Philippians 1
Maori Bible
1 Na Paora, raua ko Timoti, na nga pononga a Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga tapu katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu e noho ana i Piripai, ratou ko nga pihopa, ko nga rikona.
2 Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa, me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
3 E whakawhetai ana ahau ki toku Atua i oku maharatanga katoa ki a koutou,
4 I aku inoinga katoa, e puta ana taku inoi mo koutou i nga wa katoa i runga i te hari,
5 Mo koutou i uru tahi mai hei tautoko i te rongopai, mai o te ra tuatahi a moroki noa nei;
6 Pumau tonu toku whakaaro ki tenei mea nei ano, tera te kaitimata o te mahi pai i roto i a koutou e whakaoti, taea noatia te ra o Ihu Karaiti;
7 He tika hoki kia penei oku whakaaro ki a koutou katoa, no te mea kei roto koutou i toku ngakau; ara, ahakoa i ahau nei i te here, ahakoa i ahau e korero whakaara nei, e whakau nei i te rongopai, ka uru tahi koutou katoa me ahau ki te aroha noa.
8 Ko te Atua hoki hei kaiwhakaatu moku, mo te nui o toku koingo ki a koutou katoa, i runga i te ngakau aroha o Ihu Karaiti.
9 Ko taku inoi ano tenei, kia nui haere tonu to koutou aroha i runga i te matauranga, i nga mahara mohio katoa;
10 Kia whakaaetia ai e koutou nga mea papai; kia kore ai o koutou tinihanga, o koutou he, a taea noatia te ra o te Karaiti;
11 Kia ki ai hoki i nga hua o te tika, e puta mai ana i a Ihu Karaiti, hei kororia, hei whakamoemiti i te Atua.
12 Na e mea ana ahau kia matau koutou, e oku teina, ki te tukunga iho o nga mea i pa ki ahau, pai tonu hei whakaneke ake i te rongopai;
13 Kua kitea hoki oku mekameka mo ta te Karaiti, puta noa i te wahi katoa o nga hoia tiaki i te kingi, i era atu wahi katoa ano hoki;
14 Kua ngakau nui hoki te tokomaha o nga teina i roto i te Ariki, i oku mekameka nei, hira rawa ano hoki to ratou maia ki te korero i te kupu, kahore he mataku.
15 Ko etahi na te hae, na te totohe, i kauwhau ai i a te Karaiti; ko etahi na te whakaaro pai;
16 Ko etahi na te aroha, e mahara ana kua waiho ahau hei korero whakaara i te rongopai:
17 Ko etahi na te totohe ta ratou kauwhau i a te Karaiti, ehara i te whakaaro pono, e mea ana ki te whakatupu mamae moku e mekameka nei.
18 A tena, pehea iho? Anei ra, ahakoa tinihanga, ahakoa pono, e kauwhautia ana a te Karaiti; a e hari ana ahau ki tenei, ae ra, ka hari ano ahau.
19 E matau ana hoki ahau ka ai tenei hei whakaora moku, i a koutou na ka inoi, i te Wairua ano hoki o Ihu Karaiti ka homai;
20 Ko taku hoki tenei e whakamau tonu nei, e tumanako atu nei, e kore ahau e whakama i tetahi mea, engari ka tino maia ahau, a ka pera me to nga wa katoa, ka whakanuia ano a te Karaiti aianei e toku tinana, ahakoa i te ora, ahakoa i te mate.
21 Ki ahau hoki ko te ora ko te Karaiti, ko te mate he taonga.
22 Ki te ora ia ahau i te kikokiko, mehemea ko te hua tenei o taku mahi, heoi kahore ahau e mohio ko te aha taku e whiriwhiri ai.
23 E karapitia mai ana hoki ahau e nga mea e rua, he hiahia nei toku ki te haere, kia noho ai ahau ki a te Karaiti; ko te mea tino pai rawa hoki tera:
24 Ko te noho ranei i te kikokiko, ko te mea pai ake hoki tena mo koutou.
25 Na ka u nei toku whakaaro ki tenei, e matau ana ahau tera ahau e noho, ae ra, ka noho iho ahau ki a koutou katoa, hei whakaneke ake, hei whakahari i a koutou i runga i te whakapono;
26 Kia hira rawa ai to koutou whakamanamana i roto i a Karaiti Ihu ki ahau, moku ka noho tahi ano me koutou.
27 Engari kia tika ta koutou whakahaere, kia rite ki ta te rongopai o te Karaiti: na, ahakoa tae atu ahau kia kite i a koutou, ngaro mai ranei, kia rongo tonu atu ahau ki to koutou ahua, kei te tu koutou i runga i te wairua kotahi, i te ngakau kota hi, me te tohe tahi ano ki te whakapono o te rongopai:
28 Kahore hoki he wehi ki tetahi mea a o koutou hoariri: he tohu hoki tenei ki a ratou mo te whakangaromanga, ki a koutou ia mo te ora, i ahu mai i te Atua.
29 No te mea kua hoatu ki a koutou hei meatanga ma koutou ki a te Karaiti, ehara i te mea ko te whakapono anake ki a ia, engari ko te mate ano hoki mo te whakaaro ki a ia;
30 Kei a koutou hoki taua pakanga i kite ra koutou ki ahau, a ka rongo nei inaianei kei ahau.
Philippians 1
New International Version
Philippians 1
New International Version
1 Paul and Timothy,(A) servants of Christ Jesus,
To all God’s holy people(B) in Christ Jesus at Philippi,(C) together with the overseers(D) and deacons[a]:(E)
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(F)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.(G) 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray(H) with joy 5 because of your partnership(I) in the gospel from the first day(J) until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion(K) until the day of Christ Jesus.(L)
7 It is right(M) for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart(N) and, whether I am in chains(O) or defending(P) and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify(Q) how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love(R) may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,(S) 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,(T) 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness(U) that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
Paul’s Chains Advance the Gospel
12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,[b] that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[c] and to everyone else that I am in chains(V) for Christ. 14 And because of my chains,(W) most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.(X)
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.(Y) 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,(Z) not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.(AA) 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers(AB) and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ(AC) what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[d](AD) 20 I eagerly expect(AE) and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage(AF) so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body,(AG) whether by life or by death.(AH) 21 For to me, to live is Christ(AI) and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart(AJ) and be with Christ,(AK) which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
Life Worthy of the Gospel
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy(AL) of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm(AM) in the one Spirit,[e] striving together(AN) as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you(AO) on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer(AP) for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle(AQ) you saw(AR) I had, and now hear(AS) that I still have.
