2 Corinthians 2
1 For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
Ka naʻe pau hoku loto ki he meʻa ni, ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he mamahi.
2 For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
He kapau ʻoku ou fakamamahiʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea ko hai ia ʻoku ne fakafiefiaʻi au, ka ko ia kuo fakamamahiʻi ʻiate au?
3 And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
Ko ia ne u tohi ai ʻae meʻa ko ia kiate kimoutolu, telia naʻa ʻi heʻeku hoko atu, teu mamahi meiate kinautolu ʻoku totonu ke u fiefia ai; pea ʻoku ou falala kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, ko ʻeku fiefia ko e fiefia ia ʻo kimoutolu kotoa pē.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
He ne u tohi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he mamahi lahi mo e feinga loto mo e loʻimata lahi: ka naʻe ʻikai ke mou mamahi ai, ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ʻo lahi ʻaupito kiate kimoutolu.
5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
Pea kapau kuo fai fakamamahi ʻe ha taha, ʻoku ʻikai teu mamahi au, kae ʻi he niʻihi pe: ke ʻoua naʻaku fakamāfasia ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.
6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
Pea kuo lahi ki he tokotaha ko ia ʻa ʻetau tautea ni, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe he tokolahi.
7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
Ko ia ke ʻoua, ka mou fakamolemole muʻa, pea fakafiemālieʻi ia, telia naʻa fōngia hifo ʻae tokotaha ko ia ʻi he mamahi lahi.
8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
Ko ia ʻoku ou kole atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻofa kiate ia.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
He ko e meʻa ko ia naʻaku tohi ai foki, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai ha fakaʻilonga kiate kimoutolu, pe ʻoku mou talangofua ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
Ko ia ʻoku mou fakamolemole ha meʻa ki ai, ʻoku ou [fakamolemolea ]foki: pea ko ia kuo u fakamolemolea, ʻo kapau ne u fakamolemolea ha meʻa, [naʻaku fai ]ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Kalaisi;
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe Sētane: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau vale ki heʻene ngaahi filioʻi.
12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
Ka ʻi heʻeku hoko atu ki Taloasi, ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi, pea fakaava ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae matapā kiate au,
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
Naʻe ʻikai ha fiemālie ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai teu feʻiloaki mo hoku tokoua ko Taitusi: pea hili ʻemau māvae mo kinautolu, peau ʻalu mei ai ki Masitōnia.
14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
Pea ko eni, fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke mau faʻa ikuna ʻia Kalaisi, pea ʻoku ne fofola atu ʻae ngangatu ʻo ʻene ʻilo ʻiate kimautolu ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
He ko e ngangatu lelei ʻo Kalaisi ʻakimautolu ki he ʻOtua, ʻiate kinautolu kuo fakamoʻui, pea ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fakaʻauha:
16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
Ko e nanamu ʻoe mate ki he mate ki he niʻihi; pea ki he niʻihi ko e nanamu ʻoe moʻui ki he moʻui. Pea ko hai ʻoku taau mo e ngaahi meʻa ni?
17 For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
He ʻoku ʻikai te mau hangē ko e tokolahi, ʻoku fai kākā ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua: ka ʻi he moʻoni, ka ʻi he ʻOtua, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku mau lea kia Kalaisi.
