Filibbiyawa 2
1 In kuna da wata ƙarfafawa daga tarayya da Kiristi, in da wata ta’aziyya daga ƙaunarsa, in da wani zumunci da Ruhu, in da juyayi da tausayi,
If therefore there be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any participation of the Spirit,
2 to, sai ku sa farin cikina yă zama cikakke ta wurin kasance da hali ɗaya, kuna ƙauna ɗaya, kuna zama ɗaya cikin ruhu da kuma manufa.
if any bowels of compassion, compleat ye my joy, be like-minded, maintaining the same love, with your souls united, in attending to the one thing needful.
3 Kada ku yi kome da sonkai ko girman kai, sai dai cikin tawali’u, ku ɗauki waɗansu sun fi ku.
Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind each esteeming others better than themselves.
4 Bai kamata kowannenku yă kula da sha’anin kansa kawai ba, sai dai yă kula da sha’anin waɗansu ma.
Look not every one to his own interests only, but every one also to the concerns of others.
5 A cikin dangantakarku da juna, ya kamata halayenku su zama kamar na Kiristi Yesu.
Let the same mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Wanda, ko da yake cikin ainihin surar Allah yake, bai mai da daidaitakansa nan da Allah wani abin riƙewa kam-kam ba,
who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be as God.
7 amma ya mai da kansa ba kome ba, yana ɗaukan ainihin surar bawa, aka yi shi cikin siffar mutum.
Yet He emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, when made in the likeness of men:
8 Aka kuma same shi a kamannin mutum, ya ƙasƙantar da kansa ya kuma zama mai biyayya wadda ta kai shi har mutuwa, mutuwar ma ta gicciye!
and being in the human state, He humbled himself, and was obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross.
9 Saboda haka Allah ya ɗaukaka shi zuwa mafificin wuri ya kuma ba shi sunan da ya fi dukan sunaye,
Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name above every name:
10 don a sunan Yesu kowace gwiwa za tă durƙusa, a sama da a ƙasa da kuma a ƙarƙashin ƙasa,
that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of celestial beings, as well as of those on earth, and of those under the earth;
11 kowane harshe kuma yă furta cewa Yesu Kiristi Ubangiji ne, don ɗaukakar Allah Uba.
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Saboda haka, ya abokaina ƙaunatattu, kamar yadda kullum kuke biyayya ba kawai sa’ad da ina nan ba, amma yanzu da ba na nan tare da ku, ku ci gaba da yin ayyukan cetonku da tsoro da kuma rawan jiki,
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed the gospel, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence; be still working out your own salvation though with fear and trembling:
13 gama Allah ne yake aiki a cikinku, don ku nufa ku kuma aikata bisa ga nufinsa mai kyau.
for it is God that worketh in you both to will, and to work, out of his own good-pleasure.
14 Ku yi kome ba tare da gunaguni ko gardama ba,
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 don ku zama marasa abin zargi, sahihai’ya’yan Allah, waɗanda ba su da laifi, a zamanin mutane karkatattu, kangararru, waɗanda kuke haskakawa a cikinsu kamar fitilu a duniya
that ye may be blameless and inoffensive, the children of God without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as lights in the world,
16 kuna kuwa cin gaba da riƙe maganar rai domin in yi taƙama a ranar Kiristi cewa ban yi gudu ko fama a banza ba.
exhibiting the word of life; to my rejoicing in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.
17 Amma ko da ana tsiyaye jinina kamar hadaya ta sha a kan hadaya da kuma hidimar da take fitowa daga bangaskiyarku, ina murna ina kuma farin ciki da ku duka.
But if I be even poured forth as a libation on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate with you all.
18 Haka ma ya kamata ku yi murna ku kuma yi farin ciki tare da ni.
And for the same cause do ye also rejoice, and congratulate with me.
19 Ina sa rai a cikin Ubangiji Yesu cewa zan aika da Timoti zuwa gare ku ba da daɗewa ba, don ni ma in ji daɗi sa’ad da na ji labarinku.
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be refreshed, by knowing the state of your affairs.
20 Ba ni da wani kamar sa, wanda yake da ainihin sha’awa a zaman lafiyarku.
For I have no one of a like spirit, who will with a kind of natural affection take care of your affairs.
21 Gama kowa yana lura da al’amuran kansa ne kawai, ba na Kiristi Yesu ba.
For all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.
22 Amma, ai, kun san darajar Timoti yadda muka yi bautar bishara tare, kamar ɗa da mahaifinsa.
But ye know the proof I have had of him, that as son with a father he served with me in the gospel.
23 Saboda haka, ina sa rai, in aike shi da zarar na ga yadda abubuwa suke a nan.
I hope therefore to send him as soon as I see the issue of my own affairs.
24 Ni kuma ina da tabbaci a cikin Ubangiji cewa zan zo ba da daɗewa ba.
But I trust in the Lord, that I shall soon come myself too.
25 Amma ina gani ya dace in aika da Afaforiditus, ɗan’uwana, abokin aikina da kuma abokin famana, wanda kuma yake ɗan saƙonku, wanda kuka aika domin yă biya mini bukatuna.
However, I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother, and fellow-laborer, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, who ministred to my wants:
26 Gama yana marmarin ganinku duka ya kuma damu domin kun ji cewa ya yi rashin lafiya.
for he much longed after you all, and was greatly concerned because ye had heard that he was sick.
27 Ba shakka ya yi rashin lafiya, har ya kusa mutuwa. Amma Allah ya nuna masa jinƙai, ba shi kaɗai ba amma har da ni ma, don yă rage mini baƙin ciki kan baƙin ciki.
For indeed he was sick and nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Saboda haka na yi niyya ƙwarai in aike shi wurinku, don sa’ad da kuka sāke ganinsa za ku yi murna, ni kuma in rage damuwa.
I have sent him therefore the more desirously, that when ye see him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Ku marabce shi cikin Ubangiji da farin ciki mai yawa, ku kuma girmama mutane irinsa,
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and have such in high esteem:
30 domin ya kusa yă mutu saboda aikin Kiristi, ya yi kasai da ransa don yă cikasa taimakon da ba ku iya yi mini ba.
because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his own life, so that he might fill up what was wanting in your kind offices towards me.
