Maori Bible
1 Na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, mo te ora i whakaaria mai i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,
2 Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti aroha: Kia tau te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.
3 E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, e mahi atu nei ahau ki a ia, he mea no oku tupuna iho i runga i te hinengaro ma, no te mea kahore e mutu toku mahara ki a koe i aku inoinga i te po, i te ao;
4 Nui atu toku hiahia kia kite i a koe, i ahau e mahara ana ki ou roimata, kia ki ai ahau i te hari;
5 Ka hoki ake nei toku mahara ki te whakapono tinihangakore i roto i a koe; i noho tuatahi ra i roto i tou tupuna wahine, i a Roihi, i tou whaea hoki, i a Unihi; a e tino mohio ana ahau kei roto ano i a koe.
6 Koia ahau ka whakamahara nei i a koe, kia whakaungia ano te ahi, te mea i hoatu na e te Atua, tena kei roto i a koe, he mea na te whakapanga atu o oku ringaringa.
7 Kahore hoki i homai e te Atua ki a tatou te wairua o te wehi; engari to te kaha, to te aroha, to te ngakau mahara.
8 Na, kei whakama koe ki te whakaatu i to tatou Ariki, ki ahau ranei, kia tona herehere: engari uru atu koe ki nga mate o te rongopai, kia rite ki ta te Atua whakakahanga;
9 Nana nei tatou i whakaora, nana hoki tatou i karanga ki te karangatanga tapu; kihai i rite ki a tatou mahi, engari ki tana ake tikanga i whakatakoto ai i mua, ki te aroha noa hoki i homai nei ki a tatou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, i mua atu o te tima tanga o te ao;
10 A kua whakakitea mai nei inaianei i te putanga nui mai o to tatou Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu karaiti, i whakakahore nei i te mate, a whakakitea mai ana e ia te ora me te matengakore, he mea na te rongopai:
11 Meinga iho nei ahau hei kaikauwhau mo tenei, hei apotoro, hei kaiwhakaako.
12 Ko te mea hoki tenei i pangia ai ahau e enei mate: he ahakoa ra kahore ahau e whakama: e matau ana hoki ahau ki taku i whakapono ai, e u ana toku whakaaro e taea e ia te tiaki taku i tuku atu ai ki a ia, a taea noatia taua ra.
13 Kia mau ki te tauira mo nga kupu tika i rongo ra koe ki ahau, puritia i runga i te whakapono, i te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
14 Ko te mea pai i tukua ra ki a koe, me tiaki e koe, ara e te Wairua Tapu e noho ana i roto i a tatou.
15 E matau ana ko tenei, i tahuri ke i ahau te hunga katoa i Ahia; no ratou a Paikeru raua ko Heremokeni.
16 Kia tohungia e te Ariki nga tangata o te whare o Onehipora; he maha hoki oku oranga ngakau i a ia, kihai hoki ia i whakama ki toku mekameka.
17 A, i a ia i Roma, i rapu marietia ahau e ia, a kitea ana.
18 Ma te Ariki e tuku ki a ia kia kite i te mahi tohu a te Ariki a taua ra: ko ana mahinga mea hoki maku i Epeha. erangi koe e mohio ana.
2 Na, ko koe, e taku tamaiti, kia kaha i runga i te aroha noa i roto i a Ihu.
2 Ko nga mea hoki i rongo ra koe ki ahau i nga kaiwhakaatu tokomaha, tukua ena ki etahi tangata pono, e pai ana hei whakaako ki era atu hoki.
3 Tukua atu nga mamae ki a koe, kia rite ki te hoia pai a Ihu Karaiti.
4 Ki te whakahoia tetahi tangata, e kore ia e whakararurarutia e nga mea o te ao; kia ahuareka ai ki a ia te kaiwhakatu i a ia hei hoia.
5 Ki te whakataetae ano tetahi e kore ia e karaunatia, ki te kore e rite ki te tikanga tana whakataetae.
6 Ko te tikanga tenei, ko te kaingaki e mahi ana kia kai wawe i nga hua.
7 Whakaaroa aku e korero nei; a ma te Ariki e homai ki a koe he ngakau mahara i nga mea katoa.
8 Kia mahara ki a Ihu Karaiti, i whakaarahia nei i te hunga mate, he uri no Rawiri, e ai ki taku rongopai:
9 Ko te mea ano ia i pangia ai ahau e nga mamae, a hereherea noatia iho, ano he tangata mahi kino; otira e kore ta te Atua kupu e herea.
10 Koia hoki ahau i whakaririka kau ai ki nga mea katoa he mea mo te hunga whiriwhiri; kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te ora i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ki te kororia mutungakore ano hoki.
11 E pono ana hoki te korero, Ki te mate tahi tatou me ia, ka ora tahi ano hoki tatou me ia.
12 Ki te manawanui tatou, ka whakakingitia ngatahitia tatou me ia: ki te whakakahore tatou, ka whakakahoretia hoki tatou e ia:
13 Ki te kore tatou e whakapono, e mau ana ano tona pono: e kore e ahei kia whakakahore ia i a ia ano.
14 Whakamaharatia ratou ki enei mea, me kauwhau i te aroaro o te Ariki, kia kaua e tautohetohe ki nga kupu huakore, ki nga mea whakaputa ke i nga kaiwhakarongo.
15 Kia puta tau tohe mou kia tu ki te aroaro o te Atua, he mea e manakohia ana, he kaimahi e kore e whakama, e whawha tika ana i te kupu o te pono.
16 Mawehe ki i nga korero whakarihariha, teka noa: ka neke ake hoki te karakia kore o era:
17 A ka kaikai ta ratou kupu, ano he mea kua kikohangatia: no ratou a Himeniu raua ko Piritu;
18 Kua he nei ki te pono, e mea ana, kua pahemo ke te aranga mai; a whakaputaia ketia ake e ratou te whakapono o etahi.
19 E u ana ia te mau o ta te Atua turanga, ko tona hiri hoki tenei, E matau ana te Ariki ki ana ake: me tenei hoki, Kia mawehe ke i te he nga tangata katoa e whakahua ana i te ingoa o te Karaiti.
20 Otiia i te whare nui ehara i te mea he koura kau, he hiriwa kau ranei nga oko, tera ano etahi he mea rakau, he mea oneone; etahi hei mea honore, etahi hei mea honorekore.
21 Na, ki te mea te tangata i a ia kia ma i ena mea, hei oko ia mo te honore, kua oti te whakatapu, te whakapai mo a te rangatira tikanga, rite rawa mo nga mahi pai katoa.
22 Oma atu i nga hiahia taitamariki: whaia te tika, te whakapono, te aroha, te rangimarie, e koutou tahi ko te hunga e karanga ana ki te Ariki i roto i te ngakau ma.
23 Araia atu ano nga uiuinga wairangi, kuware, kia mahara hoki ko aua mea hei whakatupu whawhai.
24 Na e kore e pai kia ririhau te pononga a te Ariki; engari kia ngawari ki nga tangata katoa, kia whai ngakau ki te whakaako, kia manawanui.
25 Kia whakaako marie i te hunga e totohe ana; me kore e hoatu e te Atua ki a ratou he ripeneta e whakaae ai ki te pono;
26 Kia ara ake ai hoki i roto i te mahanga a te rewera te hunga i hopukia oratia e te pononga a te Ariki hei mahi i ta te Atua i pai ai.
3 Kia matau koe ki tenei, ko a nga ra o te whakamutunga puta mai ai nga wa o te he.
2 E aroha hoki nga tangata ki a ratou ano, e aroha ki te moni, e whakapehapeha, e whakakake, e kohukohu, e tutu ki nga matua, kahore he whakawhetai, kahore he tapu,
3 Kahore he aroha, he upoko maro, he ngautuara, e kore e pehi i te ngakau, he hunga nanakia, kahore e aroha ki te pai,
4 He hunga taku tangata, he hunga hikaka, whakakake, to ratou aroha kei nga mahi takaro kahore ia ki te Atua;
5 Ko te ahua o te karakia kei a ratou, tona kaha ia whakakahoretia iho: tahuri ke koe i nga tangata pera.
6 No ratou hoki te hunga e kuhu nei ki nga whare, a riro parau ana i a ratou nga wahine heahea, e taimaha nei i te hara, he mea kawhaki na nga hiahia maha,
7 E ako tonu ana, heoi kahore rawa kia tae ki te matauranga o te pono.
8 E rite ana ki a Hani raua ko Hamapiri i totohe ki a Mohi; waihoki ko enei tangata e totohe ana ki te pono: he hunga kua kino ke te hinengaro, he rukenga atu i roto i te whakapono.
9 Heoi e kore ratou e kake haere: ka kitea hoki to ratou kuwaretanga e te katoa, ka pera hoki me to raua.
10 Otira kua mau na i a koe taku whakaako, taku whakahaere, toku whakaaro whakatakoto, toku whakapono, toku puhoi ki te riri, toku aroha, toku manawanui,
11 Oku whakatoinga, oku matenga i mate ai ahau i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma, i Raihitara; nga whakatoinga i whakatoia ai ahau: heoi whakaorangia ake ahau e te Ariki i roto i te katoa.
12 A e whakatoia ano te hunga katoa e hiahia ana kia noho i runga i te karakia i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
13 Ko te hunga kino ia, me te hunga maminga, ka kake haere te kino, ka tinihanga, a ka tinihangatia.
14 Tena ko koe kia mau ki nga mea i ako ra koe, i whakaaetia ra e koe, e matau na hoki koe ki tou kaiwhakaako ki ena mea:
15 Ki a koe ano i mohio o tou tamarikitanga ake, ki nga karaipiture tapu, ko nga mea era e whai matauranga ai koe, e ora ai, i runga i te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu.
16 No te ha o te Atua nga karaipiture katoa, he pai hoki hei whakaako, hei riri i te he, hei whakatikatika, hei whakaako ki te tika;
17 Kia tino rite ai te tangata a te Atua, rite rawa mo nga mahi pai katoa.
4 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 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 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 Ka tahuri ke o ratou taringa i te pono, ka anga atu ki nga korero tito noa.
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.
6 Tenei hoki ahau kei te ringihia, kua rite ano te wa hei haerenga moku.
7 Kua whawhaitia e ahau te whawhai pai, kua omakia toku omanga, kua rite i ahau te whakapono:
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.
9 Kia puta tou uaua ki te haere wawe mai ki ahau:
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.
11 Ko Ruka anake kei ahau. Tena a Maka mauria mai hei hoa mou; he pai hoki ia mo taku mahi minita.
12 Kua tonoa e ahau a Tikiku ki Epeha.
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.
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:
15 Kia tupato hoki koe ki a ia; he rahi rawa hoki tana totohe ki a matou kupu.
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.
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.
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.
19 Oha atu ki a Pirihira raua ko Akuira, ki te hunga ano hoki o te whare o Onehipora.
20 I noho atu a Eratu i Koriniti: ko Toropimu i mahue atu i ahau ki Miretu, he mate.
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.
22 Kia noho te Ariki ki tou wairua, Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou.
2 Timothy 1-4
New International Version
2 Timothy 1-4
New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,(C)
2 To Timothy,(D) my dear son:(E)
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.(F)
Thanksgiving
3 I thank God,(G) whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience,(H) as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.(I) 4 Recalling your tears,(J) I long to see you,(K) so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith,(L) which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice(M) and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
Appeal for Loyalty to Paul and the Gospel
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.(N) 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,(O) but gives us power,(P) love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed(Q) of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.(R) Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel,(S) by the power of God. 9 He has saved(T) us and called(U) us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done(V) but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed(W) through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,(X) who has destroyed death(Y) and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel(Z) I was appointed(AA) a herald and an apostle and a teacher.(AB) 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame,(AC) because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard(AD) what I have entrusted to him until that day.(AE)
13 What you heard from me,(AF) keep(AG) as the pattern(AH) of sound teaching,(AI) with faith and love in Christ Jesus.(AJ) 14 Guard(AK) the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.(AL)
Examples of Disloyalty and Loyalty
15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia(AM) has deserted me,(AN) including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus,(AO) because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed(AP) of my chains.(AQ) 17 On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me. 18 May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day!(AR) You know very well in how many ways he helped me(AS) in Ephesus.(AT)
The Appeal Renewed
2 You then, my son,(AU) be strong(AV) in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say(AW) in the presence of many witnesses(AX) entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering,(AY) like a good soldier(AZ) of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown(BA) except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.(BB) 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,(BC) descended from David.(BD) This is my gospel,(BE) 9 for which I am suffering(BF) even to the point of being chained(BG) like a criminal. But God’s word(BH) is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything(BI) for the sake of the elect,(BJ) that they too may obtain the salvation(BK) that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.(BL)
11 Here is a trustworthy saying:(BM)
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;(BN)
12 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.(BO)
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;(BP)
13 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,(BQ)
for he cannot disown himself.
Dealing With False Teachers
14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words;(BR) it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.(BS) 16 Avoid godless chatter,(BT) because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus(BU) and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place,(BV) and they destroy the faith of some.(BW) 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm,(BX) sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,”(BY) and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord(BZ) must turn away from wickedness.”
20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use.(CA) 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.(CB)
22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love(CC) and peace, along with those who call on the Lord(CD) out of a pure heart.(CE) 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.(CF) 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.(CG) 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,(CH) 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil,(CI) who has taken them captive to do his will.
3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.(CJ) 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,(CK) boastful, proud,(CL) abusive,(CM) disobedient to their parents,(CN) ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous,(CO) rash, conceited,(CP) lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness(CQ) but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.(CR)
6 They are the kind who worm their way(CS) into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.(CT) 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,(CU) so also these teachers oppose(CV) the truth. They are men of depraved minds,(CW) who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men,(CX) their folly will be clear to everyone.
A Final Charge to Timothy
10 You, however, know all about my teaching,(CY) my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch,(CZ) Iconium(DA) and Lystra,(DB) the persecutions I endured.(DC) Yet the Lord rescued(DD) me from all of them.(DE) 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,(DF) 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse,(DG) deceiving and being deceived.(DH) 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,(DI) 15 and how from infancy(DJ) you have known the Holy Scriptures,(DK) which are able to make you wise(DL) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed(DM) and is useful for teaching,(DN) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(DO) 17 so that the servant of God[a](DP) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(DQ)
4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead,(DR) and in view of his appearing(DS) and his kingdom, I give you this charge:(DT) 2 Preach(DU) the word;(DV) be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke(DW) and encourage(DX)—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.(DY) Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.(DZ) 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.(EA) 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship,(EB) do the work of an evangelist,(EC) discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering,(ED) and the time for my departure is near.(EE) 7 I have fought the good fight,(EF) I have finished the race,(EG) I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me(EH) the crown of righteousness,(EI) which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day(EJ)—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.(EK)
Personal Remarks
9 Do your best to come to me quickly,(EL) 10 for Demas,(EM) because he loved this world,(EN) has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica.(EO) Crescens has gone to Galatia,(EP) and Titus(EQ) to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke(ER) is with me.(ES) Get Mark(ET) and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 12 I sent Tychicus(EU) to Ephesus.(EV) 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas,(EW) and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander(EX) the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done.(EY) 15 You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.
16 At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.(EZ) 17 But the Lord stood at my side(FA) and gave me strength,(FB) so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it.(FC) And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.(FD) 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack(FE) and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.(FF) To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(FG)
Final Greetings
19 Greet Priscilla[b] and Aquila(FH) and the household of Onesiphorus.(FI) 20 Erastus(FJ) stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus(FK) sick in Miletus.(FL) 21 Do your best to get here before winter.(FM) Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers and sisters.[c]
22 The Lord be with your spirit.(FN) Grace be with you all.(FO)
