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:
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 Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
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 done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better 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 Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men’s.
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 being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal 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 the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó bọ́ ògo rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì mú àwọ̀ ìránṣẹ́, a sì ṣe é ni àwòrán ènìyàn.
8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to 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 For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:
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 in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
pé ni orúkọ Jesu ni kí gbogbo eékún máa wólẹ̀, ní ọ̀run, àti ní orí ilẹ̀ ayé àti ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé,
11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
àti pé kí gbogbo ahọ́n jẹ́wọ́ pé, Jesu Kristi ni Olúwa, fún ògo Ọlọ́run Baba.
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.
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 worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
nítorí pé Ọlọ́run ni ó n ṣiṣẹ́ nínú yín, láti fẹ́ àti láti ṣiṣẹ́ fún ète rere rẹ̀.
14 And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
Ẹ máa ṣe ohun gbogbo láìsí ìkùnsínú àti ìjiyàn.
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.
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 to my glory in the day of Christ, because 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 Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate 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 And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.
Bákan náà ni kí ẹ̀yin máa yọ̀, kí ẹ sì máa bá mi yọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
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.
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 man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you.
Nítorí èmi kò ni ẹlòmíràn tí ó dàbí rẹ̀, tí yóò máa fi tinútinú ṣe àníyàn yín.
21 For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ’s.
Nítorí gbogbo wọn ni ó tọ́jú nǹkan ti ara wọn, kì í ṣe àwọn nǹkan ti Jesu Kristi.
22 Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.
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 unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Nítorí náà, mo ní ìrètí láti rán sí yín ní àìpẹ́ tí mo bá wòye bí yóò ti rí fún mi.
24 And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.
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 labourer, and fellow soldier, but your apostle, and he that hath ministered to my wants.
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 For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you 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 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.
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 Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
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 with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
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 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.
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.
