2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
Na, ko koe, e taku tamaiti, kia kaha i runga i te aroha noa i roto i a Ihu.
2 And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.
Ko nga mea hoki i rongo ra koe ki ahau i nga kaiwhakaatu tokomaha, tukua ena ki etahi tangata pono, e pai ana hei whakaako ki era atu hoki.
3 Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
Tukua atu nga mamae ki a koe, kia rite ki te hoia pai a Ihu Karaiti.
4 No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.
Ki te whakahoia tetahi tangata, e kore ia e whakararurarutia e nga mea o te ao; kia ahuareka ai ki a ia te kaiwhakatu i a ia hei hoia.
5 And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.
Ki te whakataetae ano tetahi e kore ia e karaunatia, ki te kore e rite ki te tikanga tana whakataetae.
6 The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.
Ko te tikanga tenei, ko te kaingaki e mahi ana kia kai wawe i nga hua.
7 Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:
Whakaaroa aku e korero nei; a ma te Ariki e homai ki a koe he ngakau mahara i nga mea katoa.
8 Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,
Kia mahara ki a Ihu Karaiti, i whakaarahia nei i te hunga mate, he uri no Rawiri, e ai ki taku rongopai:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.
Ko te mea ano ia i pangia ai ahau e nga mamae, a hereherea noatia iho, ano he tangata mahi kino; otira e kore ta te Atua kupu e herea.
10 Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. (aiōnios g166)
Koia hoki ahau i whakaririka kau ai ki nga mea katoa he mea mo te hunga whiriwhiri; kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te ora i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ki te kororia mutungakore ano hoki. (aiōnios g166)
11 It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.
E pono ana hoki te korero, Ki te mate tahi tatou me ia, ka ora tahi ano hoki tatou me ia.
12 If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
Ki te manawanui tatou, ka whakakingitia ngatahitia tatou me ia: ki te whakakahore tatou, ka whakakahoretia hoki tatou e ia:
13 If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe.
Ki te kore tatou e whakapono, e mau ana ano tona pono: e kore e ahei kia whakakahore ia i a ia ano.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers.
Whakamaharatia ratou ki enei mea, me kauwhau i te aroaro o te Ariki, kia kaua e tautohetohe ki nga kupu huakore, ki nga mea whakaputa ke i nga kaiwhakarongo.
15 Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright.
Kia puta tau tohe mou kia tu ki te aroaro o te Atua, he mea e manakohia ana, he kaimahi e kore e whakama, e whawha tika ana i te kupu o te pono.
16 Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse.
Mawehe ki i nga korero whakarihariha, teka noa: ka neke ake hoki te karakia kore o era:
17 And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus,
A ka kaikai ta ratou kupu, ano he mea kua kikohangatia: no ratou a Himeniu raua ko Piritu;
18 Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine.
Kua he nei ki te pono, e mea ana, kua pahemo ke te aranga mai; a whakaputaia ketia ake e ratou te whakapono o etahi.
19 But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
E u ana ia te mau o ta te Atua turanga, ko tona hiri hoki tenei, E matau ana te Ariki ki ana ake: me tenei hoki, Kia mawehe ke i te he nga tangata katoa e whakahua ana i te ingoa o te Karaiti.
20 Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour.
Otiia i te whare nui ehara i te mea he koura kau, he hiriwa kau ranei nga oko, tera ano etahi he mea rakau, he mea oneone; etahi hei mea honore, etahi hei mea honorekore.
21 If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
Na, ki te mea te tangata i a ia kia ma i ena mea, hei oko ia mo te honore, kua oti te whakatapu, te whakapai mo a te rangatira tikanga, rite rawa mo nga mahi pai katoa.
22 Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart,
Oma atu i nga hiahia taitamariki: whaia te tika, te whakapono, te aroha, te rangimarie, e koutou tahi ko te hunga e karanga ana ki te Ariki i roto i te ngakau ma.
23 And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife.
Araia atu ano nga uiuinga wairangi, kuware, kia mahara hoki ko aua mea hei whakatupu whawhai.
24 But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,
Na e kore e pai kia ririhau te pononga a te Ariki; engari kia ngawari ki nga tangata katoa, kia whai ngakau ki te whakaako, kia manawanui.
25 Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth,
Kia whakaako marie i te hunga e totohe ana; me kore e hoatu e te Atua ki a ratou he ripeneta e whakaae ai ki te pono;
26 And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will.
Kia ara ake ai hoki i roto i te mahanga a te rewera te hunga i hopukia oratia e te pononga a te Ariki hei mahi i ta te Atua i pai ai.
