2 Timoti 4

1 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe i te aroaro o te Atua, o Karaiti Ihu hoki, mana nei e whakawa te hunga ora me te hunga mate, i te ahua o tona putanga mai me tona rangatiratanga,

I command you therefore before God and Messiah Yeshua, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his Kingdom:

2 Kauwhautia te kupu; tohea i nga wa pai, i nga wa kino; riria te he, whakahengia iho, whakahaua, whakapaua te manawanui me te whakaako.

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

3 Tenei ake hoki te wa e kore ai ratou e whakarongo ki te whakaako tika; heoi, i te mea he taringa minamina o ratou, ka apohia e ratou he kaiwhakaako e rite ana ki o ratou na hiahia.

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;

4 Ka tahuri ke o ratou taringa i te pono, ka anga atu ki nga korero tito noa.

and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.

5 Kia mau ia koe i nga mea katoa; tukua atu nga mamae ki a koe; mahia te mahi a te kaikauwhau i te rongopai; whakapaua tau mahi minita.

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

6 Tenei hoki ahau kei te ringihia, kua rite ano te wa hei haerenga moku.

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

7 Kua whawhaitia e ahau te whawhai pai, kua omakia toku omanga, kua rite i ahau te whakapono:

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

8 Kei te takoto mai moku i nga wa o muri nei e karauna o te tika, e homai ki ahau a taua ra e te Ariki, e te kaiwhakawa tika: he teka ki ahau anake, engari ki te hunga katoa ano hoki kua matenui ki tona putanga mai.

From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, 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.

9 Kia puta tou uaua ki te haere wawe mai ki ahau:

Be diligent to come to me soon,

10 Kua whakarerea ahau e Rimaha, he aroha nona ki tenei ao, a haere ana a ki Teharonika; kua riro atu a Kerekena ki Karatia, a Taituha ki Raramatia. (aiōn g165)

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

11 Ko Ruka anake kei ahau. Tena a Maka mauria mai hei hoa mou; he pai hoki ia mo taku mahi minita.

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

12 Kua tonoa e ahau a Tikiku ki Epeha.

But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13 Ka haere mai koe, mauria mai te koroka i mahue atu i ahau ki Toroa, ki a Karapu, me nga pukapuka; tena rawa ia nga kirihipi.

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

14 He maha nga kino i meatia mai e Arehanera, e te kaimahi parahi ki ahau: ma te Ariki e hoatu ki a ia he utu e rite ana ki ana mahi:

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

15 Kia tupato hoki koe ki a ia; he rahi rawa hoki tana totohe ki a matou kupu.

of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.

16 I taku korerotanga tuatahi, i karo ai i ahau, kahore he tangata hei tuara moku, heoi whakarerea ake ahau e te katoa. Kaua tenei e whakairia ki a ratou.

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

17 I tu ia te Ariki ki toku taha, nana hoki ahau i whakakaha; kia whakapaua rawatia ai e ahau te kauwhau, kia rongo katoa ai nga tauiwi: a toia mai ana ahau i roto i te mangai o te raiona.

But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the non-Jewish people might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Tera ahau e toia mai e te Ariki i roto i nga mahi kino katoa, e whakaorangia hoki tae noa ki tona rangatiratanga i te rangi: waiho atu i a ia te kororia ake ake. Amine. (aiōn g165)

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Oha atu ki a Pirihira raua ko Akuira, ki te hunga ano hoki o te whare o Onehipora.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

20 I noho atu a Eratu i Koriniti: ko Toropimu i mahue atu i ahau ki Miretu, he mate.

Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus at Miletus, ill.

21 Kia puta tou uaua ki te haere mai i mua o te hotoke. Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koe a Upuru, a Purena, a Rinuha, a Karauria, me nga teina katoa.

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

22 Kia noho te Ariki ki tou wairua, Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou.

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
