2 Timothy 2
1 Yoʋ then, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Na, ko koe, e taku tamaiti, kia kaha i runga i te aroha noa i roto i a Ihu.
2 Entrust what yoʋ have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses to faithful men who will be competent to teach others 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 Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Tukua atu nga mamae ki a koe, kia rite ki te hoia pai a Ihu Karaiti.
4 No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of civilian life, since he seeks to please the one who enlisted him.
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 Similarly, an athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
Ki te whakataetae ano tetahi e kore ia e karaunatia, ki te kore e rite ki te tikanga tana whakataetae.
6 The hardworking farmer ought to receive the first share of the crops.
Ko te tikanga tenei, ko te kaingaki e mahi ana kia kai wawe i nga hua.
7 Think about what I am saying. May the Lord give yoʋ understanding in everything.
Whakaaroa aku e korero nei; a ma te Ariki e homai ki a koe he ngakau mahara i nga mea katoa.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, the offspring of David, who was raised 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 For this gospel I suffer to the point of being chained like a criminal, but the word of God is not chained.
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 endure everything for the sake of the chosen, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (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 This saying is trustworthy: If we died with him, we will also live 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 endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us;
Ki te manawanui tatou, ka whakakingitia ngatahitia tatou me ia: ki te whakakahore tatou, ka whakakahoretia hoki tatou e ia:
13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful; he cannot deny himself.
Ki te kore tatou e whakapono, e mau ana ano tona pono: e kore e ahei kia whakakahore ia i a ia ano.
14 Remind the people of these things, solemnly charging them before the Lord not to quarrel about words, which does no good but only leads to the ruin of those who are listening.
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 Be diligent to present yoʋrself to God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly teaches the word of truth.
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 Avoid profane chatter, for those who engage in such talk will stray further and further into ungodliness,
Mawehe ki i nga korero whakarihariha, teka noa: ka neke ake hoki te karakia kore o era:
17 and their message will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
A ka kaikai ta ratou kupu, ano he mea kua kikohangatia: no ratou a Himeniu raua ko Piritu;
18 who have strayed from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are undermining the faith of some.
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 Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord must depart from unrighteousness.”
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 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for honorable use and some for dishonorable use.
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 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master, and prepared for every good work.
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 youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a 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 Have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant controversies, knowing that they breed quarrels.
Araia atu ano nga uiuinga wairangi, kuware, kia mahara hoki ko aua mea hei whakatupu whawhai.
24 A servant of the Lord ought not to quarrel, but to be kind to everyone, able to teach, and patient,
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 his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth.
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 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to do 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.
