Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
ᏉᎳ ᎠᎴ ᏗᎹᏗ, ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎬᏩᏂᏅᏏᏙᎯ, ᏫᏙᏍᏙᏪᎳᏏ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᏌ ᎬᏬᎯᏳᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏈᎵᎩᏱ ᎠᏁᎯ, ᏙᏍᎦᏠᏯᏍᏗᎭ ᏗᏂᎦᏘᏯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᏯᏙᎯᎯ;
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
ᎠᏆᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏥᏯᎵᎡᎵᏤᎰ ᎢᏳᏍᏗᎭ ᎢᏨᏯᏅᏓᏗᎬᎢ,
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᏂᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᏂᏥᏔᏲᎯᎲ ᏂᎯ ᏂᏥᎥ ᎡᏥᏙᎵᏍᏗᏱ, ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏛ ᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎢᏣᏖᏆᎶᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏕᏥᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏒᎢ, ᎢᎬᏱᏱ ᎢᎦ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎪᎯ ᎢᏯᏍᏘ;
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏰᎵᏎᏗᏱ ᏂᏥᎥᎢ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎠᎩᎾᏫᏱ ᎢᏨᏍᏆᏂᎪᏛᎢ; ᎾᏍᏉᏰᏃ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬ ᎠᎴ ᏥᏍᏓᏱᏗᏍᎬ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏂᎯ ᏂᏥᎥ ᎢᏤᎳᏗᏍᏗᎭ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎥᎩᏙᎵᎬᎢ.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎠᏆᏤᎵ ᎠᎦᏔᎯ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᏒᎵ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎬᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
ᎠᎴ ᏥᏔᏲᎯᎭ ᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᎲ ᎠᏏ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᎵᏠᏯᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎪᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎪᏩᏛᏗᏱ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏚᏓᎴᎿᎭᎥᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏣᏠᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᏣᏓᎿᎭᏍᏆᎶᏍᏗᏍᎬᎾ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᎦ ᎠᎵᏱᎶᎸ ᎬᏗᏍᎩ;
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎧᎵᏨᎯ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏓᎴᏅᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎸᏉᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏩᏁᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ.
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᎠᏆᏚᎵᎭ ᎢᏥᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎫᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎾᏆᎵᏍᏓᏁᎸᎢ ᎤᏁᏉᎢᏍᏗᏱᏉ ᏄᏩᏁᎸ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ;
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬ ᎥᏆᎸᎥᎢ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎦᏁᎸ ᏂᎬ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎬᎾᏛᏉ;
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᎪᏗᏳ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎥᏆᎸᎥ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ ᏚᎾᎵᎪᏒ ᏚᎾᏓᏅᏛᎢ, ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎾᏂᎾᏰᏍᎬᎾ ᏄᎾᎵᏍᏔᏅ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎾᏂᏍᎦᎢᎲᎾ ᎤᏂᏃᎮᏗᏱ.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
ᎢᎦᏛ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᎠᏛᏳᎨᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏗᏒᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎾᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎠᎾᎵᏥᏙᎲᏍᎦ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏂᏃᎮᎭ, ᎢᎦᏛᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᏒᎢ.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏑᎾᏓᎴᎩ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎾᎵᏥᏙᎲᏍᎦ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏂᏃᎮᎭ ᎠᏗᏒᏍᏗᏉ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎾᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᏄᎾᏠᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏯᏅᏗᎭ, ᎤᏂᏁᏉᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᎭ ᏥᎩᎵᏲᎬ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
ᎠᏂᏐᎢᏍᎩᏂ ᎬᎩᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ, ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᎥᎩᏁᏤᎸᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
ᎦᏙᎨᏃ? ᎤᏁᎳᎩ, ᏂᎦᎥᏉ ᎾᎾᏛᏁᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏱᎾᎾᏛᏁᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯ ᏳᏂᏰᎸᎭ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏥᏃᎮᎭ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᎿᎭᏂ ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎦ, ᎥᎥ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎ ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎨᏍᏗ.
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
ᏥᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᎩᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᏭᎵᏰᎢᎶᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏣᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏔᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏓᏅᏙ ᎥᎩᏁᎲᎢ;
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᏆᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎠᏋᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏕᎰᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᏂᎦᎥᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᏥᏍᎦᎢᎲᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏥᏄᏍᏙᏉ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎪᎯ, ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏥᏰᎸ ᎬᏗ, ᎾᏍᏉ ᎬᏃᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᏲᎱᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
ᎠᏏᏰᏃ ᏯᏆᎴᏂᏙᎸ ᎦᎶᏅᏛ ᏥᎸᏉᏙᏗ, ᏯᎩᏲᎱᏒᏃ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏁᏉᏤᏗ.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
ᎢᏳᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᏇᏓᎸ ᏯᏆᎴᏂᏙᎸ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎩᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᏗ ᏓᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᎪᎲᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᏱᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏑᏰᏍᏗᏱ.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
ᏔᎵᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏓᎴᎩ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏍᏓᏱᏳ ᎾᏆᎵᏍᏓᏁᎭ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᎠᏆᏚᎵᏍᎬ ᎠᏆᏂᎩᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏤᎲ ᏩᏆᏕᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏭᏓᎪᎾᏛᏛ ᎤᏟ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏥᎩ;
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
ᎤᏍᏓᎸᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎠᏆᎴᏂᏓᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏟ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᏂᎯ.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏄᏍᏗ ᏣᏉᎯᏳᎭ, ᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᎠᏆᎴᏂᏓᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᎴ ᏂᏥᎥ ᎢᏨᏰᎳᏗᏓᏍᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᏁᏉᏤᏗᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎢᏣᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒᎢ.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᏣᎵᎮᎵᎬ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ, ᎠᏴ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵᏁ ᏫᏨᎷᏤᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎠᏗᎾ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏧᎵᎶᎲᏍᎦ ᏂᏣᏛᏁᎵᏙᎮᏍᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏃ ᏱᏫᏨᎷᏤᎸ ᎠᎴ ᏱᏫᏨᎪᎥ, ᎠᎴ ᏯᎩᎪᏁᎸᏉ, ᏱᎦᏛᎬᎦ ᏂᏣᏛᎿᎭᏕᎬᎢ, ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᏕᏥᏙᎬ ᏌᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏙᎩᎯ, ᏌᏉ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏗ ᎬᏗ, ᎠᏖᏆᎶᎯ ᎢᏣᏟᏂᎬᏁᏗᏱ ᎢᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ.
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏛᏁᎲ ᎨᏣᏡᏗᏍᎩ ᏱᏥᏍᎦᏍᏓᏁᎮᏍᏗ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏅᏁᎯ ᎨᏥᏛᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏨᏁᎯ ᎡᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
ᏂᎯᏰᏃ ᎡᏥᏁᎸᎯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎥᏝ ᎡᏦᎢᏳᏗᏱᏉ ᎤᏩᏒ, ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎡᏥᎩᎵᏤᏗᏱ;
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
