Philippians 2

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Na, ki te mea he whakamarie kei roto i a te Karaiti, ki te mea he pehi mamae to te aroha, ki te mea he whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua, ki te mea he ngakau aroha, he mahi tohu,
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Kia rite toku hari i a koutou, kia kotahi te whakaaro, kia kotahi te aroha, huihuia nga ngakau i runga i te whakaaro kotahi.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Kei meinga tetahi mea i runga i te wehewehe, i te whakapehapeha ranei, engari i runga i te ngakau papaku, me te whakanui a tetahi i tetahi ki runga ake i a ia;
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Kaua tena o koutou na e titiro ki ona mea anake, engari me titiro ano tena, tena o koutou ki nga mea a etahi atu.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Ko tenei hei whakaaro mo koutou, ko tera i a Karaiti Ihu:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Ahakoa hoki i a ia te ahua o te Atua, kihai i meinga e ia te rite ki te Atua hei taonga kapo mai;
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Engari i mea i a ia ano kia poaha, ka mau ki te ahua o te pononga, ka meinga kia rite ki te tangata;
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
A ka kitea nei tona ahua e rite ana ki to te tangata, ka whakapapaku ia i a ia, ka meinga kia ngohengohe ahakoa ki te mate, ae ra, ki te mate o te ripeka.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Na konei whakateiteitia ake ana ia e te Atua, a hoatu ana ki a ia te ingoa nui atu i nga ingoa katoa;
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Kia tuku ai i runga i te ingoa o Ihu nga turi katoa, o nga mea i te rangi, o nga mea i te whenua, o nga mea i raro i te whenua;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
A kia whakaae nga arero katoa ko Ihu Karaiti te Ariki, hei whakakororia i te Atua Matua.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Heoi e oku teina aroha, he mea tonu ia na koutou te ngohengohe ki ahau i nga wa katoa, ehara i te mea i oku wa anake i kona, engari rawa ia inaianei i ahau kahore i kona, na whakaotia to koutou whakaoranga i runga i te wehi, i te wiri;
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Ko te Atua hoki te kaimahi i roto i a koutou o te hiahia, o te mahi, hei mea i tana i pai ai.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
I a koutou mahi katoa kaua te amuamu, te tautohetohe;
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Kia kore ai koutou e whaikupuria, kia tapatahi ai, he tamariki kohakore na te Atua, i waenganui o te whakatupuranga tutu, parori ke, kei roto nei koutou i a ratou e tiaho ana hei rama i te ao;
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Kia mau pu ki te kupu o te ora; kia hari ai ahau a te ra o te Karaiti, kihai ahau i oma noa, kihai i mahi noa.
Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
Na, ki te ringihia ahau ki runga ki te patunga tapu, ki nga mahi a to koutou whakapono, ka hari ahau, ina ka hari tahi me koutou katoa.
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
Waihoki ko koutou, kia hari, hari tahi me ahau.
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
Otiia e mea ana ahau i roto i te Ariki, i a Ihu, ki te tono tata atu i a Timoti ki a koutou, kia ora ai hoki toku ngakau, ina mohio ahau ki to koutou ahua.
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
Kahore hoki oku tangata rite te ngakau ki tona, hei mahara pono ki a koutou mea.
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
Ko ta te katoa hoki e rapu nei, ko ta ratou ake, kahore nga mea a Ihu Karaiti.
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
Ko koutou ia e matau ana ki ona tohu, he pera tana me ta te tamaiti ki te matua, ko toku hoa ia ki te kawe haere i te rongopai.
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Ko ia taku e mea nei kia tonoa wawetia atu, ina kite ahau i te tukunga iho ki ahau.
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
Otiia e u ana toku whakaaro i roto i te Ariki, ka hohoro toku tae atu.
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
I ea ano ia ahau me tono atu ki a koutou a Epaporitu, toku teina, toku hoa mahi, toku hoa hoia, na koutou ia karere, he kaimahi ano hoki i nga mea i matea e ahau.
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
Koinga tonu hoki ia ki a koutou katoa, kanohi rawa, no te mea i rongo koutou he turoro ia.
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
He turoro ra hoki ia, tata pu ki te mate: otira i tohungia ia e te Atua; ehara ano i te mea ko ia anake, ko ahau ano hoki, kei tapiritia he pouri ki toku pouri.
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Koia i nui rawa ai toku ngakau ki te tono atu i a ia, kia kite ai ano koutou i a ia, kia hari ai, kia taharahara iho ai hoki toku pouri.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
Kia nui te hari i runga i te Ariki, ina tae atu ia; whakahonoretia ano hoki nga pera;
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
No te mea na te mahi ki a te Karaiti i tata ai ia ki te mate, te ihupuku ki te ora, kia rite ai i a ia nga mahi ki ahau, kihai nei i rite i a koutou.
