2 Timothy 4

1 I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

Ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia te ne fakamaau ʻae moʻui mo e mate ʻi heʻene fakahā mai mo hono puleʻanga;

2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

Ke ke malangaʻaki ʻae folofola; faʻa fai ʻi he faingamālie, mo e taʻehafaingamālie; valoki, mo fakatonutonu, mo enginaki, ʻi he anga faʻa kātaki kotoa pē mo e akonaki

3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae kuonga ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kātaki ai ʻae akonaki totonu; ka ʻi he ʻiate kinautolu ʻae telinga veli, te nau fakatokolahi maʻanautolu ʻae kau akonaki ʻo tatau mo ʻenau holi.

4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.

Pea te nau fakatafoki honau telinga mei he moʻoni, pea tuli tāupau ki he meʻa loi.

5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

Ka ke leʻo pe ʻa koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mamahi, fai ʻae ngaue ʻoe ʻevangeliō, fai ke kakato hoʻo ngaue fakafaifekau.

6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

He ʻoku ou tali pe ki hoku lilingi, pea ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo hoku tukuange.

7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

Kuo u tau ʻae tau lelei, kuo u lavaʻi ʻae fakapuepue, kuo u tauhi maʻu ʻae tui:

8 From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

Ngata ai, kuo hilifaki moʻoku ʻae pale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻe foaki mai kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe he ʻEiki, ko e Fakamaau māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻikai kiate au pe, ka kiate kinautolu kotoa pē foki ʻoku ʻofa ki hono fakahā mai.

9 Be diligent to come to me soon,

Ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke haʻu vave kiate au:

10 for Demas left me, having loved this present age (aiōn g165), and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia.

He kuo siʻaki au ʻe Temasi; kuo ʻofa ia ki he māmani, pea kuo ʻalu ia ki Tesalonika; ko Kilisini ki Kalētia, mo Taitusi ki Talemetia. (aiōn g165)

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

Ko Luke pe ʻoku ʻiate au. Haʻu mo Maʻake, pea mo omi fakataha: he ʻoku ʻaonga ia kiate au ʻi he ngaue fakafaifekau.

12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

Pea kuo u fekau ʻa Tikiko ki ʻEfesō.

13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.

‌ʻOmi ʻae kofu naʻaku tuku mo Kaposi ʻi Taloasi, ʻoka ke ka haʻu, mo e ngaahi tohi, [kae tokanga ]lahi ki he ngaahi tohi kiliʻi manu.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

Naʻe fai kovi lahi kiate au ʻe ʻAlekisānita, ko e tufunga ngaohi meʻa kapa: ʻe totongi ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngaahi ngaue:

15 Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.

‌ʻAia ke ke vakai ki ai foki, he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻene fakatanga ki heʻetau lea.

16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

‌ʻI heʻeku fuofua fakamatala, naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tuʻu mo au, ka naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē au: ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa lau ia kiate kinautolu.

17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Ka naʻe tuʻu mo au ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo ne fakamālohiʻi au; koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻiate au ʻae malanga, pea ke fanongo ki ai ʻae Senitaile kotoa pē: pea naʻe fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione.

18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.

Pea ʻe fakahaofi au ʻe he ʻEiki mei he ngaue kovi kotoa pē, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻo aʻu ki hono puleʻanga ʻi he langi: ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni. (aiōn g165)

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

Tala ʻeku ʻofa kia Pisila mo ʻAkuila, mo e fale ʻo ʻOnesifolo.

20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.

Naʻe nofo ʻa Elasito ʻi Kolinitō: ka naʻaku tuku ʻa Talofimo ʻi Mileto ʻoku mahaki.

21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

Ke ke ʻahiʻahi ke haʻu ʻi he teʻeki hokosia ʻae faʻahitaʻu momoko. ʻOku ʻofa atu kiate koe ʻa Iupulo, mo Piutena, mo Laino, mo Kalotia, mo e kāinga kotoa pē.

22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

Ke ʻi ho laumālie ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
