Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
Nene Pauli na Timoti vatumisi va Yesu Kilisitu. Tikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga mwemuvi ku Filipi mwemuwungini na Kilisitu Yesu, pamonga na vachilongosi na vatangatila va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu Yesu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Lukumbi lwoha nikumsengusa Chapanga penikuvakumbuka.
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
Lukumbi lwoha penikuvayupila mwavoha kwa Chapanga ndi nikuvayupila kwa luheku,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
ndava ya kuwungana na nene mulihengu la kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina kuhumila kutumbula hati lelu.
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Hinu nimanya chakaka kuvya Chapanga mweatumbwili lihengu lenili labwina mumitima yinu, yati ayiyendeleza mbaka mu ligono lila la kubwela kavili Yesu Kilisitu.
7 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.
Ndi chabwina nene kuvaholalela nyenye ndava nyenye muvi mugati ya mutima wangu. Ndava muni mwavoha nyenye muhanganila na nene muubwina weatipeli Chapanga mukukokosa na kulikengelela Lilovi la Bwina, hinu penivili mchifungu na kutumbula penalekekiswi.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Chapanga amanyili kuvya nijova chakaka pala penijova muuganu kwa mtima wangu woha, kwa uganu wewihuma kwa Kilisitu Yesu.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Nikumuyupa Chapanga uganu winu uyonjokesa neju na neju pamonga na kuumanya uchakaka na luhala lwoha,
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
muhotola kuhagula lijambu lelivi labwina neju. Penapo ndi yati mwivya vabwina changali uhakau wowoha pa ligono la kuwuya Kilisitu.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Wumi winu yati wimemeswa mambu gala geakugagana Chapanga mujila ya Kilisitu Yesu ndu ndava ya ukulu wa Chapanga na muni vandu vamtopesa na kumulumba Chapanga.
12 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,
Valongo vangu, nigana mmanya kuvya mambu goha geganikolili gatangatili neju kudandasa Lilovi la Bwina.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
Ndava ya genago valonda voha va nyumba ya nkosi pamonga na vangi voha penapa vimanya kuvya nivii muchifungu ndava nene nikumhengela Kilisitu.
14 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.
Ndava ya kukungiwa muchifungu ndi kuvakitili valongo vamahele vahotola kuyima cha kusindimala kwa sadika kwa Bambu, hati vahotola kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga changali wogohi.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Chakaka vandu vangi vakumkokosa Kilisitu ndava vana wihu na luhonda, nambu vangi vakokosa Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu kwa mtima wabwina na kugana kuvatangatila vandu.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Vandu ava vihenga naha kwa mtima wa uganu muni vamanyili kuvya Chapanga anipeli lihengu lenili la kuyikengelela Lilovi la Bwina.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
Nambu vangi vala vakulikokosa Lilovi la Kilisitu kwa mhutanu nambu lepi kwa mtima wa bwina. Viholalela mukukita genago vakuniyonjokesela mang'ahiso gangu muchifungu.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
Hinu chindu lepi! Nene niheka ngati vandu vakumkokosa Kilisitu kwa kila njila, yivya kwa mtima wabwina amala kwa mtima uhakau, kavili yati niyendelela kuheka.
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Ndi nimanyili kuvya chamukuniyupila na mu njila ya utangatila wa Mpungu wa Yesu Kilisitu, goha geganikolili nene yati nihuma muchifungu.
20 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.
Nihuvalila kwa mnogo uvaha na kuhuvalila ndi kuvya katu yati nikola lepi soni kwa kuleka kuhenga gegiganikiwa ndava ya Yesu Kilisitu. Ngati chanahengili kadeni. Na hinu nisadika wumi wangu yati ukumpela utopesa Kilisitu nivya mumi amala nifwili.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Kwa nene kuvya mumi ndi kumuhengela Kilisitu hati kufwa ndi chindu chabwina neju kwangu.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I do not know what I will choose.
Nambu ngati mukutama yati nihotola kuhenga lihengu la kuvatangatila vandu vangi. Hinu nimanyili lepi? Nihagula loki!
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Nihutwa kuni na kuni mambu aga gavili. Ninogela kuuleka mulima uwu muni nihambayi kutama pamonga na Kilisitu, lijambu lelivii labwina neju,
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
nambu chabwina neju kwinu nyenye ngati niyendalili kutama.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
Namwene nimanyili chakaka kuvya yati niyendelela kutama na nyenye voha muni muvatangatila muusadika na muvya na luheku musadika yeniyo,
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Hinu penivya na nyenye kavili, yati mwivya na chindu cha kumekela neju ndava yangu muwumi wa kuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
27 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;
Hinu, lijambu leliganikiwa ndi kuvya matendu ginu gavyai ngati cheligana Lilovi la Bwina la Kilisitu muni ngati nihotwili kuwuya kwinu amala nakuhotola, muni nipata kuyuwana kuvya musindimili kuyima muvi mtima umonga na mtovana ngondo kwa mtima umonga. Ndava ya kuyikengelela sadika yeyiletwa na Lilovi la Bwina.
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
Mkotoka kuvayogopa vamakoko vinu, nambu mvya vakekesi magono goha, na yeniyo yikuvalangisa kuvya vene yati vihoto lepi, nambu nyenye mukuvahotola muni Chapanga mwene ndi mweakuvapela uhotola.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
Muni nyenye mudinduliwi mlyangu wa kumhengela Kilisitu lepi kumsadika ndu, nambu mewa mukung'aiswa ndava ya mwene.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Hinu mwihotola kuvya pamonga na nene mukutovana ngondo. Ngondo yeniyi ndi yila yemwalolili yanatovana kadeni pala nakona nitovana hinu ngati chemwiyuwana.
