2 Timothy 3
1 But know this, that in the last days terrible times will come.
Kia matau koe ki tenei, ko a nga ra o te whakamutunga puta mai ai nga wa o te he.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
E aroha hoki nga tangata ki a ratou ano, e aroha ki te moni, e whakapehapeha, e whakakake, e kohukohu, e tutu ki nga matua, kahore he whakawhetai, kahore he tapu,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, hateful of good,
Kahore he aroha, he upoko maro, he ngautuara, e kore e pehi i te ngakau, he hunga nanakia, kahore e aroha ki te pai,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
He hunga taku tangata, he hunga hikaka, whakakake, to ratou aroha kei nga mahi takaro kahore ia ki te Atua;
5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.
Ko te ahua o te karakia kei a ratou, tona kaha ia whakakahoretia iho: tahuri ke koe i nga tangata pera.
6 For among them are those who crawl into households and take captive weak-willed women weighed down with sins, led away by various passions and pleasures,
No ratou hoki te hunga e kuhu nei ki nga whare, a riro parau ana i a ratou nga wahine heahea, e taimaha nei i te hara, he mea kawhaki na nga hiahia maha,
7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
E ako tonu ana, heoi kahore rawa kia tae ki te matauranga o te pono.
8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; people corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith.
E rite ana ki a Hani raua ko Hamapiri i totohe ki a Mohi; waihoki ko enei tangata e totohe ana ki te pono: he hunga kua kino ke te hinengaro, he rukenga atu i roto i te whakapono.
9 But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all, as theirs also was.
Heoi e kore ratou e kake haere: ka kitea hoki to ratou kuwaretanga e te katoa, ka pera hoki me to raua.
10 But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
Otira kua mau na i a koe taku whakaako, taku whakahaere, toku whakaaro whakatakoto, toku whakapono, toku puhoi ki te riri, toku aroha, toku manawanui,
11 persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. Out of them all the Lord delivered me.
Oku whakatoinga, oku matenga i mate ai ahau i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma, i Raihitara; nga whakatoinga i whakatoia ai ahau: heoi whakaorangia ake ahau e te Ariki i roto i te katoa.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
A e whakatoia ano te hunga katoa e hiahia ana kia noho i runga i te karakia i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
13 But evil people and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Ko te hunga kino ia, me te hunga maminga, ka kake haere te kino, ka tinihanga, a ka tinihangatia.
14 But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
Tena ko koe kia mau ki nga mea i ako ra koe, i whakaaetia ra e koe, e matau na hoki koe ki tou kaiwhakaako ki ena mea:
15 From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.
Ki a koe ano i mohio o tou tamarikitanga ake, ki nga karaipiture tapu, ko nga mea era e whai matauranga ai koe, e ora ai, i runga i te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
No te ha o te Atua nga karaipiture katoa, he pai hoki hei whakaako, hei riri i te he, hei whakatikatika, hei whakaako ki te tika;
17 that the person of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Kia tino rite ai te tangata a te Atua, rite rawa mo nga mahi pai katoa.
