2 Timoti 3 - Te Kawenata Hou

Ngā Rā Mutunga

¹ Kia mātau koe ki tēnei, ko ā ngā rā o te whaka­mutu­nga puta mai ai ngā wā o te hē.

² E aroha hoki ngā tāngata ki a rātou anō, e aroha ki te moni, e whaka­peha­peha, e whaka­kake, e kohu­kohu, e tutū ki ngā mātua, kāhore he whaka­whetai, kāhore he tapu,

³ kāhore he aroha, he ūpoko mārō, he ngau­tuarā, e kore e pēhi i te ngākau, he hunga nana­kia, kāhore e aroha ki te pai,

⁴ he hunga tuku tangata, he hunga hīkaka, whaka­kake, tō rātou aroha kei ngā mahi tākaro kāhore ia ki te Atua;

⁵ ko te āhua o te kara­kia kei a rātou, tōna kaha ia whaka­kāhore­tia iho. Tahuri kē koe i ngā tāngata pērā.

⁶ Nō rātou hoki te hunga e kuhu nei ki ngā whare, ā, riro pārau ana i a rātou ngā wāhine hea­hea, e tai­maha nei i te hara, he mea kāwhaki nā ngā hia­hia maha,

⁷ e ako tonu ana, heoi kāhore rawa kia tae ki te mātau­ranga o te pono.

⁸ E rite ana ki a Hāni rāua ko Hamapiri i totohe ki a Mohi; wai­hoki ko ēnei tāngata e totohe ana ki te pono. He hunga kua kino kē te hine­ngaro, he ruke­nga atu i roto i te whaka­pono.

⁹ Heoi, e kore rātou e kake haere. Ka kitea hoki tō rātou kūware­tanga e te katoa, ka pērā hoki me tō rāua.

Ngā Tohutohu Mutunga

¹⁰ Otirā, kua mau nā i a koe tāku whaka­ako, tāku whaka­haere, tōku whaka­aro whaka­takoto, tōku whaka­pono, tōku pūhoi ki te riri, tōku aroha, tōku manawa­nui,

¹¹ ōku whaka­toi­nga, ōku mate­nga i mate ai ahau i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma, i Raihitara; ngā whaka­toi­nga i whaka­toia ai ahau. Heoi, whaka­ora­ngia ake ahau e te Ariki i roto i te katoa.

¹² Ā, e whaka­toia anō te hunga katoa e hia­hia ana kia noho i runga i te kara­kia i roto i a Karaiti Īhu.

¹³ Ko te hunga kino ia, me te hunga māminga, ka kake haere te kino, ka tini­hanga, ā, ka tini­hanga­tia.

¹⁴ Tēnā, ko koe kia mau ki ngā mea i ako rā koe, i whaka­ae­tia rā e koe, e mātau nā hoki koe ki tōu kai­whaka­ako ki ēnā mea.

¹⁵ Ki a koe anō i mōhio o tōu tama­riki­tanga ake, ki ngā karaipi­ture tapu, ko ngā mea ērā e whai mātau­ranga ai koe, e ora ai, i runga i te whaka­pono ki a Karaiti Īhu.

¹⁶ Nō te hā o te Atua ngā karaipi­ture katoa, he pai hoki hei whaka­ako, hei riri i te hē, hei whaka­tika­tika, hei whaka­ako ki te tika;

¹⁷ kia tino rite ai te tangata a te Atua, rite rawa mō ngā mahi pai katoa.
