< Philippians 2 >

1 If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,
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 fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;

3 [let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᏛᏁᎮᏍᏗ ᎠᏗᏒᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎᏉ ᎠᏢᏈᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏗ; ᎡᎳᏗᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᏕᏨᏅ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎢᏥᏏᏴᏫᎭ ᎤᏟ ᏂᏕᏥᎸᏉᏕᏍᏗ ᎠᏂᏐᎢ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎢᏨᏒ.

5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏖᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏧᏓᏅᏖ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᏌ;
6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏣᎦᏟᎶᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎦᏓᎾᏌᎲᏍᎦ ᏰᎵᏍᎨ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏄᏛᏅᎢ.
7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;

8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.

9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that 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 heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏌ ᏚᏙᎥ ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏧᎾᎵᏂᏆᏁᏗᏱ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᎠᏁᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎠᏁᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎭᏫᏂᏗᏢ ᎠᏁᎯ;
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.

12 So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather 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 the willing and the working according to [his] good pleasure.
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎤᏰᎸᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏕᎤᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎭ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏚᎸᏗᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ.
14 Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,
ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏂᏗᏣᏓᏕᎵᏎᎲᎾ ᎠᎴ ᏥᏣᏗᏒᎯᎲᎾ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ;
15 that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear 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 forth [the] word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.
ᎢᏥᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎬᏂᏛ ᎠᏓᏁᎯ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᎠᏆᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗᏱ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᎦ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᏉ ᏗᎩᏍᏆᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎᏉ ᏗᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.
17 But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all.
ᎥᎥ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏳ ᏯᏆᏓᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᏥᎸ ᎢᏤᎶᎲᎢ ᎠᎴ ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏨᏯᎵᎪᏁᎭ ᎢᏣᎵᎮᎵᎬᎢ.
18 In like manner do ye also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏫᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏓ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏣᎵᎮᎵᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏍᎩᏯᎵᎪᎲᏏ ᎠᏴ ᎦᎵᎡᎵᎬᎢ.
19 But I hope in [the] Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that I also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎠᏋᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᏗᎹᏗ ᏥᏅᏍᏗᏱ ᏗᏤᎲ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎾ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎠᎩᎦᎵᏍᏓᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᎦᏙᎴᎰᏒᎭ ᏂᏣᏛᎿᎭᏕᎬᎢ.
20 For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.
ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎩᎶ ᏲᎩᎾᎵᎪᎭ ᎤᏠᏱ ᎤᏓᏅᏔᏩᏕᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎬᏩᎦᏌᏯᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏂᏣᏛᎿᎭᏕᎬᎢ.
21 For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.
ᎾᏂᎥᏰᏃ ᎤᏅᏒᏉ ᎤᎾᏤᎵ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏂᏲᎰᎢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎡᏥᎦᏔᎭ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏥᎪᎵᏰᎥᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏪᏥ ᎤᏙᏓ ᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏙᎸ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᎵᏱᎸᏍᏗᏱ ᏓᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ.
23 Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎠᏋᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏅᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᎬᏪᏅᏛ ᎦᏙᎴᎣᏒᏉ ᎢᏯᏉᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
24 but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon come;

25 but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,
ᎠᏗᎾ ᎠᏎ ᏱᏥᏅᏒ ᎠᏇᎵᏒ ᎢᏆ’ᎶᏓᏔ ᏫᏥᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎩᏅᏟ ᎠᎴ ᎣᎩᎾᏖᏆᎶᎯ ᏙᎩᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᎩᎾᎵᎪᎯ ᎣᏍᏗᏯᏫᏍᎩ, ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎡᏥᏅᏏᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎸᏛ ᎠᎩᏩᏛᏗᏱ ᎠᎩᏂᎪᎯᏎᎲᎢ.
26 since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;
ᎤᏣᏘᏰᏃ ᎤᏚᎵᏍᎬᎩ ᎢᏥᎪᏩᏛᏗᏱ ᏂᏥᎥᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎦᎨᏛ ᎤᏓᏅᏔᏩᏕᎬᎩ, ᏅᏓᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎢᏣᏛᎦᏅ ᎤᏢᏨᎢ.
27 for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᏢᎬᎩ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎴᏉ ᏄᏲᎱᏒᎩ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏪᏙᎵᏨᎩ; ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᎤᏩᏒ, ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᏉ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎶᏏᎶᏛ ᎤᏲ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ.
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that I might be the less sorrowful.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏟ ᏞᎩᏳ ᏥᏅᎵ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎿᎭᏉ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎢᎡᏥᎪᎥᎭ, ᎨᏣᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᎡᏍᎦ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎤᏲ ᏯᏆᏓᏅᏔᏩᏕᎦ.
29 Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏤᏣᏓᏂᎸᎩ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏕᎩ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎠᏰᎸᏗ ᎢᏨᏓ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᎾᏍᏗ ᏕᏥᎸᏉᏕᏍᏗ;
30 because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me.
