1Rogamus autem vos, fratres, per adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et nostræ congregationis in ipsum:
1Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,
2ut non cito moveamini a vestro sensu, neque terreamini, neque per spiritum, neque per sermonem, neque per epistolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Domini.
2not 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.
3Ne quis vos seducat ullo modo: quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum, et revelatus fuerit homo peccati filius perditionis,
3Let 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.
4qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.
4He 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.
5Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, hæc dicebam vobis?
5Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?
6et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.
6And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
7Nam mysterium jam operatur iniquitatis: tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.
7For 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.
8Et tunc revelabitur ille iniquus, quem Dominus Jesus interficiet spiritu oris sui, et destruet illustratione adventus sui eum:
8And 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.
9cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanæ in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,
9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,
10et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis qui pereunt: eo quod caritatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.
10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.
11Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,
11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,
12ut judicentur omnes qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
13Nos autem debemus gratias agere Deo semper pro vobis, fratres dilecti a Deo, quod elegerit vos Deus primitias in salutem in sanctificatione spiritus, et in fide veritatis:
13But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.
14in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriæ Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
14To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15Itaque fratres, state: et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
15Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.
16Ipse autem Dominus noster Jesus Christus, et Deus et Pater noster, qui dilexit nos, et dedit consolationem æternam, et spem bonam in gratia,
16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope,
17exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere et sermone bono.
17encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.
