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.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the 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.

to Timothy, beloved child: 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 thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers, with a clean conscience, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

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

As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

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 have been reminded of your genuine faith, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that it lives in you also.

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.

This is the reason I am reminding you to rekindle the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

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.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and discipline.

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 do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me, Paul, his prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God.

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)

It is God who saved us and called us with a holy calling. He did this, not according to our works, but according to his own plan and grace. He gave us these things in Christ Jesus before times ever began. (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:

But now God's salvation has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. It is Christ who put an end to death and brought life that never ends to light through the gospel.

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

Because of this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.

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.

For this cause I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed. I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have entrusted to him until that day.

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.

Keep the example of faithful messages that you heard from me, with the faith and love that are 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.

The good thing that God committed to you, guard it 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 know this, that all who live in Asia turned away from me. In this group are 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 grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.

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

Instead, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, 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 to him to find mercy from him on that day. All the ways he helped me in Ephesus, you know very well.
