Filibiya 2

1 In ma yinnu nwo unizu likara nanya Kristi duku. Inma yinnu nwo usoo mang unuzun suume. Inma yinnu nwo ligo nin Ruhu duku. Inma yinnu nwo nkunekune mi cancom nin suun bunu duku.

So then, if you're encouraged by being in Christ, if you're comforted by his love, if you share together in the Spirit, if you have compassion and sympathy—

2 Tan ayiabo nin kulo nin kpiluzu urum ulele, iyitta nin suu urume, inin yita nin munu ati nanya Ruhu, anin suu nsu nimon irume.

then make my joy complete by thinking the same way and loving the same way, spiritually united and having one purpose.

3 Yenje iwasu imonimon bara usuu nati sa ukpilizu unanzang. Na nonkon atime iyenje among nafo ikatin minu.

Don't do anything from a spirit of selfishness or pride, but humbly think of others better than you do of yourself.

4 Yenje iwa kpiliza ubelle nimon ile na idi ninsuwe cas, ama kpilizang imon su namong wang.

None of you should be preoccupied about your own things—instead concern yourself with the interests of others too.

5 Kpilizang libau longo na lidi lin Kristi Yesu wang.

The attitude you should have is the same as that of Christ Jesus.

6 Awa yitta nin kulap Kutelle, ama na awa yaun lissosin me nin Kutelle nafo imon ilenge na ame ma minu ba.

Though in his nature he was always God, he wasn't concerned to cling on to his equality with God.

7 Awa na wese litime nya liti. Ayauna kulap kucin. Anuzu nin kidowon nit usurne. Iwa seghe nin yenju nafo unit.

Instead he emptied himself, taking the nature of a servant, becoming like a human being.

8 Awa toltin litime aso una dortun liru udun kul, ukul un kitene kuca.

Coming in human form, humbling himself, he submitted himself to death—even death on a cross.

9 Bara nani Kutelle uni wa ghantighe. Awa ninghe lissa ubun kolome lissa.

That's why God placed him in the position of greatest honor and power, and gave him the most prestigious name—

10 Awa tinane bara nanya lissa Yesu vat nalung ma tumnu, alung nalenge na idi kitene kani nin kutiin a nanya kutiin.

so that in the name of Jesus everyone should bow in respect, whether in heaven or on earth or under the earth,

11 Awa sunani tutung bara kolome lilem ma punu abellin Yesu Kristi Cikilareri, udun gongon Kutelle Ucif.

and all will declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 Bara nani, anan suuning, nafo na idin dortu kolome liri, na se meng duku ba, ama nene gbardang ka nin salininghe, sun katwa ntuccu mine nin fiu nin ketuzu kiti.

So, my good friends, continue to work towards the goal of salvation with complete reverence and respect for God, following what you were told—not just when I was with you, but even more so now I'm away from you.

13 Bara Kutelleri di katwa nanya mine vat nin yinnu a usu katwa bara nmang me.

For it's God who is working within you, creating the will and the ability to do what he wants you to do.

14 Sun ko iyapin imon sa ugbondulu sa mayardang.

Do everything without complaining or arguing

15 Sun katwa nin nile imone inan so sa alapi nin nono kidegen Kutelle sa indinon. Sun katwa nin nile imone bara inan balta nafo nkanang nanya yii, kitik kuji ku kwarkwok nin dirun fiu Kutelle.

so that you'll be sincere, innocent of any wrong. Be God's blameless children living in the middle of a dishonest and corrupt people. Shine among them as lights to the world,

16 Minon gangan tigbulan nlai bara inan se imon ile na imati gongon lirin Kristi. Kubere nmanin yinnu na nnasu uccum sa katwa kahem ba.

holding out to them the word of life. That way I'll have something to be proud of when Christ returns, proving I didn't run around and work for nothing!

17 Ama ko igutuni nafo unakpu ulau nanyan ni liti nin katwa in yinnu sa uyenu mine, idin su ayiabo, nkuru nsu ayiabo nanghinu vat.

So even if I pour out my life as a sacrifice and offering so you may trust in God, I'm happy for it, and I'm glad together with all of you,

18 Nanya nimon irume, anung wang dinayi abo, a iyitta nayi abo nin mi wang.

just as you have such joy and are glad with me.

19 Ama ndin cisu kibinayi kitin Cikilari Yesu a tuu Timitawus ku nayiri alele, meng wang nase likara asa nlaza nbelle mine.

I'm hoping, if that's what the Lord Jesus wants, to send Timothy to you soon. It will cheer me up once I know how you're doing.

20 Bara na ndi nin mong tutung nafo ame ba, urika na adi nin nayi acine bara anunghe.

I don't know anyone who genuinely cares about you as he does.

21 Bara vat mine din pizuru imon nati minere, na imon Yesu Kristi ba.

Other people only worry about their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

22 Ama fe yiru imon ile na adi, nafo na gono asa asuu ucife katwa, nanenere ame di katwa nin mi nanya nlirun laiye.

But you already know what he's like—just as a child working to help his father, so he's worked with me to spread the good news.

23 Ndin kpilizu ntuughe na nin molu kubi ba asa in yene ucin nimone kiti ninghe.

So I hope to send him as soon as I see how I'm doing,

24 Ama ndi ni kibinayi kirum nin Cikilari nworu meng liti ninghe wang ma dak na nin dadaunu ba.

and I trust in the Lord that shortly I'll be able to come too.

25 Ama inyene ukifo gbas ntuu Epaparoditus ku ukpillu kiti mine. Ame gwana nighari nin don katwa ning udu likum ning, a gono kadura nin kucin nsuu ning.

But I thought it was important to send Epaphroditus to you. He's a brother to me, a co-worker and fellow-soldier. He's the one you sent to look after me,

26 Bara awa lanza kuyamine kang, amini wa yita ni suu awadi amal zuru nan ghinu vat, anung na lanza na adi ucine ba.

and he's been longing to see all of you, worried about you because you'd heard he was sick.

27 Nanere, awa su kidowo kang nafo aba ku. Ama Kutelle na lanza nkunekune me, a na ame usamme ba, umunju mengku wang bara nwa se liburi lisirne kitene liburi lisirne.

He certainly was sick—he nearly died—but God had mercy on him. Not just on him, but on me too, so that I wouldn't have tragedy upon tragedy.

28 Nene nkipina usuu nworu ntuughe, bara andi iyeneghe tutung imanin yitu nin nayiabo ima kalu njirjir nibinayi mine.

That's why I'm so keen to send him, so that when you see him you'll be happy, and I won't have to be so anxious.

29 Seren Epaporoditus ku nin naburi abo nanyan Cikilari. Taan anit nafo ame ngongong.

So welcome him with much happiness in the Lord—honor people like him,

30 Bara kitene katwan Kristiari awa lantin uku. Awa nari ulai me anan suyi katwa nin kulunu katwa kanga nafe wa yinnin usue ba nanyaa katwa ninghe.

because in working for Christ he nearly died, putting his life on the line to make up for the help you weren't in a position to give me.
