Filipiana 4
1 Ie amy zay, ry longo-sarotse tamaekoo! ty haehako naho sabakan-drengeko, mijohaña amy Talè, ry rañeko.
My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
2 Mihalaly amy Eodiae iraho naho mihalaly amy Sintikee t’ie hiharo-rehake amy Talè.
I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
3 Eka, ry longo-sarotse, ehe imbao i nindre nifanehake amako amy talili-soay rey, naho i Klementa, naho o mpitrao-toroñe amako ila’eo, ie fa misokitse am-boken-kaveloñe ao o tahina’eo.
And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
4 Mirebeha nainai’e amy Talè. Indraeko ty hoe: mañonjona kobaiñe!
[Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
5 Ee te ho rendre’ ze kila ondaty ty hatsò-tro’areo. Fa marine t’i Talè.
[Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
6 Ko emberen’ inoñ’ inoñe fe amy ze he’e, am-pilolofañe naho halaly mitraofa fañandriañañe, le ampahafohino an’ Andrianañahare o fisalalà’ areoo,
Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
7 le ty fañanintsin’ Añahare milikoatse ze hene fohiñe abey ro hañambeñe o arofo naho fitsakorea’ areoo am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
8 Honka’e ry longo, ze atao hatò, ze hene havañonañe, ze mahity, ze hiringiri’e, ze fanjàka, vaho ze soa talily; naho eo ty talango’e, naho eo ty mañeva renge—imoneño.
My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
9 Le anò o nirendreke naho rinambe naho jinanjy vaho nioni’ areo amakoo, aa lonike te ho ama’ areo t’i Andrianañaharen-kanintsiñe.
Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
10 Akore ty firebehako amy Talè kanao nivaòeñe indraike ty fiatraha’ areo ahy henaneo, toe fa ela, ie ho nanoe’ areo avao, fe tsy nahatafetetse heike.
I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
11 Tsy te mipay t’ie nitaroñeñe, fe nioke tsy hieren-draho ndra inoñe ty mizo;
I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
12 Mahazats’ ahy te poie’e, haiko t’ie anjañe. Aa ndra aia’ aia, naho aman’ inoñ’ inoñe le fa niòke, ke te vontsy he saliko, ke mpañarivo he rarake,
[Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
13 ho tafetereko ze he’e añamy Mpampaozatse ahikoy.
I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
14 Fe, soa i nanoe’ areoy, t’ie nitraoke amy faloviloviakoy,
Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
15 le fohi’ areo ka, ry nte-Filipio, t’ie niakatse i Makedonia añe naho namototse nitaroñe i talili-soaiy, le tsy eo ty Fivory namahañ’ ahy ndra an-tolotse ndra rambe, naho tsy inahareo avao.
[My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
16 Eka ie te Tesalonika añe, tsy indraike avao ty nañitrifa’ areo o nipaiakoo.
Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
17 Tsy t’ie mipay falalàñe, fa i vokatse haroroñe amy rake’ areoiy.
I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
18 Le hene rinambeko ami’ty hapea’e, toe nahaeneñe vaho nahaàtseke, toe rinambeko amy Epafrodito o nahitri’ areoo; hañitse marifondrifoñe, soroñe mañeva naho sitran’ Añahare.
But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
19 Aa le hatsafen’ Añahareko ama’areo abey ze hene ipaiañe amy vara’e lifots’ engeñe am’ Iesoà Norizañeiy.
[Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
21 Añontaneo ze hene noro’e am’ Iesoà Norizañey. Mañontane anahareo o rolongo amako atoio.
Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
22 Salamae’ o noro’e iabio, àntsake o añ’anjomba’ i Kaisarao.
All of God’s people [here] send their greetings to you. Especially the [fellow believers who work] in the palace of the emperor send their greetings to you.
23 Ho ami’ty arofo’ areo abey ty hasoa’ Iesoà Talè Norizañey.
My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
