¹And concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye — do ye;

¹¶ Na mo te kohikohi mo te hunga tapu, peratia me taku i whakarite ai ki nga hahi o Karatia.

²on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

²Hei te ra tuatahi o te wiki ka whakatakoto ia tangata, ia tangata o koutou ki te taha tohu ai, kei te ahua o te manaakitanga i a ia, kei waiho nga kohikohi mo te wa e tae atu ai ahau.

³and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;

³A ka tae atu ahau, maku e tono te hunga e whakapaingia ana e a koutou pukapuka hei mau i ta koutou aroha noa ki Hiruharama.

⁴and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.

⁴A ki te tika kia haere atu ano hoki ahau, ko matou tahi e haere.

⁵And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia — for Macedonia I do pass through —

⁵¶ Na ka haere atu ahau ki a koutou, ina tika ahau ra Makeronia: e tika ana hoki ahau ra Makeronia.

⁶and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

⁶A tera pea ahau e noho roa ki a koutou, taka noa pea te hotoke, kia ai koutou hei arahi i ahau ki te wahi e haere atu ai ahau.

⁷for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

⁷E kore hoki ahau e pai kia titiro haere noa ahau i a koutou aianei; e tumanako ana hoki ahau kia whakatau iho ahau ki a koutou, ki te tukua e te Ariki.

⁸and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,

⁸Engari ka noho ahau ki Epeha taea noatia te Petekoha;

⁹for a door to me hath been opened — great and effectual — and withstanders [are] many.

⁹Kua tuwhera mai nei he kuwaha rahi ki ahau, he mahi nui, a tera ano te tokomaha o te hunga tautohe.

¹⁰And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

¹⁰¶ Na, ki te tae atu a Timoti, meinga kia kaua ia e noho wehi i roto i a koutou: e mahi ana hoki ia i te mahi a te Ariki, e penei ana me ahau nei:

¹¹no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;

¹¹Na reira kei whakahawea tetahi ki a ia; engari ata arahina ia i runga i te rangimarie, kia haere mai ai ki ahau: e tatari ana hoki ahau ki a ia, ratou ko nga teina.

¹²and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.

¹²Na, ko to tatou teina, ko Aporo, nui atu taku tohe ki a ia kia haere atu ratou ko nga teina ki a koutou: otira kihai rawa ia i pai kia haere atu i tenei wa: otira mana e haere atu a te wa e watea ai.

¹³Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

¹³¶ Kia mataara, e tu i runga i te whakapono, whakatane, kia kaha.

¹⁴let all your things be done in love.

¹⁴Kia meatia a koutou mea katoa i runga i te aroha.

¹⁵And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves —

¹⁵He tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina; e mohio ana koutou ki nga tangata o te whare o Tepana, ko te matamua tera o Akaia, kua tuku ano i a ratou hei kaimahi mo te hunga tapu;

¹⁶that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with [us] and labouring;

¹⁶Kia ngohengohe hoki koutou ki nga tangata pera, ki te hunga katoa ano e mahi tahi ana, e uaua ana.

¹⁷and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;

¹⁷Hari tonu hoki ahau ki te haerenga mai o Tepana, ratou ko Porotunatu, ko Akaiku: na ratou hoki i rite ai nga mea i kore i a koutou.

¹⁸for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who [are] such.

¹⁸I ora hoki i a ratou toku wairua, o koutou hoki: na kia mohio koutou ki te hunga pera.

¹⁹Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;

¹⁹¶ Tenei nga hahi o Ahia te oha atu nei ki a koutou. He maha hoki nga mihi atu a Akuira raua ko Pirihiria i roto i te Ariki, a te hahi hoki i to raua whare.

²⁰salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.

²⁰Tenei nga teina katoa te oha atu nei ki a koutou. Oha atu ki a koutou ano, kei te kihi tapu.

²¹The salutation of [me] Paul with my hand;

²¹Ko te oha tenei aku, a Paora, he mea na toku ringa ake.

²²if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ — let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!

²²Ki te kore tetahi e aroha ki te Ariki, kia waiho ia hei Anatema Maranata.

²³The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you;

²³Kia tau te aroha noa o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, ki a koutou.

²⁴my love [is] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

²⁴Hei a koutou katoa toku aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. Amine.
