2 Timothy 2

1 Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,

Ko ia, ko hoku foha, ke ke mālohi koe ʻi he ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.

2 and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo ke fanongo ʻiate au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni tokolahi, ke ke tuku ia ki he kau tangata angatonu, ke nau faʻa fai ke akonekina foki ʻae niʻihi.

3 thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;

Ko ia ke ke faʻa kātaki ʻae ngaue faingataʻa, ʻo taau mo e tangata tau lelei ʻa Sisu Kalaisi.

4 no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please;

‌ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku ne fai ʻa ʻetau pea ne fakaʻefihia ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni; kaekehe ke fakafiemālie kiate ia kuo fili ia ko e tangata tau.

5 and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;

Pea kapau ʻoku feinga ʻe ha tokotaha ke ne ikuna, ʻoku ʻikai fakapale ia, kae ʻi heʻene feinga totonu.

6 the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake;

Pea ʻoku taau mo e tangata tauhi ngoue ke tomuʻa fai ʻae ngaue ʻi heʻene kai hono fua.

7 be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.

Tokanga ki heʻeku lea; pea ʻofa ke tuku kiate koe ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ʻilo ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.

8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,

Manatu kia Sisu Kalaisi ko e hako ʻo Tevita, naʻe fokotuʻu hake ia mei he mate, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku ongoongolelei:

9 in which I suffer evil — unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound;

‌ʻAia ʻoku ou mamahi ai ʻo hangē ha fai kovi, pea kuo haʻisia au; ka ʻoku ʻikai haʻisia ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.

10 because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that [is] in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during. (aiōnios g166)

Ko ia ʻoku ou faʻa kātaki ai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu kuo fili, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu foki ʻae fakamoʻui ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu mo e hakeakiʻi taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)

11 Stedfast [is] the word: For if we died together — we also shall live together;

Ko e tala moʻoni eni: “He kapau kuo tau mate mo ia, te tau moʻui foki mo ia:

12 if we do endure together — we shall also reign together; if we deny [him], he also shall deny us;

Kapau ʻoku tau faʻa kātaki, te tau pule foki mo ia: kapau te tau liʻaki ia, te ne liʻaki ʻakitautolu foki:

13 if we are not stedfast, he remaineth stedfast; to deny himself he is not able.

Kapau ʻoku tau taʻetui, ka ʻoku moʻoni pehē ai pe ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fakaʻikaiʻi ia.”

14 These things remind [them] of, testifying fully before the Lord — not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;

Fakamanatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo fekau [kiate kinautolu ]ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakakikihi ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga, [ka ]ko e fakahēʻi ʻoe kau fanongo ki ai.

15 be diligent to present thyself approved to God — a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;

Ke ke feinga ke fakahā koe ʻoku ke lelei ki he ʻOtua, ko e tangata ngaue ʻoku ʻikai ke mā, kae vahevahe totonu atu ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni.

16 and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more impiety they will advance,

Ka ke siʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea papūnoa mo e kovi: koeʻuhi ʻe tupu pea ʻāsili ai ʻae anga fakataʻelotu.

17 and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,

Pea ʻe keina ʻenau lea ʻo hangē ko e popo: pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAiminia mo Failito;

18 who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some;

‌ʻAkinaua kuo na hē mei he moʻoni, ʻo na pehē kuo hili ange ʻae toetuʻu; pea kuo na fulihi ʻae tui ʻae niʻihi.

19 sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, 'The Lord hath known those who are His,' and 'Let him depart from unrighteousness — every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

Ka ʻoku tuʻumaʻu pe ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻilonga ni, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻana;” pea, “Ke ʻilonga ia ʻoku ne huaʻaki ʻae huafa ʻo Kalaisi, ke afe ia mei he angahia.”

20 And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honour, and some to dishonour:

Ka ʻi he fale lahi ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata ʻi he ngaahi ipu koula mo siliva pe, ka ʻoku ʻi ai mo e ipu ʻakau mo e ʻumea; ko e niʻihi ke ʻaonga lahi, mo e niʻihi ke ʻaonga siʻi pe.

21 if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master — to every good work having been prepared,

Ko ia kapau ʻe fakamaʻa ia ʻe ha tangata mei he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe hoko ai ia ko e ipu ke ʻaonga lahi, kuo fakatapuʻi, pea taau mo e ʻeiki ke ngāueʻaki kuo teuteu ki he ngaue lelei kotoa pe.

22 and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

Ke ke puna foki mei he ngaahi holi fakatalavou: ka ke tuli ki he māʻoniʻoni, mo e angatonu, mo e ʻofa, mo e melino, kiate kinautolu ʻoku ui ki he ʻEiki ʻi he lotomaʻa.

23 and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife,

Ka ke liʻaki ʻae ngaahi fehuʻi vale mo launoa, ʻi hoʻo ʻilo ʻoku tupu ai ʻae fakakikihi.

24 and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,

Pea ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke fakakikihi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻEiki; ka ke angavaivai ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo faʻa ako, mo faʻa kātaki,

25 in meekness instructing those opposing — if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

‌ʻO akonekina ʻi he angamalū ʻakinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu; heiʻilo ʻe foaki ai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatomala ke nau tui ki he moʻoni;

26 and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.

Pea nau fakahaofia ʻakinautolu mei he tauhele ʻae tēvolo, ʻakinautolu kuo ne moʻua ʻo fakapōpulaʻi ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe.
