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 therefore there is any exhortation in Messiah, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
2 botondisa motema na ngai na esengo na kozalaka motema moko, bolingo moko, likanisi moko mpe posa moko.
make my joy full by being like-minded, 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.
doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
4 Tika ete moko te kati na bino aluka bolamu na ye moko kaka, kasi aluka mpe bolamu ya bandeko mosusu.
each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
5 Bozala na posa ya kozalaka na bizaleli ya boye kati na bino ndenge mpe Yesu-Klisto azalaki na yango.
Have this in your mind, which was also in Messiah Yeshua,
6 Ye oyo azalaki na lolenge ya Nzambe, amonaki yango te lokola eloko ya kowelela,
who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 kasi amikomisaki moto pamba, akomaki lokola mowumbu, amikomisaki lokola moto mpe amonanaki bongo lokola moto;
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
8 amikitisaki penza mpe atosaki kino na kufa, ata na kufa ya ekulusu.
And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
9 Yango wana mpe Nzambe atombolaki Ye na likolo ya nyonso mpe apesaki Ye Kombo oyo eleki bakombo nyonso,
Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the 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 Yeshua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those 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 Yeshua the Messiah 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;
So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, 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 who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
14 Bosalaka likambo moko te na koyimayima mpe na tembe,
Do all things without complaining and arguing,
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 you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen 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 up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Messiah that I didn’t run in vain nor labor 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.
Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
18 Bino mpe ndenge moko, bosepela mpo na yango mpe bosepela elongo na ngai.
In the same way, you also should be glad 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 hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
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 one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
21 bato nyonso oyo batikali balukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko, kasi bamipesaka te na makambo ya Yesu-Klisto.
For they all seek their own, not the things of Yeshua the Messiah.
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 you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
23 Yango wana nazali na elikya ya kotinda ye epai na bino tango kaka nakoyeba ndenge nini makambo na ngai ekosuka.
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I 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 myself also will 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.
But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your emissary and servant of my need,
26 Pamba te azali na posa makasi ya komona bino nyonso mpe ayokaki pasi mingi na motema mpo boyokaki ete azali kobela.
since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was 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 nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
28 Yango wana nazali kotinda ye noki penza mpo ete, tango bokomona ye lisusu, bosepela, mpe mawa na ngai esila.
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you 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 joy, and hold such people in honor,
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 Messiah he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
