2 Timoti 4

1 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe i te aroaro o te Atua, o Karaiti Ihu hoki, mana nei e whakawa te hunga ora me te hunga mate, i te ahua o tona putanga mai me tona rangatiratanga,

I charge you, therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,

2 Kauwhautia te kupu; tohea i nga wa pai, i nga wa kino; riria te he, whakahengia iho, whakahaua, whakapaua te manawanui me te whakaako.

preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.

3 Tenei ake hoki te wa e kore ai ratou e whakarongo ki te whakaako tika; heoi, i te mea he taringa minamina o ratou, ka apohia e ratou he kaiwhakaako e rite ana ki o ratou na hiahia.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching, but according to their own desires they will procure for themselves an abundance of teachers to gratify their itching ears:

4 Ka tahuri ke o ratou taringa i te pono, ka anga atu ki nga korero tito noa.

and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to fables.

5 Kia mau ia koe i nga mea katoa; tukua atu nga mamae ki a koe; mahia te mahi a te kaikauwhau i te rongopai; whakapaua tau mahi minita.

But do you be watchful in all things, endure evil, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry?

6 Tenei hoki ahau kei te ringihia, kua rite ano te wa hei haerenga moku.

For I am now ready to be poured out, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7 Kua whawhaitia e ahau te whawhai pai, kua omakia toku omanga, kua rite i ahau te whakapono:

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith:

8 Kei te takoto mai moku i nga wa o muri nei e karauna o te tika, e homai ki ahau a taua ra e te Ariki, e te kaiwhakawa tika: he teka ki ahau anake, engari ki te hunga katoa ano hoki kua matenui ki tona putanga mai.

henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me at that day; and not to me only, but to all those who love his appearing.

9 Kia puta tou uaua ki te haere wawe mai ki ahau:

Endeavor to come to me shortly;

10 Kua whakarerea ahau e Rimaha, he aroha nona ki tenei ao, a haere ana a ki Teharonika; kua riro atu a Kerekena ki Karatia, a Taituha ki Raramatia. (aiōn g165)

for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age; and he has gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Ko Ruka anake kei ahau. Tena a Maka mauria mai hei hoa mou; he pai hoki ia mo taku mahi minita.

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for the ministry.

12 Kua tonoa e ahau a Tikiku ki Epeha.

I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13 Ka haere mai koe, mauria mai te koroka i mahue atu i ahau ki Toroa, ki a Karapu, me nga pukapuka; tena rawa ia nga kirihipi.

When you come, bring the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 He maha nga kino i meatia mai e Arehanera, e te kaimahi parahi ki ahau: ma te Ariki e hoatu ki a ia he utu e rite ana ki ana mahi:

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord repay him according to his works.

15 Kia tupato hoki koe ki a ia; he rahi rawa hoki tana totohe ki a matou kupu.

Do you, also, beware of him, for he has greatly withstood our words.

16 I taku korerotanga tuatahi, i karo ai i ahau, kahore he tangata hei tuara moku, heoi whakarerea ake ahau e te katoa. Kaua tenei e whakairia ki a ratou.

At my first defense no one stood by me, but all forsook me; may it not be laid to their charge:

17 I tu ia te Ariki ki toku taha, nana hoki ahau i whakakaha; kia whakapaua rawatia ai e ahau te kauwhau, kia rongo katoa ai nga tauiwi: a toia mai ana ahau i roto i te mangai o te raiona.

but the Lord stood by me, and gave me strength, that through me that which is preached might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 Tera ahau e toia mai e te Ariki i roto i nga mahi kino katoa, e whakaorangia hoki tae noa ki tona rangatiratanga i te rangi: waiho atu i a ia te kororia ake ake. Amine. (aiōn g165)

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)

19 Oha atu ki a Pirihira raua ko Akuira, ki te hunga ano hoki o te whare o Onehipora.

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

20 I noho atu a Eratu i Koriniti: ko Toropimu i mahue atu i ahau ki Miretu, he mate.

Erastus remained at Corinth. I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.

21 Kia puta tou uaua ki te haere mai i mua o te hotoke. Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koe a Upuru, a Purena, a Rinuha, a Karauria, me nga teina katoa.

Endeavor to come to me before winter. Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren salute you.

22 Kia noho te Ariki ki tou wairua, Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou.

The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.
