Filipai 2

1 Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi ha fiemālie, kapau ʻoku ai ha fiemālie ʻi he ʻofa, kapau ʻoku ai ha feohi ʻoe Laumālie, kapau ʻoku ai ha ʻofa ongongofua mo ha loto ʻofa,

If therefore any exhortation is in Christ, if any encouragement of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

2 Mou fakakakato ʻeku fiefia, ke mou felototatau pe, ʻo maʻu ʻae ʻofa pe taha, ke mou ʻulungāanga taha pe, mo uouangataha pe.

fulfill my joy, that ye may think the same way, having the same love, being knit in soul, thinking in oneness,

3 ‌ʻOua naʻa fai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he fakakikihi, pe ʻi he manako ki he fakamālō launoa; ka ʻi he loto angavaivai ke fetoutou femahalo lelei ʻaki hake taki taha ki hono kāinga ʻiate ia.

in nothing according to selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility considering each other surpassing yourselves.

4 Ke ʻoua naʻa taki taha tokanga ki heʻene ngaahi meʻa ʻaʻana pe, kae taki taha tokanga foki ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae niʻihi.

Look ye out each man not to things of yourselves, but each man also to the things of others.

5 Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae loto ni, ʻaia foki naʻe ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:

Indeed have this way to think in you, that also was in Christ Jesus,

6 Ko ia, ʻi heʻene ʻi he tatau mo e ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe ia ko ha faʻaoa ke na taha mo e ʻOtua:

who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God something to seize and hold.

7 Ka naʻa ne fakamasivesivaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻae tatau mo e tamaioʻeiki, pea fanauʻi ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata:

But he emptied himself, having taken a form of a bondman, having become in a likeness of men.

8 Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata, naʻa ne fakamoʻulaloaʻi ia, pea talangofua ki he mate, ʻio, ʻae mate ʻi he ʻakau.

And having been found in a form like a man, he lowered himself, having become obedient until death, even of death from a cross.

9 Pea ko ia kuo hakeakiʻi ai ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻo ne foaki kiate ia ʻae huafa ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe ʻi he hingoa kotoa pē:

Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name above every name,

10 Koeʻuhi ke tuʻulutui ki he huafa ʻo Sisu ʻae tui ʻo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he langi mo māmani, mo e lalo māmani;

so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of the heavenly, and the earthly, and the sub-earthly,

11 Pea ke fakahā ʻe he ʻelelo kotoa pē ko e ʻEiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua ko e Tamai.

and that every tongue should acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 Ko ia, ʻe hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou talangofua maʻuaipē, ʻo ʻikai ʻi hoku ʻao pe, kae lahi ʻaupito eni ʻi heʻeku mamaʻo, mou ngāue ke lavaʻi hoʻomou moʻui ʻamoutolu ʻi he manavahē mo e tetetete.

Therefore my beloved, just as ye have always obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

13 He ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne ngāue ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi hono finangalo lelei ke mou loto mo fai ki ai.

For it is God who works in you both to desire and to work for approval.

14 Fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo taʻelāunga mo e taʻefakakikihi:

Do all things without grumblings and arguments,

15 Koeʻuhi ke mou taʻehalaia mo taʻekovi, ko e fānau taʻevalokiʻia ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai anga pikopiko mo fefeka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku mou ulo atu ki ai, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi maama ʻo māmani;

so that ye may become blameless and pure children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.

16 ‌ʻO takiloa atu ʻae lea ʻoe moʻui; koeʻuhi ke u fiefia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Kalaisi, ʻi he ʻikai teu lele noa pē, pe ngāue taʻeʻaonga.

Holding firm the word of life, for a boast by me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

17 ‌ʻIo, pea kapau ʻe felingiʻaki au mo e feilaulau mo e ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tui, ʻoku ou fiefia, mo nekeneka, fakataha mo kimoutolu kotoa pē.

Yet even if I am poured out a libation upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

18 Pea ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia foki ke mou fiefia, mo nekeneka fakataha mo au.

And in the same way, ye also be glad and rejoice with me.

19 Ka ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu, ke toe siʻi, peau fekau atu ʻa Timote kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u fiemālie lelei, ʻo kau ka ʻilo pe ʻoku mou fēfē.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be cheerful when I know the things about you.

20 He ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate au ha taha ʻoku na loto tatau mo ia, ke tokanga moʻoni kiate kimoutolu.

For I have no man like-minded who will genuinely care for the things about you.

21 He ʻoku kumi kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻanautolu, kae ʻikai ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻa Kalaisi Sisu.

For they all seek the things of themselves, not the things of Christ Jesus.

22 Ka ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoʻona, koeʻuhi, ʻo hangē ko e foha mo e tamai, kuo pehē ʻene ngāue mo au ʻi he ongoongolelei.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child to a father, he served with me for the good news.

23 Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ke fekau atu leva ia, ʻo kau ka ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻe fai kiate au.

Indeed therefore I hope to send this man immediately, whenever I may focus on the things concerning me.

24 Ka ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻEiki ʻe vave foki ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻaʻaku.

And I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come soon.

25 Ka naʻaku mahalo, ʻe lelei ʻeku fekau atu kiate kimoutolu ʻa Epafalotaito, ko hoku tokoua, mo e kaunga ngāue, mo e kaunga tau, ka ko hoʻomou faifekau, pea ko ia naʻa ne tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi masiva.

But I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and co-workman and fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

26 He naʻe manatu lahi ia kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, pea naʻe mātuʻaki mamahi, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fanongo naʻe mahaki ia.

since he was longing for you all, and distressed because ye heard that he was sick.

27 He ko e moʻoni naʻe mahaki ia ʻo mei mate: ka naʻe ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia; ka naʻe ʻikai kiate ia pe, ka kiate au foki, telia naʻaku maʻu ʻae mamahi ki he mamahi.

For also he was sick, near death, but God was merciful to him, and not only him, but also me, so that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

28 Ko ia ne u fekau toʻotoʻo ai ia, koeʻuhi, ka mou ka toe mamata kiate ia, ke mou fiefia, pea ke siʻi hifo ai ʻeku mamahi.

Therefore I sent him more urgently, so that having seen him again, ye may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.

29 Ko ia ke maʻu ia ʻi he ʻEiki ʻi he fiefia kotoa pe; pea mou fakaʻapaʻapa ki he kakai pehē:

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men esteemed.

30 He koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻi he ngāue ʻa Kalaisi, naʻe ofi ai ia ki he mate, ʻo ʻikai mamae ia ki heʻene moʻui, ka ne tongia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he tauhi kiate au.

Because for sake of the work of the Christ he came near the point of death, handing over his life so that he might fill up the deficiency of your service toward me.
