Mga Butang nga Matabo sa wala pa Mag-abot ang Ginoo

Karon mga utod, kon parte sa pagbalik sang aton Ginoong Jesu-Cristo kag sa aton pagtilipon sa iya, nagapakitluoy kami sa inyo nga indi kamo magpalibog ukon magkabalaka tungod sa mga tawo nga nagasiling nga ang Ginoo nag-abot na. Bisan magsiling sila nga amo ato ang ginahambal sang Espiritu Santo sa ila, ukon bisan magsiling sila nga nabatian nila, ukon nabasahan nila ang amon sulat, indi gid kamo magpati. Indi gid kamo magpatalang sa ila bisan ano pa ang ila ihambal. Tungod nga sa wala pa mag-abot ang Ginoo, magakontra ang mga tawo sa Dios kag magaabot ang malaot nga tawo nga nadestino na nga laglagon. Kontrahon niya ang tanan nga ginakabig sang mga tawo nga dios ukon ang tanan nga ginasimba sang mga tawo. Kag kabigon niya ang iya kaugalingon nga mas labaw pa sang sa tanan nga ini. Magapungko siya sa sulod sang templo sang Dios kag magasiling nga siya ang Dios.

Indi bala nga ginsugiran ko kamo sang sini nga mga butang sang una sang nag-ulupod pa kita dira? Kag nahibaluan ninyo kon ano ang nagapugong subong sa pag-abot sang tawo nga ina, gani wala pa siya mag-abot. Pero maabot gid siya kon tion na niya. Matuod nga subong may mga nagakontra na sa Dios, pero kon ano gid ang himuon sang sadtong malaot nga tawo wala pa mahibalui subong. Kag kon ano man ang iya himuon indi pa matabo hasta wala pa makuha ang nagapugong sa iya pag-abot. Pero kon makuha na, magapakita na siya. Pero sa pag-abot ni Ginoong Jesus patyon niya ining malaot nga tawo. Paagi lang sa iya huyop malaglag siya dayon. Kon magpakita na ining malaot nga tawo, gamiton niya ang gahom ni Satanas. Magahimo siya sang tanan nga klase sang mga milagro kag makatilingala nga mga butang nga daw halin sa Dios pero indi. 10 Kag gamiton niya ang tanan nga klase sang pagpangdaya sa mga tawo nga magakalawala. Amo ini ang ila madangatan tungod kay indi sila maghigugma sa kamatuoran nga amo ang makaluwas sa ila. 11 Gani ginpabay-an na lang sila sang Dios nga patalangon kag magpati sang butig, 12 agod masilutan ang tanan nga nagasikway sang kamatuoran kag nagakalipay sa pagpakasala.

Ginpili Kamo agod Maluwas sa Silot

13 Mga utod, nagapasalamat kami permi sa Dios tungod sa inyo nga mga pinalangga sang Ginoo. Kag dapat kami magpasalamat sa iya tungod kay ginpili na kamo nga daan sang Dios nga maluwas[a] paagi sa gahom sang Espiritu Santo nga nagatinlo sa inyo kabuhi, kag paagi sa inyo pagtuo sa kamatuoran. 14 Gintawag kamo sang Dios paagi sa Maayong Balita nga amon ginwali sa inyo. Kag gintawag niya kamo agod makaambit kamo sa kadungganan sang aton Ginoong Jesu-Cristo. 15 Gani mga utod, magpakalig-on kamo kag hupti ninyo sing maayo ang mga tradisyon nga gintudlo namon sa inyo sa pulong ukon sa sulat.

16-17 Kabay pa nga ang aton Ginoong Jesu-Cristo mismo kag ang aton Dios nga Amay amo ang maglipay kag magpabaskog sa inyo agod maayo permi ang inyo ginahimo kag ginahambal. Ginapalangga kita sang Dios, kag tungod sa iya bugay sa aton ginapabaskog niya kita kag ginalipay sa wala sing katapusan, kag ginahatagan niya kita sing paglaom nga may kasiguruhan.

The Man of Lawlessness

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ(A) and our being gathered to him,(B) we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter(C)—asserting that the day of the Lord(D) has already come.(E) Don’t let anyone deceive you(F) in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion(G) occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed,(H) the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God(I) or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.(J)

Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?(K) And now you know what is holding him back,(L) so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back(M) will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed,(N) whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth(O) and destroy by the splendor of his coming.(P) The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan(Q) works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders(R) that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.(S) They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.(T) 11 For this reason God sends them(U) a powerful delusion(V) so that they will believe the lie(W) 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.(X)

Stand Firm

13 But we ought always to thank God for you,(Y) brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[b](Z) to be saved(AA) through the sanctifying work of the Spirit(AB) and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you(AC) to this through our gospel,(AD) that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm(AE) and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you,(AF) whether by word of mouth or by letter.

16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,(AG) who loved us(AH) and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage(AI) your hearts and strengthen(AJ) you in every good deed and word.

  3. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 Or traditions

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
