2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Na Paora, na ratou ko Hirawanu, ko Timoti, ki te hahi o te hunga o Teharonika i roto i te Atua, i to tatou Matua, i te Ariki hoki, i a Ihu Karaiti.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.

3 We always ought to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith increases greatly, and the love of each one of you all abounds to one another,

He tika rawa kia whakawhetai matou ki te Atua i nga wa katoa mo koutou, e oku teina, he mea pai ra hoki ia, no te mea e neke ake ana to koutou whakapono, hu nui rawa hoki te aroha o koutou katoa, o tetahi ki tetahi.

4 so that we ourselves glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you bear—

I whakamanamana ai matou ki a koutou i roto i nga hahi a te Atua, ki to koutou u, ki to koutou whakapono i nga whakatoinga katoa i a koutou, i nga tukinotanga hoki e whakaririka kau na koutou;

5 a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,

He tohu tenei mo te tika o ta te Atua whakawa, kia kiia ai koutou he tau mo te kingitanga o te Atua, e mate nei koutou he whakaaro ki tera:

6 since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you—tribulation,

Mehemea ia he tika ki te Atua kia utua ki te kino te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou;

7 and to you who are troubled—rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, with messengers of His power,

A, ki a koutou hoki e tukinotia na, kia okioki tahi me matou, i te whakakitenga mai o te Ariki, o Ihu, i runga i te rangi me nga anahera o tona kaha,

8 in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ,

I roto i te mura ahi e rapu utu ana i te hunga kahore e matau ki te Atua, kahore nei hoki e ngohengohe ki te rongopai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

9 who will suffer justice—continuous destruction—from the face of the LORD, and from the glory of His strength, (aiōnios g166)

Ko te utu hoki e whakapangia ki a ratou he whakangaromanga, he mea mutungakore i te aroaro ano o te Ariki, i te kororia ano hoki o tona kaha; (aiōnios g166)

10 when He may come to be glorified in His holy ones, and to be wondered at by all those believing—because our testimony was believed among you—in that day;

Ina haere mai ia kia whakakororiatia i roto i tana hunga tapu, kia whakamoemititia i roto i te hunga whakapono katoa i taua ra; i whakapono na hoki koutou ki ta matou whakaatu i roto i a koutou.

11 for which we also always pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of faith in power,

Koia nei matou ka inoi tonu nei mo koutou, kia meinga koutou e to tatou Atua he tau mo tenei karangatanga, kia whakaotia ano hoki e ia i runga i te kaha nga mea katoa i ahuareka ai tona pai, me te mahi ano hoki o te whakapono,

12 that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

Kia whakakororiatia ai te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, i roto i a koutou, me koutou hoki i roto i a ia, kia rite ai ki ta te aroha noa o to tatou Atua, o te Ariki hoki, o Ihu Karaiti.
