< 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,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎦᎶᏁᏛᏱ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏓᏄᏬᎯᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎬᏖᏆᎶᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎥᏓᏘᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏓᏅᏘ ᎨᏒ ᎡᎮᏍᏗ,
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
ᎢᏥᎧᎵᏣ ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎬᎢ, ᎤᏠᏱ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᎢ, ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏕᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒᎢ, ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ, ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏗᏣᏓᏅᏙ.
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎠᏗᏒᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎᏉ ᎠᏢᏈᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏗ; ᎡᎳᏗᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᏕᏨᏅ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎤᏟ ᏂᏕᏥᎸᏉᏕᏍᏗ ᎠᏂᏐᎢ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎢᏨᏒ.
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏩᏒᏉ ᎤᏤᎵ ᏳᎦᏌᏯᏍᏕᏍᏗ, ᎾᏂᎥᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏂᏐᎢ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᎾᏤᎵᎦ.
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏖᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏧᏓᏅᏖ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᏌ;
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏣᎦᏟᎶᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎦᏓᎾᏌᎲᏍᎦ ᏰᎵᏍᎨ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏄᏛᏅᎢ.
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

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

9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎦᎸᎳᏗᏳ ᎤᏌᎳᏓᏅ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎸ ᏧᏙᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏟ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏧᎾᏙᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

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

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.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᏂᎪᎯᎸᏉ ᏥᏦᎯᏳᎲᏍᎪᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᏴ ᏥᎦᏔᎲᏉ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎩᎪᏁᎸᎢ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᏗᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏏ ᎡᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎢᏥᎾᏰᏍᎬ ᎠᎴ ᏕᏥᎾᏫᏍᎬᎢ;
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏰᎸᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏕᎤᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎭ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏚᎸᏗᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ.
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏂᏗᏣᏓᏕᎵᏎᎲᎾ ᎠᎴ ᏥᏣᏗᏒᎯᎲᎾ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ;
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,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏁᏥᎳᏫᏎᎲᎾ ᎠᎴ ᏂᏣᏠᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏪᏥ, ᎦᏰᏧᎢᏍᏙᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎢᏣᏓᏑᏴ ᎤᎾᏓᏥᏃᏍᏆᏗᏰᏛ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎾᎪᎸᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏁᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᏁᎲ ᏕᏥᎸᏌᏓᏗᎭ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎢᎦ ᏗᏣᏘᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ;
16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
ᎥᎥ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏳ ᏯᏆᏓᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᏥᎸ ᎢᏤᎶᎲᎢ ᎠᎴ ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏨᏯᎵᎪᏁᎭ ᎢᏣᎵᎮᎵᎬᎢ.
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏫᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏣᎵᎮᎵᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏍᎩᏯᎵᎪᎲᏏ ᎠᏴ ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎬᎢ.
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.

20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᏲᎩᎾᎵᎪᎭ ᎤᏠᏱ ᎤᏓᏅᏔᏩᏕᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎬᏩᎦᏌᏯᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏂᏣᏛᎿᎭᏕᎬᎢ.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

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.

23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎠᏋᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏅᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᎬᏪᏅᏛ ᎦᏙᎴᎣᏒᏉ ᎢᏯᏉᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

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,

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

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.

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.

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

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.
