2 Timóteo 4

1 I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom: 2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables. 5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. 8 From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

9 Be diligent to come to me soon, 10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. 12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.

16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them. 17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick. 21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

1 Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koe i te aroaro o te Atua, o Karaiti Īhu hoki, māna nei e whakawā te hunga ora me te hunga mate, i te āhua o tōna putanga mai me tōna rangatiratanga, 2 kauwhautia te kupu; tohea i ngā wā pai, i ngā wā kino; rīria te hē, whakahēngia iho, whakahaua, whakapaua te manawanui me te whakaako. 3 Tēnei ake hoki te wā e kore ai rātou e whakarongo ki te whakaako tika; heoi, i te mea he taringa minamina ō rātou, ka apohia e rātou he kaiwhakaako e rite ana ki ō rātou nā hiahia. 4 Ka tahuri kē ō rātou taringa i te pono, ka anga atu ki ngā kōrero tito noa. 5 Kia mau ia koe i ngā mea katoa; tukua atu ngā mamae ki a koe; mahia te mahi a te kaikauwhau i te rongopai; whakapaua tāu mahi minita.

6 Tēnei hoki ahau kei te ringihia, kua rite anō te wā hei haerenga mōku. 7 Kua whawhaitia e ahau te whawhai pai, kua omakia tōku omanga, kua rite i ahau te whakapono. 8 Kei te takoto mai mōku i ngā wā ō muri nei te karauna o te tika, e hōmai ki ahau ā taua rā e te Ariki, e te kaiwhakawā tika. He teka ki ahau anake, engari ki te hunga katoa anō hoki kua matenui ki tōna putanga mai.

He Kupu Whaiara

9 Kia puta tōu uaua ki te haere wawe mai ki ahau; 10 kua whakarērea ahau e Rīmaha, he aroha nōna ki tēnei ao, ā, haere ana ia ki Teharonika; kua riro atu a Kerekena ki Karatia, a Taituha ki Raramatia. 11 Ko Ruka anake kei ahau. Tēnā a Māka mauria mai hei hoa mōu; he pai hoki ia mō tāku mahi minita. 12 Kua tonoa e ahau a Tikiku, ki Epeha. 13 Ka haere mai koe, mauria mai te koroka i mahue atu i ahau ki Toroa, ki a Karapu, me ngā pukapuka; tēnā rawa ia ngā kirihipi.

14 He maha ngā kino i meatia mai e Arehānera, e te kaimahi parāhi ki ahau. Mā te Ariki e hoatu ki a ia he utu e rite ana ki āna mahi. 15 Kia tūpato hoki koe ki a ia; he rahi rawa hoki tāna totohe ki ā mātou kupu.

16 I tāku kōrerotanga tuatahi, i karo ai i ahau, kāhore he tangata hei tuarā mōku, heoi, whakarērea ake ahau e te katoa. Kaua tēnei e whakairia ki a rātou. 17 I tū ia te Ariki ki tōku taha, nāna hoki ahau i whakakaha; kia whakapaua rawatia ai e ahau te kauwhau, kia rongo katoa ai ngā tauiwi. Ā, tōia mai ana ahau i roto i te māngai o te raiona. 18 Tērā ahau e tōia mai e te Ariki i roto i ngā mahi kino katoa, e whakaorangia hoki tae noa ki tōna rangatiratanga i te rangi. Waiho atu i a ia te korōria ake ake. Āmine.

Poroporoaki

19 Oha atu ki a Pirihira rāua ko Akuira, ki te hunga anō hoki o te whare o Onehipora. 20 I noho atu a Eratu i Koriniti; ko Toropimu i mahue atu, i ahau ki Miretu, he mate. 21 Kia puta tōu uaua ki te haere mai i mua o te hōtoke.

Tēnei te oha atu nei ki a koe a Ūpuru, a Purena, a Rinuha, a Karauria, me ngā tēina katoa.

22 Kia noho te Ariki ki tōu wairua. Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou.
