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:
Nne a Pauli na a Timoteo, bhatumishi bha a Yeshu Kilishitu, tunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya bhandu bha ukonjelo bha ku Pilipi nnundenenje na a Kilishitu, pamo na ashikalongolele na bhatumishi bha likanisha.
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nema na ulele ikopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu ibhe na mmanganyanji.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu kila pungunkumbushilanga.
4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
Kila pungunnjujilanga mmowe, ngunajuga kwa angalala,
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
kwa ligongo lya nyangutila kwenunji nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, kuumila lyubha lya tandubha lila, mpaka lelo.
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.
Na nne ngunakulupalila kuti a Nnungu bhatandwibhe liengo lya mmbone mmitima jenunji, shibhapunde tenda na maliya mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Nneyo peyo, ngunaapinjikwa kunnganishiyanga mmanganyanji mmowe, pabha munninginji muntima gwangu. Numbe nshinyangutilanga na nkali nnaino ndabhilwe ino, na ata punaaliji nganabhe tabhwa, nnema jibhambele a Nnungu jila, ja bheleketela na kong'ondela Ngani ja Mmbone.
8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
A Nnungu ni bhaakong'ondela bhangu, shinguti lokolila kummonanga malinga a Yeshu Kilishitu shibhampinjilenje kwa kaje.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Kujuga kwangu ni akuno, kuti, kupinga kwenunji kupunde jenjesheka kwa kaje nnunda na nnumanyiyo lowe,
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,
nkupinga nng'agulanje indu ya mmbone. Penepo shimmanganje na mitima ja mmbone, gwangali gambwa shoshowe mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Kilishitu.
11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Akuno nngumbeywenje indu ya mmbone, ishibhampanganje a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene, kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo na iniywa kwa a Nnungu.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, gowe gambatile gala gashinkunyangutila nkujeneya Ngani ja Mmbone.
13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, bhalinda bhowe na bhandunji bhana bhowe apano bhamumanyinji kuti, kutabhwa kwangu ni kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila a Kilishitu.
14 And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
Bhai, kwa ligongo lya tabhwa kwangu, kushikwaatendanga ashaalongo ajangunji bhabhagwinji bhaakulupalilanje Bhakulungwa, mpaka nitumbililanga kulunguya ntenga gwa a Nnungu gwangali bhoga.
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
Kweli, bhananji bhanalunguyanga ngani ja a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya lupimililo na nngomo, ikabheje bhananji kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone.
16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
Bhakwetenje ndumbililo ya mmbone, bhanatendanga nneyo kwa ntima gwa pinga, numbe bhamumanyinji kuti njitabhwa, pabha a Nnungu bhashimba liengo lya bheleketela Ngani ja Mmbone.
17 The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
Ikabhe bhananji bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu kwa nngomo na wala nngabha kwa ntima gwa uguja, bhaliganishiyanga kuti, shibhanyenjesheyanje mboteko nkutabhwa kwangu.
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,
Igala nndi! Nne ngunaangalala ibhaga bhandu bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu momowe mula, ibhe kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone eu yangali ya mmbone. Kwa lyene ligongo lyo nne shing'angalale, na shimbunde kuangalala,
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.
pabha nimumanyi kuti kwa juga kwenunji na kwa jangutilwa naka Mbumu jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, gambatile gala shigapindikushe nibha ntapulo gwangu.
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.
Punguganishiya na kulupalila kwangu kuti, ngatokamala nkutenda liengo lyangu, ikabhe shingole makangala mobha gowe, na kaje agano mobha gano, nkupinga kwa nkulama kwangu eu nkuwa kwangu naape a Kilishitu kuishimika.
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Pabha kwangu nne, kulama ni a Kilishitu na kuwa ni pwaida.
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.
Bhai monaga kwa lama kwangu shingombole tenda liengo likwete pwaida, bhai ng'agule nndi? Nne ngakushimanya!
23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
Ngunalongwa indu ibhili, ngunalokolila nijileshe ajino ndamo jino niijendele ngatame na a Kilishitu, pabha lyeneli ni lya mmbone kaje,
24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
ikabheje nonjeyaga kulama, ni sha mmbone kwenu mmanganyanji.
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 kugamanya genega, nimumanyi kuti shimbunde kulama, nonjeye na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpundanje kwiishimilika na angalala nngulupai.
26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
Bhai shimwipunilanje nne, nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, pushimme na mmanganyanji kabhili.
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,
Bhai shindu shikulungwa, ndamo jenunji jibhe malinga shiipinjikwa na Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Kilishitu, nkupinga ng'ikaga eu ngaishe, mbilikane kuti nnakwiishimilikanga ukoto kwa ntima gumo, na lundana nkukomana ngondo pamo, kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ga Ngani ja Mmbone.
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.
Nnaajogopanje ashaamagongo ajenunji, nkolanje makangala, yeneyo shiibhe shilangulo ukoto, kuti bhanganyanjibho shibhalepelanje na mmanganyanji shinkombolanje, pabha a Nnungu bhayene shibhankomboyanje.
29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,
Pabha mmanganyanji nshipegwanga nema ja kwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, nngabha kwa kwaakulupalilape, ikabhe na potekwa kwa ligongo lyabho.
30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
Kwa nneyo nnongananje na nne nkukomana ngondo. Ngondo jinjibhweninji nilikomana, na launo ngunakomana, malinga shinkupilikananga.
