2 Timote 4

1 Ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia te ne fakamaau ʻae moʻui mo e mate ʻi heʻene fakahā mai mo hono puleʻanga;

I solemnly implore you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead, and by His Appearing and His Kingship:

2 Ke ke malangaʻaki ʻae folofola; faʻa fai ʻi he faingamālie, mo e taʻehafaingamālie; valoki, mo fakatonutonu, mo enginaki, ʻi he anga faʻa kātaki kotoa pē mo e akonaki

proclaim God's message, be zealous in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience as a teacher.

3 Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae kuonga ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kātaki ai ʻae akonaki totonu; ka ʻi he ʻiate kinautolu ʻae telinga veli, te nau fakatokolahi maʻanautolu ʻae kau akonaki ʻo tatau mo ʻenau holi.

For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies;

4 Pea te nau fakatafoki honau telinga mei he moʻoni, pea tuli tāupau ki he meʻa loi.

and will turn away from listening to the truth and will turn aside to fables.

5 Ka ke leʻo pe ʻa koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mamahi, fai ʻae ngaue ʻoe ʻevangeliō, fai ke kakato hoʻo ngaue fakafaifekau.

But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office.

6 He ʻoku ou tali pe ki hoku lilingi, pea ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo hoku tukuange.

I for my part am like a drink-offering which is already being poured out; and the time for my departure is now close at hand.

7 Kuo u tau ʻae tau lelei, kuo u lavaʻi ʻae fakapuepue, kuo u tauhi maʻu ʻae tui:

I have gone through the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have guarded the faith.

8 Ngata ai, kuo hilifaki moʻoku ʻae pale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻe foaki mai kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe he ʻEiki, ko e Fakamaau māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻikai kiate au pe, ka kiate kinautolu kotoa pē foki ʻoku ʻofa ki hono fakahā mai.

From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who love the thought of His Appearing.

9 Ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke haʻu vave kiate au:

Make an effort to come to me speedily.

10 He kuo siʻaki au ʻe Temasi; kuo ʻofa ia ki he māmani, pea kuo ʻalu ia ki Tesalonika; ko Kilisini ki Kalētia, mo Taitusi ki Talemetia. (aiōn g165)

For Demas has deserted me--loving, as he does, the present age--and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Ko Luke pe ʻoku ʻiate au. Haʻu mo Maʻake, pea mo omi fakataha: he ʻoku ʻaonga ia kiate au ʻi he ngaue fakafaifekau.

Luke is the only friend I now have with me. Call for Mark on your way and bring him with you, for he is a great help to me in my ministry.

12 Pea kuo u fekau ʻa Tikiko ki ʻEfesō.

Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

13 ‌ʻOmi ʻae kofu naʻaku tuku mo Kaposi ʻi Taloasi, ʻoka ke ka haʻu, mo e ngaahi tohi, [kae tokanga ]lahi ki he ngaahi tohi kiliʻi manu.

When you come, bring with you the cloak which I left behind at Troas at the house of Carpus, and the books, but especially the parchments.

14 Naʻe fai kovi lahi kiate au ʻe ʻAlekisānita, ko e tufunga ngaohi meʻa kapa: ʻe totongi ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngaahi ngaue:

Alexander the metal-worker showed bitter hostility towards me: the Lord will requite him according to his doings.

15 ‌ʻAia ke ke vakai ki ai foki, he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻene fakatanga ki heʻetau lea.

You also should beware of him; for he has violently opposed our preaching.

16 ‌ʻI heʻeku fuofua fakamatala, naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tuʻu mo au, ka naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē au: ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa lau ia kiate kinautolu.

At my first defence I had no one at my side, but all deserted me. May it not be laid to their charge.

17 Ka naʻe tuʻu mo au ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo ne fakamālohiʻi au; koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻiate au ʻae malanga, pea ke fanongo ki ai ʻae Senitaile kotoa pē: pea naʻe fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione.

The Lord, however, stood by me and filled me with inward strength, that through me the Message might be fully proclaimed and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion's jaws.

18 Pea ʻe fakahaofi au ʻe he ʻEiki mei he ngaue kovi kotoa pē, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻo aʻu ki hono puleʻanga ʻi he langi: ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni. (aiōn g165)

The Lord will deliver me from every cruel attack and will keep me safe in preparation for His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory until the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Tala ʻeku ʻofa kia Pisila mo ʻAkuila, mo e fale ʻo ʻOnesifolo.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

20 Naʻe nofo ʻa Elasito ʻi Kolinitō: ka naʻaku tuku ʻa Talofimo ʻi Mileto ʻoku mahaki.

Erastus stayed in Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me at Miletus, ill.

21 Ke ke ʻahiʻahi ke haʻu ʻi he teʻeki hokosia ʻae faʻahitaʻu momoko. ʻOku ʻofa atu kiate koe ʻa Iupulo, mo Piutena, mo Laino, mo Kalotia, mo e kāinga kotoa pē.

Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 Ke ʻi ho laumālie ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.

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