Jo-Filipi 1
1 An Paulo gi Timotheo ma wasumb Kristo Yesu, Wandikonu un jomaler duto mag Kristo Yesu man Filipi, kaachiel gi jokwadh jo-Kristo duto gi jokonygi:
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Ngʼwono kod kwe mar Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruoth Yesu Kristo, obed kodu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Adwokone Nyasacha erokamano seche duto ma aparoue.
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 Kinde duto ka alemonu, to alemonu gi mor,
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 nikech riwruok maru kodwa e tij lando Injili chakre odiechiengʼ mokwongo nyaka koroni,
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 omiyo koro an gichir malongʼo ni Jal mane ochako tich maberno e chunyu biro dhi kode nyime nyaka chop orum e odiechieng Kristo Yesu.
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7 En gima kare mondo apar kamano kuomu uduto nikech agenou e chunya; kata ka an e twech kata ka asiro adiera mar Injili kendo ajiwe to un uduto usebedo koda e achiel kuom ngʼwono mar Nyasaye.
It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 Nyasaye owuon nyalo timo nenda kaka chunya gombou duto ka an-gi hera matut mar Kristo Yesu.
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Kendo ma e lamona mondo herau omedre mathoth ahinya kuom rieko kod ngʼeyo,
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 kendo mondo ubed gi rieko mar yiero mana timo gima ber kende. Kamano ngimau nobed maler kendo maonge bura, nyaka chop odiechieng Kristo.
so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offence to the day of Christ,
11 Ngimau nopongʼ gi olemo mag timbe makare maa kuom Yesu Kristo mondo Nyasaye oyud duongʼ kod pak.
being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Jowetena, koro adwaro ni ungʼe, ni gik mosetimorena osemiyo Injili omedo landore.
Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
13 Kuom mano, koro osengʼere malongʼo ne askeche dala ruoth duto, kod ji mamoko duto ni otweya nikech Kristo.
so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
14 Bedona e twech osemiyo jowete mathoth odoko thuondi kuom Ruoth, mi giyalo Wach Nyasaye gi chir maonge luoro.
and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 En adier ni jomoko lando wach Kristo ka gin-gi ich lit kod miero, to jomoko to lande ka chunygi ni kare.
Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 Joma lando Injili gi chuny makarego lendo gihera, ka gingʼeyo ni oketa e twech mondo aked matek ni Injili.
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 Joma lando Kristo ka gin-gi ich lit gi miero to timo kamano mondo oyud duongʼ, ka giparo niginyalo medona chandruok ka pod an e od twech.
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defence of the Good News.
18 To onge wach! Gima duongʼ en ni wach Kristo ilando e yore duto; kata gi chuny marach, kata maber, kendo mano medo miya mor moloyo. Ee, kendo pod abiro medo bedo mamor,
What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19 nikech angʼeyo ni kuom lemo mulemonago kod kony ma ayudo kuom Roho mar Yesu Kristo, gik mosetimorenago ema bende biro kelona resruok.
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Dwarona maduongʼ kod genona en ni ok anane wichkuot, to ni abiro bedo gi teko moromo mondo Kristo osik ka yudo duongʼ e ringra kaka pile, bed ni angima kata atho.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 Nikech an aneno ni ka angima, to angima nikech Kristo, to ka atho to en ohala.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Kane anyalo medo bedo mangima e ringruok, to mano nyiso ni abiro medo tiyo tich makelo ohala. To koro dayier angʼo? Ok angʼeyo gima dayier!
But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
23 Yiero otama e kind gik mabeyo ariyogi: Chunya gombo ni atho mondo adhi abed gi Kristo, kendo mano en gima ber moloyo,
But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24 to daher moloyo mondo amed bedo mangima e ringruok nikech un.
Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 Nikech chunya nigi ratiro chutho ni pod onego akonyu, kendo angʼeyo chutho ni pod abiro bet kodu duto mondo ami umed geroru kendo ubed mamor e yie maru,
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 mondo omi bedona kodu kendo omedu mor moloyo kuom Kristo Yesu nikech an.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27 To kata obedo ni angʼo motimore, to usik kudak e kit ngimau mapile mowinjore gi Injili mar Kristo. Kata ka abiro nenou, kata ka ok abiro, to adwaro winjo ni uchungʼ motegno gi chuny achiel kendo gi paro achiel mondo ukedni adiera mar Injili,
Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
28 ma ok obwogu e yo moro amora, gi joma kwedou. Mano biro bedonegi ranyisi ni ibiro tiekgi, to un ibiro resu kendo Nyasaye ema biro timo mano.
and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29 Nikech dhial museyudo kuom Kristo ok en mana mondo uyie kuome kende, to oseluongu bende mondo une masiche nikech en,
Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30 nikech ukedo lweny nogo mane unena kakedo e kinde mokalo, kendo ma pod uwinjo ni akedo.
having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
