< Philippians 4 >
1 Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, o inyuĩ nyendete na ngeriragĩria kũmuona, nĩ inyuĩ gĩkeno gĩakwa na thũmbĩ yakwa. Endwa akwa, ũguo nĩguo mũbatiĩ kwĩhaanda mũrũmĩte thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
2 I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
Nĩngũthaitha Euodia o na thaithe Sunutuke nĩgeetha maiguane thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
3 Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
Ĩĩ-ni, o na nĩngũkũũria, wee mũrata wakwa wa ma, wee tũrutithanagia wĩra ta tuohetwo icooki rĩmwe, teithagia atumia acio, arĩa maarũĩrĩire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega marĩ hamwe na niĩ, o na Klementi na andũ arĩa angĩ marutithanagia wĩra hamwe na niĩ, arĩa marĩĩtwa mao mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Ikaragai mũkenete hĩndĩ ciothe mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Mwathani. O na nĩ nguuga o rĩngĩ: Ikaragai mũkenete!
5 Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.
Rekei gũkirĩrĩria kwanyu kũmenyeke nĩ andũ othe. Mwathani arĩ hakuhĩ gũũka.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Mũtigatangĩke ngoro nĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, no rĩrĩ, menyithagiai Ngai maũndũ marĩa mothe mwendaga, mũkĩmũhooyaga, na mũkĩmũthaithaga, o na mũkĩmũcookagĩria ngaatho.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Naguo thayũ wa Ngai, ũrĩa ũtangĩmenyeka ũrĩa ũtariĩ, nĩũrĩmenyagĩrĩra ngoro cianyu o na meciiria manyu thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
Ũhoro wa kũrĩkĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩ maũndũ marĩa ma ma, na marĩa ma gũtĩĩka, na marĩa ma kĩhooto, na marĩa matheru, na marĩa ma kwendeka, na marĩa ma kwĩrirĩrio, angĩkorwo kũrĩ maũndũ mega kũna na ma kũgaathĩrĩrio-rĩ, mwĩciiragiei ũhoro wa maũndũ ta macio.
9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Namo maũndũ marĩa mwerutire, kana mũkĩamũkĩra kana mũkĩigua kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, o na kana mũkĩona thĩinĩ wakwa, mekagei arĩ mo. Nake Ngai wa thayũ nĩarĩkoragwo hamwe na inyuĩ.
10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
Nĩngũkena mũno thĩinĩ wa Mwathani nĩkuona atĩ marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩmũrurumũkĩtie ũhoro wanyu wa kwĩĩnjiiria. Ti-itherũ nĩmũreĩnjiiragia, no mũtirarĩ na mweke wa kuonania ũguo.
11 I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
Ndiroiga ũguo nĩ ũndũ nĩmbataire, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrutĩte kũiganĩra o ũrĩa kũngĩkorwo kũhaana.
12 I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.
Nĩmenyete ũhoro wa gũikara ndĩ mũkĩaru, na ngamenya ũhoro wa gũikara ndĩ mũtongu. Nĩndĩrutĩte hitho ya gũikara njiganĩire ũndũ-inĩ o wothe na maũndũ-inĩ mothe, kana nĩ kũhũũna, kana nĩ kũhũũta, kana nĩ kũingĩhĩrwo, o na kana nĩ kwaga.
13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Nĩhotaga gwĩka maũndũ mothe na ũndũ wa Kristũ ũrĩa ũheaga hinya.
14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.
No, nĩmwekire wega nĩkũnyiitanĩra na niĩ mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa.
15 And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.
Makĩria ma ũguo, o ta ũrĩa inyuĩ andũ Afilipi mũkũmenya-rĩ, matukũ-inĩ ma mbere rĩrĩa mwahunjĩirio Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndoimire Makedonia, gũtirĩ kanitha o na ũmwe wanyiitanĩire na niĩ harĩ ũhoro wa kũheana kana kwamũkĩra, tiga o inyuĩ;
16 For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.
nĩgũkorwo o na rĩrĩa ndaarĩ Thesalonike, nĩmwandũmagĩra ũteithio kaingĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaakoragwo mbataire.
17 Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited to your account.
Ti atĩ nĩ kĩheo ndĩracaria kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ, no ndĩracaria kĩrĩa kĩngĩigwo mũthiithũ-inĩ wanyu.
18 I have all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
Nĩnyamũkĩrĩte indo nyingĩ mũno makĩria; nĩndeheirwo indo cia kũnjigana, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩnyamũkĩrĩte iheo iria mwanengerire Epafarodito andehere. Indo icio nĩ ta maruta marĩ na mũtararĩko mwega, marĩ igongona rĩĩtĩkĩrĩku rĩa gũkenia Ngai.
19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Nake Ngai wakwa nĩarĩkĩragĩrĩria kũmũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩkorwo mũbataire, akĩmũtanahagĩra na ũtonga wake ũrĩa wĩ riiri thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Nake Ngai, o we Ithe witũ, arogoocwo nginya tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn )
21 Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.
Geithiai andũ othe arĩa aamũre thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa tũrĩ nao nĩmamũgeithia.
22 All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.
Andũ othe arĩa aamũre nĩmamũgeithia, na makĩria arĩa a mũciĩ wa Kaisari.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ ũrogĩa na maroho manyu. Ameni.
