Bafilipi 2
1 Boye, soki kolendisama ezali kati na Klisto, soki kobondisama ezali kati na bolingo, soki boyokani ezali kati na Molimo, soki bolamu mpe mawa ezali kati na bino,
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 botondisa motema na ngai na esengo na kozalaka motema moko, bolingo moko, likanisi moko mpe posa moko.
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Bosala eloko moko te na kowelana to na koluka lokumu ezanga tina; kasi na komikitisa nyonso, bomona baninga lokola nde baleki bino.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Tika ete moko te kati na bino aluka bolamu na ye moko kaka, kasi aluka mpe bolamu ya bandeko mosusu.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Bozala na posa ya kozalaka na bizaleli ya boye kati na bino ndenge mpe Yesu-Klisto azalaki na yango.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Ye oyo azalaki na lolenge ya Nzambe, amonaki yango te lokola eloko ya kowelela,
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 kasi amikomisaki moto pamba, akomaki lokola mowumbu, amikomisaki lokola moto mpe amonanaki bongo lokola moto;
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 amikitisaki penza mpe atosaki kino na kufa, ata na kufa ya ekulusu.
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Yango wana mpe Nzambe atombolaki Ye na likolo ya nyonso mpe apesaki Ye Kombo oyo eleki bakombo nyonso,
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 mpo ete, na Kombo na Yesu, mabolongo nyonso efukama kati na Likolo, na mokili mpe na se ya mabele,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 mpe minoko nyonso etatola ete Yesu-Klisto azali Nkolo mpo na nkembo ya Nzambe Tata.
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Yango wana, balingami na ngai, ndenge bozalaki tango nyonso na botosi, bokoba kosala mpo na lobiko na bino, na kobanga mpe na kolenga: bokosalaka bongo kaka te tango nazali elongo na bino, kasi mpe sik’oyo, na kolekisa, tango nazali elongo na bino te;
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have 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 pamba te ezali Nzambe nde apesaka posa mpe makoki ya kosala makambo nyonso, ndenge ezali mabongisi na Ye ya bolingo.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Bosalaka likambo moko te na koyimayima mpe na tembe,
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 mpo ete bozanga pamela mpe bozala peto lokola bana na Nzambe oyo bazangi mbeba kati na molongo ya bato babunga nzela mpe ya mobulu. Kati na molongo yango, bozali kongenga lokola minda kati na mokili
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 mpo bosimbi makasi Liloba ya bomoi. Boye, na mokolo ya Klisto, bokosala lokumu na ngai, pamba te nakimaki mbangu mpe nasalaki mosala na pamba te.
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
17 Mpe ata soki makila na ngai ekoki kosopana lokola mbeka ya masanga na likolo ya mbeka oyo ezali mosala ya kondima na bino, nakozala na esengo mpo na yango mpe nakosepela elongo na bino nyonso.
Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 Bino mpe ndenge moko, bosepela mpo na yango mpe bosepela elongo na ngai.
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
19 Kati na Nkolo Yesu, nazali na elikya ya kotindela bino Timote kala mingi te, mpo ete nalendisama na basango oyo akopesa ngai na tina na bino.
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 Pamba te nazali awa na moto mosusu te, longola kaka ye, oyo azali kokabola na ngai makanisi moko mpe azali komitungisa na ndenge ya solo mpo na bolamu na bino;
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 bato nyonso oyo batikali balukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko, kasi bamipesaka te na makambo ya Yesu-Klisto.
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.
22 Nzokande, bino moko boyebi ndenge nini Timote alakisaki molende na ye, pamba te asalaki elongo na ngai mosala ya kopanza Sango Malamu, ndenge mwana asalaka elongo na tata na ye.
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Yango wana nazali na elikya ya kotinda ye epai na bino tango kaka nakoyeba ndenge nini makambo na ngai ekosuka.
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 Nandimisami solo kati na Nkolo ete nakoya kotala bino kala mingi te.
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Kasi nakanisi ete ezali na tina mingi ya kotindela bino ndeko na ngai, Epafrodite, moninga na ngai ya mosala mpe ya etumba, ntoma oyo botindaki epai na ngai mpo na komemela ngai biloko oyo nazalaki na yango na bosenga.
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26 Pamba te azali na posa makasi ya komona bino nyonso mpe ayokaki pasi mingi na motema mpo boyokaki ete azali kobela.
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
27 Azalaki penza kobela kino akomaki pene ya kokufa, kasi Nzambe ayokelaki ye mawa, mpe ye moko kaka te kasi ngai mpe, mpo ete natonda na mawa te.
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Yango wana nazali kotinda ye noki penza mpo ete, tango bokomona ye lisusu, bosepela, mpe mawa na ngai esila.
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Boyamba ye na esengo makasi kati na Nkolo mpe bomemiaka bato ya lolenge wana,
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30 pamba te akomaki pene ya kokufa mpo na mosala ya Klisto: atiaki bomoi na ye kati na likama mpo na kopesa ngai lisungi oyo bino moko bokokaki te kopesa ngai.
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
