Philippians 2

1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi ha fiemālie, kapau ʻoku ai ha fiemālie ʻi he ʻofa, kapau ʻoku ai ha feohi ʻoe Laumālie, kapau ʻoku ai ha ʻofa ongongofua mo ha loto ʻofa,

2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

Mou fakakakato ʻeku fiefia, ke mou felototatau pe, ʻo maʻu ʻae ʻofa pe taha, ke mou ʻulungāanga taha pe, mo uouangataha pe.

3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

‌ʻOua naʻa fai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he fakakikihi, pe ʻi he manako ki he fakamālō launoa; ka ʻi he loto angavaivai ke fetoutou femahalo lelei ʻaki hake taki taha ki hono kāinga ʻiate ia.

4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

Ke ʻoua naʻa taki taha tokanga ki heʻene ngaahi meʻa ʻaʻana pe, kae taki taha tokanga foki ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae niʻihi.

5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae loto ni, ʻaia foki naʻe ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:

6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

Ko ia, ʻi heʻene ʻi he tatau mo e ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe ia ko ha faʻaoa ke na taha mo e ʻOtua:

7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

Ka naʻa ne fakamasivesivaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻae tatau mo e tamaioʻeiki, pea fanauʻi ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata:

8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata, naʻa ne fakamoʻulaloaʻi ia, pea talangofua ki he mate, ʻio, ʻae mate ʻi he ʻakau.

9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

Pea ko ia kuo hakeakiʻi ai ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻo ne foaki kiate ia ʻae huafa ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe ʻi he hingoa kotoa pē:

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

Koeʻuhi ke tuʻulutui ki he huafa ʻo Sisu ʻae tui ʻo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he langi mo māmani, mo e lalo māmani;

11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Pea ke fakahā ʻe he ʻelelo kotoa pē ko e ʻEiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua ko e Tamai.

12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Ko ia, ʻe hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou talangofua maʻuaipē, ʻo ʻikai ʻi hoku ʻao pe, kae lahi ʻaupito eni ʻi heʻeku mamaʻo, mou ngāue ke lavaʻi hoʻomou moʻui ʻamoutolu ʻi he manavahē mo e tetetete.

13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

He ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne ngāue ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi hono finangalo lelei ke mou loto mo fai ki ai.

14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,

Fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo taʻelāunga mo e taʻefakakikihi:

15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

Koeʻuhi ke mou taʻehalaia mo taʻekovi, ko e fānau taʻevalokiʻia ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai anga pikopiko mo fefeka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku mou ulo atu ki ai, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi maama ʻo māmani;

16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

‌ʻO takiloa atu ʻae lea ʻoe moʻui; koeʻuhi ke u fiefia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Kalaisi, ʻi he ʻikai teu lele noa pē, pe ngāue taʻeʻaonga.

17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

‌ʻIo, pea kapau ʻe felingiʻaki au mo e feilaulau mo e ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tui, ʻoku ou fiefia, mo nekeneka, fakataha mo kimoutolu kotoa pē.

18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

Pea ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia foki ke mou fiefia, mo nekeneka fakataha mo au.

19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

Ka ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu, ke toe siʻi, peau fekau atu ʻa Timote kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u fiemālie lelei, ʻo kau ka ʻilo pe ʻoku mou fēfē.

20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

He ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate au ha taha ʻoku na loto tatau mo ia, ke tokanga moʻoni kiate kimoutolu.

21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

He ʻoku kumi kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻanautolu, kae ʻikai ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻa Kalaisi Sisu.

22 But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

Ka ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoʻona, koeʻuhi, ʻo hangē ko e foha mo e tamai, kuo pehē ʻene ngāue mo au ʻi he ongoongolelei.

23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ke fekau atu leva ia, ʻo kau ka ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻe fai kiate au.

24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

Ka ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻEiki ʻe vave foki ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻaʻaku.

25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

Ka naʻaku mahalo, ʻe lelei ʻeku fekau atu kiate kimoutolu ʻa Epafalotaito, ko hoku tokoua, mo e kaunga ngāue, mo e kaunga tau, ka ko hoʻomou faifekau, pea ko ia naʻa ne tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi masiva.

26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

He naʻe manatu lahi ia kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, pea naʻe mātuʻaki mamahi, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fanongo naʻe mahaki ia.

27 For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

He ko e moʻoni naʻe mahaki ia ʻo mei mate: ka naʻe ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia; ka naʻe ʻikai kiate ia pe, ka kiate au foki, telia naʻaku maʻu ʻae mamahi ki he mamahi.

28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

Ko ia ne u fekau toʻotoʻo ai ia, koeʻuhi, ka mou ka toe mamata kiate ia, ke mou fiefia, pea ke siʻi hifo ai ʻeku mamahi.

29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

Ko ia ke maʻu ia ʻi he ʻEiki ʻi he fiefia kotoa pe; pea mou fakaʻapaʻapa ki he kakai pehē:

30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

He koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻi he ngāue ʻa Kalaisi, naʻe ofi ai ia ki he mate, ʻo ʻikai mamae ia ki heʻene moʻui, ka ne tongia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he tauhi kiate au.
