Philippians 2
1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
Naizvozvo kana kune imwe kurudziro kuna Kristu, kana imwe nyaradzo yerudo, kana kumwe kudyidzana kweMweya, kana mune umwe moyo munyoro nemukunzwira tsitsi,
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
zadzisai mufaro wangu, kuti muve nefungwa imwe, muve nerudo rumwe, nemweya umwe, nendangariro imwe;
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
musingaiti chinhu nenharo kana nekuzvikudza kusina maturo, asi mukuzvininipisa kwemoyo umwe neumwe achikudza vamwe kukupfuurai pakunaka;
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
umwe neumwe ngaarege kutarira zvake, asi umwe neumwe zvinhu zvevamwewo.
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
Nokuti fungwa iyi ngaive mamuri, yakange iri muna Kristu Jesuwo;
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
iye ari muchimiro chaMwari, haana kurangarira kuti kuenzana naMwari kupamba;
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
asi wakazviita asina maturo, akatora chimiro chemuranda, akava mumufananidzo wevanhu;
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
akati awanikwa muchimiro chemunhu, akazvininipisa, akava wakateerera kusvikira parufu, irwo rufu rwemuchinjikwa.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
Naizvozvo Mwariwo wakamukudza zvikuru, akamupa zita rinopfuura zita rimwe nerimwe;
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
kuti muzita raJesu ibvi rese rifugame, revekudenga nevepanyika, nevepasi penyika,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
uye rurimi rwega-rwega rwupupure kuti Jesu Kristu ndiye Ishe, kuve rumbidzo yaMwari Baba.
12 So 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.
Naizvozvo, vadikanwi vangu, sezvamakateerera nguva dzese, kwete sepakuvapo kwangu chete, asi ikozvino kunyanyisa pakusavapo kwangu, shandai ruponeso rwenyu pachenyu nekutya nekudedera;
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
nokuti ndiMwari anoshanda mamuri, zvese kuda nekuita nekuda kwechido chake chakanaka.
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
Itai zvinhu zvese musinganyunyuti nekupikisana;
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
kuti muve vakachena uye vasina chavangapomerwa, vana vaMwari vasina gwapa pakati perudzi rwakakombama nekutsauka, vamunopenya pakati pavo sezviedza munyika,
16 holding 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.
muchitaridza shoko reupenyu, pakuzvikudza kwangu nezuva raKristu, kuti handina kumhanya pasina, kana kushanda pasina.
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Asi kana neni ndikadururwa sechibairo chinodururwa pamusoro pechibairo nebasa rerutendo rwenyu, ndinofara uye ndinofara nemwi mese.
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Nekuda kweizvozvi imwiwo mufare uye mufare pamwe neni.
19 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.
Asi ndinovimba muna Ishe Jesu kutumira Timotio kwamuri nekukurumidza, kuti iniwo ndifare pandinoziva zviri maererano nemwi.
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
Nokuti handina munhu ane fungwa yakadaro, achava nehanya zvirokwazvo nezvenyu.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Nokuti vese vanozvitsvakira zvavo, kwete zvinhu zviri zvaKristu Jesu.
22 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.
Asi munoziva kutendeka kwake, kuti semwana kuna baba wakashanda pamwe neni paevhangeri.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Zvino ndiye wandinotarisira kutumira kwamuri pakarepo, kana ndaona zvakanangana neni;
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
asi ndinovimba muna Ishe kuti iniwo ndomene ndichakurumidza kuuya.
25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
Asi ndakaona zvakafanira kutuma kwamuri Epafrodito, hama, nemushandi pamwe neni neuto pamwe neni, asi nhume yenyu nemushumiri wekushaiwa kwangu;
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
sezvo akange achikushuvai mese, uye akatambudzika, nokuti makange manzwa kuti wakange achirwara.
27 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.
Nokuti zvirokwazvo wakange achirwara ari pedo nekufa; asi Mwari wakamunzwira tsitsi; kwete iye ega, asi neni, kuti ndirege kuva neshungu pamusoro peshungu.
28 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.
Naizvozvo ndakashingaira zvikuru kumutuma, kuti kana momuonazve mufare, neni shungu dzangu dziderere zvikuru.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
Naizvozvo mugamuchirei muna Ishe nemufaro wese, uye mubate vakadai neruremekedzo;
30 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.
nokuti nekuda kwebasa raKristu wakaswedera pakufa, asingarangariri upenyu hwake, kuti akwanise kushaiwa kundishumira kwenyu.
