1Pea ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni foki, ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui ʻae kuonga fakatuʻutāmaki.
1Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.
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,
2Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,
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,
3Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,
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;
4Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:
5ʻOku nau maʻu hono ngeʻesi ʻoe lotu, ka ʻoku nau liʻaki ʻa hono mālohi: ke ke afe mei he kakai pehē.
5Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
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,
6For of these sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:
7ʻOku nau ako maʻuaipē, ka ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te nau lavaʻi ʻae ʻilo ʻoe moʻoni.
7Ever learning, and never attaining to the 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.
8Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning 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 shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
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,
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
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.
11Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12ʻIo, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku loto ke moʻui angafakaʻotua kia Kalaisi Sisu, te nau ʻilo ʻae fakatanga.
12And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
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.
13But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.
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 continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast 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.
15And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is 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, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,
17Koeʻuhi ke haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kakato hono teuteu ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
17That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
