Filipai 4

1 Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina ʻoku ou holi ki ai, ko e fiefiaʻanga mo ʻeku teunga, ʻae ʻofeina lahi, ke mou tuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻEiki.

THEREFORE, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

2 ‌ʻOku ou kole kia ʻIuotia, pea u kole kia Siniteke, ke na loto taha pe ʻi he ʻEiki.

I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

3 Pea ʻoku ou kole atu kiate koe foki, ko [hoku ]hoa moʻoni, ke ke tokoniʻi ʻae kau fefine ko ia naʻe ngāue mo au ʻi he ongoongolelei, mo Kelemeni foki, pea mo hono toe ʻo ʻeku kaunga ngāue, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui honau hingoa.

And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.

4 Fiefia maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻEiki: ʻoku ou toe pehē, Fiefia.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Tuku ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē hoʻomou ʻulungāanga lelei. ʻOku ofi ʻae ʻEiki.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 ‌ʻOua naʻa tokanga mamahi ki ha meʻa ʻe taha; kae fakahā atu hoʻomou holi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ki he ʻOtua, ʻi he lotu mo e lotu tāumaʻu mo e fakafetaʻi.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 Pea ko e melino ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he faʻa ʻiloa, te ne maluʻi homou laumālie mo homou loto ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 E kāinga, ko hono fakaʻosi [eni], ke ʻilonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku moʻoni, ke ʻilonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku matamatalelei, ke ʻilonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu, ke ʻilonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ke ʻilonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakaʻofoʻofa, ke ʻilonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ongoongolelei; kapau ʻoku ai ha lelei, pe ha meʻa ke fakamālōʻia, tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ia.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia, naʻa mou akonekina ai, mo maʻu, mo ongoʻi, mo mamata ki ai, ʻiate au, fai ia: pea ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe melino.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

10 Ka naʻaku fiefia lahi ʻi he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi kuo toe ake ki mui ni hoʻomou tokanga kiate au; ʻaia naʻa mou tokanga ai foki, ka naʻa mou taʻehafaingamālie.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

11 Ka ʻoku ʻikai te u lea koeʻuhi ko ha masiva: he kuo akonekina au, ke u fiemālie ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē teu ʻi ai.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

12 ‌ʻOku ou ʻilo ke fai ʻi he masiva, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ke fai ʻi he maʻu ʻo lahi: kuo akonekina au ʻi he potu kotoa pē mo e meʻa kotoa pē ke mākona pe fiekaia, ke u maʻu ʻo lahi pea ke kātaki ʻae masiva.

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 ‌ʻOku ou faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi ʻoku ne fakamālohiʻi au.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

14 Ka neongo ia, kuo mou fai lelei ʻi hoʻomou kau ʻi heʻeku mamahi.

Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

15 Pea ko eni, ʻae kau Filipai, ke mou ʻilo foki, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe ongoongolelei, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu mei Masitōnia, naʻe ʻikai kau ha siasi ʻe taha kiate au ʻi he fefoakiʻaki, ka ko kimoutolu pe.

Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

16 Naʻa mo ʻeku ʻi Tesalonika naʻa mou tokoni ʻo liunga taha mo liunga ua ki heʻeku masiva.

For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

17 Kae ʻikai ʻi heʻeku holi ki ha foaki: ka ʻoku ou holi ki ha fua ʻe ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu.

Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

18 Ka kuo ʻiate au kotoa pē, pea lahi ʻaupito: ʻoku ou mahu, he kuo u maʻu ia Epafalotaito ʻae ngaahi meʻa meiate kimoutolu, ko e ngangatu ʻoe meʻa namu kakala, ko e feilaulau ʻaonga, pea lelei ki he ʻOtua.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

19 Ka ʻe taufetuku ʻe hoku ʻOtua ki hoʻomou masiva kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene koloa ʻi he nāunau ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 Pea ko eni, ke ʻi he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai ʻae nāunau ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni. (aiōn g165)

Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

21 ‌ʻOfa atu ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. Ko e kāinga ʻoku ʻiate au ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

22 ‌ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu, kae lahi hake ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻo Sisa.

All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cæsar’s household.

23 Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. ʻEmeni.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. It was written to the Philippians from Rome by Epaphroditus.
