¹If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

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,

²make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

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

³doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

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.

⁴each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

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

⁵Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

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

⁶who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

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

⁷but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being 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 human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, 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.

⁹Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the 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 those in heaven, those on earth, and those 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.

¹²So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, 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 who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

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

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputes,

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

¹⁵that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen 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 up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor 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.

¹⁷Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, 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.

¹⁸In the same way, you 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 Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

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 else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

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

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

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

²²But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

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

²³Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I 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 myself also will come shortly.

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

²⁵But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of 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 longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.

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

²⁷For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on 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, when you see him again, you 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 joy, and hold such in honor,

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 came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your 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.
