2 VaTesaronika 2

¹Zvino tinokumbira kwamuri, hama dzangu, pamusoro pokuvuya kwaShe wedu Jesu Kristu, nokuvungana kwedu kwaari;Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

²kuti murege kukurumidza kuzununguswa pakufunga kwenyu,kana kuvhunduswa kana nemweya kana neshoko, kana nemwadhi, inonzi inobva kwatiri, muchiti zuva raKristu ratosvika;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.

³ngakurege kuva nomunhu unokunyengerai nomutovo upi noupi; nokuti zuva iro harisviki, kana kusati kwatanga kuvuya, nomunhu wezvivi, mwanakomana wokurashika, asati ambovonekwa,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;

⁴iye, unorwa achizvikudza pamusoro pezvose zvinonzi Mwari, kana zvinonamatwa; nokudaro kuti unogara saMwari mutembere yaMwari, achizviita Mwari.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.

⁵Hamurangariri here kuti ndichiri kwamuri, ndakakuvudzai izvozvi?Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

⁶Zvino munoziva chinodzivisa, kuti aratidzwe nenguva yake.And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

⁷Nokuti chakavanzika chokusarurama chotobate-basa racho; asi zvichaitwa bedzi kusvikira iye unodzivisa zvino achibviswa.For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

⁸Ipapo iye usakarurama uchavonekwa, iye uchavurawa naShe Jesu nomweya womuromo wake, achiparadza nokuvonekwa kwokuvuya kwake;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:

⁹kuvuya kwake iye kwakaita sebasa raSatani nesimba rose, nezviratidzo, nezvinoshamisa zvenhema,Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰nokunyengera kwose kwokusarurama kuna vanoparara; nokuti havana kugamuchira rudo rwezvokwadi, kuti vaponeswe.And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹Saka Mwari unovatumira simba rokukanganisa, kuti vatende nhema,And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

¹²kuti vose vasina kutenda zvokwadi, asi vakafarira zvisakarurama, vatongwe.That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹³Asi isu tinofanira kuvonga Mwari nguva dzose pamusoro penyu, hama dzangu, vadikanwa vaShe, nokuti Mwari wakakusanangurai kubva pakutanga, kuti muponeswe muvutsvene bwoMweya nokutenda zvokwadi.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:

¹⁴Izvo zvaakakudanirai neEvhangei yedu, kuti muwane kubwinya kwaShe wedu Jesu Kristu.Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, mirai makasimba, muchengete mirairo yamakadzidziswa, kana neshoko kana nemwadhi yedu.Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

¹⁶Zvino, Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu amene, naMwari, baba vedu, vakatida, vakatipa nenyasha dzavo kuvaraidzwa kusingaperi netariro yakanaka,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,

¹⁷ngavavaraidze moyo yenyu, vakusimbisei pamabasa ose namashoko ose akanaka.Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
