Abafiripi 2
1 Kale bwe wabaawo okubazaamu endasi kwonna mu Kristo, oba okusanyusa kwonna okw’okwagala, oba okussa ekimu mu mwoyo, oba okwagala okw’engeri yonna, oba okusaasira,
If then there is any consolation in Christ, if there is any comfort of divine love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercies,
2 mutuukirize essanyu lyange, mulowoozenga bumu, nga mulina okwagala, n’omwoyo gumu, nga mulowooza bumu,
fill my joy, that you may think the same thing, having the same divine love, being like-minded, thinking this one thing;
3 nga temukola kintu na kimu olw’okuvuganya wadde okwewaana okutaliimu, wabula mu bwetoowaze nga buli muntu agulumiza munne okusinga bwe mwegulumiza mwekka,
that nothing is to be according to self-seeking nor according to vain glory, but in humility esteeming one another better than yourselves;
4 nga buli muntu tatunuulira bibye yekka, naye ng’afaayo ne ku by’abalala.
looking not each after your own interests, but each after that of others.
5 Mubengamu endowooza eri eyali mu Kristo Yesu,
Think the same thing among yourselves, which is also in Christ Jesus:
6 ye newaakubadde nga yali mu kifaananyi kya Katonda, Teyeerowooza kwenkanankana ne Katonda,
who, being in the form of God, thought it not usurpation to be equal with God,
7 wabula yeewaayo n’afuuka ng’omuddu, era n’azaalibwa ng’omuntu, era n’alabikira mu kifaananyi ky’omuntu,
but he humbled himself, having taken the form of a servant, being in the likeness of men; and having been found in fashion like a man;
8 ne yeetoowaza, n’aba muwulize n’okutuukira ddala ku kufa, ate okufa okw’okukomererwa ku musaalaba.
he humbled himself, being obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
9 Katonda kyeyava amugulumiza, n’amuwa erinnya erisinga amannya gonna;
Therefore God has indeed exalted him, and given him a name above every name;
10 buli vviivi ery’abo abali mu ggulu n’abali ku nsi, era n’abali wansi w’ensi liryoke lifukaamirirenga erinnya lya Yesu,
that at the name of Jesus every knee must bow, of things in heaven and things upon the earth and things beneath the earth,
11 era buli lulimi lwatulenga nga Yesu Kristo ye Mukama, Katonda Kitaffe aweebwe ekitiibwa.
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.
12 Noolwekyo abaagalwa, nga bwe muli abawulize bulijjo nga ndi nammwe, kaakano nga bwe siri nammwe mube bawulize nnyo n’okusinga bwe mwali. Munyiikirenga okukola ebiraga nti mwalokolebwa, nga mutya era nga mukankana.
So, my beloved brethren, as you have always harkened, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
13 Kubanga Katonda yakolera mu mmwe, era yabaagazisa n’abasobozesa okukola by’ayagala, olw’okumusanyusa.
for God is the one working in you both to will and to do, of his own good pleasure.
14 Buli kye mukola mukikolenga awatali kwemulugunya wadde empaka,
Do all things without murmurings and disputatious;
15 mulyoke mube nga temuliiko kyakunenyezebwa nga muli balongoofu, mube abaana ba Katonda abatalina bbala, wakati mu mulembe ogwakyama era omwonoonefu, mwe mubeere ekyokulabirako eky’amaanyi mu nsi,
in order that you may be blameless and pure, the children of God, irreproachable, amid a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
16 nga munyweza ekigambo ky’obulamu gye bali, ndyoke mbeere n’eky’okwenyumiriza ku lunaku lwa Kristo, okulaga nti ssaddukira bwereere so ssaateganira busa.
having the word of life; unto my boasting in the day of Christ, because I did not run in vain, neither did I labor in vain.
17 Naye singa ddala nfukibwa ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa ku ssaddaaka ne ku kuweereza okw’obwakabona okw’okukkiriza kwammwe, nsanyukira wamu nammwe mwenna.
But if indeed I am poured out for a sacrifice and an offering for your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice along with you all;
18 Era nammwe musanyukire wamu nange.
but you also rejoice in this same thing, and rejoice along with me.
19 Mukama waffe Yesu bw’alisiima nsuubira okubatumira mangu Timoseewo, ndyoke ntereere omwoyo nga ntegedde ebibafaako.
But I hope in the Lord Jesus, speedily to send unto you Timothy, in order that I may also be delighted, having learned the things concerning you.
20 Kubanga tewali mulala alina ndowooza nga yange,
For I have no one like-minded, who will nobly remember the things concerning you;
21 kubanga abalala bonna beenoonyeza byabwe ku bwabwe, so si ebya Yesu Kristo.
for all are seeking after their own, and not the things of Jesus Christ.
22 Naye ye Timoseewo mumumanyi nga bw’asaanira, kubanga aweerereza wamu nange, ng’omwana bw’akolera awamu ne kitaawe nga tukola omulimu gw’okubuulira Enjiri.
But you know his integrity, that, as a child a father, he served along with me in the gospel.
23 Kale oyo gwe nsuubira okubatumira amangu ddala nga naakamanya nga bwe nnaabeera.
Indeed then I hope to send him, so soon as I may learn the things concerning myself:
24 Naye nkakasa nti Mukama waffe bw’alisiima, nange nze kennyini sirimala bbanga ddene nga sinnajja eyo.
but I trust in the Lord that I myself will come speedily.
25 Era ndabye nga kisaanye okubatumira owooluganda Epafuladito mukozi munnange, era mulwanyi munnange, naye ate nga mutume wammwe, omuweereza ow’eby’obwakabona ow’eby’etaago byange,
But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-laborer and fellow-soldier, and apostle and the minister of my necessity;
26 ayagala ennyo okubalaba, mwenna, eyeeraliikirira ennyo olw’obutabalaba, kubanga mwawulira nga yalwala.
since he was longing after you all, and grieving, because you heard that he was sick.
27 Ddala yalwala era yali kumpi n’okufa. Kyokka Katonda yamusaasira, naye era teyasaasira ye yekka, wabula nange yansaasira ennaku n’eteenneeyongera.
For he was indeed nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not only him, but me also, in order that I may not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Noolwekyo nayagala nnyo okumutuma gye muli mulyoke musanyuke okumulaba nate, ekyo kikendeeze ku nnaku gye nnina.
Therefore I the more diligently, in order that, seeing him, you may rejoice again, and I may not be without sorrow.
29 Kale mumwanirize nnyo n’essanyu lyonna mu Mukama waffe, era abantu abali ng’oyo mubassangamu ekitiibwa,
Then receive him in the Lord with all joy, and have such in honor:
30 kubanga yabulako katono okufa ng’ali ku mulimu gwa Kristo, ng’akola ebyo bye mwandinkoledde singa mwali nange.
because he was nigh unto death on account of the work of Christ, having jeoparded his life, in order that he might fulfill your deficiency of ministry towards me.
