1Rogamus autem vos, fratres, per adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et nostræ congregationis in ipsum:
1Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you
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 quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ 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 be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.
4qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.
4He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
5Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, hæc dicebam vobis?
5Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?
6et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.
6Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
7Nam mysterium jam operatur iniquitatis: tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.
7For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, 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:
8Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;
9cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanæ in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,
9even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis qui pereunt: eo quod caritatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.
10and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,
11Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,
12ut judicentur omnes qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
12that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
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 are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,
14in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriæ Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
14to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15Itaque fratres, state: et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
15So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word 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 our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
17exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere et sermone bono.
17comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
