1 I charge thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

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,

2 p reach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

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

3 F or the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

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.

4 a nd will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

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

5 B ut be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.

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.

6 F or I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come.

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

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:

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

8 h enceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.

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.

9 G ive diligence to come shortly unto me:

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

10 f or Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

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.

11 O nly Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is useful to me for ministering.

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

12 B ut Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

Kua tonoa e ahau a Tikiku ki Epeha.

13 T he cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.

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.

14 A lexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:

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:

15 o f whom do thou also beware; for he greatly withstood our words.

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

16 A t my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.

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.

17 B ut the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might me fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

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.

18 T he Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

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.

19 S alute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

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

20 E rastus remained at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.

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

21 G ive diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

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.

22 T he Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.

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