Philippians 2
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
Boye, soki kolendisama ezali kati na Klisto, soki kobondisama ezali kati na bolingo, soki boyokani ezali kati na Molimo, soki bolamu mpe mawa ezali kati na bino,
2 Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
botondisa motema na ngai na esengo na kozalaka motema moko, bolingo moko, likanisi moko mpe posa moko.
3 Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
Bosala eloko moko te na kowelana to na koluka lokumu ezanga tina; kasi na komikitisa nyonso, bomona baninga lokola nde baleki bino.
4 Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men’s.
Tika ete moko te kati na bino aluka bolamu na ye moko kaka, kasi aluka mpe bolamu ya bandeko mosusu.
5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Bozala na posa ya kozalaka na bizaleli ya boye kati na bino ndenge mpe Yesu-Klisto azalaki na yango.
6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Ye oyo azalaki na lolenge ya Nzambe, amonaki yango te lokola eloko ya kowelela,
7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
kasi amikomisaki moto pamba, akomaki lokola mowumbu, amikomisaki lokola moto mpe amonanaki bongo lokola moto;
8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
amikitisaki penza mpe atosaki kino na kufa, ata na kufa ya ekulusu.
9 For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:
Yango wana mpe Nzambe atombolaki Ye na likolo ya nyonso mpe apesaki Ye Kombo oyo eleki bakombo nyonso,
10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
mpo ete, na Kombo na Yesu, mabolongo nyonso efukama kati na Likolo, na mokili mpe na se ya mabele,
11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
mpe minoko nyonso etatola ete Yesu-Klisto azali Nkolo mpo na nkembo ya Nzambe Tata.
12 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence, ) with fear and trembling work out your salvation.
Yango wana, balingami na ngai, ndenge bozalaki tango nyonso na botosi, bokoba kosala mpo na lobiko na bino, na kobanga mpe na kolenga: bokosalaka bongo kaka te tango nazali elongo na bino, kasi mpe sik’oyo, na kolekisa, tango nazali elongo na bino te;
13 For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
pamba te ezali Nzambe nde apesaka posa mpe makoki ya kosala makambo nyonso, ndenge ezali mabongisi na Ye ya bolingo.
14 And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
Bosalaka likambo moko te na koyimayima mpe na tembe,
15 That you may be blameless, and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom you shine as lights in the world.
mpo ete bozanga pamela mpe bozala peto lokola bana na Nzambe oyo bazangi mbeba kati na molongo ya bato babunga nzela mpe ya mobulu. Kati na molongo yango, bozali kongenga lokola minda kati na mokili
16 Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ, because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.
mpo bosimbi makasi Liloba ya bomoi. Boye, na mokolo ya Klisto, bokosala lokumu na ngai, pamba te nakimaki mbangu mpe nasalaki mosala na pamba te.
17 Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate with you all.
Mpe ata soki makila na ngai ekoki kosopana lokola mbeka ya masanga na likolo ya mbeka oyo ezali mosala ya kondima na bino, nakozala na esengo mpo na yango mpe nakosepela elongo na bino nyonso.
18 And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.
Bino mpe ndenge moko, bosepela mpo na yango mpe bosepela elongo na ngai.
19 And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you.
Kati na Nkolo Yesu, nazali na elikya ya kotindela bino Timote kala mingi te, mpo ete nalendisama na basango oyo akopesa ngai na tina na bino.
20 For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you.
Pamba te nazali awa na moto mosusu te, longola kaka ye, oyo azali kokabola na ngai makanisi moko mpe azali komitungisa na ndenge ya solo mpo na bolamu na bino;
21 For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ’s.
bato nyonso oyo batikali balukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko, kasi bamipesaka te na makambo ya Yesu-Klisto.
22 Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.
Nzokande, bino moko boyebi ndenge nini Timote alakisaki molende na ye, pamba te asalaki elongo na ngai mosala ya kopanza Sango Malamu, ndenge mwana asalaka elongo na tata na ye.
23 Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Yango wana nazali na elikya ya kotinda ye epai na bino tango kaka nakoyeba ndenge nini makambo na ngai ekosuka.
24 And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.
Nandimisami solo kati na Nkolo ete nakoya kotala bino kala mingi te.
25 But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer, and fellow soldier, but your apostle, and he that hath ministered to my wants.
Kasi nakanisi ete ezali na tina mingi ya kotindela bino ndeko na ngai, Epafrodite, moninga na ngai ya mosala mpe ya etumba, ntoma oyo botindaki epai na ngai mpo na komemela ngai biloko oyo nazalaki na yango na bosenga.
26 For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.
Pamba te azali na posa makasi ya komona bino nyonso mpe ayokaki pasi mingi na motema mpo boyokaki ete azali kobela.
27 For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
Azalaki penza kobela kino akomaki pene ya kokufa, kasi Nzambe ayokelaki ye mawa, mpe ye moko kaka te kasi ngai mpe, mpo ete natonda na mawa te.
28 Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
Yango wana nazali kotinda ye noki penza mpo ete, tango bokomona ye lisusu, bosepela, mpe mawa na ngai esila.
29 Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
Boyamba ye na esengo makasi kati na Nkolo mpe bomemiaka bato ya lolenge wana,
30 Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfill that which on your part was wanting towards my service.
pamba te akomaki pene ya kokufa mpo na mosala ya Klisto: atiaki bomoi na ye kati na likama mpo na kopesa ngai lisungi oyo bino moko bokokaki te kopesa ngai.
