eng: concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

eng: Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai, aeꞌ aꞌi iꞌi basef aeꞌafi hiꞌilif naꞌamba. Ipaꞌ sonendahepa ma Dembinai. Aeꞌ ina okom nimanima endaꞌ basef ifimba atif dokoꞌ aliꞌ agaꞌipasafi, owaꞌ. Ifimba fegalaꞌambemepa ma amam awami.


eng: Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

aoj: Eaꞌ ipaꞌ pendagala endilisi pegefaꞌana ma agol Dembinaii. Pendasaꞌma agofa amam naꞌambaimi.


eng: because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, anen ina okom mandandaꞌ ma nogape namona, owaꞌatin. Anen okom mohafela maol Kraisi eaꞌ felefeleꞌ nogaꞌ ma nogatopalope. Anen okom mapome. Deiꞌ main, ipaꞌ papani laogon anen nahaꞌofepa nandaꞌ isimba.

eng: I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

aoj: Eaꞌ aeꞌ okom maꞌi aꞌowaꞌ ma esapaꞌana nogafeꞌmago ipaꞌ maꞌ petolona pendagala ma opaf aeꞌafi awanef.


eng: For 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.

aoj: Endilisi fowaꞌ anen awasina naꞌi nogaꞌ. Owaꞌ God nati anen uwahipina. Apaꞌ ina nati anen atotona uwahipina, owaꞌatin. Nati aeꞌ uwahipiwi wapani. Anen nandaiwaꞌ aꞌowaꞌ ma opaf nimanifi fosoꞌalowe ma Epafroditus nogagaꞌ.

aoj: Nembel ananimbili balef aꞌowaꞌ ma naꞌi nogatilipa. Eaꞌ anen okom nimanima ipaꞌ pagameꞌ basefa aowas nandaꞌana.


eng: But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

eng: Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

aoj: Iꞌi afamba egegawa hiahaom hiami motagame miꞌimama, daoꞌ esapaꞌana nefeꞌmago ipaꞌ kwafalis.


eng: But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

eng: But 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.

eng: Only 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;

aoj: Deiꞌ feꞌ ipeꞌini nefeꞌ usiꞌin nindaila basef buꞌwafi Kraisi. Iꞌi aeꞌ egafeꞌmago ipeꞌma, aꞌa iꞌi egameꞌ basef atifa ipaꞌ ma, eaꞌ hapaimi. Aꞌi ataꞌ egawa ipaꞌ palutu banagepa opaf atotof pendatopalopa atina pegasaꞌma esisa sogahapifa basef ifimba buꞌwafi


eng: that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

aoj: Ama nemaf afamba efoꞌo etaga epe egalomepa, ipaꞌ pendagala ma Krais Jisas aꞌowaꞌ.


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

aoj: Aeꞌ egawa isimba endilisi. Eaꞌ egawa atiasi ataꞌ epe atapiwi endaꞌ maol elomepa etopalopepa ma pendagala pihapifa Krais pigikilaꞌ fowaꞌ paliꞌ pagape.

eng: But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

aoj: Aeꞌ okom biafima isimba. Aeꞌ okom maꞌi efeꞌ epe eloma Krais. Naꞌambai andeandeꞌ aꞌowaꞌ ikilaꞌ poe itapani.


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

aoj: Iꞌi ataꞌ egape namowe atapiwi itap apaꞌema, bola endaꞌ maol buꞌwani Godi. Apaꞌ aeꞌ ataꞌ ila ufiaꞌw mamahoꞌwa? Aeꞌ ina egawaꞌw.

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

aoj: Isima sogawa aeꞌ ape naꞌae ma andaꞌ basef buꞌwami Godi mataga laꞌifim. Eaꞌ esis ukup maimaili sawalapa basef buꞌwami.


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

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌias endilisi ma naep Godi. Anen nogawa okom uwahipimi Krais Jisasi masaꞌma aeꞌ eaꞌ okom mohafel endilisi maimailipa ma igati ipaꞌ hipai.


eng: It 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.

aoj: Aeꞌ ahapila ipaꞌ okom aeꞌami, egawa God notopalopepa deiꞌ anaf wapani naꞌamba atin. Isimba andeandeꞌ. Deiꞌ main, apaꞌ mandalaꞌatanima atina maol ananini.

eng: I thank my God whenever I remember you,

aoj: Nemaf mamahefa aeꞌ okom mandandaꞌ ma ipaꞌ, anifela God aeꞌanai ma ipaꞌ.
