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.

If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,

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.

united by mutual love, with harmony of feeling giving your minds to one and the same object.

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

Do nothing in a spirit of factiousness or of vainglory, but, with true humility, let every one regard the rest as being of more account than himself;

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

each fixing his attention, not simply on his own interests, but on those of others also.

5 Kpilizang libau longo na lidi lin Kristi Yesu wang.

Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus.

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

Although from the beginning He had the nature of God He did not reckon His equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped.

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

Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men.

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

And being recognized as truly human, He humbled Himself and even stooped to die; yes, to die on a cross.

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

It is in consequence of this that God has also so highly exalted Him, and has conferred on Him the Name which is supreme above every other,

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

in order that in the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, of those on the earth, and of those in the underworld,

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

and that every tongue should confess 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.

Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling--not merely as though I were present with you, but much more now since I am absent from you--labour earnestly, I say, to make sure of your own salvation.

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

For it is God Himself whose power creates within you the desire to do His gracious will and also brings about the accomplishment of the desire.

14 Sun ko iyapin imon sa ugbondulu sa mayardang.

Be ever on your guard against a grudging and contentious spirit,

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 may always prove yourselves to be blameless and spotless--irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as heavenly lights in 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 a Message of Life. It will then be my glory on the day of Christ that I did not run my race in vain nor toil in vain.

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.

Nay, even if my life is to be poured as a libation upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I rejoice, and I congratulate you all.

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

And I bid you also share my gladness, and congratulate me.

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

But, if the Lord permits it, I hope before long to send Timothy to you, that I, in turn, may be cheered by getting news of you.

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

For I have no one likeminded with him, who will cherish a genuine care for you.

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

Everybody concerns himself about his own interests, not about 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 know Timothy's approved worth--how, like a child working with his father, he has served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

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

So it is he that I hope to send as soon as ever I see how things go with me;

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

but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall myself also come to you before long.

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.

Yet I deem it important to send Epaphroditus to you now--he is my brother and comrade both in labour and in arms, and is your messenger who has ministered to my needs.

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

I send him because he is longing to see you all and is distressed at your having heard of his illness.

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.

For it is true that he has been ill, and was apparently at the point of death; but God had pity on him, and not only on him, but also on me, to save me from having sorrow upon sorrow.

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

I am therefore all the more eager to send him, in the hope that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have the less sorrow.

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

Receive him therefore with heartfelt Christian joy, and hold in honour men 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 it was for the sake of Christ's work that he came so near death, hazarding, as he did, his very life in endeavouring to make good any deficiency that there might be in your gifts to me.
