Philippians 1

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

Bulu mba Timoti igran Yesu, hi bi wa ba ziba ni mi Yesu wa ba he ni Filibi ni biwa ba nji coci ni dikinoni.

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

Ndu zizi he ni yi ni' si Irji tiembu nda tie Bacimbu Yesu Kristi

3 I give thanks to my God, with every remembrance of you,

Mi ngri ni Rji ni nton wa' mi tamre mbia.

4 always, in all my prayers, making supplication for all of you with joy,

Ko ni tanyi wami tie bre Irji ni yiwu, mi tie bre ni ngryi.

5 because of your communion in the Gospel of Christ, from the first day even until now.

Mi ngryi yi wu wa bi wu ta ni to du Rji ni fin umumum'e har ye zizan.

6 I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.

Mi kpa nyme ni kpi biyi wawu, wawu wa ati tun ndinti ni mi bi arji kle du nra bi ni ye ivri Rji.

7 So then, it is right for me to feel this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, and because, in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.

Abi na kyi wa mi wo itre ndindi ni tun bi bi he ni sroun mu. Bi yi wawu bi gpo gba mu ni mi dun Rji ni tre ma.

8 For God is my witness how, within the heart of Jesus Christ, I long for all of you.

Rji ton sroun mu wa mi hewu niyi ni son wu Kristi ye ni yi

9 And this I pray: that your charity may abound more and more, with knowledge and with all understanding,

Mi bra ni yi wu dei son bi ndi kwuci ni tre Rji.

10 so that you may be confirmed in what is better, in order that you may be sincere and without offense on the day of Christ:

In bremu niyiwu dei tsre ndidi ni kon wa abi. Mi bre niyiwu ndi yi tsre gye gyer meni kon Rji.

11 filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, in the glory and praise of God.

Wayi akiyi di Rji ni srendinbi wa Yesu ni nun wa inde Rji ni bi.

12 Now, brothers, I want you to know that the things concerning me happened for the advancement of the Gospel,

I mri vayi mi son duyi ton ikpi mba sisre dun ha'ni tre Rji.

13 in such a way that my chains have become manifest in Christ in every place of judgment and in all other such places.

Don tre Rji iya si kpa biwa mba sre ni kon Yesu.

14 And many from among the brothers in the Lord, becoming confident through my chains, are now much bolder in speaking the Word of God without fear.

Imri vayi gbugbu mba kri gbangban wa mba to me nimi sara, nda kri gban gban ni zan mba handa tre tre Rji

15 Certainly, some do so even because of envy and contention; and others, too, do so because of a good will to preach Christ.

Mba ri mba tre tre Rji ni mi fu ni son sroun, mbari ni sroun ndiki.

16 Some act out of charity, knowing that I have been appointed for the defense of the Gospel.

Bi tre tre Rji ni sroun ndindi mbato mba zi me nde me kle du tre Rji.

17 But others, out of contention, announce Christ insincerely, claiming that their difficulties lift them up to my chains.

Mbari mba tre tre Rji dun son tun, ni sroun meme, ni impre mba ndi mba zitrenya ni mi yan.

18 But what does it matter? As long as, by every means, whether under pretext or in truthfulness, Christ is announced. And about this, I rejoice, and moreover, I will continue to rejoice.

Ni kon meme, kon ni meme bi tre tre Yesu, me gri, ra zizan me ngryi.

19 For I know that this will bring me to salvation, through your prayers and under the ministration of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Ni kon yi mi gbukbun ni sara. wa ni he wa bi bra nimu, ni zo Ruhu Yesu Kristi.

20 by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. Instead, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

A bra mu ni son mu, mi na sha sha nan ni sroun mu wawu, Yesu son ni sroun mu kon mi ni ri kon kwu.

21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Ndi me he ni re a Kristi, ndi mi kwu a kwuci.

22 And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.

Wa mi tsre ni kpa wa zo me wu tre Rji me ma to wa me huna.

23 For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,

Ha ri mba ba mba mre mu Mremu ndi bri wirji yi ndi he ni Almasihu wa yi ni fin.

24 but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.

Tsre mu ni kpa alele ni yiwu.

25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and that I shall continue to remain with all of you, for your advancement and for your joy in the faith,

Mi to wa yi alele ani ha na kiyi, wa mi he niyi, ni tse sroun bi, ni mi sroun bi.

26 so that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, through my return to you again.

Yagan bi ni mi Almasihu Kristi a ni gji kwui do kba ye ni yi.

27 Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.

Tsre gyegyer ni kon Rji, ko mi ye komina ye na mi ku wo bi kyi gbegba ni mi enbru ndidi. me gri ndu mi wo ndi bisi tsre gyegyer ni kon Rji.

28 And in nothing be terrified by the adversaries. For what is to them an occasion of perdition, is to you an occasion of salvation, and this is from God.

Na klu sistri biwa mbana son yina. ni mba wu a kwu ni tawu a kon ndurh ma wayi rji ni Rji.

29 For this has been given to you on behalf of Christ, not only so that you may believe in him, but even so that you may suffer with him,

Mba te didi niwu dun Almasihu ana kpa Almasihu megen na, bi sha ya men.

30 engaging in the same struggle, of a kind which you also have seen in me, and which you now have heard from me.

Bizi shaya iri mu wa bi zi to, wa bi zi wo sha yan.
