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 وَلَكِنْ بِالنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى رُجُوعِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَاجْتِمَاعِنَا إِلَيْهِ مَعاً، نَرْجُو مِنْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ

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 أَلَّا تَضْطَرِبَ أَفْكَارُكُمْ سَرِيعاً وَلا تَقْلَقُوا، لَا مِنْ إِيحَاءٍ وَلا مِنْ خَبَرٍ وَلا مِنْ رِسَالَةٍ مَنْسُوبَةٍ إِلَيْنَا زُوراً، يُزْعَمُ فِيهَا أَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ حَلَّ فِعْلاً.

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 لَا تَدَعُوا أَحَداً يَخْدَعُكُمْ بِأَيَّةِ وَسِيلَةٍ! فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ لَا يَأْتِي دُونَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَهُ انْتِشَارُ الارْتِدَادِ وَظُهُورُ إِنْسَانِ الْعِصْيَانِ، ابْنِ الْهَلاكِ،

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 الَّذِي يَتَحَدَّى كُلَّ مَا يُدْعَى إِلَهاً أَوْ مَعْبُوداً، وَيُعَادِيهِ مُتَرَفِّعاً عَلَيْهِ. بَلْ إِنَّهُ أَيْضاً يَتَّخِذُ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ مَقَرّاً لَهُ، مُحَاوِلاً أَنْ يُبَرْهِنَ أَنَّهُ إِلَهٌ.

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

5 أَلا تَذْكُرُونَ أَنِّي كَثِيراً مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا عِنْدَمَا كُنْتُ عِنْدَكُمْ؟

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

6 وَأَنْتُمُ الآنَ تَعْرِفُونَ مَا الَّذِي يَحْتَجِزُهُ حَتَّى لَا يَظْهَرَ إِلَّا فِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُعَيَّنِ لَهُ.

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 فَإِنَّ الْعِصْيَانَ الآنَ يَعْمَلُ خُفْيَةً كَأَنَّهُ سِرٌّ. وَلَكِنْ فَقَطْ إِلَى أَنْ يُرْفَعَ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ ذَاكَ الَّذِي يَحْتَجِزُ الْمُتَمَرِّدَ.

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 عِنْدَئِذٍ سَيَظْهَرُ الإِنْسَانُ الْمُتَمَرِّدُ ظُهُوراً جَلِيًّا فَيُبِيدُهُ الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ بِنَفْخَةِ فَمِهِ وَيُلاشِيهِ بِبَهَاءِ ظُهُورِهِ عِنْدَ عَوْدَتِهِ.

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 أَمَّا بُرُوزُ الْمُتَمَرِّدِ، فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ بِقَدْرِ طَاقَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى الْمُعْجِزَاتِ وَالْعَلامَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبِ الْمُزَيَّفَةِ كُلِّهَا،

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 وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْوَاعِ التَّضْلِيلِ الَّذِي يَجْرُفُ الْهَالِكِينَ إِلَى الْعِصْيَانِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْبَلُوا مَحَبَّةَ الْحَقِّ حَتَّى يَخْلُصُوا.

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

11 وَلِهَذَا السَّبَبِ، سَيُرْسِلُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِمْ طَاقَةَ الضَّلالِ حَتَّى يُصَدِّقُوا مَا هُوَ دَجْلٌ،

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

12 فَتَقَعَ الدَّيْنُونَةُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِالْحَقِّ بَلْ سَرَّهُمُ الإِثْمُ.

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 أَمَّا نَحْنُ، فَمِنْ وَاجِبِنَا أَنْ نَشْكُرَ اللهَ عَلَى الدَّوَامِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّهُمُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ اللهَ اخْتَارَكُمْ مِنَ الْبَدْءِ لِلْخَلاصِ، بِتَقْدِيسِ الرُّوحِ لَكُمْ وَإِيمَانِكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ.

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

14 فَإِلَى هَذَا الأَمْرِ قَدْ دَعَاكُمْ بِبِشَارَتِنَا لَكُمْ، لِنَوَالِ مَجْدِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

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

15 فَاثْبُتُوا إِذَنْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِالتَّعَالِيمِ الَّتِي تَلَقَّيْتُمُوهَا مِنَّا، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِالْكَلامِ أَمْ بِرِسَالَتِنَا.

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 وَلَيْتَ رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ نَفْسَهُ، وَاللهَ أَبَانَا، الَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا وَوَهَبَنَا بِنِعْمَتِهِ رَاحَةً أَبَدِيَّةً وَرَجَاءً صَالِحاً،

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

17 يُشَجِّعُ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَيُرَسِّخُكُمْ في كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ وَقَوْلٍ حَسَنٍ!
