1Pea ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni foki, ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui ʻae kuonga fakatuʻutāmaki.
1But know this: that in the last days, grievous 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 self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, 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,
3without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers 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;
4traitors, headstrong, 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.
5holding a form of godliness but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
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 some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7ʻOku nau ako maʻuaipē, ka ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te nau lavaʻi ʻae ʻilo ʻoe moʻoni.
7always learning and never able to come 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.
8Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.
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 proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.
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 you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness,
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, and sufferings—those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all.
12ʻIo, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku loto ke moʻui angafakaʻotua kia Kalaisi Sisu, te nau ʻilo ʻae fakatanga.
12Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will 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 impostors will grow worse and 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 you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing 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 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:
16Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
17Koeʻuhi ke haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kakato hono teuteu ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
17that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
