Ŵafilipi 2
1 Ana umi wenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito ukuntaga machili? Ana unonyelo wao ukuntulasya? Ana nkwete umo ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kukolelana chanasa ni kukosyana jwine ni jwine?
Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship from the Spirit, if any tenderness and acts of compassion,
2 Nipele ngummenda nlugumbasye lukondwa lwangu kwa nganisyo simo ni kwa unonyelo umo ni kwa ntima umo ni nningwa umo.
make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
3 Kasintenda chindu chachili chose kwa kukangana atamuno kwa kulikanganichila nambo nlitulusye jwine kwa jwine, jwalijose ammalanjile njakwe jwambone kumpunda nsyene.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard one another as being better than yourselves.
4 Mundu jwalijose akasosa kutenda indu yaikunsangalalisya nsyene nambo asose kutenda indu yaikwasangalalisya ŵandu ŵane.
Let each of you look out not only for his own concerns, but also for what concerns others.
5 Nkolanje ntima uwowo waalinawo Kilisito Yesu.
In fact, let this mindset be in you that was also in Christ Jesus,
6 Namose Kilisito ŵaliji chisau Akunnungu, nambo nganaganichisya kuti kuŵa chisau Akunnungu, chili chindu chakukamulana nacho.
who, existing in God's form, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 Nambo ŵalesile indu yose yaili yakwe, ŵaliji mpela jwakutumichila, ŵapagwile ni kuŵa mundu mpela ŵandu ŵane.
but divested Himself, taking a slave's form, coming to be in the likeness of men.
8 Ŵalitulwisye ni kwajitichisya Akunnungu mpaka kwasika, elo, kwasika pa nsalaba.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross!
9 Kwa ligongo lyo Akunnungu ŵannyakwile mwinani nnope, ŵapele liina lyekulu kugapunda meena gose,
Indeed, that is why God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name,
10 kuti kwakuchimbichikwa kwa liina lya Che Yesu, yepanganyikwe yose yaili kwinani, ni yaili pachilambo, ni indu yaili paasi chilambo chitindiŵale paujo pao,
so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow—of those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth—
11 ni mundu jwalijose asale kwa kang'wa jakwe kuti, Che Yesu Kilisito ali Ambuje kwa ukulu wa Akunnungu Atati.
and every tongue will acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Sovereign, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Nipele, achambusanga ŵangu ŵakunonyelwa, mpela imwatite kwitichisya moŵa gose panaliji kukwenu, chiŵe yambone mwajendelechelaga kunyitichisya pa moŵa gano pandalichile ni ŵanyamwe. Njendelechele kuipanganya yambone yaikuilana ni ukulupusyo wenu kwa kutetemela ni kwa lipamba mpaka ukulupusyo wenu pachiumalile.
So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed (not only in my presence but now much more in my absence), keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
13 Pakuŵa Akunnungu akupanganya masengo munkati mwenu ni kumpa ntima wakusaka ni ukombole wa kupanganya aila yakuisaka asyene.
because God Himself is the One at work in you, both to will and to produce, for His good pleasure.
14 Mpanganye yaili yose panganyinyita atamuno pangakangana,
Do all things without grumbling or arguing,
15 kuti mme ŵanache ŵa usyene ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵangali ni sambi, ŵankutama pasikati ja chilambo changalumbana ni chelyungasiche. Mmoneche pasikati jao nti ndondwa, syasikulanguchisya kwiunde,
so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and depraved generation, among whom you shine as light bearers in the world,
16 akuno nli nkamulile uchenene liloŵe lyalikwichisya umi. Mwapanganyaga yeleyo chingole chindu chakulifunila kukwenu pa lyuŵa lya kuuja kwa Kilisito, pakuŵa chichiŵe chimanyisyo chakulosya kuti, kulimbila kwangu, ni masengo gangu, nganigaŵa ga bule.
holding fast the Word of Life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor for nothing.
17 Namose naulajikwaga ni miasi jangu jajitikaga kuŵa mbopesi pamo ni chikulupi chenu ni masengo genu paujo pa Akunnungu, ngusengwa ni kusangalala pamo ni ŵanyamwe wose.
Yes, even if I am a libation being poured on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
18 Ni ŵanyamwe iyoyo nsangalale, sooni nsangalaleje pamo ni une.
For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
19 Nambo asakaga Ambuje Che Yesu, ngulolela kuntuma che Timoseo kukwenu pangakaŵa, kuti ngamuliswe ntima pachachimba ngani syenu.
Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be encouraged when I know how you are doing.
20 Nganingola mundu jwine jwali ni nningwa mpela wangu jutachichenjeuchila utame wenu.
For I have no one else like-minded, who will be genuinely concerned about your welfare
21 Ŵandu ŵampepe akusosasosa kupoka kwao achinsyene pe, ngakuchenjeuka ni Ngani sya Che Yesu Kilisito.
(for all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus).
22 Nkumanyilila mwachinsyene che Timoseo yatite kulosya kuti akuŵajilwa, pakuŵa ŵelewo atumichile pamo ni une nti mwanache ni atatigwe kunlalichila Ngani Jambone.
But you know the proof of him, that as a son with his father he slaved with me for the Gospel.
23 Ngulolela chinjintuma kukwenu chitema patinjiimanyilila itiingopochele apano.
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how things go with me.
24 None ngwakulupilila Ambuje kuti tiiche kukunnola pangakaŵa.
Still, I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 Nambo yamajile kummusya kukwenu nlongo njetu che Epaflodito katumetume njangu pa masengo ga kujichenjela Ngani Jambone. Iyoyo ali jwantenga jwenu jumwantumile achenjeuchile yaikuusoŵa.
However, I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier; also your messenger and minister to my need;
26 Jwelejo akunnajila kwannope kwawona ŵanyamwe wose, ŵasongoneche nnope pakuŵa mwapilikene kuti alwasileje.
since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
27 Kusyene, alwasileje mwa kuŵandichila kuwa. Nambo Akunnungu ŵankolele chanasa, nganankolela chanasa jwelejo pe, nambo ni une jwakwe kuti ninapunde kusongoneka.
Well, he really was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Kwayele, nguntuma kukwenu chitema pe kuti pachimwaone sooni nsangalale ni une kulilasika kwangu kumale.
So I sent him the more eagerly, that upon seeing him you might have joy, and I be less anxious.
29 Nipele mumpochele kwa lukondwa lose nti nlongo njenu, nkulumbikana ni Ambuje. Mwachimbichisye ŵandu ŵaali mpela jwelejo.
Receive him in Sovereign with great joy, and hold such men in honor,
30 Pakuŵa ŵaliji mchakogoya cha kuwa kwa liwamba lya masengo ga Kilisito. Nombewo ŵaliji mchakogoya kuti angamuchisye une apala pamwalepele mwachinsyene kungamuchisya.
because for the work of the Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to complete what was lacking in your service toward me.
