2 Tessalonicesi 2
La Bibbia della Gioia
Il ritorno di Cristo
2 Ed ora, fratelli, per quanto riguarda il ritorno del nostro Signore Gesù Cristo e del nostro incontro con lui, vi raccomando una cosa: 2 non lasciatevi confondere le idee dalle dicerie, secondo le quali il giorno del ritorno del Signore sarebbe imminente. Se qualcuno vi racconta di aver avuto delle visioni o dei messaggi speciali da Dio in proposito, oppure delle lettere che fanno passare per nostre, non ci credete. 3 Non lasciatevi ingannare da ciò che dicono, perché il giorno del ritorno del Signore non arriverà prima che siano accadute due cose: dapprima il periodo di grande ribellione contro Dio, poi lʼapparizione sulla scena mondiale dellʼuomo della ribellione e della perdizione, il figlio dellʼinferno. 4 Egli è lʼavversario che si mette al di sopra di tutto ciò che è chiamato «Dio» o è oggetto di adorazione, fino al punto di sedersi nel tempio di Dio e pretendere di essere Dio. 5 Non vi ricordate che, quando ero ancora con voi, vi dicevo già queste cose? 6 E ora voi sapete perché quellʼessere infernale ancora non riesce a fare la sua apparizione: cʼè qualcosa che lo trattiene fino a quando non sarà venuto il suo momento. 7 La forza misteriosa del male e dellʼinferno è già allʼopera, ma perché si manifesti in pieno bisogna che sia tolto di mezzo chi la trattiene adesso. 8 Allora apparirà lʼempio che il Signore Gesù distruggerà col soffio della sua bocca e annienterà con lo splendore del suo arrivo. 9-10 Questo uomo di peccato verrà come strumento di Satana; pieno di diabolica potenza, ingannerà completamente quelli che sono già sulla via dellʼinferno, perché non hanno accettato e amato quella verità che li avrebbe salvati. 11 Perciò Dio lascerà che credano alle menzogne con tutto il loro cuore. 12 Così saranno condannati tutti quelli che non hanno creduto alla verità, ma hanno goduto dei propri peccati.
13 Noi, però, sentiamo il dovere di ringraziare continuamente Dio per voi, fratelli amati dal Signore, perché Egli, fin da principio, vi ha scelto per darvi la salvezza, purificandovi con lʼopera dello Spirito Santo e con la vostra fede nella verità. 14 Per bocca nostra il Signore vi ha parlato del Vangelo. Per mezzo nostro vi ha chiamati a partecipare alla gloria del nostro Signore Gesù Cristo. 15 Restate dunque forti, fratelli, fedeli agli insegnamenti che vi abbiamo dato, sia a voce che per lettera. 16 Questo vi auguro: che il Signore nostro, Gesù Cristo, e Dio nostro Padre, che ci ha amato e ci ha donato unʼeterna consolazione e una valida speranza, 17 consolino i vostri cuori e vi aiutino in ogni buona cosa che dite o fate!

قَبْلَ المَجِيءِ الثَّانِي للرَّب
2 أمَّا بِالنِّسبَةِ لِعَودَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ وَالتِقَائِنَا مَعًا بِهِ، فَنَرجُو مِنْكُمْ أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ 2 أنْ لَا تَفْقِدُوا فَجْأةً إدرَاكَكُمُ السَّلِيمَ حَوْلَ هَذَا الأمْرِ، أوْ تَنْزَعِجُوا بِسَبَبِ نُبُوَّةٍ أوْ تَعْلِيمٍ أوْ رِسَالَةٍ تُنسَبُ إلَينَا، وَتَدَّعِي أنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ جَاءَ بِالفِعْلِ. 3 احتَرِسُوا مِنْ أنْ يَخْدَعَكُمْ أحَدٌ بِأيَّةِ طَرِيقَةٍ كَانَتْ. أقُولُ هَذَا لِأنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ لَنْ يَأْتِيَ قَبْلَ أنْ يَأْتِيَ التَّمَرُّدُ الكَبِيرُ أوَّلًا، وَيَظْهَرَ «رَجُلُ المَعصِيَةِ،» 4 الَّذِي سَيُقَاوِمُ كُلَّ مَا يُشَارُ إلَيْهِ عَلَى أنَّهُ «إلَهٌ» أوْ «مَعبُودٌ،» وَيَجْعَلُ نَفْسَهُ فَوقَهَا كُلِّهَا. بَلْ إنَّهُ سَيَدْخُلُ إلَى هَيْكَلِ اللهِ وَيَجْلِسُ هُنَاكَ مُدَّعِيًا أنَّهُ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ اللهُ!
5 ألَا تَذْكُرُونَ أنِّي كُنْتُ أقُولُ لَكُمْ هَذَا وَأنَا بَعْدُ مَعَكُمْ؟ 6 وَهَكَذَا فَإنَّكُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ مَا الَّذِي يَمْنَعُهُ الآنَ مِنَ الظُّهُورِ، حَيْثُ سَيَظْهَرُ فِي الوَقْتِ المُعَيَّنِ. 7 لِأنَّ القُوَّةَ الخَفِيَّةَ للمَعصِيَةِ تَعْمَلُ بِالفِعْلِ، لَكِنِ الَّذِي يَمْنَعُهُ الآنَ سَيُواصِلُ مَنْعَهُ إلَى أنْ يُرفَعَ هَذَا المَانِعُ. 8 حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَظْهَرُ ذَلِكَ العَاصِي، وَسَيُبِيدُهُ الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ بِنَفخَةٍ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَيُدَمِّرُهُ عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُ فِي ظُهُورِهِ المَجِيدِ.
9 وَسَيَكُونُ مَجِيئُهُ بِقُوَّةِ إبْلِيسَ، مَصحُوبًا بِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَبِبَرَاهِينَ وَعَجَائِبَ كَاذِبَةٍ. 10 سَيَسْتَخْدِمُ كُلَّ أشكَالِ الشَّرِّ المُخَادِعِ، لِيَخْدَعَ السَّائِرِينَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ الهَلَاكِ. وَسَيَهْلِكُونَ لِأنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا أنْ يُحِبُّوا الحَقَّ الَّذِي يُخَلِّصُهُمْ. 11 وَلِهَذَا السَّبَبِ، يُرْسِلُ اللهُ إلَيْهِمْ قُوَّةَ الضَّلَالِ لِتَعْمَلَ فِيهِمْ، لِكَي يُصَدِّقُوا الخِدَاعَ. 12 وَسَيَدِينُ اللهُ كُلَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُصَدِّقُونَ الحَقَّ بَلْ يَتَلَذَّذُونَ بِالإثمِ.
مُختَارُونَ لِلخَلَاص
13 وَأمَّا نَحْنُ فَيَنْبَغِي أنْ نَشكُرَ اللهَ دَائِمًا مِنْ أجْلِكُمْ أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ المَحبُوبُونَ مِنَ الرَّبِّ. يَنْبَغِي أنْ نَشكُرَ اللهَ لِأنَّهُ اخْتَارَكُمْ مِنَ البَدءِ لِكَي تَخْلُصُوا، وَذَلِكَ بِعَمَلِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُكُمْ، وَبِإيمَانِكُمْ أنْتُمْ بِالحَقِّ. 14 دَعَاكُمُ اللهُ إلَى هَذَا الخَلَاصِ بِوَاسِطَةِ البِشَارَةِ الَّتِي بَشَّرنَاكُمْ بِهَا، لِكَي تَحْصُلُوا عَلَى المَجْدِ الَّذِي يَخُصُّ رَبَّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ. 15 فَاثبُتُوا أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ، وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِالتَّقَالِيدِ الَّتِي تَسَلَّمتُمُوهَا مِنَّا، سَوَاءٌ بِالْكَلَامِ أمْ بِرِسَالَتِنَا.
16 فَلَيتَ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحَ نَفْسَهُ، وَاللهَ أبَانَا الَّذِي أظْهَرَ لَنَا مَحَبَّتَهُ، وَأعطَانَا بِنِعْمَتِهِ عَزَاءً أبَدِيًّا وَرَجَاءً رَاسِخًا، 17 أنْ يُعَزِّيَكُمْ وَيُقَوِّيَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيءٍ صَالِحٍ تَعْمَلُونَهُ وَتَقُولُونَهُ.
2 Thessalonians 2
New International Version
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.

The Great Apostasy
2 Now, brethren, (A)concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (B)and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 (C)not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come (D)unless the falling away comes first, and (E)the man of [b]sin is revealed, (F)the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and (G)exalts himself (H)above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For (I)the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, (J)whom the Lord will consume (K)with the breath of His mouth and destroy (L)with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is (M)according to the working of Satan, with all power, (N)signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among (O)those who perish, because they did not receive (P)the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And (Q)for this reason God will send them strong delusion, (R)that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but (S)had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Stand Fast
13 But we are [f]bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God (T)from the beginning (U)chose you for salvation (V)through [g]sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for (W)the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, (X)stand fast and hold (Y)the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our [h]epistle.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, (Z)who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and (AA)good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts (AB)and [i]establish you in every good word and work.
