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 which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

2 Ngʼwono kod kwe mar Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruoth Yesu Kristo, obed kodu.

grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Adwokone Nyasacha erokamano seche duto ma aparoue.

I give thanks to my God on every remembrance of you,

4 Kinde duto ka alemonu, to alemonu gi mor,

always in every prayer of mine for you all, making request with joy,

5 nikech riwruok maru kodwa e tij lando Injili chakre odiechiengʼ mokwongo nyaka koroni,

for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day even 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 hath wrought in you the good work will perfect 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.

as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I bear you on my heart, both in my bonds and in my defence and the confirmation of the gospel, as being all of you sharers in my 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 earnestly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

9 Kendo ma e lamona mondo herau omedre mathoth ahinya kuom rieko kod ngʼeyo,

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding;

10 kendo mondo ubed gi rieko mar yiero mana timo gima ber kende. Kamano ngimau nobed maler kendo maonge bura, nyaka chop odiechieng Kristo.

that ye may prove the things that are excellent, in order that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ;

11 Ngimau nopongʼ gi olemo mag timbe makare maa kuom Yesu Kristo mondo Nyasaye oyud duongʼ kod pak.

filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.

12 Jowetena, koro adwaro ni ungʼe, ni gik mosetimorena osemiyo Injili omedo landore.

Now I wish you, brethren, to know, that the things which have befallen me have rather conduced to the progress of the gospel;

13 Kuom mano, koro osengʼere malongʼo ne askeche dala ruoth duto, kod ji mamoko duto ni otweya nikech Kristo.

so that my bonds are manifest in Christ through the whole palace, and all other places;

14 Bedona e twech osemiyo jowete mathoth odoko thuondi kuom Ruoth, mi giyalo Wach Nyasaye gi chir maonge luoro.

and very many of our brethren in the Lord, assuming confidence from my chains, are more abundantly bold, fearlessly to preach the word.

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 do it in a spirit of envy and strife; but some also preach Christ with cordial good-will:

16 Joma lando Injili gi chuny makarego lendo gihera, ka gingʼeyo ni oketa e twech mondo aked matek ni Injili.

the one indeed preach Christ out of contention, not with purity of intention, thinking to add affliction to my bonds:

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 others of love, knowing that I am exposed for the defence of the gospel.

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 then? if Christ is preached in whatever manner it be, whether in pretext or reality, even in this do I rejoice, yea, 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 shall issue in 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 firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or 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 it be his will, that I should live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my travail: and what to chuse I know not.

23 Yiero otama e kind gik mabeyo ariyogi: Chunya gombo ni atho mondo adhi abed gi Kristo, kendo mano en gima ber moloyo,

For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better:

24 to daher moloyo mondo amed bedo mangima e ringruok nikech un.

but to abide in the flesh may be more necessary for you.

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,

And being so persuaded, I know that I shall stay and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith;

26 mondo omi bedona kodu kendo omedu mor moloyo kuom Kristo Yesu nikech an.

that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus for me by my coming again unto you.

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 conduct yourselves worthily as becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul wrestling together in the faith of the gospel;

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 not dismayed on any occasion by your adversaries; which is indeed the proof of perdition to them, but of salvation to you, 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,

For this favour on the part of Christ is granted you, not only that ye should believe on him, but also that ye should suffer for his sake;

30 nikech ukedo lweny nogo mane unena kakedo e kinde mokalo, kendo ma pod uwinjo ni akedo.

experiencing the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.
