¹If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

¹[Anatra hamporisika ny Filipiana hitondra tena tsara sy hanetry tena tahaka an'i Jesosy Kristy] Koa raha misy famporisihana ao amin'i Kristy, raha misy fampiononana avy amin'ny fitiavana, raha misy firaisana amin'ny Fanahy, raha misy famindram-po sy fiantrana,

²Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

²dia tanteraho ny fifaliako, mba hiraisanareo saina, miray fitiavana, miray fo, miray hevitra,

³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

³tsy manao na inona na inona amin'ny fifampiandaniana, na mandrani-tena foana fa amin'ny fanetren-tena dia aoka samy hanao ny namany ho mihoatra noho ny tenany.

⁴Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

⁴Aza samy mihevitra ny azy ihany, fa samy ny an'ny namany koa.

⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁵Aoka ho ao aminareo izao saina izao, izay tao amin'i Kristy Jesosy koa,

⁶Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

⁶Izay, na dia nanana ny endrik'Andriamanitra aza, dia tsy nataony ho zavatra hofikiriny mafy ny fitoviana amin'Andriamanitra,

⁷But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

⁷fa nofoanany ny tenany tamin'ny nakany ny endriky ny mpanompo sy nahatongavany ho manam-pitoviana amin'ny olona;

⁸And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

⁸ary rehefa hita fa nanan-tarehy ho olona Izy, dia nanetry tena ka nanaiky hatramin'ny fahafatesana, dia ilay fahafatesana tamin'ny hazo fijaliana.

⁹Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

⁹Koa izany no nanandratan'Andriamanitra Azy indrindra sy nanomezany Azy ny anarana izay ambony noho ny anarana rehetra,

¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹⁰mba ho amin'ny anaran'i Jesosy no handohalehan'ny lohalika rehetra, na ny any an-danitra, na ny etỳ an-tany, na ny any ambanin'ny tany,

¹¹And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹¹sy haneken'ny lela rehetra fa Jesosy Kristy no Tompo ho voninahitr'Andriamanitra Ray.

¹²Wherefore, 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.

¹²Koa amin'izany, ry malalako, tahaka ny nanekenareo mandrakariva, tsy fony teo aminareo ihany aho, fa ankehitriny dia bebe kokoa aza raha tsy eo aho, miasà amin'ny tahotra ny ny hovitra hahatanteraka ny famonjena anareo.

¹³For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

¹³Fa Andriamanitra no miasa ao anatinareo na ny fikasana na ny fanaovana hahatanteraka ny sitrapony.

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

¹⁴Ataovy ny zavatra rehetra amin'ny tsi-fimonomononana sy ny tsi-fisalasalana,

¹⁵That 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;

¹⁵mba ho tsy manan-tsiny sady tsy misy fitaka ianareo, dia zanak'Andriamanitra tsy manana adidy eo amin'ny firenena meloka sy maditra, izay isehoanareo tahaka ny fanazavana eo amin'izao tontolo izao,

¹⁶Holding 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.

¹⁶mitana ny tenin'ny fiainana, mba hisy ho reharehako amin'ny andron'i Kristy, ka tsy ho nihazakazaka foana aho na nisasatra foana.

¹⁷Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁷Eny, na dia haidina ho fanatitra aidina eo amin'ny fanatitra ny fisoronan'ny finoanareo aza aho, dia faly ka miara-mifaly aminareo rehetra.

¹⁸For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

¹⁸Ary aoka izany no hampifaly anareo koa, ary miaraha mifaly amiko.

¹⁹But 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.

¹⁹[Ny amin'i Timoty sy Epafrodito] Nefa manantena ao amin'i Jesosy Tompo aho fa haniraka an'i Timoty faingana ho atỳ aminareo, mba hifaliako koa, rehefa fantatro ny toetrareo.

²⁰For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

²⁰Fa tsy manana olona mitovy fanahy amiko aho na dia iray akory aza, izay hazoto hiahy anareo. [ Na: aminy]

²¹For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

²¹Fa izy rehetra dia samy mitady ny azy avy, fa tsy ny an'i Jesosy Kristy;

²²But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

²²izy kosa dia fantatrareo fa lehilahy voazaha toetra, fa efa niara-nanompo tamiko teo amin'ny filazantsara, tahaka ny zanaka manompo ny rainy.

²³Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

²³Ary izy no antenaiko hirahina faingana, rehefa hitako izay ho toetro.

²⁴But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

²⁴Fa matoky ao amin'ny Tompo aho fa ny tenako dia mbola ho avy faingana koa.

²⁵Yet 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.

²⁵Nefa nihevitra aho fa tokony hampandehaniko hankatỳ aminareo Epafrodito, rahalahiko sady mpiray asa amiko no miaramila namako ary irakareo sy mpanompo hanome izay nilaiko. [ Gr. apostolinareo]

²⁶For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

²⁶Fa manina anareo rehetra izy ka difotra alahelo, satria efa renareo fa narary izy.

²⁷For 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.

²⁷Eny, fa narary saiky maty tokoa izy; nefa Andriamanitra namindra fo taminy, ary tsy taminy ihany, fa tamiko koa, fandrao hanana alahelo mifanontona aho.

²⁸I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁸Koa nazoto kokoa haniraka azy aho, mba hifalianareo, rehefa hitanareo indray izy, ary mba ho afaka alahelo kokoa aho.

²⁹Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

²⁹Koa raiso ao amin'ny Tompo izy amin'ny fifaliana indrindra, ary omeo voninahitra izay olona tahaka izany;fa saiky maty izy noho ny asan'i Kristy sady nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra mba hanefa izay tsy vitanareo tamin'ny fanompoana ahy.

³⁰Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

³⁰fa saiky maty izy noho ny asan'i Kristy sady nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra mba hanefa izay tsy vitanareo tamin'ny fanompoana ahy.
