ki te he te hunga katoa kahore i whakapono ki te pono, i ahuareka ke ki te he.

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God alway for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Tika tonu ia kia whakawhetai atu matou ki te Atua mo koutou i nga wa katoa, e oku teina e arohaina nei e te Ariki, he mea whiriwhiri na hoki koutou na te Atua no te timatanga ra ano mo te ora, i runga i te whakatapu a te Wairua, i runga ano i te whakapono ki te pono;

14 whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ko te mea tena i karangatia ai koutou e ia, he mea na to matou rongopai, ara kia whiwhi ki te kororia o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

15 So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.

Heoi, e oku teina, e tu koutou: kia mau ki nga whakarerenga iho i whakaakona ai koutou e te kupu, e ta matou pukapuka ranei.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father which loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

Na, ma to tatou Ariki, ma Ihu Karaiti pu ano, ma te Atua, ma to tatou Matua, i aroha mai nei ki a tatou, i homai nei i te whakamarie mutungakore, me te mea pai e tumanakohia atu nei, he meatanga na te aroha noa, (aiōnios g166)

17 comfort your hearts and stablish them in every good work and word.

Mana e whakamarie o koutou ngakau, mana koutou e whakau ki runga ki nga kupu, ki nga mahi pai katoa.
