2 Koriniti 1
1 Na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Timoti, ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ratou ko te hunga tapu katoa i Akaia puta noa:
Pavl an Apostle of JESVS Christ, by the will of God, and our brother Timotheus, to the Church of God, which is at Corinthus with all the Saints, which are in all Achaia:
2 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.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
3 Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, te Matua o nga mahi tohu, te Atua o te whakamarie katoa;
Blessed be God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort,
4 Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakamarie i a matou i o matou paweratanga katoa, e taea ai e matou te whakamarie te hunga e pehia ana e te aha, e te aha, ma te whakamarie e whakamarie nei te Atua i a matou.
Which comforteth vs in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherewith we our selues are comforted of God.
5 I te mea kei te hira tonu nga mamae o te Karaiti i roto i a matou, kei te pera ano te hira o to matou whakamarietanga i roto i a te Karaiti.
For as the sufferings of Christ abounde in vs, so our consolation aboundeth through Christ.
6 Na, ahakoa tukinotia matou, he mea tena kia whakamarietia ai, kia whakaorangia ai koutou; ahakoa ranei whakamarietia matou, he mea tena kia whakamarietia ai koutou, koia tena e mahi na, i a koutou ka whakaririka kau na ki aua mamae e mamae nei ho ki matou:
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and saluation, which is wrought in the induring of the same sufferings, which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and saluation.
7 E u ana hoki to matou whakaaro ki a koutou, i te mohio iho, ka uru na koutou ki nga mamae, ka uru ano hoki koutou ki te whakamarietanga.
And our hope is stedfast concerning you, in as much as we know that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8 Kahore hoki matou e pai kia ngaro i a koutou, e oku teina, te paweratanga i tupono ki a matou i Ahia, te tino taimaha o te pehanga i a matou, nuku noa atu i to matou kaha, na poroporoaki ana matou ki te ora:
For brethren, we woulde not haue you ignorant of our affliction, which came vnto vs in Asia, howe we were pressed out of measure passing strength, so that we altogether doubted, euen of life.
9 Ae, i roto ano i a matou te kupu mo te mate, kia kaua o matou whakaaro e u ki a matou ano, engari ki te Atua, ki te kaiwhakaara i te hunga mate:
Yea, we receiued the sentence of death in our selues, because we shoulde not trust in our selues, but in God, which rayseth the dead.
10 Nana matou i whakaora i taua mate nui, a e whakaora ano ia: e u ana o matou whakaaro ki a ia, tera ia e whakaora tonu i a matou;
Who deliuered vs from so great a death, and doeth deliuer vs: in whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliuer vs,
11 Me koutou hoki ka awhina tahi na ki ta koutou inoi mo matou; kia whakawhetai te tokomaha mo matou, mo te aroha noa na te tokomaha i homai ki a matou.
So that ye labour together in prayer for vs, that for the gift bestowed vpon vs for many, thankes may be giuen by many persons for vs.
12 Ko ta matou whakamanamana hoki ko tenei, ko te whakaaetanga ake o to matou hinengaro, kei runga i te tapu, i te tapatahi o te Atua, ehara i te mea kei runga i to te kikokiko mohio, engari i to te Atua aroha noa, ta matou whakahaere i te ao, ki a koutou rawa ano ia.
For our reioycing is this, the testimonie of our conscience, that in simplicitie and godly purenesse, and not in fleshly wisedome, but by the grace of God wee haue had our conuersation in the worlde, and most of all to you wardes.
13 Ehara hoki ta matou e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koutou i te mea ke i ta koutou e korero na i te pukapuka, e whakaae na; a e u ana toku whakaaro, e whakaae koutou taea noatia te mutunga;
For wee write none other thinges vnto you, then that ye reade or els that ye acknowledge, and I trust ye shall acknowledge vnto ye end.
14 Me koutou ano i whakaae mai na ko tetahi wahi ki a matou, ko matou ta koutou e whakamanamana ai, pera hoki me koutou, ko koutou ta matou e whakamanamana ai i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu.
Euen as ye haue acknowledged vs partly, that we are your reioycing, euen as ye are ours, in the day of our Lord Iesus.
15 Na, i toku whakapono ki tenei, i mea ahau kia haere atu i mua ra ki a koutou, kia rua ai painga ki a koutou;
And in this confidence was I minded first to come vnto you, that ye might haue had a double grace,
16 Kia tika atu ma koutou na ki Makeronia, a kia hoki mai i Makeronia ki a koutou, a ma koutou e whakatika atu taku haere ki Huria.
And to passe by you into Macedonia, and to come againe out of Macedonia vnto you, and to be led foorth towarde Iudea of you.
17 Na, i ahau ka whakaaro i tenei, i hanga noa iho ranei toku ngakau? he whakaaro ranei no te kikokiko oku whakaaro e mea ai ahau, Ae, ae, kahore, kahore?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I vse lightnesse? or minde I those thinges which I minde, according to the flesh, that with me should be, Yea, yea, and Nay, nay?
18 Otira i te mea he pono te Atua, ehara ta matou kupu ki a koutou i te ae, i te kahore.
Yea, God is faithfull, that our worde towarde you was not Yea, and Nay.
19 Ko te Tama hoki a te Atua, ko Ihu Karaiti, i kauwhautia ra e matou i roto i a koutou, ara e ahau, e Hirawanu, e Timoti, ehara i te ae, i te kahore ranei, engari he ae i roto i a ia.
For the Sonne of God Iesus Christ, who was preached among you by vs, that is, by me, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, was not Yea, and Nay: but in him it was Yea.
20 Pewhea ake hoki te maha o nga kupu homai a te Atua, kei roto tonu i a ia te ae; a ma roto mai hoki i a ia te Amine, hei kororia mo te Atua i roto i a tatou.
For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and are in him Amen, vnto the glorie of God through vs.
21 Na, ko te kaiwhakau i a matou me koutou i roto i a te Karaiti, ko te kaiwhakawahi i a tatou, ko te Atua;
And it is God which stablisheth vs with you in Christ, and hath anoynted vs.
22 Nana tatou i hiri, nana hoki i homai te wahi tuatahi, ara te Wairua ki roto ki o tatou ngakau.
Who hath also sealed vs, and hath giuen the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Na, ka karanga ahau ki te Atua hei kaititiro mo toku wairua, he tohu naku i a koutou te haere wawe atu ai ahau ki Koriniti.
Nowe, I call God for a recorde vnto my soule, that to spare you, I came not as yet vnto Corinthus.
24 Ehara i te mea hei rangatira matou mo to koutou whakapono, engari hei hoa mahi matou i te hari mo koutou: na te whakapono hoki koutou i tu ai.
Not that wee haue dominion ouer your faith, but wee are helpers of your ioy: for by faith yee stande.
