1 T his third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

Hei tuatoru tenei mo oku haerenga atu ki a koutou. Ma te mangai o nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei, ka u ai nga kupu katoa.

2 I have said before, and I say before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

Kua korero ano ahau i mua, ka korero ano inaianei, pera i te tuarua o oku wa i kona, a i ahau e ngaro mai nei, ki te hunga i hara i mua, ki era katoa ano hoki, na, ki te tae atu ano ahau, e kore e tohungia e ahau;

3 s ince a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

E rapu tohu na hoki koutou o te Karaiti e korero ana i roto i ahau; kahore nei ia e ngoikore ki a koutou, engari e kaha ana i roto i a koutou:

4 f or even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

I ripekatia hoki ia i te mea e ngoikore ana, otiia kei te ora ia, na te kaha o te Atua. He ngoikore hoki matou i roto i a ia, heoi ka ora tahi ano me ia, he meatanga na te kaha o te Atua ki a koutou.

5 Y our ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

Whakamatauria iho koutou ano, mehemea ranei koutou kei roto i te whakapono; tirohia iho o koutou tohu e koutou ano. Tena ranei kahore koutou e matau ana ki a koutou ano, kei roto i a koutou a Ihu Karaiti? ki te mea ia ehara koutou i te mea akiri.

6 a nd I hope that ye shall know that we -- we are not disapproved of;

Otira e u ana toku whakaaro, e matau ana ano koutou, ehara matou i te mea akiri.

7 a nd I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

Na, ko ta matou inoi tenei ki te Atua, kia kaua koutou e mea i tetahi kino; ehara i te mea mo matou kia kitea e paingia ana, engari mo koutou kia mahi i te pai, ahakoa ko matou hei mea akiri.

8 f or we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

E kore hoki e taea e matou tetahi mea e he ai te pono, engari te mea e u ai te pono.

9 f or we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!

E hari ana hoki matou ina ngoikore matou, ina kaha koutou: ko ta matou hoki tenei e inoi nei, ko koutou kia tino tika.

10 b ecause of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

Koia ahau ka tuhituhi atu nei i enei mea, i ahau e ngaro mai nei, kei tae atu ahau ki kona, ka koi taku i runga i te mana kua tukua mai nei e te Ariki ki ahau hei hanga mo te whare, ehara i te mea hei wahi.

11 H enceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

Kati ra, e oku teina, hei kona. Kia tino tika; kia marie te ngakau; kia kotahi te whakaaro; kia mau te rongo: a tera te Atua o te aroha, o te maunga rongo, e noho ki a koutou.

12 s alute one another in an holy kiss;

Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi tapu ano.

13 s alute you do all the saints;

Tenei te hunga tapu katoa te oha atu nei ki a koutou.

14 t he grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, with you all! Amen.

Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te atawhai o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, me te aroha o te Atua, me te whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua Tapu. Amine.
