Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
Pauli ni Timoti, bhatumishi bha Kristu Yesu, kwa bhala bhatengibhu mwa kristu bhabhitema Filipi, pamonga ni bhabhiyangilila ni mashemasi.
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema na j'hiyelayi kwa muenga ni amani j'hayih'omela kwa K'yara dadiyetu ni Bwana bhitu Yesu kristu.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
Nikammbombesya K'yara bhengu kila pa nikabhak'homb'hoka muenga mwebhoha.
4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
Mara syoha kila liombi lyangu kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga mwebhoha, huwa nikobhoka panikabhas'omela.
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
Niyele ni shukrani limehele kwandabha j'ha ushirika bhw'henu muinjili kuh'omela ligono lya lya kubhwandelu mpaka lelu.
6 being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Niyele nibhuhakika kuj'ha muene j'haoyandisi lihengu linofu mugati mwa muenga ibeyendelela kuj'hikamilisya mpaka ligono lya Bwana YesuKristu.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.
Ni sawa kwa nene kujip'heleka naha nalabha j'hamuenga mwabhoha kwa nakbha mmbabhakhili mun'teema bhwangu. Kwandabha muenga muyele bhashirika bhayinu mwa neema mukifungu kyangu ni mu utetezi ni bhuthibitishaji bhwangu bhwa injili.
8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
K'yara ndo shahidi ghwa nene, ndabha kyaniyele ni shauku ndabha j'ha muenga mwebhoha mu ugati ghwa pendo lya Yesu kristu.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Na nis'oma kuj'ha: lugano lwinu bhuyongesekai zaidi ni zaidi mu maarifa ni luhala lwoha.
10 so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
Nis'oma kwandabha j'ha e'le muyelai kinofu ni bhuwezo bhwa kup'hema ni kuchagula mambo ghaghayele kinofu sana. Pia nikihabhas'omela ili muyelai kinofu bila kuj'ha nihatia j'hoj'hioha y'hela muligono lya Kristu.
11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Na pia ili mmemesibhwaya ni litunda lya haki lyalipatikana mwa Yesu Kristu, kwa bhutukufu ni sifa j'ha K'yara.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
Henu bhalongobhangu, nilonda mmanyayi kuj'ha mambo ghaghah'omili kwa nene ghaghaifwanjili injili iyendelelayi sana.
13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
Ndo maana fifungu fyangu mu Kristu, fimanyik'hene kwa bhalinzi bha ikulu iyoha ni kwa k'hila munu pia.
14 And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
Ni bhalongo bhingi mu Bhwana kwandabha j'ha fifungu fyanene bhashawishiki nikuthubutu kulihubiri lilobhi bila khutila.
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
Bhamana kuweli hata bhikhanta ngasya Kristu kwa fitina ningondo, na pia bhamana kwa nia yinofu.
16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
Bhala bhabhakantangasya Kristu kwa lugano bhamanyili kuj'ha nibhekhibhu apanai kwa ndabha j'ha kuitetela injili.
17 The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
Bali bhangi bhikantangasya Kristu, kwa bhubinafsi ni kwa nia yibaya. Bhidhanila kuj'ha bhisababisya matatizo kwa nene muminyororo ghyangu.
18 What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
Henu? nijali lepi aidha nj'hela iyelai ni kwa hilarious au kwa bhukweli, Kristu itangasibhwa ni mu e'le nihobhok'hela! Ndo, nibekuhobhokila.
19 because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.
kwa kuj'ha nimanyili e'le libekutokula kubhopolibhwa kwa nene. like Jambo e'le libekutokula kwandabha j'ha maombi ghinu ni kwa msaada bhwa Roho j'ha yes Kristu.
20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
kul'hengana ni matajio ghangu ghabhuhakika ni ibhukweli ni kwamba, nibebhona lepisoni. Badala yiake, kwabhujasiri bhuoha, Kama ambavyo magono ghoha ni henu, nitarajila kuj'ha Kristu ibekuyinulibhwa mu mb'hele bhwangu, ikayelaye mu bhusima au mu kafwelelu.
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
kwa maana kwanene kuishi ni Kristu na kufwa ni faida.
22 But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
lakini Kama kutama mu m'mb'hele wihogola litunda mu lihengu lyangu, kwahenu nd'hesi l'el'eku lya kuchagula.
23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
Maana nisukumibhwa sana ni mawazo agha mab'hele. Niye ni hamu j'ha kuleka m'mb'hele ni kuj'ha pamonja ni Kristu, k'henu ambakyo ni kya thamani sanasana.
24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
Ingawa, kubakila mu m'mb'hele obho nik'henu kya mhimu sana kwa ndabha j'ha muenga.
25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
kwa kuj'ha niyele ni bhuhakika kwa ndabha j'ha e'le nimanyili nibhebakila nikuj'hendelela kuj'ha pamonja namu mwe bhoha, kwa ndabha j'ha maendeleo ni furaha j'ha muenga.
26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
Na e'le libeleta furaha j'ha muenga ibhaha mwa kristu Yesu, kwa ndabha j'ha kuj'ha kwa nene yibekuyongeseka, kwa ndabha kuj'ha kwa nene kabhele pamonja namu.
27 Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,
Mwilondeka kutama maisha gha muenga mu mwenendo unofu ghwaghukayilonda injili j'lia Kristu. Mkhetayi mebhu ili nikahialayi kubhalanga au nikabelayi kuhiola, nip'helekai kuj'ha my'emili kinofu mu Roho yimonga. Natamani kup'eleka kuj'ha myele ni Roho yimonga, mkayikhomanela imani j'ha injili kwa pamonga.
28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.
msitisibhu ni k'henu kyokyok'hula kyakifwanyibhwa ni maadui bha muenga. Ey'e kwa bhene n'do ishara j'ha uharibifu. Bali kwa muenga n'do ishara j'ha bhwokovu kuh'oma kwa K'yara. kwa maana muenga mpelibhu kwa
29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,
ndabha j'ha Kristu, sio kumwamini tu, bali ni kutesibhwa pia kwa muene.
30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
kwa maana muye ni ngondo y'elay'ela Kama kyamkayibhwene kwa nenga na mwip'eleka kuj'ha niyenabhu hata h'enu.
