< 1 Tesalonaika 2 >
1 He ʻoku ʻilo ʻekimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ko ʻemau hoko atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia:
E matau ana hoki koutou, e oku teina, ki to matou haerenga atu ki a koutou, ehara i te mea i kore tikanga;
2 Kae hili ʻemau tomuʻa mamahi, mo homau ngaohikoviʻi ʻaupito, ʻi Filipai, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻilo, naʻa mau mālohi ʻi homau ʻOtua ke leaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua lolotonga ʻae fakatanga lahi.
Heoi mate ana matou i mua ra, tukinotia ana i Piripai, e matau na koutou, otira maia tonu matou i roto i to tatou Atua ki te korero i te rongopai o te Atua ki a koutou i roto i te uaua nui.
3 He naʻe ʻikai ʻi he kākā ʻemau akonaki, pe ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni, pe ʻi he fakaoloolo:
Ko ta matou whakahauhau na hoki, ehara i te mea na te tinihanga, na te poke ranei, ehara ano hoki i te mea hangareka.
4 Ka ʻi heʻene lelei ki he ʻOtua ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae ongoongolelei, ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻemau lea; ʻo ʻikai ko e fakafiemālie ki he kakai, ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻahiʻahiʻi homau loto.
Engari, ka pai nei te Atua kia tukua ki a matou te rongopai, ka pera ta matou korero; ehara i te mea kia whakamanawarekatia te tangata, engari te Atua, e whakamatautau nei i o tatou ngakau.
5 He ʻoku mou ʻilo, naʻe ʻikai te mau ngāueʻaki ʻae lea fakalai ʻi ha kuonga ʻe taha, pe ko e kofu ʻoe manumanu; ko e fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻOtua:
Kahore hoki matou i kitea e korero ana i te kupu whakapati, e matau na ano hoki koutou, e huna ana ranei i te ngakau apo; ko te Atua te kaititiro mai.
6 Pea naʻe ʻikai te mau kumi ha fakamālō mei he tangata, pe meiate kimoutolu, pe mei ha niʻihi kehe, ka naʻe ngofua pe ke mau fakamāfasia ʻakimoutolu, ʻo taau mo e kau ʻaposetolo ʻo Kalaisi.
Kihai ano matou i rapu kororia i te tangata, i a koutou ranei, i era atu ranei, ahakoa i tika matou, he apotoro nei na te Karaiti, kia mea he tangata whai tikanga matou.
7 Ka naʻa mau ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he angavaivai, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e tauhi ʻoku ne tauhi ʻofa ʻene fānau:
Engari i ngawari matou i waenganui i a koutou, i rite ki te kaiatawhai e whakaahuru ana i ana tamariki ake.
8 Pea ʻi he ʻemau tokanga ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, naʻa mau loto ke ʻatu kiate kimoutolu, ʻikai ko e ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua pe, ka ko ʻemau moʻui foki, koeʻuhi ko e ʻofeina lahi ʻakimoutolu kiate kimautolu.
Pera tonu to matou matenui ki a koutou, ehara i te mea ko te rongopai anake o te Atua ta matou i pai ai kia hoatu ki a koutou, engari ko o matou ake wairua, i te mea kua aroha nui matou ki a koutou.
9 He ʻoku mou manatu, ʻe kāinga, ʻemau ngaue mo e ongosia: ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaue ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mau fakamasiva ha tokotaha ʻiate kimoutolu, pea naʻa mau malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
E mahara ana hoki koutou, e oku teina, ki ta matou mahi, ki to matou mauiui: mahi ana matou i te po, i te ao, kei taimaha ki tetahi o koutou, kauwhautia ana hoki e matou te rongopai o te Atua ki a koutou.
10 Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu, mo e ʻOtua foki, ki heʻemau ʻulungāanga māʻoniʻoni mo totonu mo taʻehalaia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku tui:
Ko koutou nga kaititiro, ko te Atua hoki, ki te tapu, ki te tika, ki te kore he o ta matou whakahaere ki a koutou e whakapono na.
11 Pea ʻoku mou ʻilo foki ʻemau enginakiʻi mo fakafiemālie mo fakapapau kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tamai ki heʻene fānau,
A e matau ana ano koutou ki ta matou mahi ki tetahi, ki tetahi o koutou, pera i ta te matua ki ana tamariki ake, te whakahauhau, te whakahihiri i a koutou, te tohutohu,
12 Koeʻuhi ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne ui ʻakimoutolu ki hono puleʻanga mo hono nāunau.
Mo ta koutou haere kia rite ki ta te Atua, nana nei koutou i karanga ki tona rangatiratanga, ki tona kororia.
13 Ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku mau fakafetaʻi taʻetuku ai foki ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi, ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia ne mou fanongo ai ʻiate kimautolu, naʻe ʻikai te mou maʻu ia ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae tangata, kae hangē ko ia ʻoku moʻoni, ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ngaue ʻaonga foki kiate kimoutolu ʻoku tui.
Mo konei matou ka whakawhetai tonu nei ki te Atua, no te mea i to koutou tahuritanga ki te kupu a te Atua i rongo ra koutou ki a matou, ehara i te mea he tahuri no koutou ki te kupu tangata, engari ki te kupu a te Atua, ko ia pu na hoki ia e mah i na i roto i a koutou, i te hunga e whakapono na.
14 He naʻa mou hoko, ʻe kāinga, ko e kau faʻifaʻitaki ki he ngaahi siasi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Siutea ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu: he naʻa mou kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻi he kakai ʻi homou fonua foki, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ʻi he kakai Siu:
Kua whai na hoki koutou, e oku teina, i te tauria a nga hahi a te Atua i Huria i roto i a Karaiti Ihu: ko o koutou matenga hoki i nga tangata o to koutou ake iwi kua rite ki o era matenga i nga Hurai;
15 ʻAkinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu, mo honau kau palōfita foki, pea kuo nau fakatangaʻi ʻakimautolu; pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau lelei ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku nau fai kehe mo e kakai kotoa pē:
Na ratou hoki i whakamate te Ariki, a Ihu, me nga poropiti, a i pana matou ki waho; kahore a ratou whakamanawareka ki te Atua, a he hoariri ratou no nga tangata katoa.
16 ʻOku nau taʻofi ʻemau lea ki he ngaahi Senitaile koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui, ko e meʻa ke fakakakato ai ʻenau ngaahi angahala: he kuo hoko hono lahi ʻoe houhau kiate kinautolu.
E arai mai ana i a matou kei korero ki nga tauiwi kia ora ai, he mea tenei e tutuki ai o ratou hara i nga wa katoa; otira ka whakapaua rawatia te riri ki a ratou.
17 Ka ko kimautolu, ʻe kāinga, kuo mavahe meiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga siʻi ʻi he sino, kae ʻikai ʻi he loto, kuo lahi hake ʻaupito ai ʻemau ʻahiʻahi mo holi lahi ke mamata ki homou mata.
Ko matou ia, e oku teina, he iti nei te wahi kua wehea mai nei matou i a koutou, ko nga tinana, kahore te ngakau, hira rawa to matou takare kia kite i to koutou kanohi, nui atu te hiahia.
18 Ko ia naʻa mau fie ʻalu atu ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻio, ko au Paula, ʻo liunga taha mo liunga ua; ka naʻe taʻofi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sētane.
No reira, i te whai kia tae atu ki a koutou, ko ahau, ko Paora, i tuatahi, a i tuarua; heoi na Hatana matou i whakaware.
19 He ko e hā ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei, pe fiefia, pe ko e polepole ʻoe fiefia? ʻIkai ko kimoutolu foki ʻi he ʻao ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ʻi heʻene hāʻele mai?
He aha hoki ta matou e tumanako atu ai, e hari ai, he aha oti te karauna e whakamanamana ai matou? He teka ianei ko koutou i te aroaro o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, a tona taenga mai?
20 He ko homau vikivikiʻanga ʻakimoutolu mo ʻemau fiefia.
Ko koutou hoki to matou kororia, to matou hari.
