2 Timothy 1
1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
Na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, mo te ora i whakaaria mai i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,
2 to Timothy, my beloved son: grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti aroha: Kia tau te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I keep up a constant remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, e mahi atu nei ahau ki a ia, he mea no oku tupuna iho i runga i te hinengaro ma, no te mea kahore e mutu toku mahara ki a koe i aku inoinga i te po, i te ao;
4 earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I might be filled with joy;
Nui atu toku hiahia kia kite i a koe, i ahau e mahara ana ki ou roimata, kia ki ai ahau i te hari;
5 recalling to my memory the unfeigned faith which was in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it is in thee also.
Ka hoki ake nei toku mahara ki te whakapono tinihangakore i roto i a koe; i noho tuatahi ra i roto i tou tupuna wahine, i a Roihi, i tou whaea hoki, i a Unihi; a e tino mohio ana ahau kei roto ano i a koe.
6 For which cause I remind thee that thou fan into a flame the divine gift, which is in thee by the imposition of my hands.
Koia ahau ka whakamahara nei i a koe, kia whakaungia ano te ahi, te mea i hoatu na e te Atua, tena kei roto i a koe, he mea na te whakapanga atu o oku ringaringa.
7 For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of courage, and of love, and of sobriety.
Kahore hoki i homai e te Atua ki a tatou te wairua o te wehi; engari to te kaha, to te aroha, to te ngakau mahara.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer affliction with me in the gospel, supported by the power of God;
Na, kei whakama koe ki te whakaatu i to tatou Ariki, ki ahau ranei, kia tona herehere: engari uru atu koe ki nga mate o te rongopai, kia rite ki ta te Atua whakakahanga;
9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time had a beginning; (aiōnios g166)
Nana nei tatou i whakaora, nana hoki tatou i karanga ki te karangatanga tapu; kihai i rite ki a tatou mahi, engari ki tana ake tikanga i whakatakoto ai i mua, ki te aroha noa hoki i homai nei ki a tatou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, i mua atu o te tima tanga o te ao; (aiōnios g166)
10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought to light life and immortality by the gospel:
A kua whakakitea mai nei inaianei i te putanga nui mai o to tatou Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu karaiti, i whakakahore nei i te mate, a whakakitea mai ana e ia te ora me te matengakore, he mea na te rongopai:
11 whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
Meinga iho nei ahau hei kaikauwhau mo tenei, hei apotoro, hei kaiwhakaako.
12 For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed: for I know on whom I have placed my confidence, and am persuaded that he is mighty to guard my deposit unto the great day.
Ko te mea hoki tenei i pangia ai ahau e enei mate: he ahakoa ra kahore ahau e whakama: e matau ana hoki ahau ki taku i whakapono ai, e u ana toku whakaaro e taea e ia te tiaki taku i tuku atu ai ki a ia, a taea noatia taua ra.
13 Model thy teaching according to the pattern of the sound discourses, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Kia mau ki te tauira mo nga kupu tika i rongo ra koe ki ahau, puritia i runga i te whakapono, i te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
14 The glorious deposit committed to thy trust, guard by the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in us.
Ko te mea pai i tukua ra ki a koe, me tiaki e koe, ara e te Wairua Tapu e noho ana i roto i a tatou.
15 Knowest thou this, that all those of Asia have deserted me? among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
E matau ana ko tenei, i tahuri ke i ahau te hunga katoa i Ahia; no ratou a Paikeru raua ko Heremokeni.
16 The Lord grant mercy unto the household of Onesiphorus because he frequently was a refreshment to my soul, and was not ashamed of my chain:
Kia tohungia e te Ariki nga tangata o te whare o Onehipora; he maha hoki oku oranga ngakau i a ia, kihai hoki ia i whakama ki toku mekameka.
17 but, when he was at Rome, he sought me out diligently, and found me.
A, i a ia i Roma, i rapu marietia ahau e ia, a kitea ana.
18 The Lord grant that he may find mercy with the Lord in the great day; and how liberally he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest better than any other person.
Ma te Ariki e tuku ki a ia kia kite i te mahi tohu a te Ariki a taua ra: ko ana mahinga mea hoki maku i Epeha. erangi koe e mohio ana.
