2 thiṣalanīkinaḥ 1

1 paulaḥ silvānastīmathiyaścetināmāno vayam asmadīyatātam īśvaraṁ prabhuṁ yīśukhrīṣṭañcāśritāṁ thiṣalanīkināṁ samitiṁ prati patraṁ likhāmaḥ|

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah:

2 asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmāsvanugrahaṁ śāntiñca kriyāstāṁ|

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

3 he bhrātaraḥ, yuṣmākaṁ kṛte sarvvadā yathāyogyam īśvarasya dhanyavādo 'smābhiḥ karttavyaḥ, yato heto ryuṣmākaṁ viśvāsa uttarottaraṁ varddhate parasparam ekaikasya prema ca bahuphalaṁ bhavati|

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

4 tasmād yuṣmābhi ryāvanta upadravakleśāḥ sahyante teṣu yad dheryyaṁ yaśca viśvāsaḥ prakāśyate tatkāraṇād vayam īśvarīyasamitiṣu yuṣmābhiḥ ślāghāmahe|

so that we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

5 tacceśvarasya nyāyavicārasya pramāṇaṁ bhavati yato yūyaṁ yasya kṛte duḥkhaṁ sahadhvaṁ tasyeśvarīyarājyasya yogyā bhavatha|

This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

6 yataḥ svakīyasvargadūtānāṁ balaiḥ sahitasya prabho ryīśoḥ svargād āgamanakāle yuṣmākaṁ kleśakebhyaḥ kleśena phaladānaṁ sārddhamasmābhiśca

Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

7 kliśyamānebhyo yuṣmabhyaṁ śāntidānam īśvareṇa nyāyyaṁ bhotsyate;

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

8 tadānīm īśvarānabhijñebhyo 'smatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādāgrāhakebhyaśca lokebhyo jājvalyamānena vahninā samucitaṁ phalaṁ yīśunā dāsyate;

giving vengeance to those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus,

9 te ca prabho rvadanāt parākramayuktavibhavācca sadātanavināśarūpaṁ daṇḍaṁ lapsyante, (aiōnios g166)

who will pay the penalty: everlasting destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 kintu tasmin dine svakīyapavitralokeṣu virājituṁ yuṣmān aparāṁśca sarvvān viśvāsilokān vismāpayituñca sa āgamiṣyati yato 'smākaṁ pramāṇe yuṣmābhi rviśvāso'kāri|

when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

11 ato'smākam īśvaro yuṣmān tasyāhvānasya yogyān karotu saujanyasya śubhaphalaṁ viśvāsasya guṇañca parākrameṇa sādhayatviti prārthanāsmābhiḥ sarvvadā yuṣmannimittaṁ kriyate,

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;

12 yatastathā satyasmākam īśvarasya prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cānugrahād asmatprabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmno gauravaṁ yuṣmāsu yuṣmākamapi gauravaṁ tasmin prakāśiṣyate|

that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
