< 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,
Hagi e'ina higu tamarimpa tamazeri hanaveti kema Kraisinte me'nesiampi, asuragirmanteno avesi tmante'zampi, Avamupi atruma hu'zampi, avesima ante'zane, asunku'zane me'nesiana,
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].
nagri muse zane, eri hagerafitma magoke antahintahire'ene, magoke avesizante'ene, magoke tmagu tamagesane, magoke avamupine, magoke antahintahire manigahaze.
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.
Inankna zama hanaza zantera ra tamagesa ontahita, tamagragukera ontahiho. Hagi tamavufa anteramita, rumofona antahi nemita husga huzmanteho.
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.
Tamagra zankera kegava osiho, hagi ru vahe zanena kegava hiho.
5 You should think/act just like Christ Jesus [thought/acted].
Tamagra magozahu tamavutma rumokizmia huzmanteho, Krais Jisasimpima me'nea avu'ava rumokizmia huzmanteho.
6 [Although] he has the same nature as God has, he did not insist on keeping all the privileges of being equal with God.
Ana hu'neanagi Anumzane mago kna huno mani'nea ne'mo, Kraisi'a Anumzankna hu'na manisnue huno agesa ontahi'ne.
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,
Agra avufagura antahi amneza seno, agi omne kazokzo eri'za vahe kna huno, mopafi vahe avu'avate efore hu'ne.
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].
Kraisi'a avufa antermino, ke erizafa huteno, fri kante ruhiza huno, keka zafare fri'ne.
9 As a result, God promoted him [to a] rank [that] is above every [other] rank.
Na'ankure ana agafare, Anumzamo azeri antesga nehuno, musezama (gift) Agri'ma ami'neana, maka'zamofo agi'a agtere'nea agi ami'ne.
10 [God did that] in order that every being [SYN] in heaven and on earth and under the earth should worship [MTY] Jesus,
Ana hu'negu Jisasi agirera monafine, mopafine, mopa agu'afine, maka'zamo agrite rena rentegahie.
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.
Ana nehanigeno maka vahe'mo'za Jisas Kraisi'a Rane hu'za zamagiteti huama nehu'za, Anumza Nerfa'a hanave'afi mani'ne hugahaze.
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.
E'izanku navesi neramantoa nafuhetma, tamagranema mani'nogetma ke'ni'a erizafa nehazankna hutma, omanisua knafina ke'ni'a amage anteho, tamagra tamazama hu'nea zanku hutma tamano nevazino, tamahirahi nerena kazigazi hutma amage anteho.
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.
Na'ankure Anumzamo tamagripi eri'za e'nerie, Agra tmagu'a tamazeri otigetma kezafa hutma eri'zama'a e'neriza zane, Agri avesi avariri hanave'a tami'ne.
14 Do everything [God or your leaders ask you to do]. Never complain about what they want you to do, or argue with them.
Maka'zama hanafina, havi tamarimpa osutma hafra nosutma tamarimpa frune maninetma hugahaze.
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].
Anama hanage'za, vahe'mo'za neramagesagetma fatgo hutma, ketmia omnesigetma nemanitma, Anumzamofo mofavre tro hutma nemanitma, havige huormantesagetma, kazaki'zampi kazigazi nehnaza vahe amu'no zamifina nemanitma, ofumo remsa hiaza hutma ama mopafina remsa huzmantegahaze.
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.
Kasefa hu'za mani'zamofo naneke azeri hanavetiho, ana nehnage'na Kraisi ete esia knafi neramage'na hanave'afi muse nehu'na nagare'na nevu'na eri'zama eri'noazamo'a amane zankna osu'ne hu'na hugahie.
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].
Hianagi ana zanke hu'zama waini ofagna hu'zama korani'a tagi netre'za, kresramana neviaza hanaza zamo'a tamentintia tamaza nehina, nagra nagu'areti musena neha'nena, tamagrane muse hugahaze.
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].
Tamagriku'enena, nagra tutu huneramantoe, tamagra anazanke hutma musena nehutma, nagri'enena tragotetma musenkase hugahaze.
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.
Hianagi nagra nagesama nentahuana, Timotina osi'a knafi Ranti Jisasi avesizama me'nenkena huntanenkeno tamagrama mani'nazarega vugahie. Ana nehanigetma tamagra inankna hutma nemanizafi eme nasmisige'na antahi'na musena hugahue.
20 [Keep in mind that] I have no one [else] like him who genuinely cares for you.
Na'ankure magora Timoti kna agu'ane vahera tamagri'ma tamema'nesia zama huga hu'nea nera omani'ne.
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].
Na'ankure zamagra maka'mo'za zamagri'ma zamenesia zante kegava nehu'za, Krais Jisasi zana kegava nosaze.
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.
Hianagi tamagra antahi'naze, Timotima tamage knare eri'za eri'neana, agra nagrane tragoteno Knare Musenke (gospol) hura nehuno, mofavremo nefa aza nehiankna huno, eri'zana naza huno eri'ne.
23 So then he is the one I confidently expect to send [to you] as soon as I know what will happen to me.
E'izanku nagrama nagesama nentahuana, ame' hu'na huntesugeno tamagritega vugahie. Inankna zano nagrite'ma fore'ma hanigu kete'na huntesugeno vugahie.
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.
Nagra, Ramofonte nagu'a nentoe (trast), osi'a knafi tamagrira eme tamagenaku nagra nagesa nentahue.
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].
Hianagi nagrama antahuana tamagritega Epafroditusi'a vugahie. Nagri nenfu magoke eri'za enerita, tragoteta ha' nehu'a ne' (sondia), agra tamagri naneke erino eme nasmisnia ne'kino, upama nehuazana naza nehia nere.
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.
Na'ankure agra maka'motma tamagezanku hugeno antahintahi'amo kna higeno avufa ata eri'ne. Na'ankure tamagra krima eri'nea kema antahi'nagu ana hu'ne.
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.
Na'ankure tamage krima eri'neana frikante ruhiza huteno kanamare'ne. Hianagi Anumzamo asuntagi ante'ne, agri'keku anara osu'ne, nagriku'ene huno ana hu'ne, ana hina nasuzamo agofetu agofetu hu'zanku, azeri oti'ne.
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].
E'ina hu'negu huntanena vanigetma negetma muse nehnagena, nagra tamagrikura nagesa ontahina fru huna manigahue.
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.
Uhanatisigetma Rantimofo agifi tmagu'a muse nehutma avreho, e'inahu vahera antahi nezamita muse huta zamavareho.
Na'ankure maka'motma afete mani'netma naza osazageno tamagri nona huno, Epafroditusi'a avufagura agesa ontahino eme naza nehuno, Kraisi eri'zanku huno fri' kante ruhiza hu'ne.
