2 Timoti 3

1 Kia matau koe ki tenei, ko a nga ra o te whakamutunga puta mai ai nga wa o te he.

But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

2 E aroha hoki nga tangata ki a ratou ano, e aroha ki te moni, e whakapehapeha, e whakakake, e kohukohu, e tutu ki nga matua, kahore he whakawhetai, kahore he tapu,

For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Kahore he aroha, he upoko maro, he ngautuara, e kore e pehi i te ngakau, he hunga nanakia, kahore e aroha ki te pai,

without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

4 He hunga taku tangata, he hunga hikaka, whakakake, to ratou aroha kei nga mahi takaro kahore ia ki te Atua;

traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5 Ko te ahua o te karakia kei a ratou, tona kaha ia whakakahoretia iho: tahuri ke koe i nga tangata pera.

holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

6 No ratou hoki te hunga e kuhu nei ki nga whare, a riro parau ana i a ratou nga wahine heahea, e taimaha nei i te hara, he mea kawhaki na nga hiahia maha,

For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

7 E ako tonu ana, heoi kahore rawa kia tae ki te matauranga o te pono.

ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 E rite ana ki a Hani raua ko Hamapiri i totohe ki a Mohi; waihoki ko enei tangata e totohe ana ki te pono: he hunga kua kino ke te hinengaro, he rukenga atu i roto i te whakapono.

And like as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 Heoi e kore ratou e kake haere: ka kitea hoki to ratou kuwaretanga e te katoa, ka pera hoki me to raua.

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

10 Otira kua mau na i a koe taku whakaako, taku whakahaere, toku whakaaro whakatakoto, toku whakapono, toku puhoi ki te riri, toku aroha, toku manawanui,

But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

11 Oku whakatoinga, oku matenga i mate ai ahau i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma, i Raihitara; nga whakatoinga i whakatoia ai ahau: heoi whakaorangia ake ahau e te Ariki i roto i te katoa.

persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 A e whakatoia ano te hunga katoa e hiahia ana kia noho i runga i te karakia i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13 Ko te hunga kino ia, me te hunga maminga, ka kake haere te kino, ka tinihanga, a ka tinihangatia.

But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 Tena ko koe kia mau ki nga mea i ako ra koe, i whakaaetia ra e koe, e matau na hoki koe ki tou kaiwhakaako ki ena mea:

But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 Ki a koe ano i mohio o tou tamarikitanga ake, ki nga karaipiture tapu, ko nga mea era e whai matauranga ai koe, e ora ai, i runga i te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu.

and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 No te ha o te Atua nga karaipiture katoa, he pai hoki hei whakaako, hei riri i te he, hei whakatikatika, hei whakaako ki te tika;

Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:

17 Kia tino rite ai te tangata a te Atua, rite rawa mo nga mahi pai katoa.

that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
