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,
Labha kuliwo okukomesibhwa mu Kristo. Labha kuliwo okufung'ama okusoka ku lyenda lyaye. Labha bhuliwo obhumwi bhwa Mwoyo. Labha chiliwo echigongo no okusasila.
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
Mbe mumalishe ubhukondelwa bhwani kwo obhwiganilisha bhumwi muli ne elyenda limwi, muli no obhumwi mu mwoyo, na muli na injila imwi.
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
Mwasiga kukolela omutubho no okwikuya. Tali mubhe bhololo nimulola abhandi okubha bhekisi muno okukila emwe.
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
Bhuli umwi wemwe asiga okwangalila ubhukene bhwaye enyele, tali angalile obhukene bhwa abhandi ona
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
Mbe mubhe no obhwiganilisha lwa bhunu alinabhwo Kristo.
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Ko omwene atateshenye na Nyamuanga. Nawe ateyunguywe ati okubha lwa Nyamuanga ni chinu cho okulumatana nacho.
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
Nasiga jona ejo, omwenekili nekeya. Nagega olususo lwo omukosi. Naja agegele olususo lwo mwanamunu.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
Omwene ekeyishe nabha wokungwa okukingila nafwa, nafwa kumusalabha.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
Kulwejo Nyamuanga amukusishe muno. Amuyanile lisina ekulu likilile bhuli esina.
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
Akolele kutyo koleleki mwi lisina lya Yesu bhusibhusi bhuli munu atele ebhiju. Ebhiju bya bhanu bhali mulwile na bhanu bhali ingulu ne emwalo ya insi.
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Akolele kutyo koleleki bhuli lulimi lwaike ati Yesu Kristo ni Mukama, kulwa likusyo lyo Lata Nyamuanga.
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.
Kulwejo, bhendwa bhani lwakutyo omungwa nsiku jona, kutali ati nikasanga niliamwi nemwe nawe nolwo nikasanga nitaliwo, mubhe na amanaga no omwelulo gwemwe kwo obhubha no kuyalala.
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Kulwokubha Nyamuanga niwe kakola emilimu munda yemwe koleleki abhasakile okwiganilisha no okukola amagambo ganu agamukondelesha.
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
Mukole amagambo gona obhutalunduma no okuyakana.
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,
Mukole kutyo koleleki mutalundumilwa, mubhe bhana bha Nyamuanga bhalengelesi mutali na kakojole. Mbe mukole kutyo koleleki mubhe lumuli lwe echalo, mu lwibhulo olunyamuke no olubhibhi.
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.
Mugwatilile muno omusango gwo obhuanga koleleki nibhe na insonga yo okukusha kulunaku lwa Kristo. Niwo nimenye ati nitabhilimaga kubhusha omwanya nolwo nitenyashaga bhila nsonga.
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Nawe nolwo labha abhanyisiga lwe echiyanwa ingulu ye echitambo na ohhufulubhendi bhwe elikilisha lyemwe, enikondelelwa, na enikondelelwa amwi nemwe bhona.
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Emwe ona omukondelelwa, no omukondelelwa amwi nanye.
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.
Nawe eniikanya ku Mukama Yesu okumutuma Timoteo kwimwe akatungu kanu, koleleki nitulwemo omwoyo nikamenya emisango jemwe.
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
Kulwokubha nitanaundi lwo omwene unu ali no obhumenyi bhwo okulola amagambo lwo omwene, unu ali nobhwiganilisha bhwe echimali ingulu yemwe.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Abhandi abho nakatumile abhemenya ku bhwebhwe, emisango ja Yesu Kristo bhatajimenya.
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.
Nawe omumenya obhukonde bhwaye, kulwokubha ali lwo omwana kutyo kasakila esemwene, nikwo kutyo akolele nanye emilimu ja Iinjili.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Kulwejo eniikanya okumutuma bhwangu nikamenya chinu chilija okumbona.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
Nawe enikomelesha ku Mukama ati anye omwene omwanya gutali mulela nilija.
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,
Nawe eniganilisha ati ni kisi okumusubhya Epafuradito kwemwe. Omwene ni muili wani na ni mukosi wejasu na nimusilikale wejasu, ni musolwa na nimukosi wemwe ingulu yo obhukene bhwani.
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
Kulwokubha aliga no obhubha na aliga nenda okwiyanja amwi nemwe bhona, okubha mwonguywe aliga nasibhwa.
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.
Kunsonga nichimali aliga nasibhwa alimugafwa. Nawe Nyamuanga namusasila, na echigongo echo chaliga chitali ingulu yaye ela, tali chaliga chili ingulu yani ona, koleleki nitalibhona obhusulumbaye bhunene.
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.
Kulwejo namusubhya kwemwe bhwangu, koleleki mkamubhona lindi mukondelelwe amwi nanye nikawamo olujugumo.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
Mumukaribhishe Epafradito mwisina lyo Omukama no obhukondelelwa bhwafu. Muyanega echibhalo abhanu bhejabho unu.
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.
Kulwokubha kulwe emilimu ja Kristo alebheleye okufwa. Ateye obhulame bhwaye muntambala koleleki anchungule, nakola echo mutatulile okukola okunfulubhendela kwokubha mwaliga mulikula nanye.
