Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Pauro naTimoti, varanda vaKristu Jesu, kuvatsvene vose muna Kristu Jesu vari paFiripi, pamwe chete navatariri navadhikoni vekereke:
2 grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu ngazvive kwamuri.
3 I thank my God on every remembrance of you―
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzose pandinokurangarirai.
4 always in every supplication of mine for you all, making my supplication with joy―
Muminyengetero yangu yose nokuda kwenyu mose, ndinogara ndichinyengetera nomufaro
5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day till now:
nokuda kwokubata pamwe kwenyu muvhangeri kubvira pazuva rokutanga kusvikira zvino,
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you, will carry it on till the day of Jesus Christ;
ndichiziva izvi, kuti iye akatanga basa rakanaka mamuri acharipedzisa kusvikira pazuva raKristu Jesu.
7 as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I say I have you in my heart; both in my bonds and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, I say I have you all in my heart as being joint partakers of my grace.
Zvakanaka kwandiri kuti ndifunge saizvozvo pamusoro penyu mose, sezvo ndinemi mumwoyo; nokuti kunyange ndakasungwa nengetani kana kuti ndichidzivirira nokusimbisa vhangeri, imi mose munogovana neni munyasha dzaMwari.
8 For God is my witness how ardently I love you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Mwari anogona kupupura kuti ndinokufungai sei imi mose norudo rwaKristu Jesu.
9 I also pray for this, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding,
Uye uyu ndiwo munyengetero wangu: kuti rudo rwenyu ruwande uye muwanze kuziva nokunzwisisa,
10 in order that you may distinguish things that differ, to the end that you may be pure and blameless till the day of Christ,
kuitira kuti mugogona kunzwisisa kuti zvakaisvonaka ndezvipi uye muve vakachena uye mushayiwe chamungapomerwa kusvikira pazuva raKristu,
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which fruit is by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
muzere nechibereko chokururama chinouya kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, kuti kubwinya nokurumbidzwa zvive kuna Mwari.
12 But I wish you to know, brethren, that the things which have befallen me have turned out rather to the advancement of the gospel;
Zvino ndinoda kuti muzive, hama dzangu, kuti zvakaitika kwandiri zvakabatsira zvikuru kufambisa vhangeri.
13 so that my bonds which are for Christ have become known to be such in all the palace, and in all other places;
Nokuda kwaizvozvo, zvava pachena kuvarindi vomuzinda wamambo nokuna vose kuti ndiri mungetani nokuda kwaKristu.
14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence in my bonds, are more bold to speak the word without fear.
Nokuda kwengetani dzangu, hama zhinji muna She dzakakurudzirwa kuti vataure shoko raMwari vakashinga zvikuru uye vasingatyi.
15 Some, indeed, preach the Christ, because of envy and a contentious disposition, and some because of good-will.
Ichokwadi kuti vamwe vanoparidza Kristu negodo uye negakava, asi vamwe nenzira yakanaka.
16 These do it from love, because they know that I am set for the defense of the gospel;
Vamwe vanoita izvozvo murudo, vachiziva kuti ndakaiswa muno nokuda kwokudzivirira vhangeri.
17 those preach Christ from a contentious disposition, not sincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.
Vamwe vaiparidza Kristu nomwoyo woruchiva, vasina kutendeka, vachifungidzira kuti vangandimutsira dambudziko ndichiri mungetani.
18 What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice:
Asi zvisinei hazvo, chinhu chinokosha ndechokuti munzira dzose, dzingava ndangariro dzenhema kana dzechokwadi, Kristu ari kuparidzwa hake. Uye nokuda kwaizvozvi ndinofara. Hongu, uye ndicharamba ndichifara,
19 for I know that this will result in my benefit through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
nokuti ndinoziva kuti kubudikidza neminyengetero yenyu uye norubatsiro runopiwa noMweya waJesu Kristu, zvakaitika kwandiri zvichashanduka zvikava kusunungurwa kwangu.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but with all boldness, as at all times, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
Ndinoshuva zvikuru nokutarira kuti handingazonyadziswi, asi ndichava nokushinga kwakakwana kuitira kuti zvino senguva dzose Kristu achakudzwa mumuviri wangu, muupenyu kana murufu.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Nokuti kwandiri, kurarama ndiKristu uye kufa kupfuma.
22 But if this, my life in the flesh, would be profitable for my work in the ministry, verily, what I should choose I know not.
Kana ndikaramba ndichirarama mumuviri, izvi zvichareva kubata kune zvibereko kwandiri. Asi ndichasarudzeiko? Handizivi!
23 I am in a strait between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better:
Ndiri pakati pezvinhu zviviri zvinoti: Ndinoda kuenda kuti ndive naKristu, zvinova ndizvo zviri nani nokupfuuridza;
24 yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
asi zvinokoshawo zvikuru kwamuri kuti ndirambe ndiri mumuviri uyu.
25 And of this I feel assured, that I shall remain and continue among you all for your advancement and joy in the faith,
Ndichitenda chinhu ichi, ndinoziva kuti ndichagara, uye ndicharamba ndinemi mose kuti mupfuurire mberi uye mufare mukutenda kwenyu,
26 that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may become more abundant through me by my being present among you again.
kuitira kuti ndichinge ndadzoka kwamuri zvakare, mufaro wenyu muna Kristu Jesu ugozadziswa nokuda kwangu.
27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Christ, that, whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,
Zvisinei kuti chii chaitika kwandiri, murambe muchifamba nenzira yakafanira vhangeri raKristu. Ipapo, kunyange ndikauya kuzokuonai kana kunzwa nezvenyu ndisipo hangu, ndichaziva kuti mumire nesimba mumweya mumwe, muchirwa somunhu mumwe nokuda kwokutenda kwevhangeri,
28 and in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
musingatyiswi nenzira ipi zvayo neavo vanopikisana nemi. Ichi ndicho chiratidzo kwavari kuti vachaparadzwa, uye kuti imi muchaponeswa naMwari.
29 For to you it is given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but, also, to suffer for him,
Nokuti makapiwa imi, nokuda kwaKristu, kuti musangotenda kwaari bedzi, asi kuti mutambudzike nokuda kwake,
30 since you have the same conflict that you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
sezvo muri mukurwa kumwe chete uku kwamakandiona ndinako, uye kwamunoziva zvino kuti ndichinako.
