Bafilipi 2
1 Buyumi bwenu muli Yesu Klistu bukute kumupa ngofu, kayi lusuno lwakendi lukute kumupa katontoshi. Mukute kwikala ne moyo umo mu Mushimu Uswepa, kayi mukute nkumbo kayi nekuyandana umo ne umo.
If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Neco ndamwambilinga kwambeti munkondweleshe nekusuminishana manjeyaulwa, kayi ne kuyandana kumo, nekwikala ne moyo umo, ne muyeyo umo.
fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing — having the same love — of one soul — minding the one thing,
3 Kamutensanga bintu mwakulisuna nambi mwakulitukumuna sobwe, nsombi kulicepesha kuli umo ne munendi. Cindi conse kamuyeyangeti munenu wamupita.
nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves —
4 Kamutensanga bintu mbyomusuni amwe mwenka nsombi ne bintu mbyobasuni banenu.
each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
5 Neco mwense mube ne moyo ngwalikukute Yesu Klistu.
For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,
6 Nendi walikukute bwikalo bwa Lesa, nsombi nkaleleshapo kulyelanika ne Lesa wangofu.
who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,
7 Nendi walalichepesha nekwikala bwikalo eti musha, kayi walekala nebuyumi eti bantu bonse.
but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,
8 Walalicepesha, kayi walenda mubuyumi bwakunyumfwila mpaka kushikila ku lufu lwakendi lwapalusanda.
and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death — death even of a cross,
9 Pacebo ici Lesa walamusumpula kupita byonse nekumupa lina lyapita maina onse.
wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,
10 Walenseco kwambeti lina lya Yesu lyashumbulwa bintu byonse byakwilu ne byapanshi kayi ne panshi pacishi bikasuntame panshi nekumukambilila,
that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow — of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth —
11 kayi byonse nibikasuminishe pantangalala kwambeti Yesu Klistu ni Mwami, kwambeti Lesa Bata balemekwe.
and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Pacebo ici mwasunika, mwanyumfwilanga cindi conse mpondanga nenjamwe, nomba kamunyumfwilanga nambi ndi patali nenjamwe. Mupitilishe kusebensa mwabuyowa nekututuma kulesheti mwapuluka,
So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,
13 pakwinga Lesa endiye ukute kusebensa mulinjamwe, neco kamuyandanga kwinsa bintu byeshikumukondwelesha.
for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
14 Kamwinsanga bintu byonse mwakutatongauka nambi kutotekeshana,
All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
15 kwambeti mube babula kampenda kayi nekuba bana ba Lesa baswepa abo balekalanga muchishi cabantu bapilinkana mano, kayi beshikulwanisha banabo. Pakati pabantu bamushoboyo mukute kubala eti nyenyeshi pacishi capanshi,
that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,
16 pa kubambila maswi eshikupa buyumi. Neco ame ninkabe necebo cakulinyumfwa pabusuba bwakubwela kwa Yesu. Busuba ubo nicikenshibike kwambeti nkandalasebensa mulimo wabulyo, kayi kwelesha kwakame kuliya kuba kwabulyo.
the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;
17 Lushomo lwenu lulyeti cipo ca mulumbo ulabengangwa kuli Lesa, neco na milopa yakame itika pa cipo ca mulumbo, ame ngankondwa pamo nenjamwe mwense.
but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
18 Cimo cimo nenjamwe mubenga mwakondwa, kayi nekusangalala pamo nenjame.
because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
19 Na Mwami Yesu lasuminishi, ndashoma kwambeti ninkachikonshe kutuma Timoti kulinjamwe lino lino, kwambeti nkayuminishiwe ne mulumbe weshikufuma kulinjamwe.
And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,
20 Endiye enka lamushilingonga mano eti njame.
for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,
21 Aba nabambi balashala balashilinga mano kubintu byabo kutamba pacebo ca Yesu Klistu sobwe.
for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,
22 Mwense muyinshi kendi milimo yaina Timoti njakute kwinsa pakwinga ndalasebensa nendiyeti mwana ne baishi, pakukambauka Mulumbe Waina.
and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;
23 Pacebo ici ndashoma kwambeti nindimutume mwakufwambana, nimbone bintu ncoshi binyendele.
him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me — immediately;
24 Ndashoma Mwami kwambeti, nenjame ninkese lino lino.
and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
25 Lino ndayeyeti ngacinyamfwa na ndamutumu kulinjamwe mukwetu Epaflodito. Nendi lasebense pamo nenjame, mushilikali muname, uyo ngomwalatuma kwisa akunyamfwa ame.
And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus — my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need — to send unto you,
26 Pakwinga layandishishinga kumubona mwense, kayi wongumana pacebo cakwambeti wabanga mulwashi mbuli ncomwalanyumfwa.
seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
27 Nicakubinga wabanga mulwashi pepi nekufwa. Nsombi Lesa wamubela nkumbo, kayi liyawa kwinshila inkumbo nendi enka sobwe, nsombi nenjame kwambeti ampulushe kumapensho anene.
for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.
28 Weco ndayandishishinga kumutuma kulinjamwe kwambeti mukasekelele pamo nendiye mwakamubona, lino kungumana kwakame nikukacepe.
The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;
29 Neco kamumutambulani camakasa abili nekukondwa eti mukwetu muli Klistu. Bantu bamushoboyu mwelela kubalemeka.
receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,
30 Walayanda kufwa cebo camulimo wa Yesu Klistu. Walalibenga mwakutatina kwambeti ngofwa, kwambeti anyamfwe pa bintu ibyo amwe mbyomwalikubula kucikonshya.
because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
