Philippians 2
1 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
Mũngĩkorwo mũrĩ na ũndũ o wothe wa kũũmanĩrĩria uumanĩte na ũrĩa mũnyiitithanĩtio na Kristũ, kana ũndũ o wothe wa kũhoorerania uumanĩte na wendani wake, o na kana wa kũgĩa na ngwatanĩro o yothe yumanĩte na Roho, o na kana ũhoro o wothe wa gũcaayanĩra na wa kũiguanĩra tha uumanĩte na Kristũ-rĩ,
2 make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
gĩtũmagei gĩkeno gĩakwa kĩiganĩre kũna nĩ ũndũ wa gũtũũra mũrĩ a mwĩciirĩrie o ro ũmwe, na mwendaine na wendani o ũmwe, na mũrĩ kĩndũ kĩmwe thĩinĩ wa roho o na meciiria.
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
Mũtikaneke ũndũ mũkĩenda kwĩguna inyuĩ ene, o na kana nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩgaatha, no ikaragai mwĩnyiihĩtie, o mũndũ agatuaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ nĩ mwega makĩria yake mwene.
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
O mũndũ wanyu ndakarũmbũyagie maũndũ o marĩa mamũkoniĩ, no nĩarũmbũyagie maũndũ ma andũ arĩa angĩ o namo.
5 Have this in your attitude, which was also in Christ Jesus,
Mwĩciirĩrie wanyu wagĩrĩirwo ũtuĩke o ta ũrĩa warĩ na Kristũ Jesũ:
6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
We-rĩ, o na gũtuĩka aarĩ Ngai, ndonire kũiganana na Ngai taarĩ ũndũ wa gũkumbatĩrio,
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
nowe nĩgũtiganĩria aatiganĩirie ũnene wake wothe, agĩtuĩka ta ngombo, agĩciarwo ta andũ a gũkũ thĩ.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
Nake ahaana ta mũndũ-rĩ, akĩĩnyiihia, na agĩathĩka o nginya akĩũragwo, o kũũragwo kũrĩa kwa mũtharaba!
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Ngai nĩamũtũũgĩririe o nginya igũrũ mũno, na akĩmũhe rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa rĩkĩrĩte marĩa mangĩ mothe,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
nĩguo atĩ thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ maru mothe magaturio, kũu igũrũ, na gũkũ thĩ, o na rungu rwa thĩ,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
na ningĩ atĩ nĩmĩ ciothe ciumbũrage atĩ Jesũ Kristũ nĩ Mwathani, nĩguo Ngai Ithe witũ agoocagwo.
12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with awe and reverence.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arata akwa endwa-rĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũtũire mwathĩkaga, na to rĩrĩa ndaarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, no makĩria rĩu itarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ-rĩ, thiĩi na mbere kũrutĩra ũhonokio wanyu wĩra, mũgĩĩtigagĩra na mũkĩinainaga,
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
nĩgũkorwo nĩ Ngai ũrutaga wĩra thĩinĩ wanyu agatũma mwende gwĩkaga maũndũ make kũringana na wendi wake mwega.
14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,
Ĩkagai maũndũ mothe mũtekũnuguna na mũtegũkararania,
15 that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
nĩgeetha mwage ũcuuke na mũtuĩke atheru, mũtuĩke ciana cia Ngai itarĩ na kaũũgũ mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa rũciaro rũrũ ruogomu na rwaganu, na rĩrĩa mũrĩ hamwe nao inyuĩ mũkengage ta njata thĩ yothe,
16 holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
o mũrũmĩtie kiugo kĩa muoyo, nĩguo ngaagĩa na ũndũ wa kwĩrahĩra mũthenya ũrĩa wa Kristũ atĩ ndiahanyũkire tũhũ kana ngĩruta wĩra ngĩnoga tũhũ.
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.
No rĩrĩ, o na ingĩtuĩka ndĩraitwo thakame igũrũ rĩa igongona ta ndĩ iruta rĩa kũnyuuo, nĩ ũndũ wa ũtungata ũrĩa mũtungatagĩra Ngai uumanĩte na wĩtĩkio wanyu-rĩ, nĩ ngenaga na ngacanjamũka hamwe na inyuĩ inyuothe.
18 In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na inyuĩ nĩmwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkena na mũcanjamũke hamwe na niĩ.
19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
Nĩngwĩhoka ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Mwathani Jesũ atĩ nĩngũmũtũmĩra Timotheo o narua, nĩgeetha o na niĩ ngaakena hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaaheo ũhoro wanyu.
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
Nĩgũkorwo ndirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũhaana take, ũrĩa ũngĩrũmbũiya maũndũ manyu na ma.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ arĩa angĩ othe marũmbũyagia maũndũ mao ene, no ti maũndũ ma Jesũ Kristũ.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
No inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ Timotheo nĩeyonanĩtie atĩ nĩ mũndũ mwega, tondũ o ta ũrĩa mwana atungataga hamwe na ithe-rĩ, noguo akoretwo agĩtungata hamwe na niĩ wĩra-inĩ wa kũhunjia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩndĩrehoka kũmũtũma kũrĩ inyuĩ o ndaarĩkia kũmenya ũrĩa maũndũ makwa megũikara.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
Ningĩ ndĩ na mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wa Mwathani atĩ niĩ mwene nĩngũũka o narua.
25 But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;
No rĩrĩ, nĩnguona kwagĩrĩire ndĩmũtũmĩre mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Epafarodito, ũrĩa tũrutaga wĩra na tũkarũĩrĩra ũhoro wa Ngai nake, na nĩwe mũtũmwo wanyu ũrĩa mwandũmĩire nĩguo arũmbũyagie mabata makwa.
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩamwĩriragĩria inyuothe, na nĩaratangĩka tondũ nĩmwaiguĩte atĩ aarĩ mũrũaru.
27 For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
Ti-itherũ aarĩ mũrũaru, o na aarĩ hakuhĩ gũkua. No Ngai nĩamũiguĩrĩire tha, na to we wiki waiguĩrĩirwo tha, no o na niĩ nĩanjiguĩrĩire tha nĩguo ndikae kũingĩhĩrwo nĩ kĩeha mũno.
28 I have sent him all the more eagerly, therefore, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and that I may be less anxious.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kĩu nĩkĩo kĩratũma ndĩmũtũme na kwĩyendera kũnene, nĩgeetha mwamuona rĩngĩ mũkene, na niĩ nyihanyiihĩrwo nĩ gũtangĩka.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,
Mwamũkĩrei wega thĩinĩ wa Mwathani mũrĩ na gĩkeno kĩnene, na mũtĩĩage andũ arĩa mahaana take,
30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
tondũ aarĩ hakuhĩ gũkua nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa Kristũ, ategũcaaĩra muoyo wake, nĩgeetha andeithĩrĩrie na ũteithio ũrĩa inyuĩ mũtangĩahotire kũũhe.
