Philippians 2
1 If, therefore, ye have consolation in the Messiah, or if a commingling of hearts in love, or if a fellowship of the Spirit, or if compassions and sympathies;
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 complete ye my joy, by having one apprehension, and one love, and one soul, and one mind.
botondisa motema na ngai na esengo na kozalaka motema moko, bolingo moko, likanisi moko mpe posa moko.
3 And do nothing in strife, or in vain glory; but, with lowliness of mind, let each esteem his neighbor as better than himself.
Bosala eloko moko te na kowelana to na koluka lokumu ezanga tina; kasi na komikitisa nyonso, bomona baninga lokola nde baleki bino.
4 And let not each be solicitous only for himself, but every one also for his neighbor.
Tika ete moko te kati na bino aluka bolamu na ye moko kaka, kasi aluka mpe bolamu ya bandeko mosusu.
5 And think ye so in yourselves, as Jesus the Messiah also thought;
Bozala na posa ya kozalaka na bizaleli ya boye kati na bino ndenge mpe Yesu-Klisto azalaki na yango.
6 who, as he was in the likeness of God, deemed it no trespass to be the coequal of God;
Ye oyo azalaki na lolenge ya Nzambe, amonaki yango te lokola eloko ya kowelela,
7 yet divested himself, and assumed the likeness of a servant, and was in the likeness of men, and was found in fashion as a man;
kasi amikomisaki moto pamba, akomaki lokola mowumbu, amikomisaki lokola moto mpe amonanaki bongo lokola moto;
8 and he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
amikitisaki penza mpe atosaki kino na kufa, ata na kufa ya ekulusu.
9 Wherefore, also, God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is more excellent than all names;
Yango wana mpe Nzambe atombolaki Ye na likolo ya nyonso mpe apesaki Ye Kombo oyo eleki bakombo nyonso,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and 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 Jesus the Messiah is the Lord, to the glory of God his Father.
mpe minoko nyonso etatola ete Yesu-Klisto azali Nkolo mpo na nkembo ya Nzambe Tata.
12 Therefore, my beloved, as ye have at all times obeyed, not only when I was near to you, but now when I am far from you, prosecute the work of your life, more abundantly, with fear and with trembling.
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 God is operating in you, both to purpose, and also to perform that which ye desire.
pamba te ezali Nzambe nde apesaka posa mpe makoki ya kosala makambo nyonso, ndenge ezali mabongisi na Ye ya bolingo.
14 Do all things without murmuring, and without altercation;
Bosalaka likambo moko te na koyimayima mpe na tembe,
15 that ye may be perfect and without blemish, as the sincere children of God, who are resident in a perverse and crooked generation; and that ye may appear among them as luminaries 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 so that ye may be to them in place of life; for my glory in the day of the Messiah, that I may not have run in vain or toiled for naught.
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 And if I should be made a libation upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and exult 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 so also do ye rejoice and exult with me.
Bino mpe ndenge moko, bosepela mpo na yango mpe bosepela elongo na ngai.
19 But I hope in our Lord Jesus, that I shall shortly send Timothy unto you, so that I also may have composure, when informed 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 other one here, who, like my self, will sincerely care for your welfare.
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 they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus the Messiah.
bato nyonso oyo batikali balukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko, kasi bamipesaka te na makambo ya Yesu-Klisto.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with his father, so he labored 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 I hope shortly to send to you, when I shall have seen how things result 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 my Lord, that I shall shortly come myself to you.
Nandimisami solo kati na Nkolo ete nakoya kotala bino kala mingi te.
25 But now, a circumstance urged me to send to you Epaphroditus, the brother who is an assistant and laborer with me, but is your legate and minister 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 he longed to see you all, and was anxious, because he knew ye 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 And indeed he was sick, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him: nor was it on him only, but also on me, that I might not have trouble upon trouble.
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 Promptly, therefore, have I sent him to you; so that when ye see him, ye may again be joyful, and I may have a little breathing.
Yango wana nazali kotinda ye noki penza mpo ete, tango bokomona ye lisusu, bosepela, mpe mawa na ngai esila.
29 Receive him then in the Lord, with all joy; and hold in honor those who are such.
Boyamba ye na esengo makasi kati na Nkolo mpe bomemiaka bato ya lolenge wana,
30 For, because of the Messiah's work, he came near to death, and little regarded his life, that he might fulfill what you lacked in the ministration to me.
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.
