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:
Neni Paulu pamuhera na Timotewu wantumintumi wa Kristu Yesu, Twankuwalembera mwenga wananagala yamulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu yamuwera Filipi, pamuhera na wakulu na watanga wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Manemu na ponga ga Mlungu Tati gwetu na ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
Nonga mayagashii kwa Mlungu gwangu kila panuwahola mwenga,
4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
na kila panuwaluwira woseri mwenga kwa Mlungu, nankuwaluwira kwa kunemelera,
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
toziya ntambu yamuntangiti mulihengu lya Shisoweru Shiwagira kwanjira pampikaniriti mpaka leru.
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.
Su nwera na unakaka kuwera yomberi yakalyanjiti lihengu ali liherepa mngati mwenu, hakendereyi nalu mpaka limaliriki mulishaka lilii lya Kristu Yesu.
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.
Su hangu ndo ntambu yanfiruwa kuwahola toziya nuwaholani mashaka goseri mumoyu mwangu. Toziya mwawoseri mwenga mtenditi pamuhera mumanemu gampananitwi na Mlungu, vinu neni pawera mushibetubetu ama paweriti mlekeziwu kwanja kushilolera hweri na kushilanguziya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Mlungu ndo mkapitawu gwangu kuwera nfira kuwawona mwenga kwa mafiliru galaa galii ga Kristu Yesu.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Neni numuluwa Mlungu kuwera mafiliru genu kwongereki nentu pamuhera na umana wa unakaka na luhala lwa kila ntambu,
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,
su mweza kusyagula shitwatira shashiherepa na hamuweri waherepa pota na kuwera na shitakulirwa shoseri shilii mulishaka liii lya Kristu.
11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Makaliru genu hagamemiziwi vitwatira vyoseri vya nakaka vyavimfiriziya Mlungu, Yesu Kristu mweni kaweza kuwapanana, kwa ukwisa na uzyumi wa Mlungu.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
Walongu wayetu, nfira muvimani kuwera vitwatira vyoseri vyampatiti neni vintanga nentu kushiyeniziya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
Su walolera woseri wa numba ya mfalumi pamuhera na wamonga woseri panu wavimana kuwera nwera mushibetubetu toziya neni nankumtendera Kristu.
14 And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
Na kwaneni kuwera mushibetubetu, walongu wayetu mngati mwa Kristu wavuwa wawera wagangamala mukubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu pota na lyoga.
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
Yanakaka kuwera wamu wawu wamubwera Kristu toziya wawera na weya na wawera wantu wa ndewu, kumbiti wamonga wankumubwera Kristu toziya wafira kuwatanga wantu.
16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
Womberi wankutenda hangu kwa mafiliru gaherepa toziya wankuvimana kuwera Mlungu kanupiti lihengu ali lya kushitakulira Shisoweru Shiwagira.
17 The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
Kumbiti wamonga walii yawambwera Kristu kwa moyu yagunanagala ndiri, kumbiti kwa weya pawalihola kuwera hawanongeleri neni ntabika pawera mushibetubetu.
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,
Hashi, nongi shishi? Neni nankunemelera payiwera wantu wankumubwera Kristu kwa kila njira, iweri kwa nfiru iherepa ama nfiru idoda, kayi hanendereyi kunemelera
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.
toziya nuvimana kuwera kupitira kumluwa Mlungu kwa mwenga na kwa utanga wa Rohu gwa Yesu Kristu, hanvugulirwi.
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.
Mata yaneni nkulu na litumbiru lyangu, ndo kuwera hapeni nsindi mulihengu lyangu, kumbiti vipindi vyoseri asa mushipindi ashi, hanumkwisi Kristu mumakaliru gangu, panulikala ama pahowa.
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Nulikala kwa kumtendera Kristu na kuhowa kwaneni mota.
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.
Handa panendereya kulikala neni hanwezi kutenda lihengu lyaliwera na mota nentu. Hashi, neni nsyaguli shishi? Neni nuvimana ndiri.
23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
Neni nkwegwa wega mbili. Neni nfira nentu kulawa munshimba ayi na nulikoleri pamuhera na Kristu, shitwatira ashi shiweza kuwera shiherepa nentu,
24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
kumbiti iherepa nentu kwamwenga neni panendereya kulikala.
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,
Neni nwera na unakaka na shitwatira ashi, nuvimana kuwera neni hansigali na hanendereyi kulikala pamuhera na maweni mwenga woseri, su mpati kwongera munjimiru yenu pamuhera na nemeleru,
26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
su neni pawera na mwenga kayi, mwenga hamuweri na toziya ya kumtumbira Kristu Yesu kwa ntambu yakantendiriti.
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,
Su shitwatira shiherepa ndo shiwera mgenderanu gwenu gulikolerani pamuhera na Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Kristu ntambu yayifiruwa, su handa paweza kwiza kwa mwenga kuwawona ama pampikanira mwenga, neni hanuvimani kuwera mwenga mgangamala pamuhera na nfiru yimu na viraa muvikomi ngondu kwa pamuhera na muwera na nfiru yimu toziya ya njimiru ya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
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.
Namuwatira kwa ntambu yoseri ilii wantu yawawalema, ayi hayiweri lilangaliru kwawu kuwera hawagamili, kumbiti mwenga hamlopoziwi na Mlungu.
29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,
Toziya mwenga mpananwa upendelewu wa kumtendera Kristu, kumjimira ndiri hera kumbiti kutabisiwa toziya ya yomberi.
30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
Vinu muweza kutenda pamuhera naneni kuzikoma ngondu. Ngondu azi ndo zilii zyamuziwoniti panuzikomiti pa lupaga na nankali nankuzikoma mpaka vinu ntambu yampikanira.
