Philippians 2

1 If there be, therefore, any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any tender affections and compassions,

Naizvozvo kana kune imwe kurudziro kuna Kristu, kana imwe nyaradzo yerudo, kana kumwe kudyidzana kweMweya, kana mune umwe moyo munyoro nemukunzwira tsitsi,

2 Fill ye up my joy—that, the same thing, ye esteem, the same love, possessing, joined in soul, the one thing, esteeming, —

zadzisai mufaro wangu, kuti muve nefungwa imwe, muve nerudo rumwe, nemweya umwe, nendangariro imwe;

3 Nothing by way of faction, nothing by way of vain-glory, —but, in lowliness of mind, accounting, one another, superior to yourselves, —

musingaiti chinhu nenharo kana nekuzvikudza kusina maturo, asi mukuzvininipisa kwemoyo umwe neumwe achikudza vamwe kukupfuurai pakunaka;

4 Not, to your own things, severally looking, but, to the things of others, severally: —

umwe neumwe ngaarege kutarira zvake, asi umwe neumwe zvinhu zvevamwewo.

5 The same thing, esteem, in yourselves, which also, in Christ Jesus, [ye esteem], —

Nokuti fungwa iyi ngaive mamuri, yakange iri muna Kristu Jesuwo;

6 Who, in form of God, subsisting, not, a thing to be seized, accounted the being equal with God,

iye ari muchimiro chaMwari, haana kurangarira kuti kuenzana naMwari kupamba;

7 But, himself, emptied, taking, a servant’s form, coming to be, in men’s likeness;

asi wakazviita asina maturo, akatora chimiro chemuranda, akava mumufananidzo wevanhu;

8 And, in fashion, being found, as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient as far as death, yea, death upon a cross.

akati awanikwa muchimiro chemunhu, akazvininipisa, akava wakateerera kusvikira parufu, irwo rufu rwemuchinjikwa.

9 Wherefore also, God, uplifted him far on high, and favoured him with the name which is above every name, —

Naizvozvo Mwariwo wakamukudza zvikuru, akamupa zita rinopfuura zita rimwe nerimwe;

10 In order that, in the name of Jesus, every knee might bow—of beings in heaven, and on earth, and underground, —

kuti muzita raJesu ibvi rese rifugame, revekudenga nevepanyika, nevepasi penyika,

11 And, every tongue, might openly confess—that Jesus Christ is, Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.

uye rurimi rwega-rwega rwupupure kuti Jesu Kristu ndiye Ishe, kuve rumbidzo yaMwari Baba.

12 So, then, my beloved—even as ye have always obeyed, not [as] in my presence only, but, now, much more, in my absence, with fear and trembling, your own salvation, be working out;

Naizvozvo, vadikanwi vangu, sezvamakateerera nguva dzese, kwete sepakuvapo kwangu chete, asi ikozvino kunyanyisa pakusavapo kwangu, shandai ruponeso rwenyu pachenyu nekutya nekudedera;

13 For it is, God, who energiseth within you, both the desiring and the energising, in behalf of his good pleasure.

nokuti ndiMwari anoshanda mamuri, zvese kuda nekuita nekuda kwechido chake chakanaka.

14 All things, be doing, apart from murmurings and disputings;

Itai zvinhu zvese musinganyunyuti nekupikisana;

15 In order that ye may become faultless and inviolate, children of God, blameless amidst a crooked and perverted generation, amongst whom ye appear as luminaries in the world,

kuti muve vakachena uye vasina chavangapomerwa, vana vaMwari vasina gwapa pakati perudzi rwakakombama nekutsauka, vamunopenya pakati pavo sezviedza munyika,

16 A word of light, holding forth, —as a matter of boasting unto me, for the day of Christ, —that, not in vain, I ran, nor, in vain, I toiled: —

muchitaridza shoko reupenyu, pakuzvikudza kwangu nezuva raKristu, kuti handina kumhanya pasina, kana kushanda pasina.

17 Nay! if I am even to be poured out as a drink-offering, upon the sacrifice and public ministry of your faith, I rejoice, yea rejoice together with you all, —

Asi kana neni ndikadururwa sechibairo chinodururwa pamusoro pechibairo nebasa rerutendo rwenyu, ndinofara uye ndinofara nemwi mese.

18 For the same cause, moreover, do, ye also, rejoice, yea rejoice together with me.

Nekuda kweizvozvi imwiwo mufare uye mufare pamwe neni.

19 I am hoping, however, in the Lord Jesus—Timothy, shortly, to send unto you, in order that, I also, may be of cheerful soul, when I have ascertained the things that concern you.

Asi ndinovimba muna Ishe Jesu kutumira Timotio kwamuri nekukurumidza, kuti iniwo ndifare pandinoziva zviri maererano nemwi.

20 For, no one, have I, of equal soul, who, genuinely, as to the things that concern you, will be anxious;

Nokuti handina munhu ane fungwa yakadaro, achava nehanya zvirokwazvo nezvenyu.

21 For, they all, their own things, do seek, not the things of Christ Jesus;

Nokuti vese vanozvitsvakira zvavo, kwete zvinhu zviri zvaKristu Jesu.

22 But, of the proof of him, be taking note, —that, as child, with father, with me, hath he done service for the glad-message;

Asi munoziva kutendeka kwake, kuti semwana kuna baba wakashanda pamwe neni paevhangeri.

23 Him, indeed, therefore, am I hoping to send—as soon as I can look off from the things that concern myself, —forthwith.

Zvino ndiye wandinotarisira kutumira kwamuri pakarepo, kana ndaona zvakanangana neni;

24 I am assured, however, in the Lord, —that I, myself, shall shortly come.

asi ndinovimba muna Ishe kuti iniwo ndomene ndichakurumidza kuuya.

25 Needful, nevertheless have I accounted it—Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your apostle and public minister to my need, to send unto you;

Asi ndakaona zvakafanira kutuma kwamuri Epafrodito, hama, nemushandi pamwe neni neuto pamwe neni, asi nhume yenyu nemushumiri wekushaiwa kwangu;

26 Since he hath been longing to see, you all, and hath been in great distress, because ye had heard he was sick; —

sezvo akange achikushuvai mese, uye akatambudzika, nokuti makange manzwa kuti wakange achirwara.

27 And, in fact, he was sick, nigh unto death; but, God, had mercy on him, —and, not on him only, but, on me also, lest, sorrow upon sorrow, I should have.

Nokuti zvirokwazvo wakange achirwara ari pedo nekufa; asi Mwari wakamunzwira tsitsi; kwete iye ega, asi neni, kuti ndirege kuva neshungu pamusoro peshungu.

28 The more promptly, therefore, have I sent him, that, seeing him again, ye may rejoice, and, I, the less sorrowful, may be.

Naizvozvo ndakashingaira zvikuru kumutuma, kuti kana momuonazve mufare, neni shungu dzangu dziderere zvikuru.

29 Be giving him welcome, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy; and, such as he, in honour, be holding, —

Naizvozvo mugamuchirei muna Ishe nemufaro wese, uye mubate vakadai neruremekedzo;

30 Because, for the sake of the work of the Lord, unto death, he drew nigh, running hazard with his life, that he might fill up your lack of the public service, towards me.

nokuti nekuda kwebasa raKristu wakaswedera pakufa, asingarangariri upenyu hwake, kuti akwanise kushaiwa kundishumira kwenyu.
