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?
If there is therefore any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,
2 Nipele ngummenda nlugumbasye lukondwa lwangu kwa nganisyo simo ni kwa unonyelo umo ni kwa ntima umo ni nningwa umo.
fulfill ye my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
3 Kasintenda chindu chachili chose kwa kukangana atamuno kwa kulikanganichila nambo nlitulusye jwine kwa jwine, jwalijose ammalanjile njakwe jwambone kumpunda nsyene.
[doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;
4 Mundu jwalijose akasosa kutenda indu yaikunsangalalisya nsyene nambo asose kutenda indu yaikwasangalalisya ŵandu ŵane.
not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
5 Nkolanje ntima uwowo waalinawo Kilisito Yesu.
Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Namose Kilisito ŵaliji chisau Akunnungu, nambo nganaganichisya kuti kuŵa chisau Akunnungu, chili chindu chakukamulana nacho.
who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God,
7 Nambo ŵalesile indu yose yaili yakwe, ŵaliji mpela jwakutumichila, ŵapagwile ni kuŵa mundu mpela ŵandu ŵane.
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
8 Ŵalitulwisye ni kwajitichisya Akunnungu mpaka kwasika, elo, kwasika pa nsalaba.
and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient [even] unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
9 Kwa ligongo lyo Akunnungu ŵannyakwile mwinani nnope, ŵapele liina lyekulu kugapunda meena gose,
Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which 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,
that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven and [things] on earth and [things] under the earth,
11 ni mundu jwalijose asale kwa kang'wa jakwe kuti, Che Yesu Kilisito ali Ambuje kwa ukulu wa Akunnungu Atati.
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 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 beloved, even 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 Pakuŵa Akunnungu akupanganya masengo munkati mwenu ni kumpa ntima wakusaka ni ukombole wa kupanganya aila yakuisaka asyene.
for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
14 Mpanganye yaili yose panganyinyita atamuno pangakangana,
Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
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,
that ye may be blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights 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 forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labour in vain.
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.
Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:
18 Ni ŵanyamwe iyoyo nsangalale, sooni nsangalaleje pamo ni une.
and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
19 Nambo asakaga Ambuje Che Yesu, ngulolela kuntuma che Timoseo kukwenu pangakaŵa, kuti ngamuliswe ntima pachachimba ngani syenu.
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 Nganingola mundu jwine jwali ni nningwa mpela wangu jutachichenjeuchila utame wenu.
For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.
21 Ŵandu ŵampepe akusosasosa kupoka kwao achinsyene pe, ngakuchenjeuka ni Ngani sya Che Yesu Kilisito.
For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22 Nkumanyilila mwachinsyene che Timoseo yatite kulosya kuti akuŵajilwa, pakuŵa ŵelewo atumichile pamo ni une nti mwanache ni atatigwe kunlalichila Ngani Jambone.
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child [serveth] a father, [so] he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.
23 Ngulolela chinjintuma kukwenu chitema patinjiimanyilila itiingopochele apano.
Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:
24 None ngwakulupilila Ambuje kuti tiiche kukunnola pangakaŵa.
but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.
25 Nambo yamajile kummusya kukwenu nlongo njetu che Epaflodito katumetume njangu pa masengo ga kujichenjela Ngani Jambone. Iyoyo ali jwantenga jwenu jumwantumile achenjeuchile yaikuusoŵa.
But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;
26 Jwelejo akunnajila kwannope kwawona ŵanyamwe wose, ŵasongoneche nnope pakuŵa mwapilikene kuti alwasileje.
since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye 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.
for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Kwayele, nguntuma kukwenu chitema pe kuti pachimwaone sooni nsangalale ni une kulilasika kwangu kumale.
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Nipele mumpochele kwa lukondwa lose nti nlongo njenu, nkulumbikana ni Ambuje. Mwachimbichisye ŵandu ŵaali mpela jwelejo.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honour:
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 Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
