テサロニケ人への手紙第二 1
1 パウロ、シルワノ、テモテ、書を我らの父なる神および主イエス・キリストに在るテサロニケ人の教會に贈る。
PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 願はくは父なる神および主イエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。
Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 兄弟よ、われら汝 等につきて常に神に感謝せざるを得ず、これ當然の事なり。そは汝らの信仰おほいに加はり、各自みな互の愛を厚くしたればなり。
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4 されば我らは、汝らが忍べる凡ての迫害と患難との中にありて保ちたる忍耐と信仰とを、神の諸 教會の間に誇る。
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5 これ神の正しき審判の兆にして、汝らが神の國に相應しき者とならん爲なり。今その御國のために苦難を受く。
Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 汝らに患難を加ふる者に患難をもて報い、患難を受くる汝らに、我らと共に安息をもて報い給ふは、神の正しき事なり。
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 即ち主イエス焔の中にその能力の御使たちと共に天より顯れ、
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 神を知らぬ者と我らの主イエスの福音に服はぬ者とに報いをなし給ふとき、
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (aiōnios g166)
10 その時は主おのが聖徒によりて崇められ、凡ての信ずる者（なんぢらも我らの證を信じたる者なり）によりて讃められんとて來りたまふ日なり。
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 これに就きて我ら常に汝らのために祈るは、我らの神の汝 等をして召に適ふ者となし、能力をもて汝らの凡て善に就ける願と信仰の業とを成就せしめ給はんことなり。
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 これ我らの神および主イエス・キリストの惠によりて、我らの主イエスの御名の汝らの中に崇められ、又なんぢらも彼に在りて崇められん爲なり。
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
