2 Thessalonians 1
1 To the Thessalonian Church in union with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, From Paul, Silas, and Timothy.
Pablo, Silvano y Timoteo, a la iglesia de [los] tesalonicenses en Dios nuestro Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo:
2 May God, the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
Gracia y paz a ustedes de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
3 Brothers, 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.
Hermanos, tenemos que dar gracias a Dios siempre por ustedes como es apropiado, pues su fe crece maravillosamente y abunda el amor de cada uno de ustedes hacia los otros,
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.
tanto que nos enaltecemos por ustedes en las iglesias de Dios por su paciencia y fe en medio de todas las persecuciones y aflicciones que enfrentan,
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 afflicted;
evidencia del justo juicio de Dios, para que ustedes sean considerados dignos del reino de Dios, por el cual también sufren.
6 since God deems it just to inflict suffering upon those who are now inflicting suffering upon you,
En verdad es justo que Dios retribuya aflicción a los que los afligen,
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.’
y a ustedes, que son afligidos, les da reposo con nosotros en la manifestación del Señor Jesús desde el cielo con ángeles de su poder,
8 Then he will ‘inflict punishment upon those who refuse to know God, and upon those who turn a deaf ear’ to the Good News of Jesus, our Lord.
en llama de fuego para castigar a los que no conocieron a Dios, y a los que no obedecen a las Buenas Noticias de nuestro Señor Jesús.
9 These men will pay the penalty of unutterable Ruin — banished ‘from the presence of the Lord and from the glorious manifestation of his might, (aiōnios g166)
Éstos sufrirán pena de eterna ruina lejos de la presencia del Señor y de la gloria de su poder, (aiōnios g166)
10 when he comes to be honour ed 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.’
cuando venga en aquel día para ser glorificado en sus santos y ser admirado por todos los que creyeron, porque ustedes creyeron nuestro testimonio.
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.
Por lo cual también hablamos con Dios siempre acerca de ustedes, para que nuestro Dios los considere dignos del llamamiento y cumpla con poder todo deseo de bondad y obra de fe,
12 Then, in the loving-kindness of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ, will the name of Jesus, our Lord, be honoured in you, and you in him.
para que el Nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús sea glorificado en ustedes, y ustedes en Él, según la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo.
