II Corinthians 1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

Na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Timoti, ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ratou ko te hunga tapu katoa i Akaia puta noa:

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, te Matua o nga mahi tohu, te Atua o te whakamarie katoa;

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Ko ia hoki te kaiwhakamarie i a matou i o matou paweratanga katoa, e taea ai e matou te whakamarie te hunga e pehia ana e te aha, e te aha, ma te whakamarie e whakamarie nei te Atua i a matou.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

I te mea kei te hira tonu nga mamae o te Karaiti i roto i a matou, kei te pera ano te hira o to matou whakamarietanga i roto i a te Karaiti.

And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

Na, ahakoa tukinotia matou, he mea tena kia whakamarietia ai, kia whakaorangia ai koutou; ahakoa ranei whakamarietia matou, he mea tena kia whakamarietia ai koutou, koia tena e mahi na, i a koutou ka whakaririka kau na ki aua mamae e mamae nei ho ki matou:

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

E u ana hoki to matou whakaaro ki a koutou, i te mohio iho, ka uru na koutou ki nga mamae, ka uru ano hoki koutou ki te whakamarietanga.

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

Kahore hoki matou e pai kia ngaro i a koutou, e oku teina, te paweratanga i tupono ki a matou i Ahia, te tino taimaha o te pehanga i a matou, nuku noa atu i to matou kaha, na poroporoaki ana matou ki te ora:

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

Ae, i roto ano i a matou te kupu mo te mate, kia kaua o matou whakaaro e u ki a matou ano, engari ki te Atua, ki te kaiwhakaara i te hunga mate:

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

Nana matou i whakaora i taua mate nui, a e whakaora ano ia: e u ana o matou whakaaro ki a ia, tera ia e whakaora tonu i a matou;

Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

Me koutou hoki ka awhina tahi na ki ta koutou inoi mo matou; kia whakawhetai te tokomaha mo matou, mo te aroha noa na te tokomaha i homai ki a matou.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

Ko ta matou whakamanamana hoki ko tenei, ko te whakaaetanga ake o to matou hinengaro, kei runga i te tapu, i te tapatahi o te Atua, ehara i te mea kei runga i to te kikokiko mohio, engari i to te Atua aroha noa, ta matou whakahaere i te ao, ki a koutou rawa ano ia.

For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

Ehara hoki ta matou e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koutou i te mea ke i ta koutou e korero na i te pukapuka, e whakaae na; a e u ana toku whakaaro, e whakaae koutou taea noatia te mutunga;

As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Me koutou ano i whakaae mai na ko tetahi wahi ki a matou, ko matou ta koutou e whakamanamana ai, pera hoki me koutou, ko koutou ta matou e whakamanamana ai i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu.

And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

Na, i toku whakapono ki tenei, i mea ahau kia haere atu i mua ra ki a koutou, kia rua ai painga ki a koutou;

And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

Kia tika atu ma koutou na ki Makeronia, a kia hoki mai i Makeronia ki a koutou, a ma koutou e whakatika atu taku haere ki Huria.

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

Na, i ahau ka whakaaro i tenei, i hanga noa iho ranei toku ngakau? he whakaaro ranei no te kikokiko oku whakaaro e mea ai ahau, Ae, ae, kahore, kahore?

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

Otira i te mea he pono te Atua, ehara ta matou kupu ki a koutou i te ae, i te kahore.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

Ko te Tama hoki a te Atua, ko Ihu Karaiti, i kauwhautia ra e matou i roto i a koutou, ara e ahau, e Hirawanu, e Timoti, ehara i te ae, i te kahore ranei, engari he ae i roto i a ia.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Pewhea ake hoki te maha o nga kupu homai a te Atua, kei roto tonu i a ia te ae; a ma roto mai hoki i a ia te Amine, hei kororia mo te Atua i roto i a tatou.

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

Na, ko te kaiwhakau i a matou me koutou i roto i a te Karaiti, ko te kaiwhakawahi i a tatou, ko te Atua;

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Nana tatou i hiri, nana hoki i homai te wahi tuatahi, ara te Wairua ki roto ki o tatou ngakau.

Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

Na, ka karanga ahau ki te Atua hei kaititiro mo toku wairua, he tohu naku i a koutou te haere wawe atu ai ahau ki Koriniti.

Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

Ehara i te mea hei rangatira matou mo to koutou whakapono, engari hei hoa mahi matou i te hari mo koutou: na te whakapono hoki koutou i tu ai.
