Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:
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 give praise to my God at every memory of you,
Ke hoomaikai aku nei au i ko'u Akua i na manawa a pau a'u i hoomanao ai ia oukou;
4 And in all my prayers for you all, making my request with joy,
I na pule a pau a'u no oukou a pau, ua pule no au me ka olioli,
5 Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;
No ko oukou hoolauna ana i ka euanelio, mai ka la mua mai a i neia wa.
6 For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till 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 So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in 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 my love goes out to you all in the loving 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 And my prayer is that you may be increased more and more in knowledge and experience;
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 give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till 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 full of 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 it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;
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 clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of 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 most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give 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 Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:
Ua hai aku nae kekahi poo ia Kristo me ka huahuwa a me ka hakaka; a o kekahi poe me ka manao aloha.
16 These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:
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 those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
A o keia poo me ke aloha, ke ike nei lakou, ua hoonohoia au no ka hoakaka ana'ku i ka euanelio.
18 What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.
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 am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth 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 In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, 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 life is Christ and death is profit.
No ka mea, a i ola no au, no Kristo ia, a i make hoi, o ko'u pomaikai ia.
22 But if I go on living in the flesh — if this is the fruit of my work — then I do not see what decision to make.
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 I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much 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 Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
Aka, o ka noho ma ke kino, ka mea ia e pono io ai oukou.
25 And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth 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 So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present 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 behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul 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 Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your 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 to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:
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 Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of 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.
