Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
οὗ ἐστιν ἡ παρουσία, κατ’ ἐνέργειαν τοῦ Σατανᾶ
˱of˲_whom is ¬the coming according_to /the/_working ¬the ˱of˲_Satan
Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe work that Satan does. If this is not clear in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Satan will bring this man and will work through him”
οὗ
˱of˲_whom
Here, whom refers back to the man of lawlessness. Alternate translation: “of the man of lawlessness”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει, καὶ σημείοις, καὶ τέρασιν ψεύδους
in every power and signs and wonders ˱of˲_falsehood
Here, all is hyperbole. It can apply to: (1) only power, with the meaning “much” or “great.” Alternate translation: “with great power to do signs and false wonders” or (2) power, signs, and wonders, with the meaning “many kinds of.” Alternate translation: “with many kinds of power, signs, and false wonders” or (3) a combination of the two. Alternate translation: “with much power to do all kinds of signs and false wonders”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει, καὶ σημείοις, καὶ τέρασιν ψεύδους
in every power and signs and wonders ˱of˲_falsehood
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of power, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “with very powerful signs and false wonders” or “who made him very powerful to do signs and false wonders”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
καὶ σημείοις, καὶ τέρασιν ψεύδους
and signs and wonders ˱of˲_falsehood
The words signs and wonders often occur together and mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize how amazing they are. If your language does not have two words for this or does not use repetition to do this, you can use one word and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “and amazing false miracles”
