Philippians 2
1 If [there is] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
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 Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be 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 [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
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 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
O mũndũ wanyu ndakarũmbũyagie maũndũ o marĩa mamũkoniĩ, no nĩarũmbũyagie maũndũ ma andũ arĩa angĩ o namo.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Mwĩciirĩrie wanyu wagĩrĩirwo ũtuĩke o ta ũrĩa warĩ na Kristũ Jesũ:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
We-rĩ, o na gũtuĩka aarĩ Ngai, ndonire kũiganana na Ngai taarĩ ũndũ wa gũkumbatĩrio,
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was 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 fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
Nake ahaana ta mũndũ-rĩ, akĩĩnyiihia, na agĩathĩka o nginya akĩũragwo, o kũũragwo kũrĩa kwa mũtharaba!
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a 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 [things] in heaven, and [things] on earth, and [things] 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 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
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 worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.
nĩgũkorwo nĩ Ngai ũrutaga wĩra thĩinĩ wanyu agatũma mwende gwĩkaga maũndũ make kũringana na wendi wake mwega.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Ĩkagai maũndũ mothe mũtekũnuguna na mũtegũkararania,
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine 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 forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored 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 And if I am even offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, 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 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na inyuĩ nĩmwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkena na mũcanjamũke hamwe na niĩ.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
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 man like-minded, who will naturally care for your state.
Nĩgũkorwo ndirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũhaana take, ũrĩa ũngĩrũmbũiya maũndũ manyu na ma.
21 For 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 ye know the proof of him, that as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
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 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall 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 also myself shall come shortly.
Ningĩ ndĩ na mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wa Mwathani atĩ niĩ mwene nĩngũũka o narua.
25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
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 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because ye had heard that he was sick.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩamwĩriragĩria inyuothe, na nĩaratangĩka tondũ nĩmwaiguĩte atĩ aarĩ mũrũaru.
27 For indeed he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon 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 sent him therefore the more speedily, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
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 gladness; and hold such in reputation:
Mwamũkĩrei wega thĩinĩ wa Mwathani mũrĩ na gĩkeno kĩnene, na mũtĩĩage andũ arĩa mahaana take,
30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh to death, not regarding his life, to supply the want of your service towards me.
tondũ aarĩ hakuhĩ gũkua nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa Kristũ, ategũcaaĩra muoyo wake, nĩgeetha andeithĩrĩrie na ũteithio ũrĩa inyuĩ mũtangĩahotire kũũhe.
