1Ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia te ne fakamaau ʻae moʻui mo e mate ʻi heʻene fakahā mai mo hono puleʻanga;
1I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:
2Ke ke malangaʻaki ʻae folofola; faʻa fai ʻi he faingamālie, mo e taʻehafaingamālie; valoki, mo fakatonutonu, mo enginaki, ʻi he anga faʻa kātaki kotoa pē mo e akonaki
2Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
3Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae kuonga ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kātaki ai ʻae akonaki totonu; ka ʻi he ʻiate kinautolu ʻae telinga veli, te nau fakatokolahi maʻanautolu ʻae kau akonaki ʻo tatau mo ʻenau holi.
3For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:
4Pea te nau fakatafoki honau telinga mei he moʻoni, pea tuli tāupau ki he meʻa loi.
4And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
5Ka ke leʻo pe ʻa koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mamahi, fai ʻae ngaue ʻoe ʻevangeliō, fai ke kakato hoʻo ngaue fakafaifekau.
5But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober.
6He ʻoku ou tali pe ki hoku lilingi, pea ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo hoku tukuange.
6For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
7Kuo u tau ʻae tau lelei, kuo u lavaʻi ʻae fakapuepue, kuo u tauhi maʻu ʻae tui:
7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
8Ngata ai, kuo hilifaki moʻoku ʻae pale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻe foaki mai kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe he ʻEiki, ko e Fakamaau māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻikai kiate au pe, ka kiate kinautolu kotoa pē foki ʻoku ʻofa ki hono fakahā mai.
8As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.
9Ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke haʻu vave kiate au:
9For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica:
10He kuo siʻaki au ʻe Temasi; kuo ʻofa ia ki he māmani, pea kuo ʻalu ia ki Tesalonika; ko Kilisini ki Kalētia, mo Taitusi ki Talemetia.
10Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.
11Ko Luke pe ʻoku ʻiate au. Haʻu mo Maʻake, pea mo omi fakataha: he ʻoku ʻaonga ia kiate au ʻi he ngaue fakafaifekau.
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12Pea kuo u fekau ʻa Tikiko ki ʻEfesō.

13The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments.
14Naʻe fai kovi lahi kiate au ʻe ʻAlekisānita, ko e tufunga ngaohi meʻa kapa: ʻe totongi ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngaahi ngaue:
14Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:
15ʻAia ke ke vakai ki ai foki, he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻene fakatanga ki heʻetau lea.
15Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words.
16ʻI heʻeku fuofua fakamatala, naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tuʻu mo au, ka naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē au: ʻofa ke ʻoua naʻa lau ia kiate kinautolu.
16At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge.
17Ka naʻe tuʻu mo au ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo ne fakamālohiʻi au; koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻiate au ʻae malanga, pea ke fanongo ki ai ʻae Senitaile kotoa pē: pea naʻe fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione.
17But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18Pea ʻe fakahaofi au ʻe he ʻEiki mei he ngaue kovi kotoa pē, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻo aʻu ki hono puleʻanga ʻi he langi: ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
18The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21Ke ke ʻahiʻahi ke haʻu ʻi he teʻeki hokosia ʻae faʻahitaʻu momoko. ʻOku ʻofa atu kiate koe ʻa Iupulo, mo Piutena, mo Laino, mo Kalotia, mo e kāinga kotoa pē.
21Make haste to come before winter Eubulus and Pudens, and Linus and Claudia, and all the brethren, salute thee.
22Ke ʻi ho laumālie ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
22The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
