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¶ 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,

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

²Kia rite toku hari i a koutou, kia kotahi te whakaaro, kia kotahi te aroha, huihuia nga ngakau i runga i te whakaaro kotahi.

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

³Kei 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;

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

⁴Kaua tena o koutou na e titiro ki ona mea anake, engari me titiro ano tena, tena o koutou ki nga mea a etahi atu.

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

⁵Ko tenei hei whakaaro mo koutou, ko tera i a Karaiti Ihu:

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

⁶Ahakoa hoki i a ia te ahua o te Atua, kihai i meinga e ia te rite ki te Atua hei taonga kapo mai;

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

⁷Engari i mea i a ia ano kia poaha, ka mau ki te ahua o te pononga, ka meinga kia rite ki te tangata;

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

⁸A 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.

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

⁹Na konei whakateiteitia ake ana ia e te Atua, a hoatu ana ki a ia te ingoa nui atu i nga ingoa katoa;

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

¹⁰Kia 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;

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

¹¹A kia whakaae nga arero katoa ko Ihu Karaiti te Ariki, hei whakakororia i te Atua Matua.

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.

¹²¶ 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;

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

¹³Ko te Atua hoki te kaimahi i roto i a koutou o te hiahia, o te mahi, hei mea i tana i pai ai.

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

¹⁴¶ I a koutou mahi katoa kaua te amuamu, te tautohetohe;

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;

¹⁵Kia 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;

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.

¹⁶Kia 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.

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

¹⁷Na, 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.

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

¹⁸Waihoki ko koutou, kia hari, hari tahi me ahau.

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.

¹⁹Otiia 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.

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

²⁰Kahore hoki oku tangata rite te ngakau ki tona, hei mahara pono ki a koutou mea.

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

²¹Ko ta te katoa hoki e rapu nei, ko ta ratou ake, kahore nga mea a Ihu Karaiti.

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

²²Ko 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.

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

²³Ko ia taku e mea nei kia tonoa wawetia atu, ina kite ahau i te tukunga iho ki ahau.

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

²⁴Otiia e u ana toku whakaaro i roto i te Ariki, ka hohoro toku tae atu.

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.

²⁵I 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.

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

²⁶Koinga tonu hoki ia ki a koutou katoa, kanohi rawa, no te mea i rongo koutou he turoro ia.

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.

²⁷He 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.

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

²⁸Koia 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.

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

²⁹Kia nui te hari i runga i te Ariki, ina tae atu ia; whakahonoretia ano hoki nga pera;

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

³⁰No 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.
