| 1 ثم نسالكم ايها الاخوة من جهة مجيء ربنا يسوع المسيح واجتماعنا اليه | 1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren, |
| 2 ان لا تتزعزعوا سريعا عن ذهنكم ولا ترتاعوا لا بروح ولا بكلمة ولا برسالة كانها منا اي ان يوم المسيح قد حضر. | 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. |
| 3 لا يخدعنكم احد على طريقة ما. لانه لا ياتي ان لم يات الارتداد اولا ويستعلن انسان الخطية ابن الهلاك | 3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, |
| 4 المقاوم والمرتفع على كل ما يدعى الها او معبودا حتى انه يجلس في هيكل الله كاله مظهرا نفسه انه اله. | 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. |
| 5 أما تذكرون اني وانا بعد عندكم كنت اقول لكم هذا. | 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this? |
| 6 والآن تعلمون ما يحجز حتى يستعلن في وقته. | 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. |
| 7 لان سرّ الاثم الآن يعمل فقط الى ان يرفع من الوسط الذي يحجز الآن | 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. |
| 8 وحينئذ سيستعلن الاثيم الذي الرب يبيده بنفخة فمه ويبطله بظهور مجيئه. | 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming. |
| 9 الذي مجيئه بعمل الشيطان بكل قوة وبآيات وعجائب كاذبة | 9 The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders, |
| 10 وبكل خديعة الاثم في الهالكين لانهم لم يقبلوا محبة الحق حتى يخلصوا. | 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. |
| 11 ولاجل هذا سيرسل اليهم الله عمل الضلال حتى يصدقوا الكذب | 11 Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, |
| 12 لكي يدان جميع الذين لم يصدقوا الحق بل سروا بالاثم | 12 so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. |
| 13 واما نحن فينبغي لنا ان نشكر الله كل حين لاجلكم ايها الاخوة المحبوبون من الرب ان الله اختاركم من البدء للخلاص بتقديس الروح وتصديق الحق. | 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. |
| 14 الامر الذي دعاكم اليه بانجيلنا لاقتناء مجد ربنا يسوع المسيح. | 14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 15 فاثبتوا اذا ايها الاخوة وتمسكوا بالتعاليم التي تعلمتموها سواء كان بالكلام ام برسالتنا. | 15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. |
| 16 وربنا نفسه يسوع المسيح والله ابونا الذي احبنا واعطانا عزاء ابديا ورجاء صالحا بالنعمة | 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, |
| 17 يعزي قلوبكم ويثبتكم في كل كلام وعمل صالح | 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. |
