1Ko ia, ʻe kāinga ʻofeina, ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa ni, ke tau fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he ʻuli kotoa pē ʻoe kakano mo e laumālie, ʻo fakahaohaoa ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he manavahē ki he ʻOtua.
1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God.
2Mou maʻu ʻakimautolu; naʻe ʻikai te mau fai taʻetotonu ki ha tokotaha, naʻe ʻikai te mau fakaangahalaʻi ha tokotaha, naʻe ʻikai te mau kākaaʻi ha tokotaha.
2Receive us. We have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have overreached no man.
3ʻOku ʻikai te u lea ko ha tautea: he kuo ʻosi ʻeku tala atu, ʻoku mou ʻi homau loto ke mau mate mo moʻui mo kimoutolu.
3I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together.
4ʻOku lahi ʻeku faʻa lea atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ou vikiviki lahi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu: kuo fakafonu au ʻi he fiemālie, ʻoku ou fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻi heʻemau mamahi kotoa pē.
4Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.
5Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻemau hoko ki Masitōnia, naʻe ʻikai ha mālōlō ki homau kakano, ka naʻe fakamamahi ʻakimautolu mei he potu kotoa pē; naʻe ʻituʻa ʻae ngaahi tau, pea ʻi loto ʻae manavahē.
5For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.
6Ka ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu kuo lī ki lalo, naʻa ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻi he haʻu ʻa Taitusi;
6But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
7Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi heʻene haʻu pe, ka ʻi he fakafiemālie ʻaia naʻe fakafiemālie ai ia ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻene tala kiate kimautolu hoʻomou holi lahi, mo hoʻomou mamahi, mo hoʻomou feinga kiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻeku fiefia.
7And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
8He ʻoku ʻikai te u fakatomala ʻi heʻeku fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae tohi, ka naʻaku fakatomala ai: he ʻoku ou vakai ko e tohi ko ia, kuo ne fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu, kae fuoloa siʻi pe.
8For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;
9Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou fiefia, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi homou fakamamahi, ka ʻi homou mamahi ki he fakatomala: he naʻa mou mamahi ʻo tāau mo e ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa mou masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻiate kimautolu.
9Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.
10He ko e mamahi ʻoku taau mo e ʻOtua ʻoku ne langaki ʻae fakatomala ki he fakamoʻui, ʻe ʻikai toe fakatomala ai: ka ko e mamahi fakamaama, ʻoku ne langaki ʻae mate.
10For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11Vakai eni ki he meʻa ni pe, ʻa hoʻomou mamahi ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua, ki he faʻa fai naʻa ne fakatupu ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻio, ʻae fakaʻataʻatā ʻo kimoutolu, ʻae fakaʻiseʻisa, ʻae manavahē, ʻae holi lahi, ʻio, ʻae fai feinga, ʻa ʻetau tautea! Kuo mou fakahā ʻaki ia kotoa pē ʻa hoʻomou ʻataʻatā ʻi he meʻa ni.
11For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.
12Ko ia ne u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ka naʻe ʻikai koeʻuhi ko ia pe naʻe fai ʻae kovi, pe ko ia pe naʻa ne mamahi ʻi he kovi, ka koeʻuhi ke hā ai kiate kimoutolu ʻemau tokanga kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
12Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you
13Ko ia naʻa mau fiemālie ʻi hoʻomou fiemālie: pea naʻe lahi hake ʻaupito ʻemau fiefia koeʻuhi ko e fiefia ʻa Taitusi, he naʻe fakafiemālieʻi hono laumālie ʻekimoutolu kotoa pē.
13Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14He kapau naʻaku polepole ʻi ha meʻa kiate ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai te u mā ai; kae hangē ko ʻemau lea kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē pe mo ʻemau polepole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Taitusi, ʻoku ʻilo ia ko e moʻoni.
14And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.
15Pea ko ʻene manavaʻofa ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito kiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻene manatu ki he talangofua ʻamoutolu kotoa pē, pea mo hoʻomou maʻu ia ʻi he manavahē mo e tetetete.
15And his bowels are more abundantly towards you; remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you have received him.
16Pea ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi heʻeku falala kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
16I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
