Abhafilipi 2
1 Labha kuliwo okukomesibhwa mu Kristo. Labha kuliwo okufung'ama okusoka ku lyenda lyaye. Labha bhuliwo obhumwi bhwa Mwoyo. Labha chiliwo echigongo no okusasila.
If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,
2 Mbe mumalishe ubhukondelwa bhwani kwo obhwiganilisha bhumwi muli ne elyenda limwi, muli no obhumwi mu mwoyo, na muli na injila imwi.
fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;
3 Mwasiga kukolela omutubho no okwikuya. Tali mubhe bhololo nimulola abhandi okubha bhekisi muno okukila emwe.
[let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;
4 Bhuli umwi wemwe asiga okwangalila ubhukene bhwaye enyele, tali angalile obhukene bhwa abhandi ona
regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of others also.
5 Mbe mubhe no obhwiganilisha lwa bhunu alinabhwo Kristo.
For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;
6 Ko omwene atateshenye na Nyamuanga. Nawe ateyunguywe ati okubha lwa Nyamuanga ni chinu cho okulumatana nacho.
who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;
7 Nasiga jona ejo, omwenekili nekeya. Nagega olususo lwo omukosi. Naja agegele olususo lwo mwanamunu.
but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;
8 Omwene ekeyishe nabha wokungwa okukingila nafwa, nafwa kumusalabha.
and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.
9 Kulwejo Nyamuanga amukusishe muno. Amuyanile lisina ekulu likilile bhuli esina.
Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,
10 Akolele kutyo koleleki mwi lisina lya Yesu bhusibhusi bhuli munu atele ebhiju. Ebhiju bya bhanu bhali mulwile na bhanu bhali ingulu ne emwalo ya insi.
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],
11 Akolele kutyo koleleki bhuli lulimi lwaike ati Yesu Kristo ni Mukama, kulwa likusyo lyo Lata Nyamuanga.
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.
12 Kulwejo, bhendwa bhani lwakutyo omungwa nsiku jona, kutali ati nikasanga niliamwi nemwe nawe nolwo nikasanga nitaliwo, mubhe na amanaga no omwelulo gwemwe kwo obhubha no kuyalala.
So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
13 Kulwokubha Nyamuanga niwe kakola emilimu munda yemwe koleleki abhasakile okwiganilisha no okukola amagambo ganu agamukondelesha.
for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to [his] good pleasure.
14 Mukole amagambo gona obhutalunduma no okuyakana.
Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,
15 Mukole kutyo koleleki mutalundumilwa, mubhe bhana bha Nyamuanga bhalengelesi mutali na kakojole. Mbe mukole kutyo koleleki mubhe lumuli lwe echalo, mu lwibhulo olunyamuke no olubhibhi.
that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in [the] world,
16 Mugwatilile muno omusango gwo obhuanga koleleki nibhe na insonga yo okukusha kulunaku lwa Kristo. Niwo nimenye ati nitabhilimaga kubhusha omwanya nolwo nitenyashaga bhila nsonga.
holding forth [the] word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.
17 Nawe nolwo labha abhanyisiga lwe echiyanwa ingulu ye echitambo na ohhufulubhendi bhwe elikilisha lyemwe, enikondelelwa, na enikondelelwa amwi nemwe bhona.
But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all.
18 Emwe ona omukondelelwa, no omukondelelwa amwi nanye.
In like manner do ye also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
19 Nawe eniikanya ku Mukama Yesu okumutuma Timoteo kwimwe akatungu kanu, koleleki nitulwemo omwoyo nikamenya emisango jemwe.
But I hope in [the] Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that I also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.
20 Kulwokubha nitanaundi lwo omwene unu ali no obhumenyi bhwo okulola amagambo lwo omwene, unu ali nobhwiganilisha bhwe echimali ingulu yemwe.
For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.
21 Abhandi abho nakatumile abhemenya ku bhwebhwe, emisango ja Yesu Kristo bhatajimenya.
For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22 Nawe omumenya obhukonde bhwaye, kulwokubha ali lwo omwana kutyo kasakila esemwene, nikwo kutyo akolele nanye emilimu ja Iinjili.
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.
23 Kulwejo eniikanya okumutuma bhwangu nikamenya chinu chilija okumbona.
Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:
24 Nawe enikomelesha ku Mukama ati anye omwene omwanya gutali mulela nilija.
but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon come;
25 Nawe eniganilisha ati ni kisi okumusubhya Epafuradito kwemwe. Omwene ni muili wani na ni mukosi wejasu na nimusilikale wejasu, ni musolwa na nimukosi wemwe ingulu yo obhukene bhwani.
but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,
26 Kulwokubha aliga no obhubha na aliga nenda okwiyanja amwi nemwe bhona, okubha mwonguywe aliga nasibhwa.
since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;
27 Kunsonga nichimali aliga nasibhwa alimugafwa. Nawe Nyamuanga namusasila, na echigongo echo chaliga chitali ingulu yaye ela, tali chaliga chili ingulu yani ona, koleleki nitalibhona obhusulumbaye bhunene.
for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Kulwejo namusubhya kwemwe bhwangu, koleleki mkamubhona lindi mukondelelwe amwi nanye nikawamo olujugumo.
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that I might be the less sorrowful.
29 Mumukaribhishe Epafradito mwisina lyo Omukama no obhukondelelwa bhwafu. Muyanega echibhalo abhanu bhejabho unu.
Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;
30 Kulwokubha kulwe emilimu ja Kristo alebheleye okufwa. Ateye obhulame bhwaye muntambala koleleki anchungule, nakola echo mutatulile okukola okunfulubhendela kwokubha mwaliga mulikula nanye.
because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me.
