< Philippians 2 >
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na e nwere nkasiobi ọbụla dịrị anyị nʼihi njikọta e jikọtara anyị na Kraịst, ọ bụrụkwa na e nwere inyeaka ọbụla site nʼịhụnanya ya, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ dị nnwekọ ọbụla anyị na Mmụọ na-enwekọ, ọ bụrụ na unu nwere obi nro na ọmịiko,
2 Fulfill you my joy, that you be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
meenụ ka ọṅụ m zuo oke, site nʼinwe nkwekọta nʼihe ọbụla, site nʼịhụrịta onwe unu nʼanya, sitekwa nʼinwekọ otu mmụọ, na otu uche.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Emela ihe ọbụla nʼihi naanị ọdịmma nke gị, maọbụ bie ndụ nʼụzọ ịdọtara onwe gị otuto efu. Kama bụrụ onye wedara onwe ya ala, onye na-ahụ ndị ọzọ dị ka ndị ka ya mma.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Echela echiche banyere naanị ihe metụtara gị, kama, na-eleba anya nʼihe banyere ndị ọzọ.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Na mmekọrịta unu na ibe unu, nweenụ ụdị uche ahụ nke dị nʼime Jisọs Kraịst:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Onye ọ bụ ezie na o nwere ụdịdị Chineke site na mmalite ma ọ gụghị ụdịdị ya dị ka Chineke dị ka ihe ọ ga-ejidesi aka ike.
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took on him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Kama, ọ gụrụ onwe ya dị ka ihe efu, site na ịnara ụdịdị nke onye bụ ohu, onye nke a mụrụ dị ka mmadụ.
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
Ebe ahụrụ ya ka ọ dịka mmadụ nʼoyiyi, o wedakwara onwe ya ala, site nʼirube isi ruo ọnwụ, bụ ọnwụ nke obe.
9 Why God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka Chineke ji bulie ya elu nʼebe kachasị elu, nyekwa ya aha kachasị aha niile elu.
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe ọbụla a kpọrọ aha Jisọs ka ikpere niile ọbụla gbuo nʼala, ihe niile dị nʼeluigwe, ndị niile bi nʼụwa, na ndị bi nʼokpuru ụwa.
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Ka ire niile ọbụla kwupụta na Jisọs Kraịst bụ Onyenwe anyị, maka inye Chineke bụ Nna, otuto.
12 Why, my beloved, as you 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.
Ya mere, ezi ndị enyi m, dị ka unu na-erube isi mgbe niile, ọ bụghị naanị mgbe m nọ, ma karịsịa ugbu a m na-anọghị unu nso, gaanụ nʼihu ịrụpụta nzọpụta unu site nʼịtụ egwu na ịma jijiji.
13 For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ Chineke nʼonwe ya na-arụ ọrụ nʼime unu, inyere unu aka ịchọ ime ihe ọ chọrọ ka unu mee, na inyere unu aka ime ihe ahụ ọ chọrọ.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Nʼihe ọbụla unu na-eme, wezuganụ ntamu na ịrụ ụka nʼetiti unu.
15 That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the middle of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world;
Bienụ ndụ unu dị ka ụmụ Chineke, ndị a na-apụghị ịta ụta, ndị dị ọcha na ndị a na-apụghị ibo ebubo nʼime ụwa ọjọọ a, nʼetiti ọgbọ gbagọrọ agbagọ, na nʼetiti ndị nwere obi nʼazụ. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-enwupụta nʼetiti ha dị ka kpakpando nʼime ụwa!
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
Na-echekwanụ nʼihu ha okwu ahụ na-enye ndụ. Ka ọ bụrụ na mgbe Kraịst bịara ọzọ, aga m aṅụrị ọṅụ, nʼihi na ọrụ m rụrụ nʼetiti unu abụghị ihe efu.
17 Yes, and if I be offered on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
Nʼezie, ọ bụrụ na-awụpụ m dị ka aja ihe ọṅụṅụ nʼelu aja nʼife ofufe nke sitere na Chineke nʼihi okwukwe unu. E, a si na e gbuo m nʼihi unu, aga m aṅụrị ọṅụ na-esorokwa unu niile nwe obi ụtọ
18 For the same cause also do you joy, and rejoice with me.
otu aka ahụ, unu onwe unu kwesiri inwe obi ụtọ ma sorokwa m ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
Enwere m olileanya nʼime Onyenwe anyị Jisọs na m ga-ezitere unu Timoti nʼoge na-adịghị anya site ugbu a, ka m site nʼozi ọ ga-anata banyere unu nwee obi ụtọ.
20 For I have no man like minded, who will naturally care for your state.
Enweghị m onye ọzọ dị ka ya, onye ga-eche ezi echiche maka ọdịmma unu.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
Nʼihi na ndị ọzọ na-echegbu onwe ha maka ọdịmma nke ha, ma ọ bụghị maka ọdịmma Jisọs Kraịst.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.
Ma unu niile maara otu Timoti si dị oke mkpa. Ọ dị nnọọ dị ka nwa m, site nʼinyeaka ọ na-enyere m nʼọrụ izisa oziọma.
23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Enwere m olileanya nʼezie izitere unu ya. M ga-emekwa nke a ma ọ bụrụ na m chọpụta ihe ọnọdụ m nʼebe a ga-abụ.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
Nʼezie, enwere m olileanya na site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, mụ onwe m ga-abịakwutekwa unu na mgbe na-adịghị anya.
25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
Otu ọ dị, echere m na ọ dị mkpa ugbu a izighachiri unu Epafroditọs, nwanna m na onye mụ na ya na-arụkọ ọrụ, onye mụ na ya na-ebukọ agha, onyeozi nke unu zitere ka ọ bịa nyere m aka nʼọnọdụ mkpa m.
26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that you had heard that he had been sick.
Ugbu a, ana m eziteghachiri unu ya, nʼihi na ọ na-agụsị ya agụụ ike ịhụ unu anya. O wutekwara ya nke ukwuu, na e mere ka unu mara na ọ dara ọrịa nʼoge gara aga.
27 For indeed he was sick near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow on sorrow.
Nʼezie, ọ fọdụrụ nnọọ ntakịrị ka o site nʼọrịa ahụ daa nʼụra ọnwụ. Ma Chineke meere ya ebere. Ọ bụghị naanị ya, kama o mekwaara m ebere, nʼihi na o kweghị ka a tụkwasịrị m ihe mwute nʼelu ihe mwute.
28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ na-anụ m ọkụ nʼobi izite ya nʼebe unu nọ. Nʼihi na amaara m na ọbịbịa ọ ga-abịakwute unu ga-eme ka unu ṅụrịa ọṅụ. Ọ ga-emekwa ka ọnọdụ nchegbu m dị mfe.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
Ya mere, arịọ m unu, werenụ ọṅụ nabata ya nke ọma nʼime Onyenwe anyị, na-asọpụkwaranụ ndị dị ka ya.
30 Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
Nʼihi na ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka o nwụọ, nʼihi ọrụ nke Kraịst, tinye ndụ ya nʼihe egwu iji mezuo ọrụ unu nʼebe m nọ.
