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, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort 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.

fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing — having the same love — of one soul — minding the one thing,

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.

nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than 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.

each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.

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

For, let this mind be in you that [is] also 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, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,

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 did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,

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 in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death — death even of 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:

wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] 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;

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow — of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth —

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

and every tongue may confess 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.

So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

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

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

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

All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

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;

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries 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.

the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

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.

but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

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

because of this do ye also rejoice and joy 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.

And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,

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

for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,

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

for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the 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.

and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a father, with me he did serve in regard to 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.

him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me — immediately;

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 shall quickly come.

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.

And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus — my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need — to send unto you,

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

seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,

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 he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

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.

The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the 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 joy, and hold such in honour,

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 on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
