2 thiṣalanīkinaḥ 2

1 he bhrātaraḥ, asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanaṁ tasya samīpe 'smākaṁ saṁsthitiñcādhi vayaṁ yuṣmān idaṁ prārthayāmahe,

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

2 prabhestad dinaṁ prāyeṇopasthitam iti yadi kaścid ātmanā vācā vā patreṇa vāsmākam ādeśaṁ kalpayan yuṣmān gadati tarhi yūyaṁ tena cañcalamanasa udvignāśca na bhavata|

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 kenāpi prakāreṇa ko'pi yuṣmān na vañcayatu yatastasmād dināt pūrvvaṁ dharmmalopenopasyātavyaṁ,

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 yaśca jano vipakṣatāṁ kurvvan sarvvasmād devāt pūjanīyavastuśconnaṁsyate svam īśvaramiva darśayan īśvaravad īśvarasya mandira upavekṣyati ca tena vināśapātreṇa pāpapuruṣeṇodetavyaṁ|

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 yadāhaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhāvāsaṁ tadānīm etad akathayamiti yūyaṁ kiṁ na smaratha?

Do you not remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

6 sāmprataṁ sa yena nivāryyate tad yūyaṁ jānītha, kintu svasamaye tenodetavyaṁ|

Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

7 vidharmmasya nigūḍho guṇa idānīmapi phalati kintu yastaṁ nivārayati so'dyāpi dūrīkṛto nābhavat|

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

8 tasmin dūrīkṛte sa vidharmmyudeṣyati kintu prabhu ryīśuḥ svamukhapavanena taṁ vidhvaṁsayiṣyati nijopasthitestejasā vināśayiṣyati ca|

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

9 śayatānasya śaktiprakāśanād vināśyamānānāṁ madhye sarvvavidhāḥ parākramā bhramikā āścaryyakriyā lakṣaṇānyadharmmajātā sarvvavidhapratāraṇā ca tasyopasthiteḥ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati;

even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 yato hetoste paritrāṇaprāptaye satyadharmmasyānurāgaṁ na gṛhītavantastasmāt kāraṇād

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.

11 īśvareṇa tān prati bhrāntikaramāyāyāṁ preṣitāyāṁ te mṛṣāvākye viśvasiṣyanti|

And because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

12 yato yāvanto mānavāḥ satyadharmme na viśvasyādharmmeṇa tuṣyanti taiḥ sarvvai rdaṇḍabhājanai rbhavitavyaṁ|

in order that all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 he prabhoḥ priyā bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kṛta īśvarasya dhanyavādo'smābhiḥ sarvvadā karttavyo yata īśvara ā prathamād ātmanaḥ pāvanena satyadharmme viśvāsena ca paritrāṇārthaṁ yuṣmān varītavān

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 tadarthañcāsmābhi rghoṣitena susaṁvādena yuṣmān āhūyāsmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tejaso'dhikāriṇaḥ kariṣyati|

to which he called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

15 ato he bhrātaraḥ yūyam asmākaṁ vākyaiḥ patraiśca yāṁ śikṣāṁ labdhavantastāṁ kṛtsnāṁ śikṣāṁ dhārayantaḥ susthirā bhavata|

So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

16 asmākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭastāta īśvaraścārthato yo yuṣmāsu prema kṛtavān nityāñca sāntvanām anugraheṇottamapratyāśāñca yuṣmabhyaṁ dattavān (aiōnios g166)

Now our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us everlasting comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 sa svayaṁ yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇāni sāntvayatu sarvvasmin sadvākye satkarmmaṇi ca susthirīkarotu ca|

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
