1Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he fekau ʻae ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko hotau ʻamanaki leleiʻanga;
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope:
2Ko e ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, mo Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki; kia Timote, ko hoku foha moʻoni ʻi he tui.
2To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3ʻO hangē ko ʻeku kole kiate koe ke ke nofo pe ʻi ʻEfesō, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki Masitōnia, koeʻuhi ke ke fekaua ʻae niʻihi ke ʻoua te nau ako ʻaki ha akonaki kehe,
3As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,
4Ke ʻoua foki ʻe tokanga ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa mo e hohoko taʻetuku, ʻaia ʻoku langa ai ʻae fakakikihi, kae ʻikai ko e felangaʻaki hake fakaʻotua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he tui.
4Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.
5Pea ko eni, ko hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fekau, ko e ʻofa mei he loto maʻa, mo e ʻatamai lelei, mo e tui taʻemalualoi:
5Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.
6ʻAia kuo afe mei ai ʻae niʻihi, pea kuo nau he ki he ngaahi launoa;
6From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:
7ʻO holi ke hoko ko e kau akonaki ʻi he fono; ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku nau lau, pe ko ia ʻoku nau lea fakapapau ki ai.
7Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8Ka ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku lelei ʻae fono, ʻo kapau ʻoku ngaue ʻaonga ʻaki ia ʻe he tangata;
8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully:
9ʻO ʻilo eni, naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae fono ki he tangata māʻoniʻoni, ka ki he kau liʻaki fono, mo e talangataʻa, mo e taʻelotu, mo e kau angahala, ki he taʻemaʻa, mo e manuki, ki he kau tāmateʻi ʻoe tamai mo e tāmateʻi ʻoe faʻē, mo e kau tāmateʻi ʻoe tangata,
9Knowing this, that the law is not made for the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10Ki he kau feʻauaki, kiate kinautolu ʻoku fefakaʻuliʻaki ʻakinautolu mo e kakai, ki he kau kaihaʻa tangata, ki he kau loi, ki he kau fuakava loi, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu kehe mo e akonaki totonu;
10For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,
11ʻO fakatatau mo e ongoongolelei nāunauʻia ʻoe ʻOtua monūʻia, ʻaia naʻe tuku mai ke u tauhi ia.
11Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.
12Pea ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo ne fakamālohiʻi au, ʻi heʻene lau au ko e angatonu, ʻo ne fakahoko au ki he ngaue;
12I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;
13A au naʻaku lauʻikoviʻi ia ʻi muʻa, mo fakatangaʻi, mo fai kovi: ka naʻaku maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, he naʻaku taʻetui ko e fai ʻi he taʻeʻilo.
13Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14Pea naʻe lahi hake ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki, ʻi he tui mo e ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
14Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
15Ko e tala moʻoni eni, pea ʻoku taau mo e kakai kotoa pē ke maʻu ia, naʻe hāʻele ʻa Kalaisi Sisu ki māmani ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai angahala; pea ko hono fungani au.
15A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
16Ka koe meʻa ni naʻaku maʻu ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa, koeʻuhi ke fakahā atu ʻe Sisu Kalaisi ʻiate au, ko e fungani, ʻae kātaki ʻofa kotoa pē, pea ke u hoko ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu ʻe tui kiate ia ʻamui ki he moʻui taʻengata.
16But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting.
17Pea ko eni, ke ʻi he Tuʻi ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa, mo taʻemate, mo taʻehāmai, ki he ʻOtua poto taha pe, ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
17Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18E foha ko Timote, ʻoku ou tuku atu ʻae fekau ni kiate koe, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi kikite ʻi muʻa naʻe kau kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ke faʻa fai mei ai ʻae tau lelei:
18This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare,
19ʻO puke maʻu ʻae tui, mo e ʻatamai lelei; ʻaia kuo siʻaki ʻe he niʻihi, pea ko ʻenau tui kuo tūkia ʻo mate:
19Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
20ʻAia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAiminia mo ʻAlekisānita; kuo u tukuange ʻakinaua kia Sētane, ke na ʻilo ke ʻoua te na lauʻikovi.
20Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
