Philippians 2

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Konsa, si se nan Kris la nou jwenn fòs kouraj nou tout bon vre, si se renmen li renmen nou an ki ban nou ankourajman tout bon vre, si Sentespri l' rete nan kè nou tout bon vre, si tout bon vre nou yonn renmen lòt, si nou sansib yonn pou lòt,

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

enben, men sa m'ap mande nou: Fè kè m' kontan nèt. Se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt menm jan an, pou nou tout gen yon sèl lide nan tèt nou ak yon sèl santiman nan kè nou.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Pa fè anyen nan lide pou fè tèt nou pase pou pi bon, ni pou fè lwanj tèt nou. Men, soumèt nou devan Bondye. Mete nan tèt nou lòt yo pi bon pase nou.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Piga pesonn chache enterè pa l' ase. Se pou l' chache sa ki bon pou lòt yo tou.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Se pou nou yonn gen pou lòt menm santiman ki te nan Jezi, Kris la.

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Sa Bondye ye a, se sa l' te toujou ye. Men, li pa t' janm konsidere sa tankou yon avantaj pou l' te chache kenbe ak tout fòs.

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Okontrè, se li menm pou tèt pa l' ki chwazi mete sa sou kote. Li te pito tounen yon domestik. Li pran fòm yon moun, li vin tankou tout moun.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Li rabese tèt li. Tankou yon moun, li soumèt devan Bondye. Li obeyi Bondye jouk li rive asepte mouri, wi jouk li asepte mouri sou kwa a.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Se poutèt sa, Bondye leve l' mete chita kote ki pi wo a. Li ba li yon non ki pi gran pase tout lòt non.

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Konsa, tou sa ki nan syèl la, tou sa ki sou tè a ak anba tè a, yo tout va mete jenou yo atè devan Jezi pa respè pou non Bondye te ba li a.

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

Tout moun va rekonèt Jezikri se Seyè a. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye Papa a.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Se konsa, zanmi m' yo, nou tout nou te toujou obeysan lè m' te la avèk nou. Koulye a m' pa la ankò, se lè sa a pou n' pi obeyisan: toujou fè jefò pou nou ka fin sove nèt, avèk krentif pou Bondye, avèk soumisyon devan li.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Paske, se Bondye menm k'ap travay tout tan nan kè nou. Se li ki ban nou anvi fè sa ki pou fè l' plezi ansanm ak fòs pou nou ka fè l' vre.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

Nan tou sa n'ap fè, pa plenyen, pa diskite,

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

pou yo pa jwenn anyen pou yo repwoche nou, pou nou ka fè sa ki byen tankou bon pitit Bondye, antan n'ap viv nan mitan bann moun malonèt ak bann mechan sa yo ki sou latè. Se pou nou klere nan mitan yo tankou zetwal nan syèl la,

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

lè n'ap ba yo mesaj ki bay lavi a. Konsa, n'a fè kè m' kontan lè jou Kris la va rive. Paske, m'a konnen mwen pa t' fatige kò m' pou gremesi, mwen pa t' travay mal.

Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

Menm si mwen dwe ofri lavi m', menm si san m' ta gen pou l' koule pou wouze ofrann n'ap fè pou Bondye paske nou gen konfyans nan li a, m'ap kontan anpil, epi m'ap fè kè nou tout kontan ansanm avè mwen.

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

Konsa, nou menm tou, se pou nou kontan, se pou nou fè kè m' kontan ansanm avè nou tou.

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

Si se volonte Seyè Jezi, mwen fè lide voye Timote kote nou anvan lontan, pou lè m' pran nouvèl nou sa ka ban m' ankourajman.

For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

Timote se sèl moun ki gen menm lide avè m', ki vle wè byen nou. Mwen pa gen lòt.

For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

Tout lòt yo, se zafè pa yo ase y'ap regle, yo p'ap defann kòz Kris la.

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

Nou menm tou nou konnen jan Timote se yon nèg serye. Tankou papa ak pitit nou travay ansanm pou bon nouvèl la.

Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

Mwen fè lide voye l' kote nou lè m'a fin wè ki jan sa ap pase pou mwen.

But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

Men, mwen gen konfyans sa a nan Bondye: m'a ka vin wè nou anvan lontan.

Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

Konsa tou, nou chonje Epafwodit, frè nou an, ki te travay ansanm avè m', ki te la avè m' nan tout batay. Se nou menm ki te voye l' vin ban m' konkou. Enben, mwen wè se nesesè pou m' voye l' tounen ban nou.

For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

Se pa ti anvi li anvi wè nou. Sa te travay tèt li anpil dèske nou te vin konnen jan l' te malad.

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

Li te malad anpil, se vre. Li manke mouri. Men, Bondye te gen pitye pou li. Pa pou li sèlman, men pou mwen menm tou, pou sa pa t' ban mwen plis lapenn ankò.

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

Se poutèt sa mwen pi anvi voye li bò kote nou pou nou ka kontan lè n'a wè l' ankò, epi pou m' ka gen mwens lapenn.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

Konsa, resevwa l' ak kè kontan tankou yon frè nan Seyè a. Se pou nou gen anpil respè pou moun ki tankou Epafwodit,

Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

paske li te prèt pou mouri pou travay Kris la, li riske lavi l' pou l' te ka ban mwen konkou nou menm nou pa t' kapab ban mwen.
