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 [thee] 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 instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.

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 doctrine; but after their own lusts will they multiply to themselves teachers, having 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 will 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 watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

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

For I am now ready to be offered, 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 a good fight, I have finished [my] course, 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 a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.

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

Do thy diligence to come shortly to me:

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 hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and hath departed 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.

Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12 Kua tonoa e ahau a Tikiku ki Epeha.

And Tychicus have I sent 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.

The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] 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 copper-smith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

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

Of whom be thou aware also; for he hath 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 answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me: [I pray God] that it may 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.

Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching 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 will preserve [me] to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. 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 abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I have left at Miletum sick.

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.

Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

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

The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen.
