2:1
Εἴ τις οὖν παράκλησις ἐν Χριστῷ, εἴ τι παραμύθιον ἀγάπης, εἴ τις κοινωνία πνεύματος, εἴ τις σπλάγχνα καὶ οἰκτιρμοί,
Si qua ergo consolatio in Christo, si quod solatium caritatis, si qua societas spiritus, si qua viscera miserationis :
ወእምከመ ሀለወ ኀቤክሙ ይእዜ ፍሥሓ በክርስቶስ አው ዘይናዝዝ ልበ በተፋቅሮ አው ዘይሳተፍ በመንፈስ አው በምሒር ወተሣህሎ።
If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
2:2
πληρώσατέ μου τὴν χαρὰν ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ φρονῆτε, τὴν αὐτὴν ἀγάπην ἔχοντες, σύνψυχοι, τὸ ἓν φρονοῦντες,
implete gaudium meum ut idem sapiatis, eamdem caritatem habentes, unanimes, idipsum sentientes,
ፈጽሙ ሊተ ፍሥሓየ ከመ ተኀልዩ ኪያሁ ክመ ወተሀልዉ በተፋቅሮ በአሐዱ ነፍስ ወበአሐዱ ምክር።
make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
2:3
μηδὲν κατ’ ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν, ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν,
nihil per contentionem, neque per inanem gloriam : sed in humilitate superiores sibi invicem arbitrantes,
ወኢትግበሩ በተቃሕዎ ወኢበአፍቅሮ ክብረ ከንቱ ኢትዘኀሩ ወኢትትዐበዩ አላ በትሑት ልብ አክብሩ ቢጸክሙ እምርእስክሙ ፈድፋደ።
doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
2:4
μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστοι σκοποῦντες, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστοι.
non quae sua sunt singuli considerantes, sed ea quae aliorum.
ወኢትጽሐቁ ለባሕቲትክሙ ዘእንበለ ለቢጽክሙ።
each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
2:5
τοῦτο φρονεῖτε ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
Hoc enim sentite in vobis, quod et in Christo Jesu :
ኵልክሙ ፍጹማን ዘንተ ኀልዩ ለነሂ ዘከመ ገብረ ለነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ።
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6
ὃς ἐν μορφῇ θεοῦ ὑπάρχων οὐχ ἁρπαγμὸν ἡγήσατο τὸ εἶναι ἴσα θεῷ,
qui cum in forma Dei esset, non rapinam arbitratus est esse se aequalem Deo :
ዘውእቱ አርኣያሁ ለእግዚአብሔር አኮ ሀዪዶ ዘኮነ እግዚአብሔር።
who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
2:7
ἀλλὰ ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν μορφὴν δούλου λαβών, ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος· καὶ σχήματι εὑρεθεὶς ὡς ἄνθρωπος
sed semetipsum exinanivit, formam servi accipiens, in similitudinem hominum factus, et habitu inventus ut homo.
አላ አትሒቶ ርእሶ ነሥአ አርኣያ ገብር ወተመሰለ ከመ ብእሲ።
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
2:8
ἐταπείνωσεν ἑαυτὸν γενόμενος ὑπήκοος μέχρι θανάτου, θανάτου δὲ σταυροῦ.
Humiliavit semetipsum factus obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis.
ወኮነ ከመ ሰብእ ወሰምዐ ወተአዘዘ እስከ በጽሐ ለሞት ወሞቱሂ ዘበመስቀል።
And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
2:9
διὸ καὶ ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ὑπερύψωσεν καὶ ἐχαρίσατο αὐτῷ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὄνομα,
Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum, et donavit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen :
ወበእንተዝ አዕበዮ እግዚአብሔር ጥቀ ወጸገዎ ስመ ዘየዐቢ እምኵሉ ስም።
Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
2:10
ἵνα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ πᾶν γόνυ κάμψῃ ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων καὶ καταχθονίων,
ut in nomine Jesu omne genu flectatur caelestium, terrestrium et infernorum,
ከመ ለስሙ ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ይስግድ ኵሉ ብርክ ዘበሰማያት ወዘበምድር ወበቀላያት ወእለ ታሕተ ምድር።
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
2:11
καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσηται ὅτι κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ πατρός.
et omnis lingua confiteatur, quia Dominus Jesus Christus in gloria est Dei Patris.
ወኵሉ ልሳን ይግነይ ከመ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ውእቱ እግዚእ በስብሐተ እግዚአብሔር አብ።
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:12
Ὥστε, ἀγαπητοί μου, καθὼς πάντοτε ὑπηκούσατε, μὴ ὡς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ μου μόνον ἀλλὰ νῦν πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἐν τῇ ἀπουσίᾳ μου, μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν κατεργάζεσθε·
Itaque carissimi mei (sicut semper obedistis), non ut in praesentia mei tantum, sed multo magis nunc in absentia mea, cum metu et tremore vestram salutem operamini.
ወይእዜኒ አኀውየ በከመ ዘልፈ ትሰምዑኒ ወአኮ በሀልዎትየ ዳእሙ ወዓዲ ፈድፋደ እንዘ ኢሀሎኩ በፍርሀት ወበረዓድ ተገበሩ ለሕይወትክሙ።
So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
2:13
θεὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐνεργῶν ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ τὸ θέλειν καὶ τὸ ἐνεργεῖν ὑπὲρ τῆς εὐδοκίας.
Deus est enim, qui operatur in vobis et velle, et perficere pro bona voluntate.
ወእግዚአብሔር ውእቱ ዘይረድአክሙ ለፈቃዱ ወይፈጽም ለክሙ ሣህሎ።
For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
2:14
πάντα ποιεῖτε χωρὶς γογγυσμῶν καὶ διαλογισμῶν,
Omnia autem facite sine murmurationibus et haesitationibus :
ወግበሩ ኵሎ ዘትገብሩ በተሰናዕዎ ወበሥምረት ዘእንበለ ነጐርጓር ወዘእንበለ ኑፋቄ።
Do all things without complaining and arguing,
2:15
ἵνα γένησθε ἄμεμπτοι καὶ ἀκέραιοι, τέκνα θεοῦ ἄμωμα μέσον γενεᾶς σκολιᾶς καὶ διεστραμμένης, ἐν οἷς φαίνεσθε ὡς φωστῆρες ἐν κόσμῳ,
ut sitis sine querela, et simplices filii Dei, sine reprehensione in medio nationis pravae et perversae : inter quos lucetis sicut luminaria in mundo,
ከመ ትኩኑ ንጹሓነ ወየዋሃነ ከመ ውሉደ እግዚአብሔር እንዘ አልብክሙ ነውር በማእከለ ውሉድ ዓላውያን ወግፍቱዓን ወታስተርእዩ ከመ ብርሃናት ውስተ ዓለም።
that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
2:16
λόγον ζωῆς ἐπέχοντες, εἰς καύχημα ἐμοὶ εἰς ἡμέραν Χριστοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰς κενὸν ἔδραμον οὐδὲ εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασα.
verbum vitae continentes ad gloriam meam in die Christi, quia non in vacuum cucurri, neque in vacuum laboravi.
እንዘ ትሜህሩ ቃለ ሕይወት በዘእትሜካሕ አነ በዕለተ ክርስቶስ እስመ አኮ ለከንቱ ዘሮጽኩ ወአኮ ለከንቱ ዘጻመውኩ።
holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.
2:17
ἀλλὰ εἰ καὶ σπένδομαι ἐπὶ τῇ θυσίᾳ καὶ λειτουργίᾳ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν, χαίρω καὶ συνχαίρω πᾶσιν ὑμῖν·
Sed et si immolor supra sacrificium, et obsequium fidei vestrae, gaudeo, et congratulor omnibus vobis.
ወአወጽሕ በእንተ መሥዋዕተ አምልኮ ለሃይማኖትክሙ።
Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
2:18
τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ καὶ ὑμεῖς χαίρετε καὶ συνχαίρετέ μοι.
Idipsum autem et vos gaudete, et congratulamini mihi.
ወናሁ እትፌሣሕ ወእትሐሠይ ለክሙ ወአንትሙኒ ተፈሥሑ ወተሐሠዩ ሊተ።
In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
2:19
Ἐλπίζω δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ Τιμόθεον ταχέως πέμψαι ὑμῖν, ἵνα κἀγὼ εὐψυχῶ γνοὺς τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν.
Spero autem in Domino Jesu, Timotheum me cito mittere ad vos : ut et ego bono animo sim, cognitis quae circa vos sunt.
ወእትአመን በእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ከመ እፌንዎ ለክሙ ለጢሞቴዎስ ከመ እትፌሣሕ አነሂ ሰሚዕየ ዜናክሙ።
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
2:20
οὐδένα γὰρ ἔχω ἰσόψυχον ὅστις γνησίως τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν μεριμνήσει,
Neminem enim habeo tam unanimem, qui sincera affectione pro vobis sollicitus sit.
እስመ አልብየ ዘከመ ግዕዝየ ዘእንበሌሁ ዘይጸውር ትካዘክሙ በአእምሮ።
For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
2:21
οἱ πάντες γὰρ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ζητοῦσιν, οὐ τὰ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
Omnes enim quae sua sunt quaerunt, non quae sunt Jesu Christi.
እስመ ኵሉ ትካዘ ርእሱ ይኄሊ ወአኮ ዘክርስቶስ።
For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
2:22
τὴν δὲ δοκιμὴν αὐτοῦ γινώσκετε, ὅτι ὡς πατρὶ τέκνον σὺν ἐμοὶ ἐδούλευσεν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον.
Experimentum autem ejus cognoscite, quia sicut patri filius, mecum servivit in Evangelio.
ወተአምርዎ ግዕዞ ለዝንቱ ብእሲ ዘከመ ተቀንየ ሊተ ከመ ወልድ ለወላዲሁ በትምህርተ ወንጌል።
But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
2:23
τοῦτον μὲν οὖν ἐλπίζω πέμψαι ὡς ἂν ἀφίδω τὰ περὶ ἐμὲ ἐξαυτῆς·
Hunc igitur spero me mittere ad vos, mox ut videro quae circa me sunt.
ኪያሁ እሴፎ እፈንዎ ፍጡነ አእሚርየ ዘከመ ሀሎኩ እፌንዎ ሶቤሃ።
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
2:24
πέποιθα δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ὅτι καὶ αὐτὸς ταχέως ἐλεύσομαι.
Confido autem in Domino quoniam et ipse veniam ad vos cito.
ወእትአመን በእግዚእነ ከመ አነሂ ፍጡነ እመጽእ።
But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
2:25
Ἀναγκαῖον δὲ ἡγησάμην Ἐπαφρόδιτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν καὶ συνεργὸν καὶ συνστρατιώτην μου, ὑμῶν δὲ ἀπόστολον καὶ λειτουργὸν τῆς χρείας μου, πέμψαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς,
Necessarium autem existimavi Epaphroditum fratrem, et cooperatorem, et commilitonem meum, vestrum autem apostolum, et ministrum necessitatis meae, mittere ad vos :
ወይእዜሰ ፈድፋደ ጽሕቁ በእንተ አፍሮዲጡ እኁነ ዘየኀብር ግብረ ምስሌየ ወዓሊ ዘክርስቶስ ወለክሙሰ ሐዋርያክሙ ወላእክየ ለትካዝየ እፌንዎ ኀቤክሙ።
But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
2:26
ἐπειδὴ ἐπιποθῶν ἦν πάντας ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀδημονῶν διότι ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἠσθένησεν.
quoniam quidem omnes vos desiderabat : et moestus erat, propterea quod audieratis illum infirmatum.
እስመ ይጽሕቅ ይርአይክሙ አእሚሮ ዘሰማዕክሙ ከመ ደወየ ወበጽሐ ለሞት።
since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
2:27
καὶ γὰρ ἠσθένησεν παραπλήσιον θανάτῳ· ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς ἠλέησεν αὐτόν, οὐκ αὐτὸν δὲ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμέ, ἵνα μὴ λύπην ἐπὶ λύπην σχῶ.
Nam et infirmatus est usque ad mortem : sed Deus misertus est ejus : non solum autem ejus, verum etiam et mei, ne tristitiam super tristitiam haberem.
ወባሕቱ እግዚአብሔር ምህሮ ወአኮ ሎቱ ለባሕቲቱ ዓዲ ሊተኒ ከመ ትካዝ በዲበ ትካዝ ኢይትወሰከኒ።
For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
2:28
σπουδαιοτέρως οὖν ἔπεμψα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἰδόντες αὐτὸν πάλιν χαρῆτε κἀγὼ ἀλυπότερος ὦ.
Festinantius ergo misi illum, ut viso eo iterum gaudeatis, et ego sine tristitia sim.
ወፈነውክዎ ፍጡነ ከመ ትርአይዎ ወትትፈሥሑ ወአነሂ ከመ እትፈሣሕ።
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
2:29
προσδέχεσθε οὖν αὐτὸν ἐν κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης χαρᾶς, καὶ τοὺς τοιούτους ἐντίμους ἔχετε,
Excipite itaque illum cum omni gaudio in Domino, et ejusmodi cum honore habetote ;
ወተወከፍዎ በእግዚእነ በኵሉ ፍሥሓ ወአክብርዎሙ ለእለ ከመዝ።
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
2:30
ὅτι διὰ τὸ ἔργον Χριστοῦ μέχρι θανάτου ἤγγισεν, παραβολευσάμενος τῇ ψυχῇ ἵνα ἀναπληρώσῃ τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα τῆς πρός με λειτουργίας.
quoniam propter opus Christi usque ad mortem accessit, tradens animam suam ut impleret id quod ex vobis deerat erga meum obsequium.
እስመ በእንተ ግብረ እግዚአብሔር በጽሐ እስከ ለሞት ወመጠወ ነፍሶ ከመ ይፈጽም ዘአሕጸጽክሙ አንትሙ እመልእክተ ዚኣየ።
because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
