Bafilipi 2
1 A go na le sengwe se se tshwanang jaaka Bakeresete ba itumelelana? A lo nthata thata go batla go nthusa? A go raya sengwe mo go lona gore re bakaulengwe mo Moreneng, re tlhakanetse mowa o le mongwe fela? A tota dipelo tsa lona di bonolo le bopelotlhomogi?
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Jalo he, dirang gore ke nne le boitumelo jo bogolo ka go ratana le go dumalana ka dipelo tsotlhe, lo dira mmogo ka pelo e le nngwe fela le mogopolo o le mongwe fela le ka maikaelelo a le mangwe fela.
Fulfill you my joy, that you be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Lo seka lwa nna pelotshetlha; lo seka lwa dira ditiro tse di molemo gore lo tlotlomadiwe. Ikokobetseng, lo tseye ba bangwe jaaka ekete ba botoka mo go lona.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Se akanyeng fela kaga dilo tse e leng tsa lona mme nnang le kgatlhego le mo go ba bangwe, le mo go tse ba di dirang.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Maikutlo a lona a tshwanetse go nna a mofuta o re o supegeditsweng ke Jesu Keresete,
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 yo o rileng le fa e ne e le Modimo, a se ka a batla ditshwanelo tsa gagwe jaaka Modimo.
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 Mme a baya fa thoko nonofo ya gagwe e kgolo le kgalalelo, a tsaya setshwano sa motlhanka mme a nna jaaka batho.
But made himself of no reputation, and took on him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 Mme o ne a ikokobetsa go feta foo, mo e leng gore o ne a bo a swa loso lo lo tshwanang le lwa senokwane mo mokgorong.
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
9 Le fa go ntse jalo e ne e le ka ntlha ya gone mo, mo Modimo o neng wa mo tsholeletsa kwa legodimong mme wa mo naya leina le le fetang maina otlhe,
Why God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 gore ka leina la ga Jesu mangole otlhe a tlaa khubama mo legodimong le mo lefatshing le ka fa tlase ga lefatshe,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 diteme tsotlhe di tlaa bolela fa Jesu Keresete e le Morena, go ya kgalalelong ya Modimo Rara.
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Ditsala tse di rategang, erile fa ke na le lona koo, le ne lo tlhokomela ka nako tsotlhe go latela ditaolo tsa me. Mme jaanong ka ke seyo lo tshwanetse go tlhokomela thata go dira dilo tse di siameng tse di felelelang mo polokong, lo ikobela Modimo ka tshisimogo e kgolo, lo ikgape mo go tsotlhe tse di ka tlhokang go o itumedisa.
Why, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 Gonne Modimo o a dira mo go lona, o lo thusa gore lo rate go o ikobela, ebile o lo thusa go dira se o se ratang.
For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Mo go sengwe le sengwe se lo se dirang, kgaoganang le go ngongorega le go ganetsanya,
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 gore ope a se ka a lo bona molato. Lo tshwanetse go tshela lo le phepa, matshelo a a phepa jaaka bana ba Modimo mo lefatshing le le lefifi le le tletseng batho ba ba kgopo le logwadi. Phatsimang mo go bone lo le masedi a lefatshe,
That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the middle of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;
16 lo ba tsholetse Lefoko la Botshelo. Mme fa Keresete a boa, ke tlaa itumela jang gore tiro ya me mo go lona e ne e atlegile thata.
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
17 Mme fa madi a me a botshelo, go bua jalo ke raya gore a tshwanetse go tshelwa mo tumelong ya lona e ke e neelang Modimo e le setlhabelo, mo go raya gore fa ke tshwanetse go swa ka ntlha ya lona, le gone ke tlaa nna ke itumela, mme ke tlaa tlhakanela boitumelo jwa me le mongwe le mongwe wa lona.
Yes, and if I be offered on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 Gonne lo tshwanetse go itumela le kaga se, mme lo ipeleng le nna ka ntlha ya go nna le tshwanelo ya go lo swela.
For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
19 Fa Modimo o rata, ke tlaa romela Timotheo go ya go lo bona ka bonako. Mme fa a bowa o ka intumedisa ka go mpolelela gotlhe kaga lona le gore lo dira jang;
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 ga go ope yo o tshwanang le Timotheo yo o nang le kgatlhego e kgolo mo go lona;
For I have no man like minded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 mongwe le mongwe o bonala a tshwenyega kaga dilo tse e leng tsa gagwe e seng tsa ga Jesu Keresete.
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 Mme lo itse Timotheo. O ntse fela jaaka morwaake mo go nthuseng go rera Mafoko a a Molemo.
But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Ke solofela gore ke tlaa mo romela kwa go lona ka bonako fa ke sena go bona gore ke tsile go diragalelwa ke eng kwano.
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 Ebile ke tshepa Morena gore ka bofefo nna ka sebele ke ka tla go lo bona.
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Mme ka lobakanyana ka gopola gore ke tshwanetse go busetsa Epaforodito gape kwa go lona. Lo mo rometse go nthusa mo go tse ke di tlhokang; nna le ene re ntse re le bakaulengwe tota, re dira re bile re le batlhabani mmogo.
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26 Jaanong ke mmusetsa gae gape, gonne o ntse a lo tlhwaafaletse lotlhe ebile a hutsahetse thata ka ntlha ya gore lo utlwile fa a lwala.
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that you had heard that he had been sick.
27 Mme ka boammaaruri o ne a lwala; tota le gone o batlile go swa. Mme Modimo o ne wa mo tlhomogela pelo mmogo le nna, wa se ka wa letla gore ke nne le bohutsana jo, mo godimo ga dilo tsotlhe.
For indeed he was sick near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow on sorrow.
28 Jalo ke rata thata go mmusetsa gape kwa go lona, gonne ke itse ka fa lo tlaa itumelang ka gone go mmona, mme seo se tlaa intumedisa se bo se fokotsa mahutsana ame.
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Mo amogeleng mo Moreneng ka boitumelo jo bogolo, mme lo supe gore lo itumeletse go tla ga gagwe,
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30 gonne o ne a tsenya botshelo jwa gagwe mo diphatseng ka ntlha ya tiro ya ga Keresete mme o batlile go swa fa a santse a leka go ntirela dilo tse lo sa kakeng lwa di dira ka go bo lo ne lo le kgakala le nna.
Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
