2 Kolinitō 2

1For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

1KA naʻe pau hoku loto ki he meʻa ni, ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he mamahi.

2For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?

2He kapau ʻoku ou fakamamahiʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea ko hai ia ʻoku ne fakafiefiaʻi au, ka ko ia kuo fakamamahiʻi ʻiate au?

3And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

3Ko ia ne u tohi ai ʻae meʻa ko ia kiate kimoutolu, telia naʻa ʻi heʻeku hoko atu, teu mamahi meiate kinautolu ʻoku totonu ke u fiefia ai; pea ʻoku ou falala kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, ko ʻeku fiefia ko e fiefia ia ʻo kimoutolu kotoa pē.

4For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

4He ne u tohi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he mamahi lahi mo e feinga loto mo e loʻimata lahi: ka naʻe ʻikai ke mou mamahi ai, ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ʻo lahi ʻaupito kiate kimoutolu.

5Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.

5Pea kapau kuo fai fakamamahi ʻe ha taha, ʻoku ʻikai teu mamahi au, kae ʻi he niʻihi pe: ke ʻoua naʻaku fakamāfasia ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.

6For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough,

6Pea kuo lahi ki he tokotaha ko ia ʻa ʻetau tautea ni, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe he tokolahi.

7so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

7Ko ia ke ʻoua, ka mou fakamolemole muʻa, pea fakafiemālieʻi ia, telia naʻa fōngia hifo ʻae tokotaha ko ia ʻi he mamahi lahi.

8So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.

8Ko ia ʻoku ou kole atu kiate kimoutolu ke mou fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻofa kiate ia.

9For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

9He ko e meʻa ko ia naʻaku tohi ai foki, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ai ha fakaʻilonga kiate kimoutolu, pe ʻoku mou talangofua ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.

10Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,

10Ko ia ʻoku mou fakamolemole ha meʻa ki ai, ʻoku ou fakamolemolea foki: pea ko ia kuo u fakamolemolea, ʻo kapau ne u fakamolemolea ha meʻa, naʻaku fai ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Kalaisi;

11so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.

11Telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe Sētane: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau vale ki heʻene ngaahi filioʻi.

12When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord,

12Ka ʻi heʻeku hoko atu ki Taloasi, ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi, pea fakaava ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae matapā kiate au,

13my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.

13Naʻe ʻikai ha fiemālie ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai teu feʻiloaki mo hoku tokoua ko Taitusi: pea hili ʻemau māvae mo kinautolu, peau ʻalu mei ai ki Masitōnia.

14But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

14Pea ko eni, fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke mau faʻa ikuna ʻia Kalaisi, pea ʻoku ne fofola atu ʻae ngangatu ʻo ʻene ʻilo ʻiate kimautolu ʻi he potu kotoa pē.

15For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

15He ko e ngangatu lelei ʻo Kalaisi ʻakimautolu ki he ʻOtua, ʻiate kinautolu kuo fakamoʻui, pea ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fakaʻauha:

16to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

16Ko e nanamu ʻoe mate ki he mate ki he niʻihi; pea ki he niʻihi ko e nanamu ʻoe moʻui ki he moʻui. Pea ko hai ʻoku taau mo e ngaahi meʻa ni?

17For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

17He ʻoku ʻikai te mau hangē ko e tokolahi, ʻoku fai kākā ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua: ka ʻi he moʻoni, ka ʻi he ʻOtua, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku mau lea kia Kalaisi.
