Kuja Kwa Bwana Na Kudhihirishwa Kwa Mwovu
2 Basi, kuhusu kuja kwa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo na kukusanyika kwetu mbele zake, tunawasihi, ndugu wapendwa, 2 msifadhaike au kuwa na wasiwasi kutokana na utabiri fulani, au taarifa au barua inayosemekana kuwa imetoka kwetu, kusema eti kwamba siku ya Bwana imekwisha kuja. 3 Mtu asiwadanganye kwa namna yo yote maana siku hiyo haitakuja kabla ya uasi kutokea kwanza na yule mwasi adhi hirishwe, yule ambaye mwisho wake ni kuangamizwa kabisa. 4 Yeye anapinga kila ambacho watu hukiita mungu au cho chote kinachoabu diwa; naye hujiweka hata katika Hekalu la Mungu, akijitangaza mwenyewe kuwa ndiye Mungu.
5 Je, hamkumbuki kuwa nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi niliwaambieni mambo haya? 6 Na mnajua kinachomzuia sasa, ili adhihirishwe wakati ufaao. 7 Maana ile nguvu ya siri ya uasi imekwisha anza kufanya kazi; lakini yule anayeizuia ataendelea kufanya hivyo mpaka atakapoondolewa. 8 Hapo ndipo yule mwovu ataonekana, na Bwana Yesu atamwua kwa pumzi ya kinywa chake na kumwangamiza kabisa kwa ufahari wa kuja kwake. 9 Kuja kwa yule mwovu kutafuata kazi ya shetani ambayo itaonyeshwa katika aina zote za ishara bandia na maajabu ya uongo; 10 na katika kila aina ya uovu unaotumiwa kuwadanganya wale wanaoangamia. Wanaangamia kwa sababu walikataa kuipenda kweli wapate kuokolewa. 11 Ndio maana Mungu ameruhusu watawaliwe na nguvu ya udanganyifu ili waendelee kuu amini uongo; 12 na ili wote wasioamini kweli bali hufurahia uovu, wahukumiwe.
Simameni Imara
13 Lakini tunapaswa kumshukuru Mungu daima kwa ajili yenu, ndugu mpendwao na Bwana, maana Mungu aliwachagueni tangu mwanzo ili mwokolewe kwa kutakaswa na Roho na kwa kuiamini kweli. 14 Mungu amewaitieni jambo hili kwa njia ya mahubiri yetu ya Habari Njema, ili muweze kushiriki katika utukufu wa Bwana Yesu Kristo. 15 Kwa hiyo ndugu wapendwa, simameni imara na mshike sana yale mafundisho tuliyowapeni katika mahubiri yetu na kwa barua zetu.
16 Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo mwenyewe na Mungu Baba yetu, ali yetupenda akatupatia faraja ya milele na tumaini jema kwa neema, 17 na awafariji mioyoni mwenu na kuwaimarisheni katika kila jambo jema mnalosema au kutenda.

The Man of Lawlessness
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ(A) and our being gathered to him,(B) we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 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) 3 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. 4 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)
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?(K) 6 And now you know what is holding him back,(L) so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 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. 8 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) 9 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.

2 Thessalonians 2
King James Version
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 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.
3 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;
4 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.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 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:
9 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.
