2 Teharonika 1

1 Na Paora, na ratou ko Hirawanu, ko Timoti, ki te hahi o te hunga o Teharonika i roto i te Atua, i to tatou Matua, i te Ariki hoki, i a Ihu Karaiti.

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy. To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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 to you, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 He tika rawa kia whakawhetai matou ki te Atua i nga wa katoa mo koutou, e oku teina, he mea pai ra hoki ia, no te mea e neke ake ana to koutou whakapono, hu nui rawa hoki te aroha o koutou katoa, o tetahi ki tetahi.

I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.

4 I whakamanamana ai matou ki a koutou i roto i nga hahi a te Atua, ki to koutou u, ki to koutou whakapono i nga whakatoinga katoa i a koutou, i nga tukinotanga hoki e whakaririka kau na koutou;

So that I myself am boasting about you among the churches of God, boasting of the stedfastness and faith which you are displaying in all the troubles and afflictions which you are enduring.

5 He tohu tenei mo te tika o ta te Atua whakawa, kia kiia ai koutou he tau mo te kingitanga o te Atua, e mate nei koutou he whakaaro ki tera:

They are an evidence of the righteous judgment of God, who will count you worthy of his kingdom, in behalf of which you are even now suffering.

6 Mehemea ia he tika ki te Atua kia utua ki te kino te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou;

For truly God’s justice must render back trouble to those who are troubling you,

7 A, ki a koutou hoki e tukinotia na, kia okioki tahi me matou, i te whakakitenga mai o te Ariki, o Ihu, i runga i te rangi me nga anahera o tona kaha,

and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

8 I roto i te mura ahi e rapu utu ana i te hunga kahore e matau ki te Atua, kahore nei hoki e ngohengohe ki te rongopai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

in flaming fire. Then shall he take vengeance on those who know not God, even on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

9 Ko te utu hoki e whakapangia ki a ratou he whakangaromanga, he mea mutungakore i te aroaro ano o te Ariki, i te kororia ano hoki o tona kaha; (aiōnios g166)

They shall suffer punishment, even an eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the brightness of his glorious majesty, (aiōnios g166)

10 Ina haere mai ia kia whakakororiatia i roto i tana hunga tapu, kia whakamoemititia i roto i te hunga whakapono katoa i taua ra; i whakapono na hoki koutou ki ta matou whakaatu i roto i a koutou.

when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all believers, on that Day; (for you also believed our testimony).

11 Koia nei matou ka inoi tonu nei mo koutou, kia meinga koutou e to tatou Atua he tau mo tenei karangatanga, kia whakaotia ano hoki e ia i runga i te kaha nga mea katoa i ahuareka ai tona pai, me te mahi ano hoki o te whakapono,

To this end I am making my constant prayer for you, beseeching God to make you worthy of your calling, and to fulfil mightily every desire of goodness and effort of faith;

12 Kia whakakororiatia ai te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, i roto i a koutou, me koutou hoki i roto i a ia, kia rite ai ki ta te aroha noa o to tatou Atua, o te Ariki hoki, o Ihu Karaiti.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in him, according to the grace of our God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
