Wafilipi 2
1 Maana ibile yeyelusa moyo katika kristo. mana ibile falaja katika pendo lyake maana ibile kwina ushiika wa roho. mana ibile rehema na lusongo.
If [there is] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Mwikamilisho furha yango kwa panga mamope mubeupondo gumo, mubile mwabano katika riho na mubile nalikusudi limo.
Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
3 kwa monge kwa ubinafsi na majivuno isipokuwa kwa linyenyekevu mwana mwabweni benge bora zaidi yinu.
[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Kila yumo winu kanaalinge baimahitaji gake binafsi, kae kwaajili mahitaji gabenge.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 mubee nania kati ya bilenayo yesu kriisto.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Ingawa hwembe nisawa, na nnongo. Lakini ajalileli kolwa basanu na nnongo nikilebe sakamwana naso.
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 Badala yake atikwiuluya mwene. atweli umbo la maanda. atitike katika mfono wa binadamu.
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 Abonikine mwanadamu. Hwembe apeile lina lalipita kila lina.
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
9 Nyo basi nnongo atikumtukuzo sana. apale lina likolo lalipeta kila lina.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 Apangitenya ilikwamba katika lina la yesu kila lijua sharti lijinamike. majua gagabile nakunani ya aridhi.
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] on earth, and [things] under the earth;
11 Naapangike nya ilikwamba kila lumi lukiri kwakwansa yesu kristo ni nngwana, kwa utukufu wa nnongo tate.
And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Kwanyo basi, mwapendwa bango kati mwanutii masobagoti, situ katika obile wongo lakini sasa ni zaidi sana hata pange baa ubone kiniwango, mwaajilibike uwokovu winu mwabene kwayogopa nalendene.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye 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 Kwa kuwa nnongo hwapanga kazi nkati yhinu ilikumwezesha kunia napanga mambo gagamendeza hwembe.
For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.
14 Mupange mambo goti bila malaamiko na mitau.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 Mupange nyoilikwamba mube bweya wadamia, katika kibelekwe cha uhasi na wovu.
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Mukamwe sana neo la ukolo ili kwamba ni benasababu yatukweza lisiba lya kristo. kisha natanga kwamba nibutwikeli lubilo bure wala mbalikeli taaba bure.
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 Lakini atakabanimimin akati sadaka juu ya dhabihu nahuduma ya imani yinu, nenda pulaika, na nenda pulaika namwenga mwabote.
And if I am even offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 Nyongo na mwenga kae mwenda pulaika pa mope nanae.
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
19 Lakini nenda tumaini katika nngwana yesukumtuma Timotheo kwinu hivi karibuni, ilikwamba niweze yeyelwa moyo panatanga mambo ginu.
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 Kwakua bileli nayhwenge mwenye nitazomo kati wake, mwene nia ya kweli waajiinu.
For I have no man like-minded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 Benge bote nabatuma kwinu bapala mambo gabe binafsi bai, nasiyo mambo ya yesu kristo.
For all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22 Lakini nitengite saniini yake, kwassababu kati mwana mwahudumiwa na tatebake, ngamwatunike pamope nane katika injili.
But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Kwaiyo nitumaini kumtuma haraka pinditu pana tanga kilegan chachapitya kwango.
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 Lakimitibile na haki katika nngana kwamba nenga namwne kae naisa hivikaribuni.
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Lakini nitikiia ni muhimu kumkeleboya kwinu epatra dito. hwembe ni nongo wangu na mpanga kazi nyango na skari nyango, mjumbe namtumishi winu kwaajili ya mahitaji gango.
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 Kwa saababu abile nahofu na apendile banamwenga mwaboti, kwakuwa mwayone kwamba endeminya.
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because ye had heard that he was sick.
27 Maana hakika endeminya sana kiasi chawai. lakini nnongo amekile lwongo, na wema wabile kunami yake bai, lakini kae wabile kunami yango ilikwamba kananibe nahuzuri juu huzari
For indeed he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Kwanyo ninkeleboya kwinu haraka iwezekanavyo ilikwamba panwa mwanajabe mpate palaika nanenga niboilwe wasiwasi.
I sent him therefore the more speedily, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Mumkaribishe epakadila katika nngwana kwafuraha yote. mwaheshimu bandu kati hwembe.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30 Kwa kuwa yabile kwaajili ya kazi ya kristo akiribia waatarishe maisha gake ilikumiokoa nenga naapangite sibo ambacho mwakombwili panga katika kunihadumia nenga kwa mubile kutalu nane.
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh to death, not regarding his life, to supply the want of your service towards me.
