2 Koriniti 13
1 Hei tuatoru tenei mo oku haerenga atu ki a koutou. Ma te mangai o nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei, ka u ai nga kupu katoa.
This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."
2 Kua korero ano ahau i mua, ka korero ano inaianei, pera i te tuarua o oku wa i kona, a i ahau e ngaro mai nei, ki te hunga i hara i mua, ki era katoa ano hoki, na, ki te tae atu ano ahau, e kore e tohungia e ahau;
I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
3 E rapu tohu na hoki koutou o te Karaiti e korero ana i roto i ahau; kahore nei ia e ngoikore ki a koutou, engari e kaha ana i roto i a koutou:
seeing that you seek a proof of Messiah who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.
4 I ripekatia hoki ia i te mea e ngoikore ana, otiia kei te ora ia, na te kaha o te Atua. He ngoikore hoki matou i roto i a ia, heoi ka ora tahi ano me ia, he meatanga na te kaha o te Atua ki a koutou.
For indeed he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
5 Whakamatauria iho koutou ano, mehemea ranei koutou kei roto i te whakapono; tirohia iho o koutou tohu e koutou ano. Tena ranei kahore koutou e matau ana ki a koutou ano, kei roto i a koutou a Ihu Karaiti? ki te mea ia ehara koutou i te mea akiri.
Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do you not know as to your own selves, that Yeshua the Messiah is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
6 Otira e u ana toku whakaaro, e matau ana ano koutou, ehara matou i te mea akiri.
But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.
7 Na, ko ta matou inoi tenei ki te Atua, kia kaua koutou e mea i tetahi kino; ehara i te mea mo matou kia kitea e paingia ana, engari mo koutou kia mahi i te pai, ahakoa ko matou hei mea akiri.
Now we pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.
8 E kore hoki e taea e matou tetahi mea e he ai te pono, engari te mea e u ai te pono.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 E hari ana hoki matou ina ngoikore matou, ina kaha koutou: ko ta matou hoki tenei e inoi nei, ko koutou kia tino tika.
For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.
10 Koia ahau ka tuhituhi atu nei i enei mea, i ahau e ngaro mai nei, kei tae atu ahau ki kona, ka koi taku i runga i te mana kua tukua mai nei e te Ariki ki ahau hei hanga mo te whare, ehara i te mea hei wahi.
For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.
11 Kati ra, e oku teina, hei kona. Kia tino tika; kia marie te ngakau; kia kotahi te whakaaro; kia mau te rongo: a tera te Atua o te aroha, o te maunga rongo, e noho ki a koutou.
Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi tapu ano.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13 Tenei te hunga tapu katoa te oha atu nei ki a koutou.
All the kadoshim greet you.
14 Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te atawhai o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, me te aroha o te Atua, me te whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua Tapu. Amine.
The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, be with you all.
