Philip 2

1 Yi yema Kilisiti nni teni ke yi pia u fidu. O buama mo puni yi li papaali. Yi pia mi yanduanma leni o Fuoma. Yi pia li padingili leni mi nihigbadima yiyaba po.

If then there is any exhortation in Christ, if any encouragement from love, if any partaking of the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

2 Lanwani, yin mangi n pali hali lan yabidi ki ya pia yantiayenli leni yiyaba.

make my joy full, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, with union of soul cherishing one mind;

3 Yin da tieni liba kuli leni mi paadima yantiali, yaaka ya kpiagidi n tie fanma fanma po, ama li yumiinli n teni yin ya nua yiyaba ke bi cie yi.

doing nothing in the spirit of faction, or in the spirit of vain-glory, but in humility esteeming others as better than yourselves;

4 Oba kuli n da lingi o yuceli po hamu bebe ka, ama yua kuli n ya lingi o lieba hamu moko.

looking each of you not to his own interest, but each to the interest of others also.

5 Yin yaa pia mani Jesu Kilisiti n den pia ya yantiali.

Yea, let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

6 O den tie U Tienu n tie maama. Baa ke o den tie yenma leni U Tienu, waa den sua ke li tie wan baa fie yaala leni u paalu.

who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God,

7 Ama o den landi laa kpiagidi kuli o yama po ki taa o naacemo n tie maama ki lani, ki tua nani bi nisaaliba kuli tie maama yeni,

but made himself of no consideration, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like men;

8 wan den tua nisaalo ki tie nani bi nisaaliba n tie maama, o go den wadi o yuli ki tuo ki tiendi U Tienu yanbuama ki pundi hali mi kuuma. Baa hali li dapoanpoanli ya kuuma.

and in what appertained to him appearing as a man, he humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Li tie lani yaapo ke U Tienu mo jigini o hali boncianla ki puni o ya yeli n cie a yela kuli,

Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name;

10 ke dunli kuli baa gbaani Jesu yeli po tanpoli po leni ki tinga po leni ki tinga tiipo kuli.

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth,

11 Ke nilo mo kuli n tuo ke Jesu Kilisiti n tie o Diedo U Tienu yua n tie Baa yaa kpiagidi yaapo

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

12 Lanwani n buakaaba, nani yin den tuo ki tiendi min yedi yi yaala min den ye leni yi yaa yogunu kuli maama, moala min kaa go ye leni yi yeni, yin go ya tiendi yeni ki pugidi.

So then, my beloved, as ye always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

13 Yin ya moandi leni li fangili leni mi digibima ki ya tuuni yi tindima po. Kelima U Tienu baa teni yin bua ki go fidi ki tieni nani o yanjagihanli n tie maama

for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

14 Yin tiendi yaala kuli, ya tiendi mani la ki na a yenbidi ki da nia mo. Yeni n tie yin yaa hani cain ki pia li papienli, ki tie U Tienu bila ban kan fidi ki tabi yaaba leni liba kuli moala na niba yaaba n joagini ki go

Do all things without murmurings and doubts;

15 bia siiga. Yin ya yieni mani nani i fantankaani yeni handuna yaaba, ki wangi ba li miali maama. Yi ya tiendi yeni li baa tie npo ti jigidi Kilis

that ye may be blameless and pure, children of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as luminaries in the world,

16 iti guacuama daali, kelima li baa doagidi ke mii den tiini mi nuama fanma fanma, kaa tuuni fanma fanma mo.

holding forth the word of life, that I may have whereof to boast against the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, or labor in vain.

17 Baa li ya tie ke n soama baa wuli ki tua nani li ñincabili yeni yi dandanli tuonli padili po, n baa mangidi n pali lipo, n go baa mangidi n pali leni yikuli.

But if I am even poured out on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

18 Yi mo n mangi n pali lipo ki taani leni nni n ya pamanli nni.

For the same reason, do ye also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

19 N sugini o Diedo nni ke li ya pugini waamu, n baa soani Timote yikani, ki baa yi laamaalo lan mangi n pali.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I know your state.

20 Mii pia nitoa yua n taa leni nni ki yagini o yama yi yema po.

For I have no one like-minded, who will have a true concern for your state;

21 Yaaba n sieni kuli kuani bi yama bi hantaaceli nni, baa kuani bi yama Kilisiti ya hantaadi nni

for all of them are seeking their own things, not those of Christ Jesus.

22 Yi kuli bani Timote n doagidi ke o tie nidugikoa maama, ki taa leni nni ki tuuni o laabaalihamo wangikoa tuonli nani ki biga n baa taa ki tuuni leni o baa maama yeni. N ya bandi n maama n

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son serves a father, he served with me for the gospel.

23 baa juodi maama, n sugini ke laa yogunu n baa soani o yikani. N dugi o Diedo po ke mini nba mo

Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, as soon as I see how it will go with me;

24 ko baa cua yikani ke li kan waagi.

but I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come soon.

25 N sua ke li tie tiladi min goa ki soani yikani n kpiilo Epafilodita. N tuonsoanlielo leni moamuadilielo, yin den soani yua n kani ke wan yaa todi nni leni yaala n poadi npo.

Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and minister to my wants;

26 O den bua hali bonhanla ki la yikuli. Wan den bandi ke yi gbadi ke o yia, o yama den yagi lipo boncianla.

for he was longing after you all, and was much troubled, because ye heard that he was sick.

27 Moamoani, o den yiagi boncianla hali ke li den poadi waamu wan kpe moko. Ama U Tienu den gbadi opo mi nihima, ki go gbadi mini moko yaapo mi nihima, ki teni ke min da go baa pabiiditoali ki pugini.

For indeed he was sick near to death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

28 Lanwani kelima o Diedo po, yin ga mani o cangu bonhanla leni li pamancianli, ki go yaa jigindi laa nibuolu.

I send him therefore the more speedily, that when ye see him ye may again rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

29 O den luni o miali ki tuuni Kilisiti tuonli hali ki nagini mi kuuma.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor;

30 O den bua ki todi nni yin bi baa todi nni ya todima ki naa ye nkani.

because he was near to death on account of the work, hazarding his life to supply what was wanting on your part in the ministration to me.
