2 Coríntios 13

He Whakatūpato, he Mihi Whakamutunga

1 Hei tuatoru tēnei mō ōku haerenga atu ki a koutou. "Mā te māngai o ngā kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru rānei, ka ū ai ngā kupu katoa." 2 Kua kōrero anō ahau i mua, ka kōrero anō ināianei, pērā i te tuarua o ōku wā i konā, ā, i ahau e ngaro mai nei, ki te hunga i hara i mua, ki ērā katoa anō hoki, nā, ki te tae atu anō ahau, e kore e tohungia e ahau; 3 e rapu tohu nā hoki koutou o te Karaiti e kōrero ana i roto i ahau; kāhore nei ia e ngoikore ki a koutou, engari e kaha ana i roto i a koutou. 4 I rīpekatia hoki ia i te mea e ngoikore ana, otiia kei te ora ia, nā te kaha o te Atua. He ngoikore hoki mātou i roto i a ia, heoi ka ora tahi anō me ia, he meatanga nā te kaha o te Atua ki a koutou.

5 Whakamātauria iho koutou anō, mehemea rānei koutou kei roto i te whakapono; tirohia iho ō koutou tohu e koutou anō. Tēnā rānei kāhore koutou e mātau ana ki a koutou anō, kei roto i a koutou a Īhu Karaiti? Ki te mea ia ehara koutou i te mea ākiri. 6 Otirā, e ū ana tōku whakaaro, e mātau ana anō koutou, ehara mātou i te mea ākiri. 7 Nā, ko tā mātou īnoi tēnei ki te Atua, kia kaua koutou e mea i tētahi kino; ehara i te mea mō mātou kia kitea e paingia ana, engari mō koutou kia mahi i te pai, ahakoa ko mātou hei mea ākiri. 8 E kore hoki e taea e mātou tētahi mea e hē ai te pono, engari te mea e ū ai te pono. 9 E hari ana hoki mātou ina ngoikore mātou, ina kaha koutou. Ko tā mātou hoki tēnei e īnoi nei, ko koutou kia tino tika. 10 Koia ahau ka tuhituhi atu nei i ēnei mea, i ahau e ngaro mai nei, kei tae atu ahau ki konā, ka koi tāku i runga i te mana kua tukua mai nei e te Ariki ki ahau hei hanga mō te whare, ehara i te mea hei wāhi.

11 Kāti rā, e ōku tēina, hei konā. Kia tino tika; kia mārie te ngākau; kia kotahi te whakaaro; kia mau te rongo; ā, tērā te Atua o te aroha, o te maunga rongo e noho ki a koutou.

12 Oha atu tētahi ki tētahi, hei te kihi tapu anō. 13 Tēnei te hunga tapu katoa te oha atu nei ki a koutou.

14 Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te atawhai o te Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, me te aroha o te Atua, me te whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua Tapu.

1 This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every word be established. 2 I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare; 3 seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to you-ward is not weak, but is powerful in you: 4 for he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you. 5 Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate. 6 But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate. 7 Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is honorable, though we be as reprobate. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting. 10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.

11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.

13 All the saints salute you.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
