2 Timoti 3

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

This know also, that in the last days perilous times will 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 will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 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, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

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

Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more 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.

Having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such 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 this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with 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.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, 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 will be manifest to all [men], as theirs also was.

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 hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, 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, afflictions which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but 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.

And all indeed that will live godly in Christ Jesus will 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 seducers will become 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 continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from 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 child thou hast known the sacred scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to 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;

All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction 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 perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.
