1 H eoi, e oku teina aroha, e hiahiatia atu nei, e toku haringa, e toku karauna, tena ra, e tu i runga i te Ariki, e oku hoa aroha.

Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer

2 H e kupu tenei naku ki a Uoria, he kupu ano tenei ki a Hinatiki, kia kotahi to raua whakaaro i roto i te Ariki.

I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

3 N a, he tohe tenei naku ki a koe, e toku hoa pono ki te mahi, ko koe hei whakamama i aua wahine, he hunga raua i uru tahi me ahau ki te tohe ki nga mea o te rongopai, me Keremeneta ano, me era atu hoki o oku hoa mahi, kei roto nei i te pukapuka o te ora o ratou ingoa.

And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

4 K ia hari tonu i roto i te Ariki: ko taku kupu ano tenei, Kia hari.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

5 K ia mohiotia to koutou ngakau ngawari e nga tangata katoa. Kua tata te Ariki.

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 K aua e manukanuka ki tetahi mea; engari i nga mea katoa whakaaturia ki te Atua nga mea e matea ai e koutou, i runga i te karakia, i te inoi, me te whakawhetai hoki.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 A ma te marie o te Atua, e kore nei e taea te whakaaro, e tiaki o koutou ngakau, o koutou hinengaro, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Meditate on These Things

8 H eoi, e oku teina, ko nga mea e pono ana, ko nga mea e whai honore ana, ko nga mea e tika ana, ko nga mea e kinokore ana, ko nga mea e ataahua ana, ko nga mea e korerotia paitia ana; ki te mea he pai, ki te mea he whakamoemiti; whakaaroa enei mea.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

9 K o nga mea i whakaakona ki a koutou, i riro i a koutou, i rongo ai, i kite ai ranei ki ahau, mahia enei: a ka noho te Atua o te rangimarie ki a koutou.

The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. Philippian Generosity

10 N ui atu ia toku hari i roto i te Ariki mo to koutou whakaaro ki ahau katahi nei ka pihi ake ano; he mea ano ia i whakaaroa e koutou i mua, otiia kihai i whai meatanga.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

11 E hara taku e korero nei i te mea mo te rawakore: kua ako hoki ahau, ahakoa kei hea ahau e noho ana, kia tatu toku ngakau i reira.

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

12 K o te whakahoki i ahau ki raro, matau tonu i ahau; ko te whai rawa, matau tonu i ahau: i nga wahi katoa, i nga mea katoa, ka oti ahau te whakaako, kia makona, a kia mate i te kai, kia whai rawa, a kia rawakore ranei.

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 K a taea e ahau nga mea katoa i roto i a te Karaiti e whakakaha nei i ahau.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

14 H e ahakoa ra, he pai ta koutou mahi, i a koutou i uru nei ki toku mate.

Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

15 N a e matau ana ano ra koutou, e nga Piripai, i te timatanga o te rongopai, i ahau i haere atu ai i Makeronia, kahore he hahi i uru ki taku tikanga, ara mo tetahi mea kia tukua atu, kia homai ranei, ko koutou anake.

Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

16 I Teharonika ano hoki kotahi, e rua, a koutou homaitanga i nga mea i matea e ahau, kia kawea ake maku.

For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

17 E hara i te mea e whai ana ahau i tetahi mea kia homai; engari e whai ana ahau kia maha ake nga hua hei mea ma koutou.

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

18 O tiia kei te whiwhi ahau i nga mea katoa, hira noa ake hoki aku: kua ki ahau, kua tae mai nei i a Epaporitu nga mea i ahu mai i a koutou, he kakara reka, he patunga tapu e manakohia ana, ko ta te Atua e ahuareka mai ai.

Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

19 A ma toku Atua e mea kia hua nga mea katoa e matea ana e koutou, kia rite ki te nui o tona kororia, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 N a, waiho i te Atua, ara i to tatou Matua, te kororia ake ake. Amine.

Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Greeting and Blessing

21 O ha atu ki te hunga tapu katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. He oha atu tenei ki a koutou na nga teina i ahau nei.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

22 H e oha atu tenei ki a koutou na te hunga tapu katoa, tenei rawa ia ta te hunga o te whare o Hiha.

All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

23 K ia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou katoa. Amine.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
