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,
Bí ìwọ bá ní ìmúlọ́kànle nítorí pé ìwọ wà ní ìṣọ̀kan pẹ̀lú Kristi, bi ìtùnú kan bá wà nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, bí ìdàpọ̀ Ẹ̀mí kan bá wà, bí ìyọ́nú àti ìṣeun bá wà,
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
síbẹ̀ ẹ mú ayọ̀ mi kún nínú ìṣọ̀kan yín, nípa ìfẹ́ kan náà, wíwà ní ẹ̀mí kan náà àti ète kan náà.
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
Ẹ má ṣe ohunkóhun nínú ìlépa ara tàbí ògo asán, ṣùgbọ́n ní ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ ọkàn kí olúkúlùkù ro àwọn ẹlòmíràn sí ẹni ti ó sàn ju òun lọ.
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
Kí olúkúlùkù yín má ṣe ro ohun ti ara rẹ̀ nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ti ẹlòmíràn pẹ̀lú.
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
Nínú ìbáṣepọ̀ yin pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlòmíràn, ẹ ni irú ìlépa ọkàn náà bí ti Kristi Jesu.
6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Ẹni tí, bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ ìrísí Ọlọ́run, kò kà á sí ohun tí ìbá fi ìwọra gbámú láti bá Ọlọ́run dọ́gba.
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó bọ́ ògo rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì mú àwọ̀ ìránṣẹ́, a sì ṣe é ni àwòrán ènìyàn.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
Ó sì wà ní àwòrán ènìyàn, ó rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, o sì tẹríba títí de ojú ikú, àní ikú lórí àgbélébùú.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run ti gbé e ga sí ipele tí ó ga jùlọ, ó sì ti fi orúkọ kan ti ó borí gbogbo orúkọ fún un,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
pé ni orúkọ Jesu ni kí gbogbo eékún máa wólẹ̀, ní ọ̀run, àti ní orí ilẹ̀ ayé àti ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
àti pé kí gbogbo ahọ́n jẹ́wọ́ pé, Jesu Kristi ni Olúwa, fún ògo Ọlọ́run 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.
Nítorí náà ẹ̀yin ará mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin ti ń gbọ́rọ̀ nígbà gbogbo, kì í ṣe nígbà ti mo wà lọ́dọ̀ yín nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n pàápàá nísinsin yìí tí èmi kò sí ni àárín yín, ẹ máa ṣiṣẹ́ ìgbàlà yín yọrí pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù àti ìwárìrì,
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
nítorí pé Ọlọ́run ni ó n ṣiṣẹ́ nínú yín, láti fẹ́ àti láti ṣiṣẹ́ fún ète rere rẹ̀.
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
Ẹ máa ṣe ohun gbogbo láìsí ìkùnsínú àti ìjiyàn.
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,
Kí ẹ̀yin lè jẹ́ aláìlẹ́gàn àti oníwà mímọ́, ọmọ Ọlọ́run, aláìlábàwọ́n, láàrín oníwà wíwọ́ àti alárékérekè orílẹ̀-èdè láàrín àwọn ẹni tí a ń rí yín bí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ní ayé.
16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
Bí ẹ sì ṣe di ọ̀rọ̀ ìyè mú gírígírí, kí èmi lè ṣògo ni ọjọ́ Kristi pé èmi kò sáré lásán, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò sì ṣe làálàá lásán.
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Ṣùgbọ́n, bí a tilẹ̀ ń dà mí bí ọtí-ìrúbọ sórí ẹbọ iṣẹ́ ìsìn ìgbàgbọ́ yín, inú mi dùn, mo sì ń bá gbogbo yín yọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Bákan náà ni kí ẹ̀yin máa yọ̀, kí ẹ sì máa bá mi yọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
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.
Mo ni ìrètí nínú Jesu Olúwa, láti rán Timotiu sí yín ni àìpẹ́ yìí, kí èmi pẹ̀lú lè ni ìfọ̀kànbalẹ̀ nígbà tí mo bá gbúròó yín.
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
Nítorí èmi kò ni ẹlòmíràn tí ó dàbí rẹ̀, tí yóò máa fi tinútinú ṣe àníyàn yín.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Nítorí gbogbo wọn ni ó tọ́jú nǹkan ti ara wọn, kì í ṣe àwọn nǹkan ti Jesu Kristi.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé Timotiu pegedé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ lọ́dọ̀ baba rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì ti ń bá mi ṣiṣẹ́ pọ̀, nínú iṣẹ́ ìyìnrere.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Nítorí náà, mo ní ìrètí láti rán sí yín ní àìpẹ́ tí mo bá wòye bí yóò ti rí fún mi.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo ní gbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú Olúwa, pé èmi tìkára mi pẹ̀lú yóò wá ní àìpẹ́.
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,
Mo kà á sí pé n kò lè ṣàìrán Epafiroditu arákùnrin mi sí yín, àti olùbáṣiṣẹ́ pọ̀ mi, àti ọmọ-ogun ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi, ìránṣẹ́ yín pẹ̀lú, tí ẹ rán láti ṣè ránṣẹ́ fún mi nínú àìní mi.
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
Nítorí tí ọkàn rẹ̀ fà sí gbogbo yín, ó sì kún fún ìbànújẹ́, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin gbọ́ pé ó ṣe àìsàn.
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.
Nítòótọ́ ni ó ti ṣe àìsàn títí dé ojú ikú, ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ti ṣàánú fún un; kì í sì í ṣe fún òun nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n fún èmi pẹ̀lú kí èmi má ṣe ni ìbànújẹ́ lórí ìbànújẹ́.
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.
Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe ní ìtara láti rán an, pé nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá sì tún rí i, kí ẹ̀yin lè yọ̀ àti kí ìkáyà sókè mi lè dínkù.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
Nítorí náà, ẹ fi ayọ̀ púpọ̀ gbà á nínú Olúwa; kí ẹ sì máa bu ọlá fún irú àwọn ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí iṣẹ́ Kristi ni ó ṣe súnmọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà ikú, tí ó sì fi ẹ̀mí ara rẹ̀ wéwu, láti mu àìtó iṣẹ́ ìsìn yín sí mi kún.
