< Philippians 2 >

1 If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any yearnings and mercies,
Aa naho eo ty fañosihañe amy Norizañey, ke eo ty fañohòañe an-koko, ke eo ty fitraofan-kina amy Arofoy, he eo ty halèm-po naho fiferenaiñañe,
2 fulfill my joy, that you may mind the same thing—having the same love—of one soul—minding the one thing,
le henefo’ ty haehako am-piharoan-drehake naho am-pikokoañe raike vaho mifampipiteha arofo naho fivetsevetse.
3 nothing in rivalry or vainglory, but in humility of mind counting one another more excellent than yourselves—
Ko manao inoñe am-patitiañe naho firengeañe kòake, fe mifampiasia an-trentram-po;
4 do not each look to your own, but each also to the things of others.
Ko sindre mañambeñe o azeo avao, fe ampiraoraò ondatio.
5 For let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,
Itsakoreo an-troke ao i tam’ Iesoà Norizañeiy, te
6 who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not something to be seized to be equal to God,
Ie nihambam-bintañ’ aman’ Añahare, tsy naereñere’e te hitavane ty fihambañañe aman’ Añahare,
7 but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a servant, having been made in the likeness of men,
fe finao’e ty fañòva’e, le nandrambe ty vinta' ondaty, vaho nampihambañeñe ami'ty mpitoroñe.
8 and having been found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, having become obedient to death—even death of a cross,
Ie tendreke te hambam-bintañe ama’ ondaty, le nirè-batañe, nivohotse an-kavilasy— eka navetrake amy hatae ajaley!
9 for this reason, also, God highly exalted Him, and gave to Him a Name that [is] above every name,
Toly ndra nonjonen’ Añahare, vaho tinolo’e ty tahinañe ambone’ ze kila añarañe,
10 that in the Name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth—
soa te hitongaleke amy Iesoà ze kila ongotse an-dikerañe añe naho an-tane atoy vaho ambane’ tane ao,
11 and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
vaho hiantoke te Iesoà Norizañe ro Talè ze hene fameleke handrenge an’Andrianañahare Rae.
12 So that, my beloved, as you always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
Ie amy zao, ry rañe­tseo, ie mivohotse nainai’e, tsy ami’ty fiatrefako avao, fa àntsake henane te tsy eo, le mifanehafa ami’ty fandrombahañe anahareo, am-pañeveñañe naho fineveneverañe;
13 for it is God who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
toe mitoloñe ama’ areo t’i Andrianañahare hilozoha’areo toloñe amy ze satri’e soa.
14 Do all things without murmurings and deliberations,
Hene ano, tsy miñeoñeoñe tsy mandietse,
15 that you may become blameless and pure children of God, unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as luminaries in the world,
soa tsy hanan-kakeo, tsy hanan-tahiñe, fa ho anan’ Añahare tsy aman-kandra añivo’ ty tariratse mengoke naho miola toy, mipelatse hoe failo ami’ty voatse toy,
16 holding forth the word of life, for rejoicing to me in regard to [the] Day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, nor did I labor in vain;
mivontititse amy tsaran-kaveloñey, hampirebeke ahy an-tsa’ i Norizañey t’ie tsy nilay tsi-vente’e vaho tsy nilesa te nifanehake.
17 but if I also am poured forth on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and am glad with you all,
Eka, ndra t’ie ampidoañeñe hoe ènga-rano ami’ty fisoroñañe naho fitoloñañe amo fatokisa’ areoo, le mbe mifale naho mitrao-pirebeke ama’ areo iaby.
18 because of this you also rejoice and are glad with me.
Aa le mifalea ka vaho miharoa firebeke amako.
19 And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timotheus to you quickly, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,
Misalala am’ Iesoà Talè ao iraho, te hampihitrifeñe mb’ama’ areo mb’eo aniany t’i Timoty, hampanitsiñe ahy t’ie mitsanoñe ty ama’areo.
20 for I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for the things concerning you,
Fa tsy amako ty mañirinkiriñe aze ami’ty fahimbaña’e miatrake anahareo,
21 for the whole seek their own things, not the things of Christ Jesus,
toe mipay ty aze avao i maroy, fa tsy ty a’ Iesoà Norizañey.
22 and you know his proof, that as a child [serves] a father, he served with me in regard to the good news;
Fohi’ areo ty namentea’e vatañe, ie hoe anake aman-drae’e te nitraoke amako amy fitoroñañe i talili-soaiy.
23 I indeed hope to send him, when I may see through the things concerning me—immediately;
Aa le salalaeko ty hañitrike aze aniany naho fa fantako ty amako.
24 and I trust in the LORD that I will also come quickly myself.
Le iantofako amy Talè te homb’eo aniany ka iraho.
25 And I thought [it] necessary to send to you Epaphroditus—my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need,
Toe sinafiriko ty hampihitrike i Epafrodito rahalahiko mb’ama’ areo mb’eo, mpifanehake naho lahindefo mpiamako, ie toe ìra’ areo naho mpiatrak’ ahiko,
26 seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because you heard that he ailed,
ie nijagobo ty ama’areo, naho nalovilovy te jinanji’ areo ty amy fatindri’ey.
27 for he also ailed near to death, but God dealt kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
Toe niheta’e re ho nivetrake, fe niferenaiñan’ Añahare, le tsy ie avao fa izaho, hera ho nanahelo an-kontoke.
28 The more eagerly, therefore, I sent him, that having seen him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful;
Aa le nihavoa iraho te nampolieñe ama’areo, soa t’ie isa’ areo indraike ro handia taroba, vaho hampanintsiñe ahy ka.
29 receive him, therefore, in the LORD, with all joy, and hold such in honor,
Aa le rambeso amy Talè an-kaehake vaho onjono ondaty hoe zaio;
30 because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded life that he might fill up your deficiency of service to me.
amy te ho nametrake aze i fitoloña’e amy Norizañeiy, ie namoy-ay hañeneke i tsy nilefe’ areo amy fiatrahañe ahikoy.
