< Philippians 2 >

1 Since Christ encourages us, since he loves us and comforts us, since God’s Spirit fellowships with [us, and] since [Christ] is very merciful [DOU] to us,
Intes kiristoosa baggara bettida issifetetha gaason issay issa minithethiyssa siiqo gidinka woykko ayana issifeteth woykko maaroyne asa micheteth inte garisan diiko inte asi siiqon issi ayanannine issi qofan gididi ta ufayssi polite.
2 make me completely happy [by doing the following things]: Agree with one another, love one another, be closely united with one another, and [live] harmoniously with one another [DOU].
3 Never try to selfishly make yourselves more important than [others] nor boast [about what you are doing]. Instead, be humble, [and in particular], honor one another more than you honor yourselves.
Ase wursii intefe bollara xeellite attin interkka intena doson woykko go7ay baynda galata ekanas issi mishika oothopite.
4 Each one of you should not [only] be concerned about your own affairs. Instead, each of you should also be concerned (that you help/about the needs of) one another.
Intefe issi issi uray hara ura go7izayssa xeellite attin inte go7a xalala xeellofite.
5 You should think/act just like Christ Jesus [thought/acted].
Yesus kiristoosas diza ashiketeth inte achchanka do.
6 [Although] he has the same nature as God has, he did not insist on keeping all the privileges of being equal with God.
Izi bees Xoossukoshin bena Xoossara ginisanas koybeynna.
7 Instead, he [willingly] gave up divine privileges. [Specifically], he became a human being and took the attitude of a servant. When he had become a human being,
Gido attin ayille medha ekkidi asi milatidi berika bena eeya asi kessides.
8 he humbled himself [even more. Specifically], he obeyed [God] even to the extent of [being willing to] die. [He was even willing to] be nailed to a cross, [to die as though he were a criminal].
Asi gidi qonccidika ben asape ziqqa oothides. Hayqaana gakanas hessika masiqale bolla kaqeti hayqana gakanas azazetides.
9 As a result, God promoted him [to a] rank [that] is above every [other] rank.
Hessa gishshi Xoosi iza daro dhoqu hisitides. Sunththfe dhoqu gida sunththu izas immides.
10 [God did that] in order that every being [SYN] in heaven and on earth and under the earth should worship [MTY] Jesus,
Hessika salonkka biitta bollan biittape gaarisanika dizaa medhetethine gulibatay wuri Yesusa sunththas gulibatana malako.
11 and in order that every person [SYN] should declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. [As a result of everyone doing that, they will] honor God, [his] Father.
Asa inxxarisi wurikka Xoossa Aawa bonchos Yesus kiristoosay Goda gididayssa marikatanaskko.
12 My dear friends, as you consider this, since you have always obeyed [God], each of you should very reverentially [DOU] try to do those things [that are proper for people whom God has] saved. [You should do those things] not only when I am with you. [Instead, you should try] even more [to do them] now when I am not with you.
Hessa gishshi ta ishato inte kase wursio wode azazetizayta gidida mala ha7ika ta matan doontta intefe haahon diikoka inte atethay kumeth gidana mala yashatethanine bonchon polite.
13 [You are able to do these things], since God [himself] causes you to desire to do what he wants you to do, and he also enables you to do what he wants you to do.
Xoossi intes azazetth immishe ba qofa wursieth gakanas inte gidon oothes.
14 Do everything [God or your leaders ask you to do]. Never complain about what they want you to do, or argue with them.
15 Behave like that in order that you may be completely faultless [DOU] and may be perfect children of God [DOU] while you live in the midst of people who are wicked and do very wicked things [DOU]. As you live among them, show them clearly [MET] [the way they ought to behave], just like the sun, moon, and stars [show the road clearly to us] [SIM].
Hessika inte iittane geella asa gidon geeshatane wothoy baynda Xoossa nayta gididi alame bolla Aawa arishe mala dere wursios po7anasiko.
16 Tell them how [to] have eternal life. I [ask that you do that] in order that on the day Christ [returns] I may be able to rejoice [MTY], that I did not labor [DOU] so hard among you in vain.
Inte ekkida deyo qaala lo7ethi oykkiko kiristoosay haa simmi yiza wode ta mela daaburonttayssa gishshi ta ceeqetanayssi taas dees.
17 Perhaps [the Roman authorities] will execute me, [and my blood will pour out] [MET] [as the] wine pours out when the priest offers it to God [MET]. [For your part], you believe [in Christ firmly]. As a result, you have given yourselves completely to God in order that you might do what he wills [MET], [just like a priest] offers a sacrifice [completely to God] [MET]. [Because I dedicate myself wholly to God] together with you, even if [they are about to execute me], I will greatly rejoice [DOU], [because I am giving myself wholly to God], and because you all [are giving yourselves wholly to God].
Qasseka intes Goda diza ammanoy inte Xoossas shiishada dumma yarsho mala ta shempoy inte yarshora issife yarsho mala gukizako intenara taka ufa7istana.
18 Similarly, you too should rejoice [because you are giving yourselves wholly to God], and you should rejoice because I [am giving myself wholly to God].
Hessaththoka intes ufa7etidi tanaka ufayssanas besses.
19 My relationship with the Lord Jesus [leads me] to confidently expect that [he will enable me] to send Timothy to you soon, in order that [his telling you the news about me will encourage you. But] I also expect that [his returning to me and] telling me the news about you will encourage me.
Goday maadiko Xinitosa inteko yedada inte lo7etetha gishshi lo7o wore siyanas koyays.
20 [Keep in mind that] I have no one [else] like him who genuinely cares for you.
Inte lo7etetha gishshi qopiza asi hara malay oonikka baawa.
21 All the others [whom I have considered that I might send to you] are concerned [only] about their own matters. They are not concerned about what Jesus Christ [considers important].
Haray wurikka Yesus kiristoosayssa gidontta ba go7as woxxizade xalalako
22 But you know that Timothy has proved that he [serves the Lord and others faithfully. You know] that he has served [the Lord closely together] with me in [proclaiming to people] the message about Christ as though he were [SIM] my son and I were his [own] father.
Gido attin inte erizayssa mala Xinitosay izi ay mala asakone ba gishshi marikasides. Nay ba Aawara oothiza mala tanara mishiracho qaala yootides.
23 So then he is the one I confidently expect to send [to you] as soon as I know what will happen to me.
Hessa gishshi hayssafe sinththan ta waananakone shaaka eridape guye iza ta inteko kiittana qopayss.
24 And I am confident that I will soon be released {[the authorities will soon release me]} [so that] the Lord will enable me also to come/go [to you] soon.
Taka inteko mata wode baanaysa Godan ammanetayss.
25 I have concluded that it is [really] necessary that I send Epaphroditus [back] to you. He is a fellow believer and my fellow worker, and he [endures difficulties together with me] [MET], [just like] soldiers [endure difficulties together]. You sent him [to me] in order that he might help me when I was needy [EUP].
Hessaththoka inte tana koshshiza mishshan wursion maadana malane lo7ethi oykana mala yedida Afirodixo ta inteko zaara yedana mala koshshizayssi taas eretides.
26 [But I have concluded that I must send him back to you] because he has been longing to see you all. Furthermore, he has been [very] distressed because [he knows that] you heard that he had become sick.
Gaasoyka izi intena kumethata beyanas laamotida gishshine qasseka inte iza sakoza siyidayssas qopida gishshiko.
27 Indeed, he was so sick that he almost died. However, [he did not die]. Instead, God pitied him and he also pitied me, [and as a result he healed him. God pitied me] because he did not want me to be even more sorrowful than I already was.
Tumapeka harigidi hayqishe attides. Gido attin Xoossi iza maarides. Ta kase muuzotizayssa bolla hara muuzoy gujetontta mala tanaka maadides.
28 So, I am sending him [back to you] as quickly as possible, in order that you may rejoice [when you see him again] and in order that I may be less sorrowful [than I was].
Hessa gishshi inte iza beyidi uf7ettana malane taka hirigafe shemipana mala amotayss.
29 Welcome him very joyfully [just like believers] in [our] Lord [Jesus should welcome one another. While he was] working for Christ, he was helping me in place of you [because you were far away]. He knew that he might die as a result of helping me, and [truly] he nearly did die. So honor [him, and honor all] those who are like him.
Inte iza keeh ufayssan mokki ekkite. Iza mala asataka bonchite.
Inte tana matan diidi aathi maadanas danda7ontta gishshi izi ba shempos michetontta tana oothi maadishe kiristoosa oothon hayqishe attides.
