Bafilipi 2

1 A go na le sengwe se se tshwanang jaaka Bakeresete ba itumelelana? A lo nthata thata go batla go nthusa? A go raya sengwe mo go lona gore re bakaulengwe mo Moreneng, re tlhakanetse mowa o le mongwe fela? A tota dipelo tsa lona di bonolo le bopelotlhomogi?

If then there is any exhortation in Christ, if any encouragement from love, if any partaking of the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

2 Jalo he, dirang gore ke nne le boitumelo jo bogolo ka go ratana le go dumalana ka dipelo tsotlhe, lo dira mmogo ka pelo e le nngwe fela le mogopolo o le mongwe fela le ka maikaelelo a le mangwe fela.

make my joy full, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, with union of soul cherishing one mind;

3 Lo seka lwa nna pelotshetlha; lo seka lwa dira ditiro tse di molemo gore lo tlotlomadiwe. Ikokobetseng, lo tseye ba bangwe jaaka ekete ba botoka mo go lona.

doing nothing in the spirit of faction, or in the spirit of vain-glory, but in humility esteeming others as better than yourselves;

4 Se akanyeng fela kaga dilo tse e leng tsa lona mme nnang le kgatlhego le mo go ba bangwe, le mo go tse ba di dirang.

looking each of you not to his own interest, but each to the interest of others also.

5 Maikutlo a lona a tshwanetse go nna a mofuta o re o supegeditsweng ke Jesu Keresete,

Yea, let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

6 yo o rileng le fa e ne e le Modimo, a se ka a batla ditshwanelo tsa gagwe jaaka Modimo.

who, being in the form of God, did not regard it as a thing to be grasped at to be on an equality with God,

7 Mme a baya fa thoko nonofo ya gagwe e kgolo le kgalalelo, a tsaya setshwano sa motlhanka mme a nna jaaka batho.

but made himself of no consideration, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like men;

8 Mme o ne a ikokobetsa go feta foo, mo e leng gore o ne a bo a swa loso lo lo tshwanang le lwa senokwane mo mokgorong.

and in what appertained to him appearing as a man, he humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Le fa go ntse jalo e ne e le ka ntlha ya gone mo, mo Modimo o neng wa mo tsholeletsa kwa legodimong mme wa mo naya leina le le fetang maina otlhe,

Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name;

10 gore ka leina la ga Jesu mangole otlhe a tlaa khubama mo legodimong le mo lefatshing le ka fa tlase ga lefatshe,

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth,

11 diteme tsotlhe di tlaa bolela fa Jesu Keresete e le Morena, go ya kgalalelong ya Modimo Rara.

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.

12 Ditsala tse di rategang, erile fa ke na le lona koo, le ne lo tlhokomela ka nako tsotlhe go latela ditaolo tsa me. Mme jaanong ka ke seyo lo tshwanetse go tlhokomela thata go dira dilo tse di siameng tse di felelelang mo polokong, lo ikobela Modimo ka tshisimogo e kgolo, lo ikgape mo go tsotlhe tse di ka tlhokang go o itumedisa.

So then, my beloved, as ye 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 Gonne Modimo o a dira mo go lona, o lo thusa gore lo rate go o ikobela, ebile o lo thusa go dira se o se ratang.

for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

14 Mo go sengwe le sengwe se lo se dirang, kgaoganang le go ngongorega le go ganetsanya,

Do all things without murmurings and doubts;

15 gore ope a se ka a lo bona molato. Lo tshwanetse go tshela lo le phepa, matshelo a a phepa jaaka bana ba Modimo mo lefatshing le le lefifi le le tletseng batho ba ba kgopo le logwadi. Phatsimang mo go bone lo le masedi a lefatshe,

that ye may be blameless and pure, children of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye shine as luminaries in the world,

16 lo ba tsholetse Lefoko la Botshelo. Mme fa Keresete a boa, ke tlaa itumela jang gore tiro ya me mo go lona e ne e atlegile thata.

holding forth the word of life, that I may have whereof to boast against the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, or labor in vain.

17 Mme fa madi a me a botshelo, go bua jalo ke raya gore a tshwanetse go tshelwa mo tumelong ya lona e ke e neelang Modimo e le setlhabelo, mo go raya gore fa ke tshwanetse go swa ka ntlha ya lona, le gone ke tlaa nna ke itumela, mme ke tlaa tlhakanela boitumelo jwa me le mongwe le mongwe wa lona.

But if I am even poured out on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

18 Gonne lo tshwanetse go itumela le kaga se, mme lo ipeleng le nna ka ntlha ya go nna le tshwanelo ya go lo swela.

For the same reason, do ye also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

19 Fa Modimo o rata, ke tlaa romela Timotheo go ya go lo bona ka bonako. Mme fa a bowa o ka intumedisa ka go mpolelela gotlhe kaga lona le gore lo dira jang;

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I know your state.

20 ga go ope yo o tshwanang le Timotheo yo o nang le kgatlhego e kgolo mo go lona;

For I have no one like-minded, who will have a true concern for your state;

21 mongwe le mongwe o bonala a tshwenyega kaga dilo tse e leng tsa gagwe e seng tsa ga Jesu Keresete.

for all of them are seeking their own things, not those of Christ Jesus.

22 Mme lo itse Timotheo. O ntse fela jaaka morwaake mo go nthuseng go rera Mafoko a a Molemo.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son serves a father, he served with me for the gospel.

23 Ke solofela gore ke tlaa mo romela kwa go lona ka bonako fa ke sena go bona gore ke tsile go diragalelwa ke eng kwano.

Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, as soon as I see how it will go with me;

24 Ebile ke tshepa Morena gore ka bofefo nna ka sebele ke ka tla go lo bona.

but I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come soon.

25 Mme ka lobakanyana ka gopola gore ke tshwanetse go busetsa Epaforodito gape kwa go lona. Lo mo rometse go nthusa mo go tse ke di tlhokang; nna le ene re ntse re le bakaulengwe tota, re dira re bile re le batlhabani mmogo.

Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and minister to my wants;

26 Jaanong ke mmusetsa gae gape, gonne o ntse a lo tlhwaafaletse lotlhe ebile a hutsahetse thata ka ntlha ya gore lo utlwile fa a lwala.

for he was longing after you all, and was much troubled, because ye heard that he was sick.

27 Mme ka boammaaruri o ne a lwala; tota le gone o batlile go swa. Mme Modimo o ne wa mo tlhomogela pelo mmogo le nna, wa se ka wa letla gore ke nne le bohutsana jo, mo godimo ga dilo tsotlhe.

For indeed he was sick near to death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

28 Jalo ke rata thata go mmusetsa gape kwa go lona, gonne ke itse ka fa lo tlaa itumelang ka gone go mmona, mme seo se tlaa intumedisa se bo se fokotsa mahutsana ame.

I send him therefore the more speedily, that when ye see him ye may again rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

29 Mo amogeleng mo Moreneng ka boitumelo jo bogolo, mme lo supe gore lo itumeletse go tla ga gagwe,

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in honor;

30 gonne o ne a tsenya botshelo jwa gagwe mo diphatseng ka ntlha ya tiro ya ga Keresete mme o batlile go swa fa a santse a leka go ntirela dilo tse lo sa kakeng lwa di dira ka go bo lo ne lo le kgakala le nna.

because he was near to death on account of the work, hazarding his life to supply what was wanting on your part in the ministration to me.
