2 Corinthians 13

1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

Ko hono liunga tolu eni ʻo ʻeku ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu. “ʻI he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua pe toko tolu ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kotoa pē.”

2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,

Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala peau sinaki tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē kuo u ʻi ai, ko hono liunga ua; pea ʻi heʻeku mamaʻo ni, ʻoku ou tohi atu kiate kinautolu naʻe fai angahala ʻi muʻa, pea mo hono toe kotoa pē, kapau te u toe ʻalu atu, ʻe ʻikai te u fakasiʻisiʻi:

3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.

Koeʻuhi ʻoku mou kumi ʻae fakamoʻoni ki he lea ʻa Kalaisi ʻiate au, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai vaivai kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku mālohi ʻiate kimoutolu.

4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

He neongo naʻe tutuki ia ki he ʻakau ko e meʻa ʻi he vaivai, ka ʻoku moʻui ia ʻi he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua. He ʻoku mau vaivai foki mo ia, ka temau moʻui mo ia ʻi he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.

5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

‌ʻEke kiate kimoutolu, pe ʻoku mou ʻi he tui; ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu. ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo kapau kuo ʻikai ʻahiʻahiʻi mo siʻaki ʻakimoutolu?

6 But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

Ka ʻoku ʻamusiaange ʻe au te mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau siʻaki ʻakimautolu.

7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

Ko eni, ʻoku mau kole ki he ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha kovi; ʻo ʻikai pe ke fakaongolelei ai ʻakimautolu, ka koeʻuhi ke fai ʻekimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku angatonu, neongo ʻoku mau hangē ha kau kākā.

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

He ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ha meʻa ke angatuʻu ki he moʻoni, ka ke kau taha mo e moʻoni.

9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

He ʻoku mau fiefia, ʻoka mau ka vaivai, kae mālohi ʻakimoutolu: pea ko e meʻa foki ʻoku mau fakaʻamu ki ai, ko hoʻomou fakahaohaoa.

10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

Ko ia ʻoku ou tohi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi heʻeku mamaʻo, telia naʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻi ai te u fai fakamamahi, ʻo fakatatau mo e mālohi kuo foaki ʻe he ʻEiki kiate au ke langa ʻaki hake, ka ʻikai ki he fakaʻauha.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Ko hono ngata, ʻe kāinga, siʻotoʻofa atu. Ke mou haohaoa, ke mou fiemālie, mou loto taha pe, mou moʻui melino; pea ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ʻofa mo e melino ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Ke mou fetoutou fekitaʻaki ʻae fekita māʻoniʻoni.

13 All the saints greet you.

‌ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo e ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, mo e feohi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē. ʻEmeni.
