< Philippians 2 >

1 If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Ana umi wenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito ukuntaga machili? Ana unonyelo wao ukuntulasya? Ana nkwete umo ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni kukolelana chanasa ni kukosyana jwine ni jwine?
2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing — having the same love — of one soul — minding the one thing,
Nipele ngummenda nlugumbasye lukondwa lwangu kwa nganisyo simo ni kwa unonyelo umo ni kwa ntima umo ni nningwa umo.
3 nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves —
Kasintenda chindu chachili chose kwa kukangana atamuno kwa kulikanganichila nambo nlitulusye jwine kwa jwine, jwalijose ammalanjile njakwe jwambone kumpunda nsyene.
4 each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
Mundu jwalijose akasosa kutenda indu yaikunsangalalisya nsyene nambo asose kutenda indu yaikwasangalalisya ŵandu ŵane.
5 For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,
Nkolanje ntima uwowo waalinawo Kilisito Yesu.
6 who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,
Namose Kilisito ŵaliji chisau Akunnungu, nambo nganaganichisya kuti kuŵa chisau Akunnungu, chili chindu chakukamulana nacho.
7 but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,
Nambo ŵalesile indu yose yaili yakwe, ŵaliji mpela jwakutumichila, ŵapagwile ni kuŵa mundu mpela ŵandu ŵane.
8 and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death — death even of a cross,
Ŵalitulwisye ni kwajitichisya Akunnungu mpaka kwasika, elo, kwasika pa nsalaba.
9 wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,
Kwa ligongo lyo Akunnungu ŵannyakwile mwinani nnope, ŵapele liina lyekulu kugapunda meena gose,
10 that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow — of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth —
kuti kwakuchimbichikwa kwa liina lya Che Yesu, yepanganyikwe yose yaili kwinani, ni yaili pachilambo, ni indu yaili paasi chilambo chitindiŵale paujo pao,
11 and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ni mundu jwalijose asale kwa kang'wa jakwe kuti, Che Yesu Kilisito ali Ambuje kwa ukulu wa Akunnungu Atati.
12 So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,
Nipele, achambusanga ŵangu ŵakunonyelwa, mpela imwatite kwitichisya moŵa gose panaliji kukwenu, chiŵe yambone mwajendelechelaga kunyitichisya pa moŵa gano pandalichile ni ŵanyamwe. Njendelechele kuipanganya yambone yaikuilana ni ukulupusyo wenu kwa kutetemela ni kwa lipamba mpaka ukulupusyo wenu pachiumalile.
13 for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu akupanganya masengo munkati mwenu ni kumpa ntima wakusaka ni ukombole wa kupanganya aila yakuisaka asyene.
14 All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
Mpanganye yaili yose panganyinyita atamuno pangakangana,
15 that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,
kuti mme ŵanache ŵa usyene ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵangali ni sambi, ŵankutama pasikati ja chilambo changalumbana ni chelyungasiche. Mmoneche pasikati jao nti ndondwa, syasikulanguchisya kwiunde,
16 the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;
akuno nli nkamulile uchenene liloŵe lyalikwichisya umi. Mwapanganyaga yeleyo chingole chindu chakulifunila kukwenu pa lyuŵa lya kuuja kwa Kilisito, pakuŵa chichiŵe chimanyisyo chakulosya kuti, kulimbila kwangu, ni masengo gangu, nganigaŵa ga bule.
17 but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
Namose naulajikwaga ni miasi jangu jajitikaga kuŵa mbopesi pamo ni chikulupi chenu ni masengo genu paujo pa Akunnungu, ngusengwa ni kusangalala pamo ni ŵanyamwe wose.
18 because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
Ni ŵanyamwe iyoyo nsangalale, sooni nsangalaleje pamo ni une.
19 And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,
Nambo asakaga Ambuje Che Yesu, ngulolela kuntuma che Timoseo kukwenu pangakaŵa, kuti ngamuliswe ntima pachachimba ngani syenu.
20 for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,
Nganingola mundu jwine jwali ni nningwa mpela wangu jutachichenjeuchila utame wenu.
21 for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,
Ŵandu ŵampepe akusosasosa kupoka kwao achinsyene pe, ngakuchenjeuka ni Ngani sya Che Yesu Kilisito.
22 and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;
Nkumanyilila mwachinsyene che Timoseo yatite kulosya kuti akuŵajilwa, pakuŵa ŵelewo atumichile pamo ni une nti mwanache ni atatigwe kunlalichila Ngani Jambone.
23 him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me — immediately;
Ngulolela chinjintuma kukwenu chitema patinjiimanyilila itiingopochele apano.
24 and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
None ngwakulupilila Ambuje kuti tiiche kukunnola pangakaŵa.
25 And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus — my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need — to send unto you,
Nambo yamajile kummusya kukwenu nlongo njetu che Epaflodito katumetume njangu pa masengo ga kujichenjela Ngani Jambone. Iyoyo ali jwantenga jwenu jumwantumile achenjeuchile yaikuusoŵa.
26 seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
Jwelejo akunnajila kwannope kwawona ŵanyamwe wose, ŵasongoneche nnope pakuŵa mwapilikene kuti alwasileje.
27 for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.
Kusyene, alwasileje mwa kuŵandichila kuwa. Nambo Akunnungu ŵankolele chanasa, nganankolela chanasa jwelejo pe, nambo ni une jwakwe kuti ninapunde kusongoneka.
28 The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;
Kwayele, nguntuma kukwenu chitema pe kuti pachimwaone sooni nsangalale ni une kulilasika kwangu kumale.
29 receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,
Nipele mumpochele kwa lukondwa lose nti nlongo njenu, nkulumbikana ni Ambuje. Mwachimbichisye ŵandu ŵaali mpela jwelejo.
30 because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
Pakuŵa ŵaliji mchakogoya cha kuwa kwa liwamba lya masengo ga Kilisito. Nombewo ŵaliji mchakogoya kuti angamuchisye une apala pamwalepele mwachinsyene kungamuchisya.
