1And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him:
1Sasa yahusu kuja kwake Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo na kukusanywa kwetu pamoja tukae naye. Ndugu, tunawaombeni sana
2That you be not easily moved from your sense, nor be terrified, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by epistle, as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand.
2msifadhaike upesi moyoni, na wala msitiwe wasiwasi kwa sababu ya madai kwamba Siku ya Bwana imekwisha fika. Labda inadhaniwa kwamba jambo hili limetokana na uaguzi fulani, mahubiri au barua inayosemekana kuwa imetoka kwetu.
3Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
3Msikubali kudanganywa na mtu yeyote kwa namna yoyote ile. Maana Siku hiyo haitakuja mpaka kwanza ule Uasi Mkuu utokee na yule Mwovu aonekane ambaye mwisho wake ni kuangamizwa kabisa.
4Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God.
4Yeye atapinga kila kitu wanachokiona watu kuwa ni mungu, au wanachokiabudu. Naam, hata ataingia na kuketi ndani ya Hekalu la Mungu akijidai kuwa Mungu.
5Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
5Je, hamkumbuki kwamba niliwaambieni haya yote wakati nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi?
6And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time.
6Lakini kuna kitu kinachomzuia sasa, nanyi mwakijua kitu hicho. Basi, huyo Mwovu ataonekana wakati wake ufaao.
7For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way.
7Hata hivyo, Mwovu huyo aliyefichika anafanya kazi sasa, lakini hataonekana mpaka yule anayemzuia aondolewe.
8And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, him,
8Hapo ndipo Mwovu atakapotokea; lakini Bwana Yesu anapokuja atamuua kwa pumzi ya kinywa chake na kumwangamiza kwa mng'ao wa kuja kwake.
9Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
9Huyo Mwovu atakuja na nguvu za Shetani na kufanya kila namna ya miujiza na maajabu ya uongo,
10And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
10na kutumia udanganyifu wa kila namna kwa wale walio katika mkumbo wa kupotea. Hao watapotea kwa sababu hawakuupokea na kuupenda ule ukweli ili waokolewe.
11That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.
11Ndiyo maana Mungu amewaweka chini ya nguvu ya upotovu, wauamini uongo.
12But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit, and faith of the truth:
12Matokeo yake ni kwamba wote wasioamini ukweli, ila wafurahia dhambi, watahukumiwa.
13Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
13Tunapaswa kumshukuru Mungu daima kwa ajili yenu ninyi ndugu, ninyi mnaopendwa na Bwana, kwa maana Mungu amewateua tangu mwanzo mpate kuokolewa kwa nguvu ya Roho mfanywe watu wake watakatifu kwa imani yenu katika ukweli.
14Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.
14Mungu aliwaitieni jambo hili kwa njia ya Habari Njema tuliyowahubirieni; aliwaiteni mpate kupokea sehemu yenu katika utukufu wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
15Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope in grace,
15Basi, ndugu, simameni imara na zingatieni yale mafundisho tuliyowafundisheni kwa mahubiri yetu na barua zetu.
16Exhort your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word.
16Tunamwomba Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo mwenyewe na Mungu Baba yetu ambaye alitupenda, na kwa neema yake akatujalia faraja ya milele na tumaini jema,

17aifariji mioyo yenu na kuwaimarisheni ili mweze daima kutenda na kusema yaliyo mema.
