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 弟兄们，论到我们主耶稣基督降临和我们到他那里聚集，

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 我劝你们：无论有灵、有言语、有冒我名的书信，说主的日子现在 到了，不要轻易动心，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 人不拘用什么法子，你们总不要被他诱惑；因为那日子以前，必有离道反教的事，并有那大罪人，就是沉沦之子，显露出来。

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 他是抵挡主，高抬自己，超过一切称为神的和一切受人敬拜的，甚至坐在 神的殿里，自称是 神。

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，曾把这些事告诉你们，你们不记得吗？

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

6 现在你们也知道，那拦阻他的是什么，是叫他到了的时候才可以显露。

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 因为那不法的隐意已经发动，只是现在有一个拦阻的，等到那拦阻的被除去，

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 那时这不法的人必显露出来。主耶稣要用口中的气灭绝他，用降临的荣光废掉他。

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 这不法的人来，是照撒但的运动，行各样的异能、神迹，和一切虚假的奇事，

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 并且在那沉沦的人身上行各样出于不义的诡诈；因他们不领受爱真理的心，使他们得救。

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

11 故此， 神就给他们一个生发错误的心，叫他们信从虚谎，

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

12 使一切不信真理、倒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 主所爱的弟兄们哪，我们本该常为你们感谢 神；因为他从起初拣选了你们，叫你们因信真道，又被圣灵感动，成为圣洁，能以得救。

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

14 神借我们所传的福音召你们到这地步，好得着我们主耶稣基督的荣光。

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

15 所以，弟兄们，你们要站立得稳，凡所领受的教训，不拘是我们口传的，是信上写的，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 但愿我们主耶稣基督和那爱我们、开恩将永远的安慰并美好的盼望赐给我们的父 神，

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

17 安慰你们的心，并且在一切善行善言上坚固你们。
