2 Koriniti 1
1 Na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Timoti, ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ratou ko te hunga tapu katoa i Akaia puta noa:
Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the congregation of God which is at Corinth, with all the kadoshim who are in the whole of Achaia:
2 Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
3 Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, te Matua o nga mahi tohu, te Atua o te whakamarie katoa;
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
4 Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakamarie i a matou i o matou paweratanga katoa, e taea ai e matou te whakamarie te hunga e pehia ana e te aha, e te aha, ma te whakamarie e whakamarie nei te Atua i a matou.
who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 I te mea kei te hira tonu nga mamae o te Karaiti i roto i a matou, kei te pera ano te hira o to matou whakamarietanga i roto i a te Karaiti.
For as the sufferings of Messiah abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Messiah.
6 Na, ahakoa tukinotia matou, he mea tena kia whakamarietia ai, kia whakaorangia ai koutou; ahakoa ranei whakamarietia matou, he mea tena kia whakamarietia ai koutou, koia tena e mahi na, i a koutou ka whakaririka kau na ki aua mamae e mamae nei ho ki matou:
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 E u ana hoki to matou whakaaro ki a koutou, i te mohio iho, ka uru na koutou ki nga mamae, ka uru ano hoki koutou ki te whakamarietanga.
Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.
8 Kahore hoki matou e pai kia ngaro i a koutou, e oku teina, te paweratanga i tupono ki a matou i Ahia, te tino taimaha o te pehanga i a matou, nuku noa atu i to matou kaha, na poroporoaki ana matou ki te ora:
For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
9 Ae, i roto ano i a matou te kupu mo te mate, kia kaua o matou whakaaro e u ki a matou ano, engari ki te Atua, ki te kaiwhakaara i te hunga mate:
Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
10 Nana matou i whakaora i taua mate nui, a e whakaora ano ia: e u ana o matou whakaaro ki a ia, tera ia e whakaora tonu i a matou;
who delivered us out of so great a death, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will also deliver us again;
11 Me koutou hoki ka awhina tahi na ki ta koutou inoi mo matou; kia whakawhetai te tokomaha mo matou, mo te aroha noa na te tokomaha i homai ki a matou.
you also helping together on our behalf by your petition; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
12 Ko ta matou whakamanamana hoki ko tenei, ko te whakaaetanga ake o to matou hinengaro, kei runga i te tapu, i te tapatahi o te Atua, ehara i te mea kei runga i to te kikokiko mohio, engari i to te Atua aroha noa, ta matou whakahaere i te ao, ki a koutou rawa ano ia.
For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Ehara hoki ta matou e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koutou i te mea ke i ta koutou e korero na i te pukapuka, e whakaae na; a e u ana toku whakaaro, e whakaae koutou taea noatia te mutunga;
For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will fully acknowledge;
14 Me koutou ano i whakaae mai na ko tetahi wahi ki a matou, ko matou ta koutou e whakamanamana ai, pera hoki me koutou, ko koutou ta matou e whakamanamana ai i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu.
as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Yeshua.
15 Na, i toku whakapono ki tenei, i mea ahau kia haere atu i mua ra ki a koutou, kia rua ai painga ki a koutou;
In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;
16 Kia tika atu ma koutou na ki Makeronia, a kia hoki mai i Makeronia ki a koutou, a ma koutou e whakatika atu taku haere ki Huria.
and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
17 Na, i ahau ka whakaaro i tenei, i hanga noa iho ranei toku ngakau? he whakaaro ranei no te kikokiko oku whakaaro e mea ai ahau, Ae, ae, kahore, kahore?
When I therefore was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"
18 Otira i te mea he pono te Atua, ehara ta matou kupu ki a koutou i te ae, i te kahore.
But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not "Yes and no."
19 Ko te Tama hoki a te Atua, ko Ihu Karaiti, i kauwhautia ra e matou i roto i a koutou, ara e ahau, e Hirawanu, e Timoti, ehara i te ae, i te kahore ranei, engari he ae i roto i a ia.
For the Son of God, Yeshua the Messiah, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."
20 Pewhea ake hoki te maha o nga kupu homai a te Atua, kei roto tonu i a ia te ae; a ma roto mai hoki i a ia te Amine, hei kororia mo te Atua i roto i a tatou.
For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him they are "Amen," to the glory of God through us.
21 Na, ko te kaiwhakau i a matou me koutou i roto i a te Karaiti, ko te kaiwhakawahi i a tatou, ko te Atua;
Now he who establishes us with you in Messiah, and anointed us, is God;
22 Nana tatou i hiri, nana hoki i homai te wahi tuatahi, ara te Wairua ki roto ki o tatou ngakau.
who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Ruach in our hearts.
23 Na, ka karanga ahau ki te Atua hei kaititiro mo toku wairua, he tohu naku i a koutou te haere wawe atu ai ahau ki Koriniti.
But I call God as a witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
24 Ehara i te mea hei rangatira matou mo to koutou whakapono, engari hei hoa mahi matou i te hari mo koutou: na te whakapono hoki koutou i tu ai.
Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
