1Ko hono liunga tolu eni ʻo ʻeku ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu. “ʻI he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua pe toko tolu ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kotoa pē.”
1Behold, this is the third time I am coming to you: In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.
2Kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala peau sinaki tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē kuo u ʻi ai, ko hono liunga ua; pea ʻi heʻeku mamaʻo ni, ʻoku ou tohi atu kiate kinautolu naʻe fai angahala ʻi muʻa, pea mo hono toe kotoa pē, kapau te u toe ʻalu atu, ʻe ʻikai te u fakasiʻisiʻi:
2I have told before, and foretell, as present, and now absent, to them that sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.
3Koeʻuhi ʻoku mou kumi ʻae fakamoʻoni ki he lea ʻa Kalaisi ʻiate au, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai vaivai kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku mālohi ʻiate kimoutolu.
3Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you?
4He neongo naʻe tutuki ia ki he ʻakau ko e meʻa ʻi he vaivai, ka ʻoku moʻui ia ʻi he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua. He ʻoku mau vaivai foki mo ia, ka temau moʻui mo ia ʻi he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
4For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you.
5ʻEke kiate kimoutolu, pe ʻoku mou ʻi he tui; ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu. ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo kapau kuo ʻikai ʻahiʻahiʻi mo siʻaki ʻakimoutolu?
5Try your own selves if you be in the faith; prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?
6Ka ʻoku ʻamusiaange ʻe au te mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau siʻaki ʻakimautolu.
6But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
7Ko eni, ʻoku mau kole ki he ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha kovi; ʻo ʻikai pe ke fakaongolelei ai ʻakimautolu, ka koeʻuhi ke fai ʻekimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku angatonu, neongo ʻoku mau hangē ha kau kākā.
7Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and that we may be as reprobates.
8He ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ha meʻa ke angatuʻu ki he moʻoni, ka ke kau taha mo e moʻoni.
8For we can do nothing against the truth; but for the truth.
9He ʻoku mau fiefia, ʻoka mau ka vaivai, kae mālohi ʻakimoutolu: pea ko e meʻa foki ʻoku mau fakaʻamu ki ai, ko hoʻomou fakahaohaoa.
9For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.
10Ko ia ʻoku ou tohi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi heʻeku mamaʻo, telia naʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻi ai te u fai fakamamahi, ʻo fakatatau mo e mālohi kuo foaki ʻe he ʻEiki kiate au ke langa ʻaki hake, ka ʻikai ki he fakaʻauha.
10Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.
11Ko hono ngata, ʻe kāinga, siʻotoʻofa atu. Ke mou haohaoa, ke mou fiemālie, mou loto taha pe, mou moʻui melino; pea ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ʻofa mo e melino ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia.
11For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.
12Ke mou fetoutou fekitaʻaki ʻae fekita māʻoniʻoni.
12Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the saints salute you.
13ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
13The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.
14Ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo e ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, mo e feohi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē. ʻEmeni.
