2 Corinthians 2
1 Bvt I determined thus in my selfe, that I would not come againe to you in heauinesse.
Otira kua takoto tenei i roto i ahau, kia kaua toku hokinga atu ki a koutou e waiho i runga i te pouri.
2 For if I make you sorie, who is he then that shoulde make me glad, but ye same which is made sorie by me?
Na, ki te whakapouri hoki ahau i a koutou, ko wai hoki hei whakaora i toku ngakau? ko ia anake e whakapouritia nei e ahau.
3 And I wrote this same thing vnto you, lest when I came, I should take heauines of them, of whom I ought to reioyce: this confidence haue I in you all, that my ioye is the ioye of you all.
A i tuhituhi atu ahau i taua mea nei ano ki a koutou, kei tae atu ahau, ka whakapouritia ahau e te hunga i tika nei ma ratou ahau e whakahari; i te u o toku whakaaro ki a koutou katoa, ko toku hari te hari o koutou katoa.
4 For in great affliction, and anguish of heart I wrote vnto you with many teares: not that yee should be made sorie, but that ye might perceiue the loue which I haue, specially vnto you.
He nui hoki no te pouri, no te mamae o te ngakau, i tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koutou me nga roimata maha: ehara i te mea hei whakapouri i a koutou, engari kia matau ai koutou ki toku aroha e hira rawa nei ki a koutou.
5 And if any hath caused sorowe, the same hath not made mee sorie, but partly (lest I should more charge him) you all.
Mehemea na tetahi i whakapouri, ehara i te mea e whakapouri ana ia i ahau, engari i a koutou katoa; i tetahi wahi ia, e kore nei ahau e mea rawa he nui.
6 It is sufficient vnto the same man, that hee was rebuked of many.
E rahi ana mo taua tu tangata ko tenei whiu i whakapangia nei e te tokomaha.
7 So that nowe contrariwise yee ought rather to forgiue him, and comfort him, lest the same shoulde bee swalowed vp with ouermuch heauinesse.
Engari rawa ia me whakarere noa iho tana e koutou, ka whakamarie i a ia, kei tupono ka horomia ia e tona pouri nui rawa.
8 Wherefore, I pray you, that you woulde confirme your loue towards him.
Koia ahau ka inoi ki a koutou, kia whakaukia to koutou aroha ki a ia.
9 For this cause also did I write, that I might knowe the proofe of you, whether yee would be obedient in all things.
Na konei ano hoki ahau i tuhituhi atu ai, hei whakamatau i a koutou, mehemea e ngohengohe ana koutou i nga mea katoa.
10 To whome yee forgiue any thing, I forgiue also: for verely if I forgaue any thing, to whome I forgaue it, for your sakes forgaue I it in the sight of Christ,
Ko te tangata e whakarerea ai e koutou tana, ka whakarerea ano e ahau: ko taku hoki i whakarere noa ai, mehemea i pera ahau, he whakaaro ki a koutou, i whakarerea noatia e ahau i te aroaro o te Karaiti;
11 Lest Satan should circumuent vs: for we are not ignorant of his enterprises.
Kei ra rungatia mai tatou e Hatana: ehara hoki tatou i te kuware ki ana rauhanga.
12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christs Gospell, and a doore was opened vnto me of the Lord,
Na, i toku taenga ki Toroa ki te kauwhau i te rongopai o te Karaiti, a ka puare mai ki ahau tetahi kuwaha, he mea na te Ariki,
13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I founde not Titus my brother, but tooke my leaue of them, and went away into Macedonia.
Kahore he tanga mo toku wairua, he kore i kite i toku teina, i a Taituha: heoi ka poroporoaki ahau ki a ratou, ka haere ki Makeronia.
14 Now thankes be vnto God, which alwaies maketh vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place.
Na, me whakawhetai ki te Atua, e mea tonu nei i a matou kia whakamanamana i roto i a te Karaiti, e whakaatu nei ma roto i a matou i te ha o tona matauranga i nga wahi katoa.
15 For wee are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them which perish.
He kakara pai hoki matou no te Karaiti ki te Atua, i runga i te hunga e whakaorangia ana, i runga ano i te hunga e whakangaromia ana:
16 To the one we are the sauour of death, vnto death, and to the other the sauour of life, vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things?
Ki tetahi he kakara no te mate ki te mate; ki tetahi he kakara no te ora ki te ora. A ko wai e tau mo enei mea?
17 For wee are not as many, which make marchandise of the woorde of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God in ye sight of God speake we in Christ.
Kahore hoki matou e pera i te tokomaha e whakatutua nei i te kupu a te Atua: engari he pera i ta te pono, he pera i ta te Atua, e korero ana matou i te aroaro o te Atua i roto i a te Karaiti.
