¹Sura toi ngkai aku' Paulus pai' Timotius, batua Kristus Yesus, kipakatu tilou hi koi' ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -kai hi rala Kristus Yesus to hi ngata Filipi, duu' -na hi pangkeni-ni pai' tauna to mpokamu pobago Pue' hi laintongo' -ni.

¹Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers or, superintendents, or bishops and servants Or, deacons :

²Wori' tabe: mekakae-kai hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta pai' hi Pue' Yesus Kristus bona nagane' -koi ngkai kabula rala-na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.

²Grace to you, and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³Butu ngkani-na kukiwoi-koi ompi', ku'uli' oa' tarima kasi hi Pue' -ku, Pue' Alata'ala.

³I thank my God whenever I remember you,

⁴Pai' butu ngkani posampaya-ku, goe' oa' nono-ku mposampayai-koi omea.

⁴always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,

⁵Ku'uli' tarima kasi hi Pue' Alata'ala, apa' ngkai lomo' -na duu' tempo toi-e nitulungi ncuu-a hi rala bago-ku mpopalele Kareba Lompe'.

⁵for your partnership The word translated “partnership” (koinonia) also means “fellowship” and “sharing.” in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

⁶Alata'ala moto-mi to mobago hi rala nono-ni mpobago bago to lompe', pai' kuparasaya pobago to natepu'u-mi tetu napokaliliu duu' -na hudu hi eo karata-na nculii' Kristus Yesus.

⁶being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

⁷Toto-na lia-a mpoinono-koi omea hewa toe-e ompi', apa' kupoka'ahi' -koi, apa' hampobagoa-ku omea-koi hi rala pobago to nawai' -ka Alata'ala toi. Nitulungi ncuu-a, lompe' bula-ku rala tarungku' toi-e, lompe' nto'u-ku mpo'uli' noa' -ku pai' mpakanoto kamakono-na Kareba Lompe'.

⁷It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

⁸Alata'ala mposabii' kamakono-na lolita-ku tohe'i. Lentora mpu'u-a ngkalentorai-koi omea, pai' kalentora-ku toi, hewa ahi' -na Kristus Yesus moto.

⁸For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

⁹Jadi', toi-mi pomperapia' -ku hi Alata'ala, bona ahi' -ni katedoo-donihia karoho-na, pai' tedonihii wo'o kamonoto nono-ni pai' pe'inca-ni mpo'inca napa to natao nibabehi.

⁹This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;

¹⁰Ane hewa toe-mokoi ompi', ni'inca mpu'u-mi mpelihi napa to meliu kalompe' -na. Mosampaya-a bona moroli' katuwu' -ni hante uma ria kasalaia' -na hi eo karata-na nculii' Kristus.

¹⁰so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;

¹¹Mosampaya-a bona monoa' oa' po'ingku-ni sabana pobago Yesus Kristus hi rala tuwu' -ni, alaa-na wori' tauna mpo'une' pai' mpomobohe Alata'ala.

¹¹being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹²Jadi', bona ni'inca ompi', nau' ratarungku' -a tohe'i-e, goe' moto-a, apa' ngkai karatarungku' -ku toi, kawoo-woria' lau-mi tauna to mpo'epe Kareba Lompe'.

¹²Now I desire to have you know, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

¹³Tantara to mpodoo tomi magau' pai' hawe'ea tauna hi rehe'i mpo'inca karatarungku' -ku toi apa' batua Kristus-a.

¹³so that it became evident to the whole palace or, praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;

¹⁴Wae wo'o, wori' -mi ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta to hi rehe'i terohoi pepangala' -ra, apa' rahilo napa to jadi' hi aku' bula-ku ratarungku', alaa-na uma-rapa me'eka', kabii-biaa' lau-ramo mpopalele Lolita Alata'ala.

¹⁴and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

¹⁵Ria wo'o-ra hantongo' to ngkeni Kareba Kristus apa' mohingi' -ra pai' doko' mpo'ewa-a. Aga ria moto wo'o-ra hantongo' to mpokeni Kareba Kristus hante karoli' nono-ra.

¹⁵Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

¹⁶Hira' mpopalele Kareba Kristus apa' nakeni ahi' -ra, apa' ra'inca ka'aku' -na to na'ongko' Alata'ala jadi' suro-na to mpakanoto Kareba Lompe' hi hawe'ea tauna.

¹⁶The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

¹⁷Tapi' tauna to mohingi' toera we'i, mpopalele Kareba Kristus hante patuju to dada'a, apa' doko' mpomobohe hanga' -ra moto-wadi. Ra'uli' -ranale, babehia-ra toe mpodonihii kasusaa' -ku hi rala tarungku'.

¹⁷but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

¹⁸Aga nau' wae, uma kutapari. Apa' nau' ba beiwa, lompe' hante patuju to sala' ba hante patuju to makono, Kareba Kristus bate rapalele! Toe-mi to mpakagoe' nono-kue. Pai' bate goe' oa' -a,

¹⁸What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

¹⁹apa' nau' ba napa mpai' to jadi' hi aku', ku'inca hante posampaya-ni ompi', pai' hante petulungi Inoha' Tomoroli' to ngkai Yesus Kristus, bate mporata-a mpai' to lompe'.

¹⁹For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

²⁰Konoa-ku pai' to kusarumaka lia, bona neo' -a mporata ea' hi pobago-ku toi. Kusarumaka bate bia' ncuu-a mpo'uli' posabi' -ku-- peliu-liu-nami tempo toi-e-- bona ba tuwu' ba mate-a, hanga' Kristus rapomobohe hi rala woto-ku.

²⁰according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

²¹Apa' ane aku' tuwu', Kristus-mile to tuwu' hi rala tuwu' -kue. Pai' nau' ba mate-a, kurasi' lia.

²¹For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

²²Aga ane tuwu' -a-pada hi dunia' toi, ma'ala-a-pidi mpokamu bago to mokalaua. Jadi', uma ku'incai to'uma-i to kupelihi.

²²But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

²³To ronyala toe mpomediii' nono-ku. Doko' lia-a mpalahii dunia' toi pai' hilou tida dohe Kristus, apa' toe to meliu kalompe' -na.

²³But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

²⁴Aga ane tuwu' -a-pada hi dunia' toi, bohe-pi kalaua-na hi koi' ompi', apa' niparaluu-a-pidi.

²⁴Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

²⁵Toe monoto lia hi rala nono-ku. Toe pai' ku'uli', bate tuwu' -a-pada mpai', pai' kupoka'ala-pidi tilou mpencuai' -koi, mpotulungi-koi bona tampai karoho pepangala' -ni hi Pue' Yesus pai' tampai kagoe' -ni mepangala' hi Hi'a.

²⁵Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

²⁶Jadi', ane ria-apa mpai' nculii' dohe-ni pai' nihilo-ama, karoo-rohoa-mi nono-ni mpo'une' Kristus Yesus.

²⁶that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

²⁷Jadi', nau' ba napa to jadi' hi aku', po'ingku-ni kana to masipato' hi tauna to mpotuku' Kareba Lompe' Kristus. Ba kupohirua' -pidi-kokoi mpai' ompi' ba uma-pi, kusarumaka ku'epe moto mpai' kareba to mpo'uli' katida pokore-ni, hanono pai' hintuwu' -koi mobago bona wori' tauna mepangala' hi Kareba Lompe'.

²⁷Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

²⁸Nau' ba napa-napa to jadi', neo' mpu'u-koi me'eka' hi tauna to mpo'ewa-koi. Apa' toe mpakanoto kanahuku' -ra mpai' Alata'ala, pai' koi' ompi' tebahaka ngkai huku', apa' Alata'ala mpobahaka-koi ngkai huku' jeko' -ni.

²⁸and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

²⁹Neo' -koi me'eka', apa' Alata'ala mpelihi-koi uma muntu' mepangala' hi Kristus, tapi' napelihi wo'o-koi bona mporata kaparia bona hanga' Kristus rapomobohe.

²⁹Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

³⁰Jadi' hewa toe lau, mporata kaparia mpu'u-mokoi, hibalia hante kaparia to kurata aku' toi-e, lompe' kaparia to nihilo moto-mi bula-ku ria-pidi dohe-ni wengi, lompe' kaparia to kurata hi rehe'i-e, hewa to ni'epe moto-mi.

³⁰having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
