¹If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,

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 my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;

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

³[let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent 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.

⁴regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of others also.

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

⁵For let 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, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;

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

⁷but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place 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 having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that 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 also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that 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 heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],

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 every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.

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

¹²So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather 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 who works in you both the willing and the working according to [his] good pleasure.

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

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,

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

¹⁵that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear 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, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor 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.

¹⁷But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common 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.

¹⁸In like manner do *ye* also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

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

¹⁹But I hope in [the] Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that *I* also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.

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 one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.

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

²¹For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.

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 child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.

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 immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:

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

²⁴but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon come;

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

²⁵but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,

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]

²⁶since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;

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

²⁷for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not 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 have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might 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 joy, and hold such in honour;

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 sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration 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.
