1 Timote 4

1 Ka ʻoku lea fakapatonu mai ʻae Laumālie, ʻe hē ʻae niʻihi mei he tui ʻi he ngaahi kuonga fakamui, ʻo tokanga ki he ngaahi laumālie fakahala, mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻoe kau tēvolo;

Spiritus autem manifeste dicit, quia in novissimis temporibus discedent quidam a fide, attendentes spiritibus erroris, et doctrinis dæmoniorum,

2 ‌ʻI he mālualoi ʻokinautolu ʻoku lea loi; kuo hunuhunu honau ʻatamai ʻaki ʻae ukamea vela;

in hypocrisi loquentium mendacium, et cauteriatam habentium suam conscientiam,

3 ‌ʻO fekau ke ʻoua naʻa mali, mo nau fakatapui ʻae ngaahi meʻakai, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua ke maʻu ʻi he fakafetaʻi ʻekinautolu ʻoku tui pea ʻilo ʻae moʻoni.

prohibentium nubere, abstinere a cibis, quod Deus creavit ad percipiendum cum gratiarum actione fidelibus, et iis qui cognoverunt veritatem.

4 He ʻoku lelei ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ke siʻaki, ʻo kapau ʻe maʻu ia ʻi he fakafetaʻi:

Quia omnis creatura Dei bona est, et nihil rejiciendum quod cum gratiarum actione percipitur:

5 He kuo fakangofua ia ʻe he folofola ʻae ʻOtua mo e lotu.

sanctificatur enim per verbum Dei, et orationem.

6 Kapau te ke fakamanatuʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ki he kāinga, te ke hoko ko e faifekau lelei ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo taau mo hoʻo fafangaʻi ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻoe tui mo e akonaki lelei, ʻaia kuo ke lavaʻi hono ʻiloʻi.

Hæc proponens fratribus, bonus eris minister Christi Jesu enutritus verbis fidei, et bonæ doctrinæ, quam assecutus es.

7 Ka ko e ngaahi talatupuʻa launoa mo fakafinemātuʻa ke siʻaki, ka ke ngaue koe ki he angafakaʻotua.

Ineptas autem, et aniles fabulas devita: exerce autem teipsum ad pietatem.

8 He ʻoku siʻi hono ʻaonga ʻoe ngaue ki he sino: ka ko e angafakaʻotua ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe moʻui ko eni, pea mo ia ʻe hoko mai.

Nam corporalis exercitatio, ad modicum utilis est: pietas autem ad omnia utilis est, promissionem habens vitæ, quæ nunc est, et futuræ.

9 Ko e tala moʻoni eni, pea taau mo e kakai kotoa pē ke maʻu.

Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus.

10 He ko ia ia ʻoku tau ngaue ai mo kātaki ʻae manuki, he ʻoku tau falala ki he ʻOtua moʻui, ʻaia ko e Fakamoʻui ia ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, kae lahi kiate kinautolu ʻoku tui.

In hoc enim laboramus, et maledicimur, quia speramus in Deum vivum, qui est Salvator omnium hominum, maxime fidelium.

11 Ke ke fekau ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni mo ako ʻaki.

Præcipe hæc, et doce.

12 ‌ʻOua naʻa manukiʻi hoʻo kei siʻi ʻe ha taha; ka ke ʻi he kakai tui ko e fakaʻilonga, ʻi he lea, mo e ʻulungāanga, mo e ʻofa, mo e faianga, mo e tui, mo e māʻoniʻoni.

Nemo adolescentiam tuam contemnat: sed exemplum esto fidelium in verbo, in conversatione, in caritate, in fide, in castitate.

13 Tokanga koe ki he lau tohi, mo e enginaki, mo e akonaki, kaeʻoua ke u ʻalu atu.

Dum venio, attende lectioni, exhortationi, et doctrinæ.

14 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke taʻetokangaʻi ʻae meʻa foaki ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate koe ʻi he kikite, mo e hilifaki ʻoe nima ʻoe kau mātuʻa.

Noli negligere gratiam, quæ in te est, quæ data est tibi per prophetiam, cum impositione manuum presbyterii.

15 Fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi meʻa ni; ke ke moʻua koe ki ai; koeʻuhi ke hā mai hoʻo fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.

Hæc meditare, in his esto: ut profectus tuus manifestus sit omnibus.

16 Ke ke vakai kiate koe, pea ki he akonaki; pea faifai maʻu pe ki ai: koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo fai ia te ke fakamoʻui koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku fanongo kiate koe.

Attende tibi, et doctrinæ: insta in illis. Hoc enim faciens, et teipsum salvum facies, et eos qui te audiunt.
