Philippians 2 (IGB)

1Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na e nwere nkasiobi ọbụla dịrị anyị nʼihi njikọta e jikọtara anyị na Kraịst, ọ bụrụkwa na e nwere inyeaka ọbụla site nʼịhụnanya ya, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ dị nnwekọ ọbụla anyị na Mmụọ na-enwekọ, ọ bụrụ na unu nwere obi nro na ọmịiko,Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

2meenụ ka ọṅụ m zuo oke, site nʼinwe nkwekọta nʼihe ọbụla, site nʼịhụrịta onwe unu nʼanya, sitekwa nʼinwekọ otu mmụọ, na otu uche.then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose.

3Emela ihe ọbụla nʼihi naanị ọdịmma nke gị, maọbụ bie ndụ nʼụzọ ịdọtara onwe gị otuto efu. Kama bụrụ onye wedara onwe ya ala, onye na-ahụ ndị ọzọ dị ka ndị ka ya mma.Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

4Echela echiche banyere naanị ihe metụtara gị, kama, na-eleba anya nʼihe banyere ndị ọzọ.Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5Na mmekọrịta unu na ibe unu, nweenụ ụdị uche ahụ nke dị nʼime Jisọs Kraịst:Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

6Onye ọ bụ ezie na o nwere ụdịdị Chineke site na mmalite ma ọ gụghị ụdịdị ya dị ka Chineke dị ka ihe ọ ga-ejidesi aka ike.Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

7Kama, ọ gụrụ onwe ya dị ka ihe efu, site na ịnara ụdịdị nke onye bụ ohu, onye nke a mụrụ dị ka mmadụ.but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8Ebe ahụrụ ya ka ọ dịka mmadụ nʼoyiyi, o wedakwara onwe ya ala, site nʼirube isi ruo ọnwụ, bụ ọnwụ nke obe.And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

9Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka Chineke ji bulie ya elu nʼebe kachasị elu, nyekwa ya aha kachasị aha niile elu.Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

10Ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe ọbụla a kpọrọ aha Jisọs ka ikpere niile ọbụla gbuo nʼala, ihe niile dị nʼeluigwe, ndị niile bi nʼụwa, na ndị bi nʼokpuru ụwa.that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11Ka ire niile ọbụla kwupụta na Jisọs Kraịst bụ Onyenwe anyị, maka inye Chineke bụ Nna, otuto.and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12Ya mere, ezi ndị enyi m, dị ka unu na-erube isi mgbe niile, ọ bụghị naanị mgbe m nọ, ma karịsịa ugbu a m na-anọghị unu nso, gaanụ nʼihu ịrụpụta nzọpụta unu site nʼịtụ egwu na ịma jijiji.Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

13Nʼihi na ọ bụ Chineke nʼonwe ya na-arụ ọrụ nʼime unu, inyere unu aka ịchọ ime ihe ọ chọrọ ka unu mee, na inyere unu aka ime ihe ahụ ọ chọrọ.For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

14Nʼihe ọbụla unu na-eme, wezuganụ ntamu na ịrụ ụka nʼetiti unu.Do everything without complaining or arguing,

15Bienụ ndụ unu dị ka ụmụ Chineke, ndị a na-apụghị ịta ụta, ndị dị ọcha na ndị a na-apụghị ibo ebubo nʼime ụwa ọjọọ a, nʼetiti ọgbọ gbagọrọ agbagọ, na nʼetiti ndị nwere obi nʼazụ. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-enwupụta nʼetiti ha dị ka kpakpando nʼime ụwa!so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

16Na-echekwanụ nʼihu ha okwu ahụ na-enye ndụ. Ka ọ bụrụ na mgbe Kraịst bịara ọzọ, aga m aṅụrị ọṅụ, nʼihi na ọrụ m rụrụ nʼetiti unu abụghị ihe efu.as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

17Nʼezie, ọ bụrụ na-awụpụ m dị ka aja ihe ọṅụṅụ nʼelu aja nʼife ofufe nke sitere na Chineke nʼihi okwukwe unu. E, a si na e gbuo m nʼihi unu, aga m aṅụrị ọṅụ na-esorokwa unu niile nwe obi ụtọBut even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

18otu aka ahụ, unu onwe unu kwesiri inwe obi ụtọ ma sorokwa m ṅụrịa ọṅụ.So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

19Enwere m olileanya nʼime Onyenwe anyị Jisọs na m ga-ezitere unu Timoti nʼoge na-adịghị anya site ugbu a, ka m site nʼozi ọ ga-anata banyere unu nwee obi ụtọ.Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing.

20Enweghị m onye ọzọ dị ka ya, onye ga-eche ezi echiche maka ọdịmma unu.I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

21Nʼihi na ndị ọzọ na-echegbu onwe ha maka ọdịmma nke ha, ma ọ bụghị maka ọdịmma Jisọs Kraịst.For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

22Ma unu niile maara otu Timoti si dị oke mkpa. Ọ dị nnọọ dị ka nwa m, site nʼinyeaka ọ na-enyere m nʼọrụ izisa oziọma.But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel.

23Enwere m olileanya nʼezie izitere unu ya. M ga-emekwa nke a ma ọ bụrụ na m chọpụta ihe ọnọdụ m nʼebe a ga-abụ.So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me.

24Nʼezie, enwere m olileanya na site nʼinyeaka Onyenwe anyị, mụ onwe m ga-abịakwutekwa unu na mgbe na-adịghị anya.And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

25Otu ọ dị, echere m na ọ dị mkpa ugbu a izighachiri unu Epafroditọs, nwanna m na onye mụ na ya na-arụkọ ọrụ, onye mụ na ya na-ebukọ agha, onyeozi nke unu zitere ka ọ bịa nyere m aka nʼọnọdụ mkpa m.But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.

26Ugbu a, ana m eziteghachiri unu ya, nʼihi na ọ na-agụsị ya agụụ ike ịhụ unu anya. O wutekwara ya nke ukwuu, na e mere ka unu mara na ọ dara ọrịa nʼoge gara aga.For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

27Nʼezie, ọ fọdụrụ nnọọ ntakịrị ka o site nʼọrịa ahụ daa nʼụra ọnwụ. Ma Chineke meere ya ebere. Ọ bụghị naanị ya, kama o mekwaara m ebere, nʼihi na o kweghị ka a tụkwasịrị m ihe mwute nʼelu ihe mwute.He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

28Nʼihi nke a, ọ na-anụ m ọkụ nʼobi izite ya nʼebe unu nọ. Nʼihi na amaara m na ọbịbịa ọ ga-abịakwute unu ga-eme ka unu ṅụrịa ọṅụ. Ọ ga-emekwa ka ọnọdụ nchegbu m dị mfe.Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

29Ya mere, arịọ m unu, werenụ ọṅụ nabata ya nke ọma nʼime Onyenwe anyị, na-asọpụkwaranụ ndị dị ka ya.Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

30Nʼihi na ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka o nwụọ, nʼihi ọrụ nke Kraịst, tinye ndụ ya nʼihe egwu iji mezuo ọrụ unu nʼebe m nọ.because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.
