Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
1Ko 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.
2I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
2ʻOku ou kole kia ʻIuotia, pea u kole kia Siniteke, ke na loto taha pe ʻi he ʻEiki.
3Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
3Pea 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.
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
4Fiefia maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻEiki: ʻoku ou toe pehē, Fiefia.
5Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.
5Tuku ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē hoʻomou ʻulungāanga lelei. ʻOku ofi ʻae ʻEiki.
6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
6ʻOua 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.
7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
7Pea 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.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
8E 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.
9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
9Ko 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.
10Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
10Ka 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.
11I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
11Ka ʻoku ʻikai te u lea koeʻuhi ko ha masiva: he kuo akonekina au, ke u fiemālie ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē teu ʻi ai.
12I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.
12ʻOku 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.
13I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
13ʻOku ou faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi ʻoku ne fakamālohiʻi au.
14Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.
14Ka neongo ia, kuo mou fai lelei ʻi hoʻomou kau ʻi heʻeku mamahi.
15And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.
15Pea 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.
16For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.
16Naʻa mo ʻeku ʻi Tesalonika naʻa mou tokoni ʻo liunga taha mo liunga ua ki heʻeku masiva.
17Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.
17Kae ʻikai ʻi heʻeku holi ki ha foaki: ka ʻoku ou holi ki ha fua ʻe ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu.
18I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
18Ka 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.
19And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
19Ka ʻe taufetuku ʻe hoku ʻOtua ki hoʻomou masiva kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene koloa ʻi he nāunau ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
20To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
20Pea ko eni, ke ʻi he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai ʻae nāunau ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
21Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.
21ʻOfa atu ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. Ko e kāinga ʻoku ʻiate au ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu.
22All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.
22ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu, kae lahi hake ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻo Sisa.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
23Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. ʻEmeni.
