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,
Na, ki te mea he whakamarie kei roto i a te Karaiti, ki te mea he pehi mamae to te aroha, ki te mea he whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua, ki te mea he ngakau aroha, he mahi tohu,
2 fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;
Kia rite toku hari i a koutou, kia kotahi te whakaaro, kia kotahi te aroha, huihuia nga ngakau i runga i te whakaaro kotahi.
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;
Kei meinga tetahi mea i runga i te wehewehe, i te whakapehapeha ranei, engari i runga i te ngakau papaku, me te whakanui a tetahi i tetahi ki runga ake i a ia;
4 regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of others also.
Kaua tena o koutou na e titiro ki ona mea anake, engari me titiro ano tena, tena o koutou ki nga mea a etahi atu.
5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;
Ko tenei hei whakaaro mo koutou, ko tera i a Karaiti Ihu:
6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;
Ahakoa hoki i a ia te ahua o te Atua, kihai i meinga e ia te rite ki te Atua hei taonga kapo mai;
7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;
Engari i mea i a ia ano kia poaha, ka mau ki te ahua o te pononga, ka meinga kia rite ki te tangata;
8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.
A ka kitea nei tona ahua e rite ana ki to te tangata, ka whakapapaku ia i a ia, ka meinga kia ngohengohe ahakoa ki te mate, ae ra, ki te mate o te ripeka.
9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,
Na konei whakateiteitia ake ana ia e te Atua, a hoatu ana ki a ia te ingoa nui atu i nga ingoa katoa;
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],
Kia tuku ai i runga i te ingoa o Ihu nga turi katoa, o nga mea i te rangi, o nga mea i te whenua, o nga mea i raro i te whenua;
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.
A kia whakaae nga arero katoa ko Ihu Karaiti te Ariki, hei whakakororia i te Atua Matua.
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,
Heoi e oku teina aroha, he mea tonu ia na koutou te ngohengohe ki ahau i nga wa katoa, ehara i te mea i oku wa anake i kona, engari rawa ia inaianei i ahau kahore i kona, na whakaotia to koutou whakaoranga i runga i te wehi, i te wiri;
13 for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to [his] good pleasure.
Ko te Atua hoki te kaimahi i roto i a koutou o te hiahia, o te mahi, hei mea i tana i pai ai.
14 Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,
I a koutou mahi katoa kaua te amuamu, te tautohetohe;
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,
Kia kore ai koutou e whaikupuria, kia tapatahi ai, he tamariki kohakore na te Atua, i waenganui o te whakatupuranga tutu, parori ke, kei roto nei koutou i a ratou e tiaho ana hei rama i te ao;
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.
Kia mau pu ki te kupu o te ora; kia hari ai ahau a te ra o te Karaiti, kihai ahau i oma noa, kihai i mahi noa.
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.
Na, ki te ringihia ahau ki runga ki te patunga tapu, ki nga mahi a to koutou whakapono, ka hari ahau, ina ka hari tahi me koutou katoa.
18 In like manner do ye also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
Waihoki ko koutou, kia hari, hari tahi me ahau.
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.
Otiia e mea ana ahau i roto i te Ariki, i a Ihu, ki te tono tata atu i a Timoti ki a koutou, kia ora ai hoki toku ngakau, ina mohio ahau ki to koutou ahua.
20 For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.
Kahore hoki oku tangata rite te ngakau ki tona, hei mahara pono ki a koutou mea.
21 For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Ko ta te katoa hoki e rapu nei, ko ta ratou ake, kahore nga mea a Ihu Karaiti.
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.
Ko koutou ia e matau ana ki ona tohu, he pera tana me ta te tamaiti ki te matua, ko toku hoa ia ki te kawe haere i te rongopai.
23 Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:
Ko ia taku e mea nei kia tonoa wawetia atu, ina kite ahau i te tukunga iho ki ahau.
24 but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon come;
Otiia e u ana toku whakaaro i roto i te Ariki, ka hohoro toku tae atu.
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,
I ea ano ia ahau me tono atu ki a koutou a Epaporitu, toku teina, toku hoa mahi, toku hoa hoia, na koutou ia karere, he kaimahi ano hoki i nga mea i matea e ahau.
26 since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;
Koinga tonu hoki ia ki a koutou katoa, kanohi rawa, no te mea i rongo koutou he turoro ia.
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.
He turoro ra hoki ia, tata pu ki te mate: otira i tohungia ia e te Atua; ehara ano i te mea ko ia anake, ko ahau ano hoki, kei tapiritia he pouri ki toku pouri.
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that I might be the less sorrowful.
Koia i nui rawa ai toku ngakau ki te tono atu i a ia, kia kite ai ano koutou i a ia, kia hari ai, kia taharahara iho ai hoki toku pouri.
29 Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;
Kia nui te hari i runga i te Ariki, ina tae atu ia; whakahonoretia ano hoki nga pera;
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.
No te mea na te mahi ki a te Karaiti i tata ai ia ki te mate, te ihupuku ki te ora, kia rite ai i a ia nga mahi ki ahau, kihai nei i rite i a koutou.
