King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
1Ko ia, ko hoku foha, ke ke mālohi koe ʻi he ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
2And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo ke fanongo ʻiate au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni tokolahi, ke ke tuku ia ki he kau tangata angatonu, ke nau faʻa fai ke akonekina foki ʻae niʻihi.
3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
3Ko ia ke ke faʻa kātaki ʻae ngaue faingataʻa, ʻo taau mo e tangata tau lelei ʻa Sisu Kalaisi.
4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
4ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku ne fai ʻa ʻetau pea ne fakaʻefihia ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni; kaekehe ke fakafiemālie kiate ia kuo fili ia ko e tangata tau.
5And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
5Pea kapau ʻoku feinga ʻe ha tokotaha ke ne ikuna, ʻoku ʻikai fakapale ia, kae ʻi heʻene feinga totonu.
6The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
6Pea ʻoku taau mo e tangata tauhi ngoue ke tomuʻa fai ʻae ngaue ʻi heʻene kai hono fua.
7Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
7Tokanga ki heʻeku lea; pea ʻofa ke tuku kiate koe ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ʻilo ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
8Manatu kia Sisu Kalaisi ko e hako ʻo Tevita, naʻe fokotuʻu hake ia mei he mate, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku ongoongolelei:
9Where in I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
9ʻAia ʻoku ou mamahi ai ʻo hangē ha fai kovi, pea kuo haʻisia au; ka ʻoku ʻikai haʻisia ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
10Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
10Ko ia ʻoku ou faʻa kātaki ai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu kuo fili, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu foki ʻae fakamoʻui ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu mo e hakeakiʻi taʻengata.
11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him , we shall also live with him :
11Ko e tala moʻoni eni: “He kapau kuo tau mate mo ia, te tau moʻui foki mo ia:
12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him , he also will deny us:
12Kapau ʻoku tau faʻa kātaki, te tau pule foki mo ia: kapau te tau liʻaki ia, te ne liʻaki ʻakitautolu foki:
13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he can not deny himself.
13Kapau ʻoku tau taʻetui, ka ʻoku moʻoni pehē ai pe ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fakaʻikaiʻi ia.”
14Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
14Fakamanatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo fekau kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakakikihi ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga, ka ko e fakahēʻi ʻoe kau fanongo ki ai.
15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
15Ke ke feinga ke fakahā koe ʻoku ke lelei ki he ʻOtua, ko e tangata ngaue ʻoku ʻikai ke mā, kae vahevahe totonu atu ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni.
16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
16Ka ke siʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea papūnoa mo e kovi: koeʻuhi ʻe tupu pea ʻāsili ai ʻae anga fakataʻelotu.
17And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
17Pea ʻe keina ʻenau lea ʻo hangē ko e popo: pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAiminia mo Failito;
18Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
18ʻAkinaua kuo na hē mei he moʻoni, ʻo na pehē kuo hili ange ʻae toetuʻu; pea kuo na fulihi ʻae tui ʻae niʻihi.
19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
19Ka ʻoku tuʻumaʻu pe ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻilonga ni, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻana;” pea, “Ke ʻilonga ia ʻoku ne huaʻaki ʻae huafa ʻo Kalaisi, ke afe ia mei he angahia.”
20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
20Ka ʻi he fale lahi ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata ʻi he ngaahi ipu koula mo siliva pe, ka ʻoku ʻi ai mo e ipu ʻakau mo e ʻumea; ko e niʻihi ke ʻaonga lahi, mo e niʻihi ke ʻaonga siʻi pe.
21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
21Ko ia kapau ʻe fakamaʻa ia ʻe ha tangata mei he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe hoko ai ia ko e ipu ke ʻaonga lahi, kuo fakatapuʻi, pea taau mo e ʻeiki ke ngāueʻaki kuo teuteu ki he ngaue lelei kotoa pe.
22Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
22Ke ke puna foki mei he ngaahi holi fakatalavou: ka ke tuli ki he māʻoniʻoni, mo e angatonu, mo e ʻofa, mo e melino, kiate kinautolu ʻoku ui ki he ʻEiki ʻi he lotomaʻa.
23But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
23Ka ke liʻaki ʻae ngaahi fehuʻi vale mo launoa, ʻi hoʻo ʻilo ʻoku tupu ai ʻae fakakikihi.
24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men , apt to teach, patient,
24Pea ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke fakakikihi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻEiki; ka ke angavaivai ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo faʻa ako, mo faʻa kātaki,
25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
25ʻO akonekina ʻi he angamalū ʻakinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu; heiʻilo ʻe foaki ai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatomala ke nau tui ki he moʻoni;
26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
26Pea nau fakahaofia ʻakinautolu mei he tauhele ʻae tēvolo, ʻakinautolu kuo ne moʻua ʻo fakapōpulaʻi ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe.
