Ba Filipi 1
1 Pawulu a Timoti, ibabelesi ba Kkilisito Jesu, ibabelekela bantu ba Leza basalala muli Jesu Kkilisito ibali ku Filipi, abeendelezi bapati abadikoni.
Paul and Timothy, servants of Yeshua the Messiah, to all the holy ones in Messiah Yeshua who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Iluzyalo alumuno luzwa kuli Leza taata wesu a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito alube kulindinywe.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
3 Ndilumba Leza wangu chindi choonse nindimuyeeya.
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 Lyoonse, munkombyo zyangu zyonse nzindimuchitila, nkekkomba mukubotelwa
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 nkambo kakujatisyania andinywe ijwi kuzwa kubuzuba butaanzi kuzosika lino.
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 Ndilakkutisika anchiicho chintu echi, chakuli oyo iwakatalika mulimo mubotu mulindinywe uyoyinkilila kunembo akuchita kuti akawumane ado kubuzuba bwa Jesu Kkilisito.
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Yeshua the Messiah.
7 Chilikabotu kuti ndilimvwe kabotu atala andinywe nkambo muli mumoyo wangu. Moonse mwalijisini andime chaluzyalo nikuba mukujalilwa muntolongo akububotu bwangu amukusisikizigwa kwajwi.
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 defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 Nkambo Leza ngukkamboni wangu, mukumuyandisya kwangu moonse alwetelelo lwa Kkilisito Jesu.
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Messiah Yeshua.
9 Aboobo njeyi inkombyo yangu: Kuti luyando lwanu lukomene mubwiingi lyoonse muluzibo akumvwisisisya koonse
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 kuchitila kuti mubotye eecho chibotu kwindilila, alimwi mukuti mube aabwini akutaba amulandu mane busike buzuba bwa Kkilisito,
so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Messiah,
11 nkamuzwide muchelo wabululami ooyo uuza kubulemu akutembawulwa kwa Leza kwindila muli Jesu Kkilisito.
being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Lino ndiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti ezi zyakachitika kulindime zyagwasya loko kukunyampula kwendelela kwajwi.
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 Nkaambo kaako inketani zyangu muli Kkilisito zyaboneka kuli basikulinda muunzi wa Mwami akubantu boonse.
so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Messiah,
14 Ibakwesu biingi bajana kumvwisisisya muMwami akambo kanketani zyangu, alimwi baba abukozu bwakwambula ijwi kabatayoowi.
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 Nchonzyo bamwi bakonzya kukambawuka Kkilisito chakutangalilana abulwani na, alimwi bamwi bachita amoyo mubotu.
Some indeed proclaim Messiah even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 Ibamusule bachita aluyando, mukuziba kubi ndabikwa aano kuti ndikwabilile ijwi.
The former insincerely proclaim Messiah from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 Pesi ibakayinda bakambawuka Kkilisito amizeezo yakulipa, pepe mubwini. Bayeeya kuti balandiinda mpuwo aawo nenchisungidwe.
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 Ani niinzi lino? Ado kuti munzila zyoonse nikuba zyajungwe lyakubeja kana lyakasimpe - Kkilisito uli kukkambawukwa, alimwi eezi zilandibotezya. Iyii, alimwi ndiyobotelwa,
What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Messiah is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19 nkambo ndilizi kuti eezi ziyondipa kwangununwa kwinda munkoombyo zyenu alugwasyo lwa Muuya wa Jesu Kkilisito.
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Yeshua the Messiah,
20 Kuzumana kwabulangizi alusyomo lwangu kuti taakwe mbundiyooba amawuse pesi ndiyoba aanguzu, lino mbuli kuti lyoonse, Kkilisito uyomemezegwa mumubili wangu, nikuba mukupona kana kulufu.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 Nkambo kuti ndiponede ngu Kkilisito alimwi kufwa nimpindu.
For to me to live is Messiah, and to die is gain.
22 Pesi aanoli kwali kuti ndipona munyama, eechi chaamba mulimu uzyala michelo kuli ndime. Pesi ndilasala chili? Nsichizi pe.
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 Nkambo ndilimanikizigwe azintu zibili. Ikupeekezya kwangu nkuti ndizwe ndikabe aa Kkilisito, kachili nchechintu chibotu loko,
But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Messiah, which is far better.
24 Pesi kupona munyama mukubona kachili chintu chipati kuli ndinywe.
Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 Mukukkutisika acheechi, ndilizi kuti ndiyochala akwinkilila kunembo andinywe, kuchitila kuzwidilila akubotelwa kwenu mulusyomo.
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 Kuchitila kuti muli ndime mukajane twaambo twingi tutakamupe kupakala muli Kkilisito Jesu aawo ndakuubola lubo kulindinywe.
that your boasting may abound in Messiah Yeshua in me through my presence with you again.
27 Inywe amulyendelezye biyomunzila iyendelana aajwi lya Kkilisito, kuchitila kuti ndaboola kuzomubona kana tendabola, ndikonzye kumvwa aatala andinywe, kuti muliimvwi njii mumuuya omwe, amuzeezo oomwe wakufundumanina lusyomo lyajwi kali antoomwe.
Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Messiah, 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 Tamukongwi nikuba muli iili inzila abaabo mbimu suleene aabo. Eechi nchikozyanisyo kuli mbabo ichaamba kumwayika kwabo, pesi kuli ndinywe ndufutuko - alimwi luzwa kuli Leza.
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 Nkaambo lwakapegwa biyo kuli ndinywe akambo ka Kkilisito kutali kuti biyo musyome mulinguwe, pesi akuti mumufwabile,
Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30 kamuli ensandulo lukazyanio ndumwakabona mulindime, alimwi lino mulalumvwa muli ndime.
having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
