1Pea ko eni, ʻoku mau kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ko e meʻa ʻi he hāʻele mai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea mo ʻetau kātoa fakataha kiate ia,
1Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you
2Ke ʻoua naʻa ueʻi ngofua homou loto, pe puputuʻu, ʻi ha laumālie, pe ʻi ha lea, pe ʻi ha tohi ʻo hangē ʻoku meiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Kalaisi.
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.
3ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae ʻaho ko ia , ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai tomuʻa hoko ʻae liliu kovi, pea fakahā ʻae tangata ʻoe angahala, ko e foha ʻoe malaʻia;
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.
4ʻAia ʻoku angatuʻu pea fakahikihiki ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ui ko e ʻOtua, pe ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae hū; pea ʻoku nofo ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo fakahā ia ko e ʻOtua.
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.
5ʻIkai ʻoku mou manatu, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻiate kimoutolu, ne u fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?
5Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?
6Pea ʻoku mou ʻilo eni ʻaia ʻoku ne taʻofia, kaeʻoua ke fakahā ia ʻi hono kuonga.
6Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
7He ʻoku ngaue ni ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻoe angahala: ka ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku taʻofi, kaeʻoua ke toʻo atu ia.
7For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
8Pea ʻe toki fakahā ʻae taha Angakovi, ʻaia ʻe fakaʻosiʻosi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻaki ʻae mānava ʻo hono fofonga, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻi he malama ʻo ʻene hāʻele mai.
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;
9Ko ia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻo tatau mo e ngaue ʻa Sētane ʻi he mālohi lahi, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo loi,
9even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10Pea mo e kākā kotoa pē ʻoe taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻauha; ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa ki he moʻoni, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui ai.
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.
11Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻe fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he mālohi ʻoe kākā, ke nau tui ki he loi:
11Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,
12Pea ke fakamalaʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tui ki he moʻoni, ka nau fiemālie ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni.
12that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13Ka ʻoku totonu ʻemau fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga ʻofeina ʻi he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi kuo fili ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua talu mei he kamataʻanga ki he fakamoʻui ʻi he fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻe he Laumālie, mo e tui ki he moʻoni:
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,
14ʻAia naʻa ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai ʻi homau ongoongolelei, ke mou lavaʻi ʻae nāunau ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
14to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, mou tuʻumaʻu, ʻo kuku mau ʻae ngaahi akonaki ʻaia naʻe akonekina ai ʻakimoutolu, pe ko ha meʻa ʻi he malanga, pe ʻi heʻemau tohi.
15So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.
16Pea ko eni, ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi pe, mo e ʻOtua, ko ʻetau Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofeina ʻakitautolu, ʻo ne foaki mai ʻae fiemālie taʻengata mo e ʻamanaki lelei ʻi he ʻaloʻofa,
16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
17Ke ne fakafiemālie ki homou loto, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea mo e ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
17comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
