< 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:
O PAULO a me Timoteo na kauwa a Iesu Kristo, na ka poe haipule a pau iloko o Kristo Iesu o noho ana i Pilipi, me na lunakiai a me na diakono:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
He aloha ia oukou, a me ka malu mai ke Akua mai o ko kakou Makua, a me ka Haku Iesu Kristo.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Ke hoomaikai aku nei au i ko'u Akua i na manawa a pau a'u i hoomanao ai ia oukou;
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
I na pule a pau a'u no oukou a pau, ua pule no au me ka olioli,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
No ko oukou hoolauna ana i ka euanelio, mai ka la mua mai a i neia wa.
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.
Ua maopopo ko'u manao i keia mea, o ka mea nanai hoomakai ka hana maikai iloko o oukou, nana no ia e hoomau a hiki i ka la o Iesu Kristo.
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.
He mea pono ia no'u e manao aku ai pela no oukou a pau, no ka mea, eia no oukou iloko o kuu naau, i kuu wa o paa ana, a me kuu hoakaka ana, a me ka hookupaa ana i ka euaoelio; ua loaa pu la oukou a pau kuu lokomaikaiia mai.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
No ka mea, o ke Akua no ko'u hoike maka, he nui kuu makemake aku ia oukou a pau, e like me ke aloha o Iesu Kristo.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
O keia hoi ka'u e pule aku nei, i mahuahua loa aku ko oukou aloha ma ka naauao a me ka akamai
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
I hoomaopopo hoi oukou i na mea maikai loa; oiaio oukou, i hihia ole hoi, a hiki i ka la o Kristo;
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
I hoopihaia hoi oukou i na hua o ka pono, i mea e hoonani ai a e hoomaikaiia aku ai ke Akua mao Iesu Kristo la.
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,
E na hoahanau, ke ake nei au e ike oukou, o na mea i loaa ia'u, ua lilo ia i mea e palahalaha'i ka eoanelio.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
No ka mea, o kuu paa ana no Kristo, na ike pono ia ma ka halealii, a ma na wahi e ae a pau.
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.
A he nui na hoahanau iloko o ka Haku i hooikaikaia i kuu pahao ana, ua ikaika nui ae lakou e hai aku i ka olelo me ka makau ole.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Ua hai aku nae kekahi poo ia Kristo me ka huahuwa a me ka hakaka; a o kekahi poe me ka manao aloha.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Ua hai aku kela poe ia Kriato me ka hakaka, aole me ka manao pono; ke manao la lakou e hoonui mai i ka ino o ko'u paahao ana.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
A o keia poo me ke aloha, ke ike nei lakou, ua hoonohoia au no ka hoakaka ana'ku i ka euanelio.
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.
Heaha la hoi! a ina ma ka hookamani, ina hoi paha ma ka oiaio i haiia'ku ai o Kristo; ke olioli nei au ilaila, oia, e olioli mau ana hoi au.
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
No ka mea, ke ike nei au, e lilo ana keia i mea ola no'u ma ka oukou pule, a me ke kokuaia mai e ka Uhane o Iesu Kristo;
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.
E like me ke kuko nui a me ka manaolana o'u, i ole au e hilahila kekahi mea; aka, ma ka ikaika nui me ia e mau ana, pela hoi i neia manawa, e hoonaniia i o Kristo ma ko'u kino, ke ola ia, a ke make paha.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
No ka mea, a i ola no au, no Kristo ia, a i make hoi, o ko'u pomaikai ia.
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.
Ina hoi au e ola ma ke kino nei, oia ka pono o ka'u hana ana: aka, o ka'u mea pono e koho aku ai, aole au e ike ia.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
No ka mea, he pilikia ko'u iwaena o na mea elua, o ke ake e hele a e noho me Kristo; oia ka maikai loa;
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Aka, o ka noho ma ke kino, ka mea ia e pono io ai oukou.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
A ua maopopo kuu manao i keia, ua ike au e ola ana au a o noho ana me oukou a pau, i mea e mahuahua'i ko oukou olioli ma ka manaoio;
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
I nui ae hoi ko oukou hauoli no'u ma o Kristo Iesu la, i kuu hiki hou ana'ku io oukou la.
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;
E hana wale oukou ma ka pono o ka euanelio a Kristo; a ina paha e hele aku au e ike ia oukou, ma paha hoi ma kahi e e lohe auanei au i ka oukou mau mea, e ike no na kupaa oukou ma ka nhane hookahi, me ka manao hookahi, a me ka hooikaika pu ana i ka manaoio o ka euanelio;
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.
Aole hoi i hooweliweli iki ia mai oukou e ka poe enemi; he hoailona ia ia lakou no ka make, aka, ia oukou, he hoailona ia no ke ola, a oia hoi mai ke Akua mai.
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,
No ka mea, ua haawi lokomaikai ia mai ia ia oukou no Kristo, aole ka manaoio wale aku no ia ia, aka, o ka hoopiiikiaia mai hoi nona.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Uookahi o oukou paio ana me ka oukou i ike mai ai iloko o'u, a me ka oukou e lohe nei iloko o'u.
