テサロニケ人への手紙第二 2
1 兄弟等よ、我主イエズス、キリストの再臨に就き、又我等が之と一致すべき事に就きては、
Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you
2 或は霊により、或は我等より出でしが如き物語、或は書簡によりて、主の日迫れりとて汝等が容易く本心より動かされず、又驚かされざらん事を希ふ。
not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of the Lord had come.
3 誰にも決して欺かるること勿れ、蓋先棄教の事來りて、罪の人即ち亡の子顕るるに非ずば、[主の日は來らじ]。
Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
4 彼は反對して一切の所謂神、又は禮拝物に激しく立逆らひ、神殿に坐して自ら神たるが如く己を示すにすら至るべし。
he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
5 我が尚汝等の中に在りし時、是等の事を言ひ居たりしを、汝等は記憶せざるか。
Do you not remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?
6 彼の時期に至りて顕れしめん為に今彼を止むる者の何たるかは、汝等の知る所なり。
Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
7 蓋不義の奥義は既に活動せり、但今之を止めつつある者の除かるる迄なり。
For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
8 其時彼の不義者顕され、主イエズス御口の息を以て之を殺し、己が降臨の光榮を以て之を亡ぼし給ふべし。
Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;
9 彼者の來るはサタンの勢力に由る事にして、一切の異能の業と徴と僞りの奇蹟と、
even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 不義の誑惑とを盡して亡ぶる人々に當らん。是彼等が救はるる様、眞理の愛を受けざりし故なり。然れば神其中に惑を働かしめ給ひて、彼等は偽を信ずるに至らん。
and with all deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 是眞理を信ぜずして不義に同意したる人々の悉く審判せられん為なり。
in order that all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 然れど主に愛せられ奉る兄弟等よ、我等は常に汝等の為に神に感謝し奉るべきなり、其は神、[聖]霊によれる成聖と眞理の信仰とによりて救霊を得しむべく、素より汝等を選み給ひたればなり。
But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;
14 我等の福音を以て汝等を之に召し給ひしも、我主イエズス、キリストの光榮を得しめ給はん為なり。
to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 然れば兄弟等よ、毅然として我等の或は物語、或は書簡に由りて習ひし傳を守れ。
So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us everlasting comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
17 汝等の心を勧めて凡ての善き業と言とに堅うし給はん事を。
comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
