1Pea ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni foki, ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui ʻae kuonga fakatuʻutāmaki.
1But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.
2Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻofa ʻae kau tangata kiate kinautolu pe, ʻo manumanu, mo polepole, mo laukau, mo lea kovi, mo talangataʻa ki he mātuʻa, mo taʻefakafetaʻi, mo taʻemāʻoniʻoni,
2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3ʻO taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻoku ngali mo e kāinga, ʻo liʻaki ʻae lea fakapapau, ko e kau lohiaki, ko e kau holi kovi, ko e kau anga mālohi, ko e kau manuki kiate kinautolu ʻoku lelei,
3unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,
4Ko e kau lavaki, ʻo anga ʻohonoa, mo loto fielahi, ko e kau ʻofa lahi hake ki he ngaahi mālie fakamaama, ʻi heʻenau ʻofa ki he ʻOtua;
4traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5ʻOku nau maʻu hono ngeʻesi ʻoe lotu, ka ʻoku nau liʻaki ʻa hono mālohi: ke ke afe mei he kakai pehē.
5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!
6Pea ʻoku mei he kakai pehē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ngaolo ki he ngaahi fale, ʻo taki pōpula ʻae kau fefine fakavalevale ʻoku ʻefi ʻi he hia, kuo takiekina ʻe he ngaahi holi kehekehe,
6They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,
7ʻOku nau ako maʻuaipē, ka ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te nau lavaʻi ʻae ʻilo ʻoe moʻoni.
7who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
8Kae hangē ko e tuʻu ʻa Sani mo Samepi kia Mōsese, ʻoku pehē ʻae tuʻu foki ʻakinautolu ni ki he moʻoni: ko e kau tangata loto kovi, pea taʻemoʻoni ki he tui.
8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.
9Ka ko eni, ʻe ʻikai te nau fai maʻuaipē: koeʻuhi ʻe hā atu ʻenau vale ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē foki ko e vale ʻanaua.
9But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.
10Ka kuo ke ʻilo fakapapau ʻeku akonaki, mo e anga ʻo ʻeku moʻui, mo hoku loto, mo e tui, mo e kātaki fuoloa, mo e ʻofa, mo e faʻa ʻūkuma,
10You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,
11Mo e ngaahi fakatanga, mo e mamahi, naʻe hoko kiate au ʻi ʻAniteoke, mo ʻIkoniume, mo Lisita; ʻae ngaahi fakatanga naʻaku faʻa kātakiʻi: ka naʻe fakamoʻui au mei ai kotoa pē ʻe he ʻEiki.
11my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12ʻIo, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku loto ke moʻui angafakaʻotua kia Kalaisi Sisu, te nau ʻilo ʻae fakatanga.
12Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13Ka ko e kau tangata angakovi mo e kau fakahala, te nau tupulaki ʻi he kovi ki he kovi, ʻo faʻa kākaaʻi, pea ʻe kākāʻia ʻakinautolu.
13while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14Ka ke tuʻumaʻu pē ʻa koe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻaia kuo akonekina ai koe, pea kuo ke ʻilo pau ki ai, ʻo ke ʻilo ʻaia kuo ke maʻu ia mei ai;
14But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.
15Koeʻuhi ʻoku talu hoʻo kei siʻi, naʻa ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi tohi māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku faʻa fakapoto koe ki he fakamoʻui ʻi he tui ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16ʻOku foaki mai ʻae Tohitapu kotoa pē ʻi he fakamānava ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he akonaki, mo e valoki, mo e fakatonutonu, mo e fakapoto ki he māʻoniʻoni:
16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17Koeʻuhi ke haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kakato hono teuteu ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
