TSK · 2 Timoti 4:5

¶ Kua oti he kaitiaki te whakarite e ahau ki ou taiepa, e Hiruharama; e kore e kopia te mangai i te ao, i te po. E nga kaiwhakahua o to Ihowa ingoa, kei ata noho,

E te tama a te tangata, kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei kaitutei ma te whare o Iharaira. Na whakarongo ki te kupu o toku mangai, a ko koe hei kaiwhakatupato maku i a ratou.

Ina, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, kua waiho koe e ahau hei tutei mo te whare o Iharaira; a me whakarongo koe ki te kupu a toku mangai, ko koe ano taku hei whakatupato i a ratou.

Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, mahue iho i a ia tona whare, a tukua iho e ia nga tikanga ki ana pononga, tana mahi ma tetahi, ma tetahi, ka whakahau iho hoki ki te kaitiaki tatau kia mataara.

Ka koa nga pononga e rokohina mai e to ratou rangatira, a tona taenga mai, e mataara ana: he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka whitiki ia i a ia, a ka mea i a ratou kia noho, ka haere ki te mahi mea ma ratou.

¶ I te aonga ake ka turia atu e matou, ka haere ki Hiharia: a tomo ana ki te whare o Piripi kaikauwhau, ko ia nei tetahi o nga tokowhitu; noho ana i a ia.

A homai ana e ia ko etahi hei apotoro; ko etahi hei poropiti; ko etahi hei kaikauwhau i te rongopai; ko etahi hei hepara, hei kaiwhakaako;

Mea atu hoki ki a Arakipu, Kia mahara ki te mahi minita kua riro na i a koe i roto i te Ariki, kia ata mahia marietia.

Kei whakahawea tetahi ki a koe, he taitamariki nou; engari hei tauira koe ki te hunga whakapono, tau kupu, tau whakahaere, tou aroha, tou whakapono, tou ngakau ma.

Na, kei whakama koe ki te whakaatu i to tatou Ariki, ki ahau ranei, kia tona herehere: engari uru atu koe ki nga mate o te rongopai, kia rite ki ta te Atua whakakahanga;

Koia hoki ahau i whakaririka kau ai ki nga mea katoa he mea mo te hunga whiriwhiri; kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te ora i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ki te kororia mutungakore ano hoki.

Kia ngohengohe ki o koutou kaitohutohu, kia ngawari ki ta ratou kupu; e mataara ana hoki ratou ki o koutou wairua, a me korero ano e ratou a mua te tikanga o a ratou mahi: kia hari ai ratou ina mea i tenei, kia kaua hoki e pouri: kahore hoki he pai o tenei mo koutou.

Kia mataara, whakaukia nga mea e toe nei, ka tata nei te mate; kahore hoki ahau i kite i au mahi kia tino rite ki te aroaro o toku Atua.
