Thessalonicenses Ii 1
1 Paulus, et Sylvanus, et Timotheus, Ecclesiæ Thessalonicensium in Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Gratias agere debemus semper Deo pro vobis, fratres, ita ut dignum est, quoniam supercrescit fides vestra, et abundat charitas uniuscuiusque vestrum in invicem:
I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.
4 ita ut et nos ipsi in vobis gloriemur in Ecclesiis Dei, pro patientia vestra, et fide, et in omnibus persecutionibus vestris, et tribulationibus, quas sustinetis
So that I myself am boasting about you among the churches of God, boasting of the stedfastness and faith which you are displaying in all the troubles and afflictions which you are enduring.
5 in exemplum iusti iudicii Dei, ut digni habeamini in regno Dei, pro quo et patimini.
They are an evidence of the righteous judgment of God, who will count you worthy of his kingdom, in behalf of which you are even now suffering.
6 si tamen iustum est apud Deum retribuere tribulationem iis, qui vos tribulant:
For truly God’s justice must render back trouble to those who are troubling you,
7 et vobis, qui tribulamini, requiem nobiscum in revelatione Domini Iesu de cælo cum angelis virtutis eius,
and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,
8 in flamma ignis dantis vindictam iis, qui non noverunt Deum, et qui non obediunt Evangelio Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
in flaming fire. Then shall he take vengeance on those who know not God, even on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
They shall suffer punishment, even an eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the brightness of his glorious majesty, (aiōnios g166)
10 cum venerit glorificari in sanctis suis, et admirabilis fieri in omnibus, qui crediderunt, quia creditum est testimonium nostrum super vos in die illo.
when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all believers, on that Day; (for you also believed our testimony).
11 In quo etiam oramus semper pro vobis: ut dignetur vos vocatione sua Deus noster, et impleat omnem voluntatem bonitatis, et opus fidei in virtute,
To this end I am making my constant prayer for you, beseeching God to make you worthy of your calling, and to fulfil mightily every desire of goodness and effort of faith;
12 ut clarificetur nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi in vobis, et vos in illo secundum gratiam Dei nostri, et Domini Iesu Christi.
so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in him, according to the grace of our God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
