1Ko 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,
1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
2Mou fakakakato ʻeku fiefia, ke mou felototatau pe, ʻo maʻu ʻae ʻofa pe taha, ke mou ʻulungāanga taha pe, mo uouangataha pe.
2Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
3ʻOua 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.
3Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
4Ke ʻoua naʻa taki taha tokanga ki heʻene ngaahi meʻa ʻaʻana pe, kae taki taha tokanga foki ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae niʻihi.
4Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men’s.
5Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae loto ni, ʻaia foki naʻe ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:
5For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6Ko ia, ʻi heʻene ʻi he tatau mo e ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe ia ko ha faʻaoa ke na taha mo e ʻOtua:
6Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7Ka naʻa ne fakamasivesivaʻi ʻe ia ia ʻo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻae tatau mo e tamaioʻeiki, pea fanauʻi ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata:
7But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
8Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe tangata, naʻa ne fakamoʻulaloaʻi ia, pea talangofua ki he mate, ʻio, ʻae mate ʻi he ʻakau.
8He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
9Pea 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:
9For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:
10Koeʻuhi ke tuʻulutui ki he huafa ʻo Sisu ʻae tui ʻo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he langi mo māmani, mo e lalo māmani;
10That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
11Pea ke fakahā ʻe he ʻelelo kotoa pē ko e ʻEiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua ko e Tamai.
11And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
12Ko 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.
12Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence,) with fear and trembling work out your salvation.
13He ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne ngāue ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi hono finangalo lelei ke mou loto mo fai ki ai.
13For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
14Fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo taʻelāunga mo e taʻefakakikihi:
14And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
15Koeʻuhi 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;
15That you may be blameless, and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom you shine as lights in the world.
16ʻO 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.
16Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ, because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.
17ʻIo, pea kapau ʻe felingiʻaki au mo e feilaulau mo e ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tui, ʻoku ou fiefia, mo nekeneka, fakataha mo kimoutolu kotoa pē.
17Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate with you all.
18Pea ʻi he meʻa pe ko ia foki ke mou fiefia, mo nekeneka fakataha mo au.
18And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.
19Ka 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.
19And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you.
20He ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate au ha taha ʻoku na loto tatau mo ia, ke tokanga moʻoni kiate kimoutolu.
20For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you.
21He ʻoku kumi kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻanautolu, kae ʻikai ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻa Kalaisi Sisu.
21For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ’s.
22Ka ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻoʻona, koeʻuhi, ʻo hangē ko e foha mo e tamai, kuo pehē ʻene ngāue mo au ʻi he ongoongolelei.
22Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.
23Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ke fekau atu leva ia, ʻo kau ka ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻe fai kiate au.
23Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24Ka ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻEiki ʻe vave foki ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻaʻaku.
24And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.
25Ka 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.
25But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer, and fellow soldier, but your apostle, and he that hath ministered to my wants.
26He naʻe manatu lahi ia kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, pea naʻe mātuʻaki mamahi, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fanongo naʻe mahaki ia.
26For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.
27He 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.
27For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28Ko 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.
28Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
29Ko ia ke maʻu ia ʻi he ʻEiki ʻi he fiefia kotoa pe; pea mou fakaʻapaʻapa ki he kakai pehē:
29Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
30He 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.
30Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfill that which on your part was wanting towards my service.
