2 Timote 1

1 Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo fakatatau ki he talaʻofa ʻoe moʻui ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.

This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus chosen by God, sent to tell about the promise of real life that is in Christ Jesus.

2 Ke ʻia Timote, ko e foha ʻofeina, ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai mo Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki.

I'm sending it to you Timothy, my dear son. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 ‌ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou tauhi, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi tamai ʻi muʻa, ʻi he ʻatamai māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ou manatu maʻuaipē kiate koe ʻi heʻeku ngaahi lotu ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho;

I'm always thinking of you and I'm so thankful to God, whom I serve as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience. I never forget to mention you in my prayers.

4 ‌ʻO holi lahi ke u mamata kiate koe, ʻi heʻeku manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi loʻimata, koeʻuhi ke u fonu ʻi he fiefia;

I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.

5 ‌ʻI heʻeku fakamanatu ki he tui taʻeloi ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻaia naʻe muʻaki nofoʻia hoʻo kui fefine ko Loisi, mo hoʻo faʻē ko ʻIunisi; pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate koe foki.

I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.

6 Ko ia ʻoku ou fakamanatu ai kiate koe ke ke tafutafu ʻae meʻa foaki ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻi he hilifaki ʻa hoku nima.

That's why I want to remind you to revitalize God's gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.

7 He naʻe ʻikai foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe manavasiʻi; ka ko e mālohi, mo e ʻofa, mo e loto fakapotopoto.

God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.

8 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa ke mā koe ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa hotau ʻEiki, pe kiate au ko ʻene pōpula: ka ke kau koe ʻi he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻo taau mo e mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua;

So don't be ashamed to tell others about our Lord, or be ashamed of me. Instead be ready to share in suffering for the good news as God gives you strength.

9 ‌ʻAia kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻo ne ui ʻakitautolu ʻi he uiuiʻi māʻoniʻoni, ʻo ʻikai fakatatau mo e tau ngaahi ngaue, ka ʻoku fakatatau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate kitautolu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani, (aiōnios g166)

He is the one who has saved us and called us to live a holy life—not through what we do, but by God's own plan and through his grace. (aiōnios g166)

10 Ka kuo hā eni ʻi he fakahā ʻahotau Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne ikuna ʻae mate, pea kuo ne fakahā ʻi he maama ʻae moʻui mo e taʻemate ʻi he ongoongolelei:

He gave this grace to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, and is now revealed in the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He destroyed death, making life and immortality brilliantly clear through the good news.

11 ‌ʻAia naʻe fakanofo au ke u malangaʻaki ia, ko e ʻaposetolo, mo e akonaki ʻoe kakai Senitaile.

I was appointed speaker, apostle, and teacher of this good news.

12 Ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ou kātaki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni: ka ʻoku ʻikai te u mā: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻaia kuo u tui ki ai, pea ʻoku pau hoku loto ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe ia ke tauhi ʻaia kuo u tuku kiate ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ko ia.

That's also the reason I'm suffering all this, but I'm not ashamed, because I know whom I've trusted. I'm confident that he can look after what I've entrusted to him until the Day he returns.

13 Puke ke maʻu ʻae sino ʻoe ngaahi lea haohaoa, ʻaia naʻa ke fanongo ai ʻiate au, ʻi he tui mo e ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.

You should follow the model of good advice that you learned from me, with an attitude of trust and love in Christ Jesus.

14 Ko e meʻa lelei ko ia naʻe tuku kiate koe ke ke tauhi ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu.

Guard the truth that was entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

15 ‌ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ʻEsia kuo nau siʻaki au; ʻaia kuo kau ai ʻa Faiselo mo Hemosine.

You already know that everyone from Asia has abandoned me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 Ke foaki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo ʻOnesifolo; he naʻe liunga lahi ʻene tokoniʻi au, pea naʻe ʻikai mā ia ʻi hoku haʻi ukamea:

May the Lord be kind to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often took care of me and wasn't embarrassed about me being in prison.

17 Ka ʻi heʻene ʻi Loma, naʻa ne kumi lahi kiate au, ʻo ne ʻiloʻi [au].

When he was in Rome, he took the trouble to search for me, and he found me.

18 ‌ʻOfa ke tuku kiate ia ʻe he ʻEiki ke ne maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mei he ʻEiki ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea ko e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe naʻa ne tokoniʻi ai au ʻi ʻEfesō, ʻoku ke ʻilo pe.

May the Lord grant him his blessing in the Day of Judgment. (Timothy, you're very much aware of how much Onesiphorus did for me when he was in Ephesus.)
