2 Thessalonians 2 – KJV & NEN

King James Version

2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That 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. 3Let 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; 4Who 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. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And 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: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13But 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: 14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16Now 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, 17Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

2 Wathesalonike 2:1-17

Yule Mtu Wa Kuasi

12:1 Mk 13:27; 1The 4:15-17Ndugu, kuhusu kuja kwake Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo na kukusanyika kwetu pamoja mbele zake, tunawasihi, 22:2 2The 3:17; 1Kor 1:8msiyumbishwe kwa urahisi wala msitiwe wasiwasi na roho wala neno au barua inayosemekana kuwa imetoka kwetu, isemayo kwamba siku ya Bwana imekwisha kuwako. 32:3 Mk 13:5; Dan 8:25; Ufu 13:5, 6Mtu yeyote na asiwadanganye kwa namna yoyote kwa maana siku ile haitakuja mpaka uasi utokee kwanza, na yule mtu wa kuasi adhihirishwe, yule ambaye amehukumiwa kuangamizwa kabisa. 42:4 1Kor 8:5; Isa 14:13, 14; Eze 28:2Yeye atapingana na kujitukuza juu ya kila kitu kiitwacho Mungu au kinachoabudiwa, ili kujiweka juu katika Hekalu la Mungu, akijitangaza mwenyewe kuwa ndiye Mungu.

52:5 1The 3:4Je, hamkumbuki ya kwamba nilipokuwa pamoja nanyi niliwaambia mambo haya? 62:6 2The 2:7Nanyi sasa mnajua kinachomzuia, ili apate kudhihirishwa wakati wake utakapowadia. 72:7 2The 2:6Maana ile nguvu ya siri ya uasi tayari inatenda kazi, lakini yule anayeizuia ataendelea kufanya hivyo mpaka atakapoondolewa. 82:8 Isa 11:4; Ufu 2:16Hapo ndipo yule mwasi atafunuliwa, ambaye Bwana Yesu atamteketeza kwa pumzi ya kinywa chake na kumwangamiza kabisa kwa utukufu wa kuja kwake. 92:9 Mt 24:24; Ufu 13:13Kuja kwa yule mwasi kutaonekana kana kwamba ni kutenda kazi kwake Shetani ambaye hutumia nguvu zote, ishara, maajabu ya uongo, 102:10 1Kor 1:18na kila aina ya uovu kwa wale wanaoangamia kwa sababu walikataa kuipenda kweli wapate kuokolewa. 112:11 Rum 1:28Kwa sababu hii, Mungu ameruhusu watawaliwe na nguvu ya udanganyifu, ili waendelee kuamini uongo, 122:12 Rum 1:32na wahukumiwe wote ambao hawakuiamini ile kweli, bali wamefurahia uovu.

Simameni Imara

132:13 Efe 1:4; 1The 5:9; 1Pet 1:2Lakini imetupasa sisi kumshukuru Mungu daima kwa ajili yenu, ndugu mpendwao na Bwana, kwa sababu Mungu aliwachagua ninyi tangu mwanzo ili mwokolewe kwa kutakaswa na Roho kwa kuiamini kweli. 142:14 Rum 8:28; 11:29; 1The 1:5Kwa kusudi hili Mungu aliwaita kwa njia ya kuhubiri kwetu Injili, ili mpate kushiriki katika utukufu wa Bwana Yesu Kristo. 152:15 1Kor 16:13; 11:2Hivyo basi, ndugu wapendwa, simameni imara na myashike sana yale mafundisho tuliyowapa ikiwa ni kwa maneno ya kinywa au kwa barua.

162:16 Yn 3:16Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo mwenyewe na Mungu Baba yetu, aliyetupenda na kwa neema yake akatupatia faraja ya milele na tumaini jema, 172:17 1The 3:2; 2The 3:3awafariji mioyo yenu na kuwaimarisha katika kila neno na tendo jema.
