Filip 2
1 Konsa, si se nan Kris la nou jwenn fòs kouraj nou tout bon vre, si se renmen li renmen nou an ki ban nou ankourajman tout bon vre, si Sentespri l' rete nan kè nou tout bon vre, si tout bon vre nou yonn renmen lòt, si nou sansib yonn pou lòt,
If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any yearnings and mercies,
2 enben, men sa m'ap mande nou: Fè kè m' kontan nèt. Se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt menm jan an, pou nou tout gen yon sèl lide nan tèt nou ak yon sèl santiman nan kè nou.
fulfill my joy, that you may mind the same thing—having the same love—of one soul—minding the one thing,
3 Pa fè anyen nan lide pou fè tèt nou pase pou pi bon, ni pou fè lwanj tèt nou. Men, soumèt nou devan Bondye. Mete nan tèt nou lòt yo pi bon pase nou.
nothing in rivalry or vainglory, but in humility of mind counting one another more excellent than yourselves—
4 Piga pesonn chache enterè pa l' ase. Se pou l' chache sa ki bon pou lòt yo tou.
do not each look to your own, but each also to the things of others.
5 Se pou nou yonn gen pou lòt menm santiman ki te nan Jezi, Kris la.
For let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,
6 Sa Bondye ye a, se sa l' te toujou ye. Men, li pa t' janm konsidere sa tankou yon avantaj pou l' te chache kenbe ak tout fòs.
who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not something to be seized to be equal to God,
7 Okontrè, se li menm pou tèt pa l' ki chwazi mete sa sou kote. Li te pito tounen yon domestik. Li pran fòm yon moun, li vin tankou tout moun.
but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a servant, having been made in the likeness of men,
8 Li rabese tèt li. Tankou yon moun, li soumèt devan Bondye. Li obeyi Bondye jouk li rive asepte mouri, wi jouk li asepte mouri sou kwa a.
and having been found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, having become obedient to death—even death of a cross,
9 Se poutèt sa, Bondye leve l' mete chita kote ki pi wo a. Li ba li yon non ki pi gran pase tout lòt non.
for this reason, also, God highly exalted Him, and gave to Him a Name that [is] above every name,
10 Konsa, tou sa ki nan syèl la, tou sa ki sou tè a ak anba tè a, yo tout va mete jenou yo atè devan Jezi pa respè pou non Bondye te ba li a.
that in the Name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth—
11 Tout moun va rekonèt Jezikri se Seyè a. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye Papa a.
and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Se konsa, zanmi m' yo, nou tout nou te toujou obeysan lè m' te la avèk nou. Koulye a m' pa la ankò, se lè sa a pou n' pi obeyisan: toujou fè jefò pou nou ka fin sove nèt, avèk krentif pou Bondye, avèk soumisyon devan li.
So that, my beloved, as you always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
13 Paske, se Bondye menm k'ap travay tout tan nan kè nou. Se li ki ban nou anvi fè sa ki pou fè l' plezi ansanm ak fòs pou nou ka fè l' vre.
for it is God who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
14 Nan tou sa n'ap fè, pa plenyen, pa diskite,
Do all things without murmurings and deliberations,
15 pou yo pa jwenn anyen pou yo repwoche nou, pou nou ka fè sa ki byen tankou bon pitit Bondye, antan n'ap viv nan mitan bann moun malonèt ak bann mechan sa yo ki sou latè. Se pou nou klere nan mitan yo tankou zetwal nan syèl la,
that you may become blameless and pure children of God, unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as luminaries in the world,
16 lè n'ap ba yo mesaj ki bay lavi a. Konsa, n'a fè kè m' kontan lè jou Kris la va rive. Paske, m'a konnen mwen pa t' fatige kò m' pou gremesi, mwen pa t' travay mal.
holding forth the word of life, for rejoicing to me in regard to [the] Day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, nor did I labor in vain;
17 Menm si mwen dwe ofri lavi m', menm si san m' ta gen pou l' koule pou wouze ofrann n'ap fè pou Bondye paske nou gen konfyans nan li a, m'ap kontan anpil, epi m'ap fè kè nou tout kontan ansanm avè mwen.
but if I also am poured forth on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and am glad with you all,
18 Konsa, nou menm tou, se pou nou kontan, se pou nou fè kè m' kontan ansanm avè nou tou.
because of this you also rejoice and are glad with me.
19 Si se volonte Seyè Jezi, mwen fè lide voye Timote kote nou anvan lontan, pou lè m' pran nouvèl nou sa ka ban m' ankourajman.
And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timotheus to you quickly, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,
20 Timote se sèl moun ki gen menm lide avè m', ki vle wè byen nou. Mwen pa gen lòt.
for I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for the things concerning you,
21 Tout lòt yo, se zafè pa yo ase y'ap regle, yo p'ap defann kòz Kris la.
for the whole seek their own things, not the things of Christ Jesus,
22 Nou menm tou nou konnen jan Timote se yon nèg serye. Tankou papa ak pitit nou travay ansanm pou bon nouvèl la.
and you know his proof, that as a child [serves] a father, he served with me in regard to the good news;
23 Mwen fè lide voye l' kote nou lè m'a fin wè ki jan sa ap pase pou mwen.
I indeed hope to send him, when I may see through the things concerning me—immediately;
24 Men, mwen gen konfyans sa a nan Bondye: m'a ka vin wè nou anvan lontan.
and I trust in the LORD that I will also come quickly myself.
25 Konsa tou, nou chonje Epafwodit, frè nou an, ki te travay ansanm avè m', ki te la avè m' nan tout batay. Se nou menm ki te voye l' vin ban m' konkou. Enben, mwen wè se nesesè pou m' voye l' tounen ban nou.
And I thought [it] necessary to send to you Epaphroditus—my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need,
26 Se pa ti anvi li anvi wè nou. Sa te travay tèt li anpil dèske nou te vin konnen jan l' te malad.
seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because you heard that he ailed,
27 Li te malad anpil, se vre. Li manke mouri. Men, Bondye te gen pitye pou li. Pa pou li sèlman, men pou mwen menm tou, pou sa pa t' ban mwen plis lapenn ankò.
for he also ailed near to death, but God dealt kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
28 Se poutèt sa mwen pi anvi voye li bò kote nou pou nou ka kontan lè n'a wè l' ankò, epi pou m' ka gen mwens lapenn.
The more eagerly, therefore, I sent him, that having seen him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful;
29 Konsa, resevwa l' ak kè kontan tankou yon frè nan Seyè a. Se pou nou gen anpil respè pou moun ki tankou Epafwodit,
receive him, therefore, in the LORD, with all joy, and hold such in honor,
30 paske li te prèt pou mouri pou travay Kris la, li riske lavi l' pou l' te ka ban mwen konkou nou menm nou pa t' kapab ban mwen.
because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded life that he might fill up your deficiency of service to me.
