Προς Θεσσαλονικεις Β΄ 2

1 ερωτωμεν δε υμας αδελφοι υπερ της παρουσιας του κυριου {VAR1: [ημων] } {VAR2: ημων } ιησου χριστου και ημων επισυναγωγης επ αυτον

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet him, I entreat you, brothers,

2 εις το μη ταχεως σαλευθηναι υμας απο του νοος μηδε θροεισθαι μητε δια πνευματος μητε δια λογου μητε δι επιστολης ως δι ημων ως οτι ενεστηκεν η ημερα του κυριου

not to be "quickly shaken out of your wits" and not to be agitated either by a spirit or by a message, or by an epistle purporting to be from me, saying, "The Day of the Lord is at hand."

3 μη τις υμας εξαπατηση κατα μηδενα τροπον οτι εαν μη ελθη η αποστασια πρωτον και αποκαλυφθη ο ανθρωπος της ανομιας ο υιος της απωλειας

Let no one deceive you by any means. For it will not come until after the Great Apostasy, and the revealing of the Man of Sin, the son of perdition,

4 ο αντικειμενος και υπεραιρομενος επι παντα λεγομενον θεον η σεβασμα ωστε αυτον εις τον ναον του θεου καθισαι αποδεικνυντα εαυτον οτι εστιν θεος

the adversary, who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, or is an object of worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, and vaunts himself as God.

5 ου μνημονευετε οτι ετι ων προς υμας ταυτα ελεγον υμιν

Do you not recall that I often told you this, when I was with you?

6 και νυν το κατεχον οιδατε εις το αποκαλυφθηναι αυτον εν τω {VAR1: αυτου } {VAR2: εαυτου } καιρω

And now you know what is holding him back, to the end that he may be revealed in his appointed time.

7 το γαρ μυστηριον ηδη ενεργειται της ανομιας μονον ο κατεχων αρτι εως εκ μεσου γενηται

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only there is one who is hindering and will continue to hinder till he be removed;

8 και τοτε αποκαλυφθησεται ο ανομος ον ο κυριος [ιησους] ανελει τω πνευματι του στοματος αυτου και καταργησει τη επιφανεια της παρουσιας αυτου

and then the lawless one will be revealed. Him the Lord will consume with the breath of his lips, and destroy with the brightness of his appearing;

9 ου εστιν η παρουσια κατ ενεργειαν του σατανα εν παση δυναμει και σημειοις και τερασιν ψευδους

even he whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, in every power and sign and lying wonder,

10 και εν παση απατη αδικιας τοις απολλυμενοις ανθ ων την αγαπην της αληθειας ουκ εδεξαντο εις το σωθηναι αυτους

and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their salvation.

11 και δια τουτο πεμπει αυτοις ο θεος ενεργειαν πλανης εις το πιστευσαι αυτους τω ψευδει

For this reason God is sending on them an energy of delusion, that they should put faith in a falsehood;

12 ινα κριθωσιν παντες οι μη πιστευσαντες τη αληθεια αλλα ευδοκησαντες τη αδικια

so that they all should be condemned, who are faithless to the truth, but take pleasure in evil.

13 ημεις δε οφειλομεν ευχαριστειν τω θεω παντοτε περι υμων αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο κυριου οτι ειλατο υμας ο θεος {VAR1: απ αρχης } {VAR2: απαρχην } εις σωτηριαν εν αγιασμω πνευματος και πιστει αληθειας

But for you, brothers, whom the Lord loves, I ought to give thanks to God continually, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation in consecration of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

14 εις ο {VAR2: [και] } εκαλεσεν υμας δια του ευαγγελιου ημων εις περιποιησιν δοξης του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

For this he called you through my gospel, so that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 αρα ουν αδελφοι στηκετε και κρατειτε τας παραδοσεις ας εδιδαχθητε ειτε δια λογου ειτε δι επιστολης ημων

So, brothers, stand fast, and hold fast the teachings which you have been taught by me, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

16 αυτος δε ο κυριος ημων ιησους χριστος και [ο] θεος ο πατηρ ημων ο αγαπησας ημας και δους παρακλησιν αιωνιαν και ελπιδα αγαθην εν χαριτι (aiōnios g166)

And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and a good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 παρακαλεσαι υμων τας καρδιας και στηριξαι εν παντι εργω και λογω αγαθω

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