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 emissary of Yeshua the Messiah through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Yeshua,

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 child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua 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 as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, 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;

longing to see you, remembering 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.

having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, 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.

For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through 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 didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

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;

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News 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 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 to us in Messiah Yeshua before times eternal, (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 has now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour, Messiah Yeshua, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

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

For this I was appointed as a proclaimer, an emissary, 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 this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against 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 the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.

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 committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who 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.

This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus 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 grant 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 me 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 to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
