2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,

1 弟兄姊妹，关于主耶稣基督再来和我们到祂那里相聚的事情，

2 not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come.

2 我们现在奉劝你们：无论是什么灵，或是传闻，或是冒充我们写的信，说主的日子已经到了，你们都不要轻易动摇，也不要惊慌。

3 Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed.

3 不管别人用什么诡计，你们都不要上当。因为那日子来临之前，必有离经叛道的事发生，而那不法之徒，就是那注定灭亡的人也要出现。

4 He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

4 他会抵挡主，高抬自己超过一切所谓的神明和人们崇拜的对象，甚至坐在上帝的殿中以上帝自居！

5 Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?

5 我还在你们那里的时候，曾告诉过你们这些事，你们忘记了吗？

6 And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.

6 现在，你们知道是什么拦阻他，使他到了所定的时间才出现。

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.

7 其实那不法之徒的阴谋已经在酝酿中，然而现在有一位在拦阻他。等到拦阻他的那位一离开，

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

8 他就会出现，但主耶稣会用自己口中的气毁灭他，用从天降临的荣光废掉他。

9 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,

9 他来要按照撒旦的伎俩行各种虚假的异能、神迹和奇事，

10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.

10 用尽各种诡计欺骗那些将要灭亡的人，因为他们不喜欢接受那能拯救他们的真理。

11 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,

11 上帝就让他们是非不辨，去相信那些虚假的谎言，

12 in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

12 使一切不相信真理、反喜爱不义的人都被定罪。

13 But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

13 主所爱的弟兄姊妹，我们应当常常为你们感谢上帝，因为上帝一开始就拣选了你们 ，使你们借着圣灵得以圣洁，并且相信真理，从而得救。

14 To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

14 为此，上帝借着我们所传的福音呼召了你们，使你们可以得到我们主耶稣基督的荣耀。

15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.

15 所以，各位弟兄姊妹，务要坚定不移，无论是我们信上的教导还是口头的教导，你们都要坚守。

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope,

16 愿主耶稣基督和爱我们、开恩将永远的安慰和美好的盼望赐给我们的父上帝，

17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.

17 安慰你们的心，使你们在一切善行善言上刚强。
