2 Timoti 1

1 Na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, mo te ora i whakaaria mai i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus,

2 Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti aroha: Kia tau te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.

to Timothy my beloved son; grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, e mahi atu nei ahau ki a ia, he mea no oku tupuna iho i runga i te hinengaro ma, no te mea kahore e mutu toku mahara ki a koe i aku inoinga i te po, i te ao;

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, after the custom of my forefathers, that, without ceasing, I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day,

4 Nui atu toku hiahia kia kite i a koe, i ahau e mahara ana ki ou roimata, kia ki ai ahau i te hari;

greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 Ka hoki ake nei toku mahara ki te whakapono tinihangakore i roto i a koe; i noho tuatahi ra i roto i tou tupuna wahine, i a Roihi, i tou whaea hoki, i a Unihi; a e tino mohio ana ahau kei roto ano i a koe.

for I remember the unfeigned faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwells in you also.

6 Koia ahau ka whakamahara nei i a koe, kia whakaungia ano te ahi, te mea i hoatu na e te Atua, tena kei roto i a koe, he mea na te whakapanga atu o oku ringaringa.

Wherefore I exhort you to kindle up the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands.

7 Kahore hoki i homai e te Atua ki a tatou te wairua o te wehi; engari to te kaha, to te aroha, to te ngakau mahara.

For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8 Na, kei whakama koe ki te whakaatu i to tatou Ariki, ki ahau ranei, kia tona herehere: engari uru atu koe ki nga mate o te rongopai, kia rite ki ta te Atua whakakahanga;

Be not, therefore, ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner: but jointly suffer evil in the gospel according to the power of God,

9 Nana nei tatou i whakaora, nana hoki tatou i karanga ki te karangatanga tapu; kihai i rite ki a tatou mahi, engari ki tana ake tikanga i whakatakoto ai i mua, ki te aroha noa hoki i homai nei ki a tatou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, i mua atu o te tima tanga o te ao; (aiōnios g166)

who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)

10 A kua whakakitea mai nei inaianei i te putanga nui mai o to tatou Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu karaiti, i whakakahore nei i te mate, a whakakitea mai ana e ia te ora me te matengakore, he mea na te rongopai:

but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power, and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel;

11 Meinga iho nei ahau hei kaikauwhau mo tenei, hei apotoro, hei kaiwhakaako.

to which I have been appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles;

12 Ko te mea hoki tenei i pangia ai ahau e enei mate: he ahakoa ra kahore ahau e whakama: e matau ana hoki ahau ki taku i whakapono ai, e u ana toku whakaaro e taea e ia te tiaki taku i tuku atu ai ki a ia, a taea noatia taua ra.

for which cause I also suffer these things; yet I am not ashamed: for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have intrusted to him till that day.

13 Kia mau ki te tauira mo nga kupu tika i rongo ra koe ki ahau, puritia i runga i te whakapono, i te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faithfulness and in love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 Ko te mea pai i tukua ra ki a koe, me tiaki e koe, ara e te Wairua Tapu e noho ana i roto i a tatou.

That good thing which was intrusted to you, keep by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

15 E matau ana ko tenei, i tahuri ke i ahau te hunga katoa i Ahia; no ratou a Paikeru raua ko Heremokeni.

You know this, that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me; all those, I say, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

16 Kia tohungia e te Ariki nga tangata o te whare o Onehipora; he maha hoki oku oranga ngakau i a ia, kihai hoki ia i whakama ki toku mekameka.

May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

17 A, i a ia i Roma, i rapu marietia ahau e ia, a kitea ana.

but when he was in Rome, he sought for me very diligently, and found me.

18 Ma te Ariki e tuku ki a ia kia kite i te mahi tohu a te Ariki a taua ra: ko ana mahinga mea hoki maku i Epeha. erangi koe e mohio ana.

The Lord grant to him, that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered to me in Ephesus, you know very well.
