Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy servants of Christ Jesus To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are being in Philippi with [the] overseers and deacons:
Na Paora, raua ko Timoti, na nga pononga a Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga tapu katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu e noho ana i Piripai, ratou ko nga pihopa, ko nga rikona.
2 Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa, me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
3 I thank the God of mine upon every the remembrance of you
E whakawhetai ana ahau ki toku Atua i oku maharatanga katoa ki a koutou,
4 always in every supplication of mine for all of you with joy the supplication making
I aku inoinga katoa, e puta ana taku inoi mo koutou i nga wa katoa i runga i te hari,
5 for the partnership of you in the gospel from (the *no) first day until now;
Mo koutou i uru tahi mai hei tautoko i te rongopai, mai o te ra tuatahi a moroki noa nei;
6 having been persuaded of [the] very thing this, that the [One] having begun in you a work good will complete [it] until [the] day of Christ Jesus;
Pumau tonu toku whakaaro ki tenei mea nei ano, tera te kaitimata o te mahi pai i roto i a koutou e whakaoti, taea noatia te ra o Ihu Karaiti;
7 Even as it is right for me myself this to feel about all of you since having I in the heart you, in both the chains of mine and in the defense and in confirmation of the gospel fellow partakers with me of grace all you are.
He tika hoki kia penei oku whakaaro ki a koutou katoa, no te mea kei roto koutou i toku ngakau; ara, ahakoa i ahau nei i te here, ahakoa i ahau e korero whakaara nei, e whakau nei i te rongopai, ka uru tahi koutou katoa me ahau ki te aroha noa.
8 Witness for of mine (is *k) God how I long after all you in [the] affection of Christ Jesus.
Ko te Atua hoki hei kaiwhakaatu moku, mo te nui o toku koingo ki a koutou katoa, i runga i te ngakau aroha o Ihu Karaiti.
9 And this I pray, that the love of you yet more and more may abound in knowledge and in all discernment
Ko taku inoi ano tenei, kia nui haere tonu to koutou aroha i runga i te matauranga, i nga mahara mohio katoa;
10 for to approve you the [things] being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto [the] day of Christ
Kia whakaaetia ai e koutou nga mea papai; kia kore ai o koutou tinihanga, o koutou he, a taea noatia te ra o te Karaiti;
11 filled (with [the] fruit *N+KO) of righteousness (that [is] *N+kO) through Jesus Christ to [the] glory and praise of God.
Kia ki ai hoki i nga hua o te tika, e puta mai ana i a Ihu Karaiti, hei kororia, hei whakamoemiti i te Atua.
12 To know now you I want, brothers, that the [things] concerning me myself really to [the] advancement of the gospel have turned out,
Na e mea ana ahau kia matau koutou, e oku teina, ki te tukunga iho o nga mea i pa ki ahau, pai tonu hei whakaneke ake i te rongopai;
13 so as for the chains of mine clearly known in Christ to have become in all the palace guard and to the rest all
Kua kitea hoki oku mekameka mo ta te Karaiti, puta noa i te wahi katoa o nga hoia tiaki i te kingi, i era atu wahi katoa ano hoki;
14 and most of the brothers in [the] Lord already trusting by the chains of mine more abundantly to dare fearlessly the word (of the God *O) to speak.
Kua ngakau nui hoki te tokomaha o nga teina i roto i te Ariki, i oku mekameka nei, hira rawa ano hoki to ratou maia ki te korero i te kupu, kahore he mataku.
15 Some indeed even from envy and strife, some however also from goodwill Christ are proclaiming.
Ko etahi na te hae, na te totohe, i kauwhau ai i a te Karaiti; ko etahi na te whakaaro pai;
16 the [ones] indeed out of love knowing that for defense of the gospel I am appointed;
Ko etahi na te aroha, e mahara ana kua waiho ahau hei korero whakaara i te rongopai:
17 the [ones] however out of selfish ambition Christ are proclaiming not purely supposing tribulation (to add *N+kO) to the chains of mine.
Ko etahi na te totohe ta ratou kauwhau i a te Karaiti, ehara i te whakaaro pono, e mea ana ki te whakatupu mamae moku e mekameka nei.
18 What then? Only (that *no) in every way whether in pretext or in truth Christ is proclaimed, And in this I rejoice Yes and I will rejoice.
A tena, pehea iho? Anei ra, ahakoa tinihanga, ahakoa pono, e kauwhautia ana a te Karaiti; a e hari ana ahau ki tenei, ae ra, ka hari ano ahau.
19 I know for that this for me will turn out to deliverance through your prayer and [the] provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ
E matau ana hoki ahau ka ai tenei hei whakaora moku, i a koutou na ka inoi, i te Wairua ano hoki o Ihu Karaiti ka homai;
20 according to the earnest expectation and hope of mine that in no [thing] I will be ashamed but in all boldness as always also now will be magnified Christ in the body of mine, whether through life or through death.
Ko taku hoki tenei e whakamau tonu nei, e tumanako atu nei, e kore ahau e whakama i tetahi mea, engari ka tino maia ahau, a ka pera me to nga wa katoa, ka whakanuia ano a te Karaiti aianei e toku tinana, ahakoa i te ora, ahakoa i te mate.
21 To me myself for to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain.
Ki ahau hoki ko te ora ko te Karaiti, ko te mate he taonga.
22 If [I am] however to live in flesh, this for me [is the] fruit of labor; And what will I choose Not I know!
Ki te ora ia ahau i te kikokiko, mehemea ko te hua tenei o taku mahi, heoi kahore ahau e mohio ko te aha taku e whiriwhiri ai.
23 I am pressed (now *N+kO) between the two, the desire having for [myself] to depart and with Christ to be, very much (for *no) more better;
E karapitia mai ana hoki ahau e nga mea e rua, he hiahia nei toku ki te haere, kia noho ai ahau ki a te Karaiti; ko te mea tino pai rawa hoki tera:
24 but to remain in the flesh [is] more necessary for the sake of you.
Ko te noho ranei i te kikokiko, ko te mea pai ake hoki tena mo koutou.
25 And this having been persuaded of I know that I will remain and (will continue *N+kO) with all of you for your progress and joy of the faith,
Na ka u nei toku whakaaro ki tenei, e matau ana ahau tera ahau e noho, ae ra, ka noho iho ahau ki a koutou katoa, hei whakaneke ake, hei whakahari i a koutou i runga i te whakapono;
26 so that the boasting of you may abound to Christ Jesus in me myself through my coming again to you.
Kia hira rawa ai to koutou whakamanamana i roto i a Karaiti Ihu ki ahau, moku ka noho tahi ano me koutou.
27 Only worthily of the gospel of Christ do conduct yourselves, so that whether having come and having seen you or being absent (I shall hear *N+kO) the [things] concerning you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,
Engari kia tika ta koutou whakahaere, kia rite ki ta te rongopai o te Karaiti: na, ahakoa tae atu ahau kia kite i a koutou, ngaro mai ranei, kia rongo tonu atu ahau ki to koutou ahua, kei te tu koutou i runga i te wairua kotahi, i te ngakau kota hi, me te tohe tahi ano ki te whakapono o te rongopai:
28 and not being frightened in nothing by those opposing [you]; which is to them (indeed *k) a demonstration of destruction, (to you *N+kO) however of salvation, and this from God;
Kahore hoki he wehi ki tetahi mea a o koutou hoariri: he tohu hoki tenei ki a ratou mo te whakangaromanga, ki a koutou ia mo te ora, i ahu mai i te Atua.
29 For to you it has been granted concerning Christ, not only in Him to believe, but also concerning Him to suffer
No te mea kua hoatu ki a koutou hei meatanga ma koutou ki a te Karaiti, ehara i te mea ko te whakapono anake ki a ia, engari ko te mate ano hoki mo te whakaaro ki a ia;
30 the same conflict having such as (you saw *N+kO) in me myself and now you hear of in me myself.
Kei a koutou hoki taua pakanga i kite ra koutou ki ahau, a ka rongo nei inaianei kei ahau.
