II Thessalonians 1

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Na Paora, na ratou ko Hirawanu, ko Timoti, ki te hahi o te hunga o Teharonika i roto i te Atua, i to tatou Matua, i te Ariki hoki, i a Ihu Karaiti.

Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and 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.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

He tika rawa kia whakawhetai matou ki te Atua i nga wa katoa mo koutou, e oku teina, he mea pai ra hoki ia, no te mea e neke ake ana to koutou whakapono, hu nui rawa hoki te aroha o koutou katoa, o tetahi ki tetahi.

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

I whakamanamana ai matou ki a koutou i roto i nga hahi a te Atua, ki to koutou u, ki to koutou whakapono i nga whakatoinga katoa i a koutou, i nga tukinotanga hoki e whakaririka kau na koutou;

Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

He tohu tenei mo te tika o ta te Atua whakawa, kia kiia ai koutou he tau mo te kingitanga o te Atua, e mate nei koutou he whakaaro ki tera:

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

Mehemea ia he tika ki te Atua kia utua ki te kino te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou;

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

A, ki a koutou hoki e tukinotia na, kia okioki tahi me matou, i te whakakitenga mai o te Ariki, o Ihu, i runga i te rangi me nga anahera o tona kaha,

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

I roto i te mura ahi e rapu utu ana i te hunga kahore e matau ki te Atua, kahore nei hoki e ngohengohe ki te rongopai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Ko te utu hoki e whakapangia ki a ratou he whakangaromanga, he mea mutungakore i te aroaro ano o te Ariki, i te kororia ano hoki o tona kaha;

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Ina haere mai ia kia whakakororiatia i roto i tana hunga tapu, kia whakamoemititia i roto i te hunga whakapono katoa i taua ra; i whakapono na hoki koutou ki ta matou whakaatu i roto i a koutou.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

Koia nei matou ka inoi tonu nei mo koutou, kia meinga koutou e to tatou Atua he tau mo tenei karangatanga, kia whakaotia ano hoki e ia i runga i te kaha nga mea katoa i ahuareka ai tona pai, me te mahi ano hoki o te whakapono,

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Kia whakakororiatia ai te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, i roto i a koutou, me koutou hoki i roto i a ia, kia rite ai ki ta te aroha noa o to tatou Atua, o te Ariki hoki, o Ihu Karaiti.
