Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:
1Ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia te ne fakamaau ʻae moʻui mo e mate ʻi heʻene fakahā mai mo hono puleʻanga;
2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.
2Ke ke malangaʻaki ʻae folofola; faʻa fai ʻi he faingamālie, mo e taʻehafaingamālie; valoki, mo fakatonutonu, mo enginaki, ʻi he anga faʻa kātaki kotoa pē mo e akonaki
3For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
3Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae kuonga ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kātaki ai ʻae akonaki totonu; ka ʻi he ʻiate kinautolu ʻae telinga veli, te nau fakatokolahi maʻanautolu ʻae kau akonaki ʻo tatau mo ʻenau holi.
4So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
4Pea te nau fakatafoki honau telinga mei he moʻoni, pea tuli tāupau ki he meʻa loi.
5But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
5Ka ke leʻo pe ʻa koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mamahi, fai ʻae ngaue ʻoe ʻevangeliō, fai ke kakato hoʻo ngaue fakafaifekau.
6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.
6He ʻoku ou tali pe ki hoku lilingi, pea ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo hoku tukuange.
7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
7Kuo u tau ʻae tau lelei, kuo u lavaʻi ʻae fakapuepue, kuo u tauhi maʻu ʻae tui:
8From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.
8Ngata ai, kuo hilifaki moʻoku ʻae pale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻe foaki mai kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe he ʻEiki, ko e Fakamaau māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻikai kiate au pe, ka kiate kinautolu kotoa pē foki ʻoku ʻofa ki hono fakahā mai.
9Make every effort to come to me quickly,
9Ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke haʻu vave kiate au:
10because Demas, in his love of this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
10He kuo siʻaki au ʻe Temasi; kuo ʻofa ia ki he māmani, pea kuo ʻalu ia ki Tesalonika; ko Kilisini ki Kalētia, mo Taitusi ki Talemetia.
11Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is useful to me in the ministry.
11Ko Luke pe ʻoku ʻiate au. Haʻu mo Maʻake, pea mo omi fakataha: he ʻoku ʻaonga ia kiate au ʻi he ngaue fakafaifekau.
12Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.
12Pea kuo u fekau ʻa Tikiko ki ʻEfesō.
13When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
13ʻOmi ʻae kofu naʻaku tuku mo Kaposi ʻi Taloasi, ʻoka ke ka haʻu, mo e ngaahi tohi, kae tokanga lahi ki he ngaahi tohi kiliʻi manu.
14Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
14Naʻe fai kovi lahi kiate au ʻe ʻAlekisānita, ko e tufunga ngaohi meʻa kapa: ʻe totongi ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngaahi ngaue:
15You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.
15ʻAia ke ke vakai ki ai foki, he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻene fakatanga ki heʻetau lea.
16At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.
16ʻI heʻeku fuofua fakamatala, naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tuʻu mo au, ka naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē au: ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa lau ia kiate kinautolu.
17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.
17Ka naʻe tuʻu mo au ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo ne fakamālohiʻi au; koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻiate au ʻae malanga, pea ke fanongo ki ai ʻae Senitaile kotoa pē: pea naʻe fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione.
18And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
18Pea ʻe fakahaofi au ʻe he ʻEiki mei he ngaue kovi kotoa pē, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻo aʻu ki hono puleʻanga ʻi he langi: ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
19Greet Prisca and Aquila, as well as the household of Onesiphorus.
19Tala ʻeku ʻofa kia Pisila mo ʻAkuila, mo e fale ʻo ʻOnesifolo.
20Erastus has remained at Corinth, and Trophimus I left sick in Miletus.
20Naʻe nofo ʻa Elasito ʻi Kolinitō: ka naʻaku tuku ʻa Talofimo ʻi Mileto ʻoku mahaki.
21Make every effort to come to me before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
21Ke ke ʻahiʻahi ke haʻu ʻi he teʻeki hokosia ʻae faʻahitaʻu momoko. ʻOku ʻofa atu kiate koe ʻa Iupulo, mo Piutena, mo Laino, mo Kalotia, mo e kāinga kotoa pē.
22The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
22Ke ʻi ho laumālie ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
