Philippians 2
1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
Konsa, si gen ankourajman nan Kris, si gen konsolasyon nan lanmou, si gen amitye nan Lespri a, si gen afeksyon ak konpasyon,
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
fè lajwa mwen vin konplè. Rete nan menm panse a, kenbe menm lanmou an, ak menm linite nan lespri a, byen deside sou yon sèl bi.
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
Pa fè anyen nan egoyis oubyen ak vye dezi vanite, men avèk refleksyon ki enb gade youn lòt kòm pi enpòtan ke nou menm.
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
Pa sèlman chèche pwòp enterè pèsonèl pa nou, men osi enterè a lòt yo.
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
Se pou nou genyen santiman sila nan nou menm ki te osi nan Kris Jésus a
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
ki, malgre Li te egziste nan fòm Bondye pa t gade egalite li avèk Bondye yon choz pou L ta kenbe di,
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
men te vide tèt li, e te pran fòm a yon sèvitè-atache nèt, e te vin fèt nan imaj a lòm.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
Kòmsi aparans Li te tankou yon moun, Li te bese tèt Li e te vin obeyisan jiska lanmò, menm lanmò sou yon kwa.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
Akòz tout sa, Bondye te egzalte Li byen wo, e te bay Li non ki pi wo pase tout non yo,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
pouke nan non a Jésus a tout jenou va bese, sila ki nan syèl, sou latè, ak anba tè yo
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
epi tout lang konfese ke Jésus Kri se Senyè a pou laglwa Bondye Papa a.
12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Konsa, byeneme mwen yo, menm jan ke nou te toujou obeyi, pa sèlman nan prezans mwen, menm koulye a plis toujou nan absans mwen fè travay sali nou an avèk lakrent ak tranbleman.
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Paske se Bondye k ap travay nan nou, pou fòme volonte ak zèv nou yo, selon bon plezi Li.
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
Fè tout bagay san plenyen ni diskite.
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, amongst whom you are seen as lights in the world,
Konsa nou va san fot e inosan, pitit a Bondye ki san repwòch nan mitan a yon jenerasyon kwochi e pèvèti. Pami yo, nou vin parèt kòm limyè nan mond lan,
16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labour in vain.
k ap kenbe fèm a pawòl lavi a, pou nan jou a Kris la, mwen kapab gen rezon pou bay glwa, akoz ke m pa t kouri anven, ni travay anven.
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Men menm si mwen vin vide nèt tankou yon bwason k ap ofri kòm sakrifis ak sèvis lafwa nou, mwen rejwi e mwen pataje lajwa m avèk nou tout.
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Nou menm tou, mwen egzòte nou, rejwi menm jan an, e pataje lajwa nou avè m.
19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
Men mwen espere nan Senyè a Jésus pou voye Timothée kote nou byen vit, pou m kapab ankouraje tou lè m aprann de kijan nou ye.
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
Paske m pa gen okenn lòt moun ak yon kè parèy a li menm, ki va vrèman konsène pou byen nou.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Paske yo tout chache pwòp enterè pa yo, e pa sila a Kris Jésus a.
22 But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
Men nou konnen prèv valè li, ke li te sèvi avè m pou avansman levanjil la, kòm yon pitit k ap sèvi papa li.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Konsa, mwen espere voye li kote nou imedyatman, depi mwen wè kijan tout bagay ale avèk mwen.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
Men mwen gen konfyans mwen nan Senyè a ke mwen menm osi va vini toutalè.
25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
Men m te panse li te nesesè pou voye Épaphrodite, frè m nan, ouvriye ak sòlda parèy mwen, e osi mesaje pa nou e sèvitè pou sa ke m bezwen.
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
Paske li te trè anvi wè nou tout, e te twouble akoz ke nou te tande ke li te malad.
27 For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
Paske vrèman, li te malad jis nan pwen pou l mouri, men Bondye te fè l gras, e pa li menm sèlman, men osi mwen menm, pou mwen pa ta vin genyen tristès sou tristès.
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Konsa, mwen te voye l avèk plis enpasyans toujou, pou lè nou wè l ankò, nou kapab rejwi, e mwen kapab enkyete mwens pou nou menm.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honour,
Konsa, resevwa li nan Senyè a avèk tout lajwa, e kenbe an wo estim moun tankou li,
30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service towards me.
paske li te prèske mouri pou zèv a Kris la, e te riske vi li pou konplete sa ki te manke nan sèvis nou pou mwen menm.
