Philippians 2
1 If, then, any encouragement comes through union with Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if there is any communion with the Spirit, if there is any tenderness or pity,
Wu, wumi winu mu Kilisitu gakuvapela makakala? Wu, uganu waki ukuvapolesa mitima? Wu, muvi na umonga na Mpungu Msopi na kuhengelana lipyana na kutangatilana mwavene?
2 I entreat you to make my happiness complete — Live together animated by the same spirit and in mutual love, one in heart, animated by one Spirit.
Kangi mumemesa luheku lwangu ndava nivii na liholo limonga na uganu umonga na mtima umonga na chila chenikuchilonda chimonga.
3 Nothing should be done in a factious spirit or from vanity, but each of you should with all humility regard others as of more account than himself,
Mkoto kuhenga lijambu loloha kwa mhutanu amala kumeka, nambu kwa ungolongondi mwavene kila mundu amlola muyaki kuvya wabwina kuliku mwene.
4 and one and all should consider, not only their own interests, but also the interests of others.
Kila mmonga akotoka kulonda mambu gegakumhekesa mwene ndu nambu alonda mambu gakuvaganisa vandu vangi.
5 Let the spirit of Christ Jesus be yours also.
Ndi mumitima yinu mvyai na mtima wuwowo yilayila yeavili nayu Kilisitu Yesu.
6 Though the divine nature was his from the beginning, yet he did not look upon equality with God as above all things to be clung to,
Pamonga mwene avili cheavili Chapanga nambu aloli lepi kuvya cheavili Chapanga ndi lijambu la kukamulilana.
7 but impoverished himself by taking the nature of a servant and becoming like men;
Nambu mukugana kwaki mwene agalekili goha genago, akajikita ngati mtumisi na avelekiwi na kuvya mundu ngati vandu voha,
8 he appeared among us as a man, and still further humbled himself by submitting even to death — to death on a cross!
Ajingologwisi na kuyidakila mbaka kufwa hata kufwa pamsalaba.
9 And that is why God raised him to the very highest place, and gave him the Name which stands above all other names,
Ndava yeniyo Chapanga amkwihili neju mbaka kunani neju, ampeli liina likulu kuliku mahina goha,
10 so that in adoration of the Name of Jesus every knee should bend, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth,
muni muutopesa wa liina la Yesu, viumbi vyoha kunani na pamulima na pahi ya mulima, vifugama palongolo yaki,
11 and that every tongue should acknowledge JESUS CHRIST as LORD — to the glory of God the Father.
na kila mundu ajova hotohoto kuvya Yesu Kilisitu ndi ukulu, kwa ukulu wa Chapanga Dadi.
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always been obedient in the past, so now work out your own Salvation with anxious care, not only when I am with you, but all the more now that I am absent.
Vankozi vangu, panakavili na nyenye mwaniyidakili magono goha, na hinu penivii kutali na nyenye muyendelela kuhenga matendu ago. Gegilandana na usangula winu kwa kuvagaya na kuyogopa mbaka usangula winu pewikamilika.
13 Remember it is God who, in his kindness, is at work within you, enabling you both to will and to work.
Muni Chapanga ndi mweihenga lihengu mugati yinu, na kuvapela mnogo wa kugana kugakita mambu geakugagana mwene.
14 In all that you do, avoid murmuring and dissension,
Muhenga kila chindu changali kung'ung'uta amala mhutanu,
15 so as to prove yourselves blameless and innocent — ‘faultless children of God, in the midst of an evil-disposed and perverse generation,’ in which you are seen shining like stars in a dark world,
muni muvya vana va chakaka va Chapanga changabuda, mwemtama pamulima uwu uhakau na vandu vevakumbudila Chapanga. Mwiganikiwa kung'asima pagati yavi ngati cheying'asima ndondo kunani kulihundi,
16 offering to men the Message of Life; and then I shall be able at the Day of Christ to boast that I did not run my course for nothing, or toil for nothing.
kuni mukamulila malovi gegileta wumi. Muni nivya na chindu cha kumekela mu ligono lila la kuwuya Kilisitu ndava yati yilolekana hotohoto kuvya makakala gangu na lihengu langu vyayagili lepi waka.
17 And yet, even if, when your faith is offered as a sacrifice to God, my life-blood must be poured out in addition, still I shall rejoice and share the joy of you all;
Sadika yinu kwa Bambu na lihengu linu ndi ngati luteta lweluwusiwa kwa Bambu. Na ngasi yangu yiyitiwayi na luteta lwenulo, genago gakahumila yati niheka pamonga na mwavoha nyenye.
18 and do you also rejoice and share my joy.
Mewawa nyenye mvya na luheku, yikuvagana kuheka pamonga na nene muluheku lwinu.
19 I hope, however, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may myself be cheered by receiving news of you.
Hinu Bambu Yesu nihuvalila kumtuma Timoti kwinu, muni anikangamalisa mtima peniyuwana malovi gavi chemwiyendelela
20 For I have no one but him to send — no one of kindred spirit who would take the same genuine interest in your welfare.
Nivii lepi na mundu yungi ngati Timoti mweakuvahololela kwa mtima woha ngati mwene.
21 They are all pursuing their own aims and not those of Christ Jesus.
Vangi vilola mambu gavi vene kuliku kulola mambu ga Yesu Kilisitu.
22 But you know what Timothy has proved himself to be, and how, like a child working for his father, he worked hard with me in spreading the Good News.
Mwavene mumanyili kuvya Timoti cheajilangisi kuvya ihotola, mwene na nene, ndi ngati mwana na dadi tihengili lihengu pamonga nayu kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina.
23 It is Timothy, then, whom I hope to send, as soon as ever I can foresee how it will go with me.
Hinu nihuvalila kumtuma kwinu bahapo penimanya gala gegakunikolela kuni kuchifungu.
24 And I am confident, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, that before long I myself shall follow.
Nene namwene nimhuvalila Bambu kubwela kwinu magono gagaga.
25 Still I think it necessary to send Epaphroditus to you now, for he is my brother, fellow-worker, and fellow-soldier, and he was also your messenger to help me in my need.
Niwene chabwina kumtuma kwinu mlongo wangu Epafloditi, muhenga lihengu muyangu na linjolinjoli muyangu. Mwenuyo ndi mjumbi winu mwemwamtumili anitangatila gala genigana.
26 For he has been longing to see you all, and has been distressed because you heard of his illness.
Ana mnogo uvaha wa kuvalola mwavoha nyenye, na aviniswi mtima neju ndava nyenye muyuwini kuvya avi mtamu.
27 And I can assure you that his illness very nearly proved fatal. But God had pity on him, and not on him only but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
Ena, alwalili hati papipi na kufwa. Nambu Chapanga amhengili lipyana, lepi mwene, nambu mewa na nene muni nikotoka kuvya na mvinisu.
28 I am all the more ready, therefore, to send him, so that the sight of him may revive your spirits and my own sorrow be lightened.
Hinu nigana neju kumtuma kwinu, muni pamukumlola mpata kuheka kavili, na ungolongondi wangu uniwuka.
29 Give him, then, the heartiest of Christian welcomes, and hold such men in great honour.
Ndi mumpokela kwa luheku ndava mwenuyo ndi mlongo muliina la Bambu. Yikuvagana kuvatopesa vandu vevavi ngati mwene,
30 For it was owing to his devotion to the Master’s work that he was at the point of death, having risked his own life in the effort to supply what was wanting in the help that you sent me.
ndava mwene avi hati papipi na kufwa ndava ya lihengu la Kilisitu, na kuyoka wumi waki muni ahotola kunitangatila nene mtangatilu wula mwangahotola kunipela nyenye.
