King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo fakatatau ki he talaʻofa ʻoe moʻui ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2Ke ʻia Timote, ko e foha ʻofeina, ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai mo Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki.
2To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou tauhi, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi tamai ʻi muʻa, ʻi he ʻatamai māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ou manatu maʻuaipē kiate koe ʻi heʻeku ngaahi lotu ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho;
3I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4ʻO holi lahi ke u mamata kiate koe, ʻi heʻeku manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi loʻimata, koeʻuhi ke u fonu ʻi he fiefia;
4Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5ʻI heʻeku fakamanatu ki he tui taʻeloi ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻaia naʻe muʻaki nofoʻia hoʻo kui fefine ko Loisi, mo hoʻo faʻē ko ʻIunisi; pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate koe foki.
5When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
6Ko ia ʻoku ou fakamanatu ai kiate koe ke ke tafutafu ʻae meʻa foaki ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻi he hilifaki ʻa hoku nima.
6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7He naʻe ʻikai foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe manavasiʻi; ka ko e mālohi, mo e ʻofa, mo e loto fakapotopoto.
7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa ke mā koe ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa hotau ʻEiki, pe kiate au ko ʻene pōpula: ka ke kau koe ʻi he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻo taau mo e mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua;
8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9ʻAia kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻo ne ui ʻakitautolu ʻi he uiuiʻi māʻoniʻoni, ʻo ʻikai fakatatau mo e tau ngaahi ngaue, ka ʻoku fakatatau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate kitautolu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani,
9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10Ka kuo hā eni ʻi he fakahā ʻahotau Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne ikuna ʻae mate, pea kuo ne fakahā ʻi he maama ʻae moʻui mo e taʻemate ʻi he ongoongolelei:
10But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11ʻAia naʻe fakanofo au ke u malangaʻaki ia, ko e ʻaposetolo, mo e akonaki ʻoe kakai Senitaile.
11Where unto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12Ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ou kātaki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni: ka ʻoku ʻikai te u mā: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻaia kuo u tui ki ai, pea ʻoku pau hoku loto ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe ia ke tauhi ʻaia kuo u tuku kiate ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ko ia.
12For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13Puke ke maʻu ʻae sino ʻoe ngaahi lea haohaoa, ʻaia naʻa ke fanongo ai ʻiate au, ʻi he tui mo e ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
13Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14Ko e meʻa lelei ko ia naʻe tuku kiate koe ke ke tauhi ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu.
14That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ʻEsia kuo nau siʻaki au; ʻaia kuo kau ai ʻa Faiselo mo Hemosine.
15This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16Ke foaki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he fale ʻo ʻOnesifolo; he naʻe liunga lahi ʻene tokoniʻi au, pea naʻe ʻikai mā ia ʻi hoku haʻi ukamea:
16The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
17Ka ʻi heʻene ʻi Loma, naʻa ne kumi lahi kiate au, ʻo ne ʻiloʻi au .
17But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me .
18ʻOfa ke tuku kiate ia ʻe he ʻEiki ke ne maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mei he ʻEiki ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea ko e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe naʻa ne tokoniʻi ai au ʻi ʻEfesō, ʻoku ke ʻilo pe.
18The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
