VaFiripi 2
1 Kana muine kurudziro inobva pakubatana naKristu, kana paine kunyaradza kunobva parudo rwake, kana pano kuwadzana noMweya, kana paino unyoro netsitsi,
If there be therfore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any compassion and mercie,
2 ipapo itai kuti mufaro wangu uzare nokuva nomurangariro wakadaro, muine rudo rumwe chete, muri vamwe mumweya nechinangwa.
Fulfill my ioye, that ye be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accorde, and of one iudgement,
3 Musaita chinhu nomwoyo wokuchiva kana kuzvikudza, asi mukuzvininipisa muchionawo vamwe kuti vari nani kupfuura imi.
That nothing be done through contention or vaine glory, but that in meekenesse of minde euery man esteeme other better then himselfe.
4 Mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaarege kungotsvaka zvake chete, asi zvavamwewo.
Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of other men.
5 Kufunga kwenyu ngakuve sokwaKristu Jesu:
Let the same minde be in you that was euen in Christ Iesus,
6 Uyo, kunyange aiva Mwari chaiye, haana kufunga kuti kuenzana naMwari chinhu chingabatisiswa,
Who being in ye forme of God, thought it no robberie to be equall with God:
7 asi akazviita chinhu pasina, akatora chimiro chomuranda chaiye, akaitwa somunhu.
But he made himself of no reputation, and tooke on him ye forme of a seruant, and was made like vnto men, and was founde in shape as a man.
8 Uye akati awanikwa ane chimiro chomunhu, akazvininipisa uye akateerera kusvikira pakufa, kunyange rufu pamuchinjikwa.
He humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen the death of the Crosse.
9 Naizvozvo Mwari akamukudza panzvimbo yapamusoro-soro, uye akamupa zita riri pamusoro pamazita ose,
Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name aboue euery name,
10 kuti muzita raJesu mabvi ose apfugame, mudenga napanyika uye napasi penyika,
That at the Name of Iesus shoulde euery knee bowe, both of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth,
11 uye ndimi dzose dzipupure kuti Jesu Kristu ndiye Ishe, kuti Mwari Baba vakudzwe.
And that euery tongue shoulde confesse that Iesus Christ is the Lord, vnto the glory of God the Father.
12 Naizvozvo, shamwari dzangu dzinodiwa, sezvamunogara muchiteerera, kwete ndiripo bedzi, asi zvino zvikuru ndisipo, rambai muchishandira ruponeso rwenyu nokutya nokudedera,
Wherefore my beloued, as ye haue alwayes obeyed me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in mine absence, so make an end of your owne saluation with feare and trembling.
13 nokuti ndiMwari anoshanda mukati menyu kuti mude uye muite maererano nokuda kwake kwakanaka.
For it is God which worketh in you, both the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure.
14 Itai zvose musinganyunyuti kana kukakavara,
Do all things without murmuring and reasonings,
15 kuitira kuti mugova vasina chavangapomerwa uye vakachena, vana vaMwari vasina mhosva murudzi urwu rwakakombama uye rwakatsauka, rwamunovhenekera senyeredzi munyika
That ye may be blamelesse, and pure, and the sonnes of God without rebuke in the middes of a naughtie and crooked nation, among whom yee shine as lights in the world,
16 sezvamunobatirira pashoko roupenyu, kuitira kuti ndigozvirumbidza pazuva raKristu uye kuti handina kumhanya kana kushanda pasina.
Holding forth the worde of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither haue laboured in vaine.
17 Asi kunyange dai ndadururwa hangu sechipiriso chinonwiwa pamusoro pechibayiro noushumiri hunobva pakutenda kwenyu, ndinofara uye ndinofarisisa nemi mose.
Yea, and though I bee offered vp vpon the sacrifice, and seruice of your faith, I am glad, and reioyce with you all.
18 Saka nemiwo munofanira kufara nokufarisisa neni.
For the same cause also be ye glad, and reioyce with me.
19 Ndine tariro muna Ishe Jesu kuti nditume Timoti kwamuri nokukurumidza, kuti neniwo ndifare pandichanzwa mashoko pamusoro penyu.
And I trust in the Lord Iesus, to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I knowe your state.
20 Handina mumwe akaita saye, ane hanya kwazvo nokugara kwenyu kwakanaka.
For I haue no man like minded, who will faithfully care for your matters.
21 Nokuti munhu wose anozvitsvakira zvake, zvisati zviri zvaJesu Kristu.
For all seeke their owne, and not that which is Iesus Christes.
22 Asi munoziva kuti Timoti akaratidza kutendeka kwake, nokuti somwanakomana ana baba vake akashanda neni mubasa revhangeri.
But yee knowe the proofe of him, that as a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me in the Gospel.
23 Naizvozvo, ndine tariro yokuti ndimutume nokukurumidza kana ndaona kuti zvinhu zvinondifambira sei.
Him therefore I hope to send assoone as I knowe howe it will goe with me,
24 Ndinovimba muna She kuti ini pachangu ndichauya nokukurumidza.
And trust in the Lord, that I also my selfe shall come shortly.
25 Asi ndinofunga kuti zvakafanira kuti nditumirezve kwamuri Epafrodhitasi, hama yangu, mubati pamwe chete neni uye murwi pamwe chete neni, iye nhume yenyuwo, wamakatuma kuti azondibatsira pane zvandaishayiwa.
But I supposed it necessarie to sende my brother Epaphroditus vnto you, my companion in labour, and fellowe souldier, euen your messenger, and he that ministred vnto me such things as I wanted.
26 Nokuti anokushuvai mose uye ari kutambudzika nokuti makanzwa kuti akanga achirwara.
For he longed after all you, and was full of heauinesse, because yee had heard that hee had beene sicke.
27 Zvechokwadi akanga achirwara, uye akapotsa afa. Asi Mwari akava nengoni naye, uye kwete kwaari oga asi kwandiriwo, kuti ndirege kuva nokusuwa pamusoro pokusuwa.
And no doubt he was sicke, very neere vnto death: but God had mercie on him, and not on him onely, but on me also, least I should haue sorowe vpon sorowe.
28 Naizvozvo ndinoshinga kwazvo kuti ndimutume, kuti pamunomuonazve mugofara uye ini ndive nokufunganya kushoma.
I sent him therefore the more diligently, that when yee shoulde see him againe, yee might reioyce, and I might be the lesse sorowfull.
29 Mugamuchirei muna She nomufaro mukuru, uye mukudze munhu akaita saiyeye,
Receiue him therefore in the Lord with all gladnesse, and make much of such:
30 nokuti akapotsa afa nokuda kwebasa raKristu, akaisa upenyu hwake panjodzi kuti akwanise kubatsira kwamakanga musingagoni kundiitira imi.
Because that for the woorke of Christ he was neere vnto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that seruice which was lacking on your part towarde me.
