Philippians 1

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:

Filipa yaaba. Mini Polo leni Timote, Jesu Kilisiti naacenba, n diani yipo li tili, yinba yaaba n tie bi nigagihanba Jesu Kilisiti nni ki ye Filipa dogu nni leni yi nitaanli yudanba leni yi todikaaba kuli.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ti Baa U Tienu leni ti diedo Jesu Kilisiti n pa yi li hanbili leni mi yanduanma.

3 I give praise to my God at every memory of you,

N tuondi U Tienu min tiadi yipo ya yogunu kuli.

4 And in all my prayers for you all, making my request with joy,

Min jaandi yikuli po ya yogunu kuli, n jaandi leni li pamanli.

5 Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;

Kelima yin taa leni nni ki todi nni o laabaalihamo wangima po maama, ki cili yin den gbadi o ya daali ki pundi hali moala.

6 For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

N daani ki go bani cain ke yua n cili laa tuonhanli yi niinni baa tuuni li hali lin gbeni Jesu Kilisiti guacuama daali.

7 So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

Li pundi min ya tiadi yikuli po kelima n kubi yikuli n pali nni. Min ye kadi nni leni min maadi ki ga o laabaaliham

8 For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

o ki teni ke o se ki pa, yikuli taani leni nni ki baadi min baadi ya hanbili U Tienu kani. U Tienu tie npo seedi ke n bua yikuli leni Jesu Kilisiti ya buamoanma.

9 And my prayer is that you may be increased more and more in knowledge and experience;

Min miadi U Tienu yipo yaala n jaandi nni tie ke yi buama n yaa yabidi ki pugidi leni mi bandima leni mi yafuomoanma,

10 So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;

ke yin bandi ki gagidi ki gandi yaala n hani ki cie. Lani n baa teni yin ya hani cain ki naa pia ban baa fidi ki tabi yi leni yaala Kilisiti guacuama daali.

11 Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Yeni yi baa ya tuuni mi teginma tuona yaa ñni Jesu Kilisiti kani lan tua ti kpiagidi leni ti pagidi U Tinu po.

12 Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

N kpiiba, n bua yin bandi line, yaala n den cua npo teni ke o laabaalihamo wangima suagi liiga.

13 So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

Moamoani li doagidi yaa minteela n gu o bado diegu kuli leni nitoaba kuli po ke n lo li kadidieli nni kelima Kilisiti yaapo.

14 And most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give the word of God without fear.

N kado teni ke ti kpiiba boacianla dugi o Diedo po ki cie, ki go paagi bi pala ki wangi U Tienu maama kaa go jie.

15 Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:

Li tie moamoani ke bi siiga tianba wangi Kilisiti laabaalihamo kelima bi pia n po li nunponli ki bua ki cie nni. Ama bi tianba mo li wangi o leni li yantiahanle.

16 These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:

Bine wangi o laabaalihamo kelima bi bua nni ki bani ke n ye ne kelima U Tienu gandi nni ke min maadi ki ga o laabaalihamo ki doagidi ke o tie moamoani.

17 But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

Bine mo wangi o ki bua ki cie nni, bi yatiana naa hani, bi tema ke bi ya tieni yeni li baa pugini n fala li kadidieli nni.

18 What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.

Likuli tie npo yenma. Baa lan tie maama kuli, bi ya wangi o leni mi tuonanma bi ban wangi o leni li yantiamoanli, bi wangi Kilisiti laabaalihamo. N mangi n pali lipo ki go baa mangidi li ki pugidi.

19 For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Kelima n bani ke likuli baa juodi ki tua n tindima yaapo kelima yin jaandi ki miadi npo maama leni Jesu Kilisiti Fuoma todima yaapo.

20 In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

Nani min bua ki go sugini maama tie ke n kan la i fe liba kuli po. Ama nani lan den kpa tie maama, li go tie yene moala. N sugini ke Kilisiti baa ba ti kpiagidi n miali yema nni kuli, li ya tie ke n baa kpe leni n ya baa ye kuli.

21 For to me life is Christ and death is profit.

Kelima mini yaapo Kilisiti tie n miali, mi kuuma mo tie npo ñuadi.

22 But if I go on living in the flesh — if this is the fruit of my work — then I do not see what decision to make.

Ama, li yaa tie ke li hani min tuuni ya tuonli yaapo ke min yaa ye n gbannandi nni mii bani min baa gandi yaala.

23 I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:

Laa bonliedila miabi nni. N bua ki gedi ki ban yaa ye leni Kilisiti, lani n cie npo hali boncianla.

24 Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.

Ama yi mo ya todima po, min ya ye ki fo cie.

25 And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;

N daani ki go bani ke n baa fo ki ye leni yikuli, ke yin fidi ki ya suagi liiga ki go pia li pamanli li dandanli nni.

26 So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

Yeni, n guacuama yikani go baa teni yin baa yaa pamanli n yaba Jesu Kilisiti nni.

27 Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

Lanwani bonyenla tugi li yuli, lani n tie yi tagi n yaa da leni Kilisiti ya laabaalihamo. N ya fidi ki cua yikani ki laa yi, leni n yaa fidi ki cua, min ya gba ke yi se bonhanla ki pia yantiayenli, ki moa o laabaalihamo n cuani ya dandanli ya muali.

28 Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

Yin da cedi yi koaginkaaba n jieni yi baa waamu. Lani n tie bipo seedi ke bi baa bodi, ama li tie yinba yaapo seedi yi tindima yaapo. Laa bonla ñani U Tienu ya kani.

29 Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

Kelima U Tienu n tieni yipo yaa hanbili yeni, laa tie ke yi daani Kilisiti bebe ka, ama yin go ya laadi opo fala moko.

30 Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.

Yi moko taa leni nni ki moa yin den laa ke n moa ya muali ki go gbadi moala ke n baa moa.
