2 Kolinitō 7

1 Ko ia, ʻe kāinga ʻofeina, ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa ni, ke tau fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he ʻuli kotoa pē ʻoe kakano mo e laumālie, ʻo fakahaohaoa ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he manavahē ki he ʻOtua.

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every pollution of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Mou maʻu ʻakimautolu; naʻe ʻikai te mau fai taʻetotonu ki ha tokotaha, naʻe ʻikai te mau fakaangahalaʻi ha tokotaha, naʻe ʻikai te mau kākaaʻi ha tokotaha.

Regard us cordially; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have made gain by no one.

3 ‌ʻOku ʻikai te u lea ko ha tautea: he kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala atu, ʻoku mou ʻi homau loto ke mau mate mo moʻui mo kimoutolu.

I do not say this to condemn you; for I have said before, that you are in our hearts, so that we could die with you, and live with you.

4 ‌ʻOku lahi ʻeku faʻa lea atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ou vikiviki lahi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu: kuo fakafonu au ʻi he fiemālie, ʻoku ou fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻi heʻemau mamahi kotoa pē.

Great is my plainness of speech to you, great is my boasting of you; I am filled with comfort, I am exceedingly joyful in all our affliction.

5 Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻemau hoko ki Masitōnia, naʻe ʻikai ha mālōlō ki homau kakano, ka naʻe fakamamahi ʻakimautolu mei he potu kotoa pē; naʻe ʻituʻa ʻae ngaahi tau, pea ʻi loto ʻae manavahē.

For when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest; but we were oppressed on every side: without were battles, within were fears.

6 Ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu kuo lī ki lalo, naʻa ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻi he haʻu ʻa Taitusi;

But God, who comforts those who are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7 Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi heʻene haʻu pe, ka ʻi he fakafiemālie ʻaia naʻe fakafiemālie ai ia ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻene tala kiate kimautolu hoʻomou holi lahi, mo hoʻomou mamahi, mo hoʻomou feinga kiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻeku fiefia.

and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you when he told us of your strong affection, your grief, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

8 He ʻoku ʻikai te u fakatomala ʻi heʻeku fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae tohi, ka naʻaku fakatomala ai: he ʻoku ou vakai ko e tohi ko ia, kuo ne fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu, kae fuoloa siʻi pe.

For although I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that the same letter gave you sorrow, though but for a short time.

9 Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou fiefia, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi homou fakamamahi, ka ʻi homou mamahi ki he fakatomala: he naʻa mou mamahi ʻo tāau mo e ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa mou masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻiate kimautolu.

Now I rejoice not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed in order to repentance. For you sorrowed in a way acceptable to God, that you might in nothing receive injury from us.

10 He ko e mamahi ʻoku taau mo e ʻOtua ʻoku ne langaki ʻae fakatomala ki he fakamoʻui, ʻe ʻikai toe fakatomala ai: ka ko e mamahi fakamaama, ʻoku ne langaki ʻae mate.

For godly sorrow works repentance not to be regretted, which leads to salvation: but the sorrow of the world works death.

11 Vakai eni ki he meʻa ni pe, ʻa hoʻomou mamahi ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua, ki he faʻa fai naʻa ne fakatupu ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻio, ʻae fakaʻataʻatā ʻo kimoutolu, ʻae fakaʻiseʻisa, ʻae manavahē, ʻae holi lahi, ʻio, ʻae fai feinga, ʻa ʻetau tautea! Kuo mou fakahā ʻaki ia kotoa pē ʻa hoʻomou ʻataʻatā ʻi he meʻa ni.

For behold this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner; what earnestness it produced in you; what defense of yourselves; what indignation; what fear; what strong affection; what zeal; what assertion of right. In all respects you have shown yourselves to be blameless in this matter.

12 Ko ia ne u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ka naʻe ʻikai koeʻuhi ko ia pe naʻe fai ʻae kovi, pe ko ia pe naʻa ne mamahi ʻi he kovi, ka koeʻuhi ke hā ai kiate kimoutolu ʻemau tokanga kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.

Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not on account of him who did the wrong, nor on account of him who received the wrong; but that our diligent care for you, in the sight of God, might be made manifest to you.

13 Ko ia naʻa mau fiemālie ʻi hoʻomou fiemālie: pea naʻe lahi hake ʻaupito ʻemau fiefia koeʻuhi ko e fiefia ʻa Taitusi, he naʻe fakafiemālieʻi hono laumālie ʻekimoutolu kotoa pē.

For this reason, we have been comforted by means of your comfort: and we rejoiced exceedingly more indeed, on account of the joy of Titus, for his spirit was refreshed by you all.

14 He kapau naʻaku polepole ʻi ha meʻa kiate ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai te u mā ai; kae hangē ko ʻemau lea kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē pe mo ʻemau polepole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Taitusi, ʻoku ʻilo ia ko e moʻoni.

For if I boasted of you to him, in any respect, I am not made ashamed; but as I have spoken all things to you in truth, so also has our boasting to Titus been found to be truth:

15 Pea ko ʻene manavaʻofa ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito kiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻene manatu ki he talangofua ʻamoutolu kotoa pē, pea mo hoʻomou maʻu ia ʻi he manavahē mo e tetetete.

and his affection for you is the more abundant, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

16 Pea ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi heʻeku falala kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.

I rejoice that I have confidence in you in all things.
