2 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

Na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, mo te ora i whakaaria mai i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,

2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti aroha: Kia tau te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.

3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day

E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, e mahi atu nei ahau ki a ia, he mea no oku tupuna iho i runga i te hinengaro ma, no te mea kahore e mutu toku mahara ki a koe i aku inoinga i te po, i te ao;

4 longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

Nui atu toku hiahia kia kite i a koe, i ahau e mahara ana ki ou roimata, kia ki ai ahau i te hari;

5 having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.

Ka hoki ake nei toku mahara ki te whakapono tinihangakore i roto i a koe; i noho tuatahi ra i roto i tou tupuna wahine, i a Roihi, i tou whaea hoki, i a Unihi; a e tino mohio ana ahau kei roto ano i a koe.

6 For the which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.

Koia ahau ka whakamahara nei i a koe, kia whakaungia ano te ahi, te mea i hoatu na e te Atua, tena kei roto i a koe, he mea na te whakapanga atu o oku ringaringa.

7 For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

Kahore hoki i homai e te Atua ki a tatou te wairua o te wehi; engari to te kaha, to te aroha, to te ngakau mahara.

8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;

Na, kei whakama koe ki te whakaatu i to tatou Ariki, ki ahau ranei, kia tona herehere: engari uru atu koe ki nga mate o te rongopai, kia rite ki ta te Atua whakakahanga;

9 who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)

Nana nei tatou i whakaora, nana hoki tatou i karanga ki te karangatanga tapu; kihai i rite ki a tatou mahi, engari ki tana ake tikanga i whakatakoto ai i mua, ki te aroha noa hoki i homai nei ki a tatou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, i mua atu o te tima tanga o te ao; (aiōnios g166)

10 but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,

A kua whakakitea mai nei inaianei i te putanga nui mai o to tatou Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu karaiti, i whakakahore nei i te mate, a whakakitea mai ana e ia te ora me te matengakore, he mea na te rongopai:

11 whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.

Meinga iho nei ahau hei kaikauwhau mo tenei, hei apotoro, hei kaiwhakaako.

12 For the which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Ko te mea hoki tenei i pangia ai ahau e enei mate: he ahakoa ra kahore ahau e whakama: e matau ana hoki ahau ki taku i whakapono ai, e u ana toku whakaaro e taea e ia te tiaki taku i tuku atu ai ki a ia, a taea noatia taua ra.

13 Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Kia mau ki te tauira mo nga kupu tika i rongo ra koe ki ahau, puritia i runga i te whakapono, i te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

14 That good thing which was committed unto [thee] guard through the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

Ko te mea pai i tukua ra ki a koe, me tiaki e koe, ara e te Wairua Tapu e noho ana i roto i a tatou.

15 This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

E matau ana ko tenei, i tahuri ke i ahau te hunga katoa i Ahia; no ratou a Paikeru raua ko Heremokeni.

16 The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;

Kia tohungia e te Ariki nga tangata o te whare o Onehipora; he maha hoki oku oranga ngakau i a ia, kihai hoki ia i whakama ki toku mekameka.

17 but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me

A, i a ia i Roma, i rapu marietia ahau e ia, a kitea ana.

18 (the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Ma te Ariki e tuku ki a ia kia kite i te mahi tohu a te Ariki a taua ra: ko ana mahinga mea hoki maku i Epeha. erangi koe e mohio ana.
