Philippians 2
1 If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,
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 fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;
síbẹ̀ ẹ mú ayọ̀ mi kún nínú ìṣọ̀kan yín, nípa ìfẹ́ kan náà, wíwà ní ẹ̀mí kan náà àti ète kan náà.
3 [let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;
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 regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of others also.
Kí olúkúlùkù yín má ṣe ro ohun ti ara rẹ̀ nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ti ẹlòmíràn pẹ̀lú.
5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;
Nínú ìbáṣepọ̀ yin pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlòmíràn, ẹ ni irú ìlépa ọkàn náà bí ti Kristi Jesu.
6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;
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 a bondman's form, taking his place 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 having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that 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 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that 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 heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],
pé ni orúkọ Jesu ni kí gbogbo eékún máa wólẹ̀, ní ọ̀run, àti ní orí ilẹ̀ ayé àti ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.
àti pé kí gbogbo ahọ́n jẹ́wọ́ pé, Jesu Kristi ni Olúwa, fún ògo Ọlọ́run Baba.
12 So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather 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 the willing and the working according to [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 murmurings and reasonings,
Ẹ máa ṣe ohun gbogbo láìsí ìkùnsínú àti ìjiyàn.
15 that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear 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 forth [the] word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured 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 But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common 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 like manner do ye also rejoice, 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 Timotheus to you shortly, that I also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.
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 like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.
Nítorí èmi kò ni ẹlòmíràn tí ó dàbí rẹ̀, tí yóò máa fi tinútinú ṣe àníyàn yín.
21 For all seek their own things, 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 ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.
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 Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes 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 shall soon come;
Ṣùgbọ́n mo ní gbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú Olúwa, pé èmi tìkára mi pẹ̀lú yóò wá ní àìpẹ́.
25 but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to 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 had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye 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 he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon 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 seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that I might 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 in honour;
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 sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration 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.
