2 Thessalonians 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me. We are sending this letter] to [you]. You are the congregation [of God’s people] in Thessalonica [city]. You belong to God our Father, and you belong to Jesus Christ our Lord.
Paulu, Sila àti Timotiu, Sí ìjọ Tẹsalonika, nínú Ọlọ́run Baba wa àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa:
2 [We pray that] God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord, [will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to cause you to have inner] peace.
Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà fún yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa.
3 [Our] fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought [to thank God for each other, and] specifically it is appropriate/right [that we should thank God for you. We thank him] that you are trusting in [the Lord Jesus] more and more, and that each one of you is loving [each of] the others more and more.
Ó yẹ kí a máa dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run nígbà gbogbo nítorí yín, ará, àní gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti yẹ, nítorí pé ìgbàgbọ́ yín ń dàgbà gidigidi, àti ìfẹ́ olúkúlùkù yín sí ara yín ń di púpọ̀.
4 As a result, we keep proudly telling about you to [other] congregations who [worship] God. [Specifically, we tell them] that you are being steadfast and that you [continue] believing [in the Lord Jesus], even though you are frequently suffering [DOU] as a result of people causing you trouble.
Nítorí náà, àwa tìkára wa ń fi yín ṣògo nínú ìjọ Ọlọ́run, nítorí sùúrù àti ìgbàgbọ́ yín nínú gbogbo inúnibíni àti wàhálà yín tí ẹ̀yin náà ń fi ara dà.
5 [Your being steadfast] (shows/indicates to) [us] clearly that God will judge [all people] justly. [Specifically, he] will publicly declare that you are worthy [as his people to be in] that place where he will rule [forever, because] you also are suffering as a result of [telling others about letting] God rule your lives.
Àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ẹ̀rí pé òdodo ni ìdájọ́ Ọlọ́run àti pé nítorí èyí ni a ó kà yín yẹ fún ìjọba Ọlọ́run, nítorí èyí tí ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ṣe ń jìyà.
6 [God will certainly cause trouble for] those people who are troubling you, because he [considers] that it is just that he should punish such people for doing that to you.
Olódodo ni Ọlọ́run: Òun yóò pọ́n àwọn tí ń pọ́n yín lójú, lójú,
7 He also [considers] that it is the right thing to do to reward you who are being troubled, by (giving you relief/causing your suffering to end). He will do that for both you and us when our Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, together with his powerful angels and with blazing fire.
Òun yóò sì fi ìtura fún ẹ̀yin tí a ti pọ́n lójú àti fún àwa náà pẹ̀lú. Èyí yóò sì ṣe nígbà ìfarahàn Jesu Olúwa láti ọ̀run wá fún wá nínú ọwọ́ iná pẹ̀lú àwọn angẹli alágbára.
8 [Then he will] punish those people who do not [want to] know him and [those] who refuse to heed the message about our Lord Jesus.
Òun yóò fi ìyà jẹ àwọn tí kò mọ Ọlọ́run àti àwọn tí ń ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí ìyìnrere Jesu Olúwa wa.
9 [Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)
A ó fi ìparun àìnípẹ̀kun jẹ wọ́n ní yà, a ó sì ṣe wọn mọ̀ kúrò níwájú Olúwa àti inú ògo agbára rẹ̀, (aiōnios g166)
10 [The Lord Jesus] will do this when he comes [back from heaven] at the time [that God has decided]. As a result, all we who are his people will praise him because of [what he has done for his own] people, and all we believers will marvel at our Lord because of [what he has done. And you will be there, too], because you believed what we testified to you.
ní ọjọ́ tí yóò jẹ́ ẹni tí a ó yìn lógo nínú àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ àti ẹni àwòyanu ní àárín gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti gbàgbọ́. Èyí kò yọ yín sílẹ̀, nítorí ẹ ti gba ẹ̀rí tí a jẹ́ sí yín gbọ́.
11 In order that you might [praise Jesus like this], we are also praying very frequently [HYP] for you. We pray that [you will be able to show] our God that you are worthy [to receive] that which he chose [you to receive]. We pray also that he would powerfully enable you to do good in every way that you desire, and that he would also enable you to do powerfully every [good] thing [that you do because] you believe [in Jesus Christ].
Nítorí èyí, àwa pẹ̀lú ń gbàdúrà fún un yín nígbà gbogbo, pé kí Ọlọ́run wa kí ó lè kà yín yẹ fún ìpè rẹ̀, àti pé nípa agbára rẹ̀, òun yóò mú gbogbo èrò rere yín ṣẹ àti gbogbo ohun tí ìgbàgbọ́ bá rú jáde.
12 [We pray this because we want] you to praise our Lord Jesus, and we want him to honor you. This will happen because God, whom we [worship/serve], and our Lord Jesus Christ will keep acting kindly [toward you] in ways that you do not deserve.
Wọ̀nyí ni àdúrà wa, kí orúkọ Jesu Olúwa wa lè di yíyìn lógo nínú yín àti ẹ̀yin nínú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti ti Jesu Kristi Olúwa.
