2 Kolinitō 2

1 Ka naʻe pau hoku loto ki he meʻa ni, ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he mamahi.

Bvt I determined thus in my selfe, that I would not come againe to you in heauinesse.

2 He kapau ʻoku ou fakamamahiʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea ko hai ia ʻoku ne fakafiefiaʻi au, ka ko ia kuo fakamamahiʻi ʻiate au?

For if I make you sorie, who is he then that shoulde make me glad, but ye same which is made sorie by me?

3 Ko ia ne u tohi ai ʻae meʻa ko ia kiate kimoutolu, telia naʻa ʻi heʻeku hoko atu, teu mamahi meiate kinautolu ʻoku totonu ke u fiefia ai; pea ʻoku ou falala kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, ko ʻeku fiefia ko e fiefia ia ʻo kimoutolu kotoa pē.

And I wrote this same thing vnto you, lest when I came, I should take heauines of them, of whom I ought to reioyce: this confidence haue I in you all, that my ioye is the ioye of you all.

4 He ne u tohi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he mamahi lahi mo e feinga loto mo e loʻimata lahi: ka naʻe ʻikai ke mou mamahi ai, ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ʻo lahi ʻaupito kiate kimoutolu.

For in great affliction, and anguish of heart I wrote vnto you with many teares: not that yee should be made sorie, but that ye might perceiue the loue which I haue, specially vnto you.

5 Pea kapau kuo fai fakamamahi ʻe ha taha, ʻoku ʻikai teu mamahi au, kae ʻi he niʻihi pe: ke ʻoua naʻaku fakamāfasia ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.

And if any hath caused sorowe, the same hath not made mee sorie, but partly (lest I should more charge him) you all.

6 Pea kuo lahi ki he tokotaha ko ia ʻa ʻetau tautea ni, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe he tokolahi.

It is sufficient vnto the same man, that hee was rebuked of many.

7 Ko ia ke ʻoua, ka mou fakamolemole muʻa, pea fakafiemālieʻi ia, telia naʻa fōngia hifo ʻae tokotaha ko ia ʻi he mamahi lahi.

So that nowe contrariwise yee ought rather to forgiue him, and comfort him, lest the same shoulde bee swalowed vp with ouermuch heauinesse.

8 Ko ia ʻoku ou kole atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻofa kiate ia.

Wherefore, I pray you, that you woulde confirme your loue towards him.

9 He ko e meʻa ko ia naʻaku tohi ai foki, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai ha fakaʻilonga kiate kimoutolu, pe ʻoku mou talangofua ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.

For this cause also did I write, that I might knowe the proofe of you, whether yee would be obedient in all things.

10 Ko ia ʻoku mou fakamolemole ha meʻa ki ai, ʻoku ou [fakamolemolea ]foki: pea ko ia kuo u fakamolemolea, ʻo kapau ne u fakamolemolea ha meʻa, [naʻaku fai ]ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Kalaisi;

To whome yee forgiue any thing, I forgiue also: for verely if I forgaue any thing, to whome I forgaue it, for your sakes forgaue I it in the sight of Christ,

11 Telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe Sētane: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau vale ki heʻene ngaahi filioʻi.

Lest Satan should circumuent vs: for we are not ignorant of his enterprises.

12 Ka ʻi heʻeku hoko atu ki Taloasi, ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi, pea fakaava ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae matapā kiate au,

Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christs Gospell, and a doore was opened vnto me of the Lord,

13 Naʻe ʻikai ha fiemālie ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai teu feʻiloaki mo hoku tokoua ko Taitusi: pea hili ʻemau māvae mo kinautolu, peau ʻalu mei ai ki Masitōnia.

I had no rest in my spirit, because I founde not Titus my brother, but tooke my leaue of them, and went away into Macedonia.

14 Pea ko eni, fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke mau faʻa ikuna ʻia Kalaisi, pea ʻoku ne fofola atu ʻae ngangatu ʻo ʻene ʻilo ʻiate kimautolu ʻi he potu kotoa pē.

Now thankes be vnto God, which alwaies maketh vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place.

15 He ko e ngangatu lelei ʻo Kalaisi ʻakimautolu ki he ʻOtua, ʻiate kinautolu kuo fakamoʻui, pea ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fakaʻauha:

For wee are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them which perish.

16 Ko e nanamu ʻoe mate ki he mate ki he niʻihi; pea ki he niʻihi ko e nanamu ʻoe moʻui ki he moʻui. Pea ko hai ʻoku taau mo e ngaahi meʻa ni?

To the one we are the sauour of death, vnto death, and to the other the sauour of life, vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things?

17 He ʻoku ʻikai te mau hangē ko e tokolahi, ʻoku fai kākā ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua: ka ʻi he moʻoni, ka ʻi he ʻOtua, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku mau lea kia Kalaisi.

For wee are not as many, which make marchandise of the woorde of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God in ye sight of God speake we in Christ.
