Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

2:1
Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, ὑπὲρ τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἡμῶν ἐπισυναγωγῆς ἐπ’ αὐτόν,
Rogamus autem vos, fratres, per adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et nostrae congregationis in ipsum :
ንነግረክሙ አኀዊነ በእንተ ምጽአተ እግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።
Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you
2:2
εἰς τὸ μὴ ταχέως σαλευθῆναι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ νοὸς μηδὲ θροεῖσθαι μήτε διὰ πνεύματος μήτε διὰ λόγου μήτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ὡς δι’ ἡμῶν, ὡς ὅτι ἐνέστηκεν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου.
ut non cito moveamini a vestro sensu, neque terreamini, neque per spiritum, neque per sermonem, neque per epistolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Domini.
ወአንትሙሂ ውስተ ማኅበሩ ዑቁ ኢያደንግፁክሙ ፍጡነ ወኢትትሀወኩ እምአእምሮ ኢበመንፈስ ወኢበነገር ወኢበመጽሐፍ ከመ ዘእምኀቤነ ለእመ ትመጽእ ዕለተ እግዚእነ።
not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.
2:3
μή τις ὑμᾶς ἐξαπατήσῃ κατὰ μηδένα τρόπον· ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ ἔλθῃ ἡ ἀποστασία πρῶτον καὶ ἀποκαλυφθῇ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς ἀνομίας, ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας,
Ne quis vos seducat ullo modo : quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum, et revelatus fuerit homo peccati filius perditionis,
አልቦ ዘያስሕተክሙ ወኢበምንትኒ እስመ ኢትመጽእ ይእቲ ዕለት ለእመ ኢቀደመ መጺአ ዘየሀውክ ወይትከሠት ብእሴ ዐመፃ ወልደ ሕርትምና።
Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.
2:4
ὁ ἀντικείμενος καὶ ὑπεραιρόμενος ἐπὶ πάντα λεγόμενον θεὸν ἢ σέβασμα, ὥστε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καθίσαι, ἀποδεικνύντα ἑαυτὸν ὅτι ἔστιν θεός.
qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.
ዐላዊ ወሐሳዊ ዘያዐቢ ርእሶ ወይብል ለኵሉ አነ ውእቱ እግዚአብሔር አምላክ ወይነብር በቤተ እግዚአብሔር ወይሬሲ ርእሶ ከመ እግዚአብሔር።
He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
2:5
Οὐ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ἔτι ὢν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ταῦτα ἔλεγον ὑμῖν;
Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, haec dicebam vobis ?
ኢትዜከሩኑ ከመ አመ ሀሎኩ ኀቤክሙ አቅደምኩ ወነገርኩክሙ ዘንተ።
Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?
2:6
καὶ νῦν τὸ κατέχον οἴδατε, εἰς τὸ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ αὐτοῦ καιρῷ.
et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.
ወይእዜኒ ተአምሩ ዘይከልኦ አስተርእዮ እስከ ይበጽሕ ዕድሜሁ።
Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
2:7
τὸ γὰρ μυστήριον ἤδη ἐνεργεῖται τῆς ἀνομίας· μόνον ὁ κατέχων ἄρτι ἕως ἐκ μέσου γένηται.
Nam mysterium jam operatur iniquitatis : tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.
እስመ እከየ ምክረ ኀጢአት ወድአ ይትገበር በላዕሌሁ ወዳእሙ ይእዜሰ እኁዝ እስከ ይትኀደግ እማእከል።
For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
2:8
καὶ τότε ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ὁ ἄνομος, ὃν ὁ κύριος Ἰησοῦς ἀνελεῖ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ καταργήσει τῇ ἐπιφανείᾳ τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ,
Et tunc revelabitur ille iniquus, quem Dominus Jesus interficiet spiritu oris sui, et destruet illustratione adventus sui eum :
ወይእተ አሚረ ይትከሠት ወልደ ዐመፃ ኃጥእ ዘሀለዎ ያጥፍኦ መንፈሱ ለእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ወይስዕሮ በአስተርእዮተ ምጽአቱ።
Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;
2:9
οὗ ἐστιν ἡ παρουσία κατ’ ἐνέργειαν τοῦ σατανᾶ ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει καὶ σημείοις καὶ τέρασιν ψεύδους
cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanae in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,
ወምጽአቱሰ ለዝንቱ በኀይለ ሰይጣን በኵሉ ኀይል ወትእምርት ወመንክር ዘሐሰት።
even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2:10
καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ἀπάτῃ ἀδικίας τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις, ἀνθ’ ὧν τὴν ἀγάπην τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκ ἐδέξαντο εἰς τὸ σωθῆναι αὐτούς.
et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis qui pereunt : eo quod caritatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.
ወበኵሉ አስሕቶ ዘኀጢአት ለሕርቱማን እስመ ኢተወክፉ ፍቅረ ቃለ ጽድቅ በዘየሐይዉ።
and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11
καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πέμπει αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς ἐνέργειαν πλάνης εἰς τὸ πιστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς τῷ ψεύδει,
Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,
ወበእንተዝ ይፌኑ ሎሙ እግዚአብሔር ኀይለ መስሕተ ከመ ይእመኑ በሐሰት።
Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,
2:12
ἵνα κριθῶσιν ἅπαντες οἱ μὴ πιστεύσαντες τῇ ἀληθείᾳ ἀλλὰ εὐδοκήσαντες τῇ ἀδικίᾳ.
ut judicentur omnes qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
ከመ ይትኰነኑ ኵሎሙ እለ ኢየአምኑ በጽድቅ ወየኀብሩ በዐመፃ።
that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2:13
Ἡμεῖς δὲ ὀφείλομεν εὐχαριστεῖν τῷ θεῷ πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοὶ ἠγαπημένοι ὑπὸ κυρίου, ὅτι εἵλατο ὑμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς εἰς σωτηρίαν ἐν ἁγιασμῷ πνεύματος καὶ πίστει ἀληθείας,
Nos autem debemus gratias agere Deo semper pro vobis, fratres dilecti a Deo, quod elegerit vos Deus primitias in salutem in sanctificatione spiritus, et in fide veritatis :
ወንሕነሰ አኀዊነ ርቱዕ ናእኵቶ ለእግዚአብሔር ዘልፈ በእንቲኣክሙ እለ አፍቀረክሙ እግዚአብሔር እስመ ኀረየክሙ ወተሣሀለክሙ እግዚአብሔር ርእሰ ሕይወት በተቀድሶ መንፈስ ወበሃይማኖተ ጽድቅ።
But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,
2:14
εἰς ὃ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὑμᾶς διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ἡμῶν, εἰς περιποίησιν δόξης τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriae Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
ዘበእንቲኣሁ ጸውዐክሙ በትምህርተ ወንጌል ከመ ትሕየዉ በስብሐቲሁ ለእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።
to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2:15
ἄρα οὖν, ἀδελφοί, στήκετε, καὶ κρατεῖτε τὰς παραδόσεις ἃς ἐδιδάχθητε εἴτε διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν.
Itaque fratres, state : et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.
ወይእዜኒ አኀዊነ ቁሙ ወዕቀቡ ትእዛዘ ዘመሀሩክሙ ወሠርዑክሙ ዘበቃልነ ወዘበመጽሐፍነ።
So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.
2:16
αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς καὶ ὁ θεὸς ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν, ὁ ἀγαπήσας ἡμᾶς καὶ δοὺς παράκλησιν αἰωνίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα ἀγαθὴν ἐν χάριτι,
Ipse autem Dominus noster Jesus Christus, et Deus et Pater noster, qui dilexit nos, et dedit consolationem aeternam, et spem bonam in gratia,
ወውእቱ እግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ወእግዚአብሔር አቡነ ዘአፍቀረነ ወወሀበነ ፍሥሓ ዘለዓለም ወተስፋ ሠናየ።
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
2:17
παρακαλέσαι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας καὶ στηρίξαι ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ ἀγαθῷ.
exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere et sermone bono.
ጸጋሁ ውእቱ ያስተፍሥሕክሙ ልበክሙ ወያጽንዕክሙ በኵሉ ምግባር ወበኵሉ ቃል ሠናይ።
comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
