Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;
Iswe ba Paulusi ni Timutea, bahikana ba Jesu Keresite, kwabana bonse babakungulwa cha Jesu Keresite bekele kwa Filipi, ni bakulwana ni madikoni.
2 grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Chisemo chibe nanwe ni kozo izwa kwa Ireeza Ishetu ni Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite.
3 I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,
Nilitumela kwa Mulimu wangu munimihupwila monse.
4 constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,
Inako ni nako mutapelo zangu zonse kwenu, cabuitumela heti nitenda itapelo zangu.
5 because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;
Nileta buitumelo kutumelo yenu kwinzwi la Mulimu kuzwa luzuba lwetanzi mane kusika hanu.
6 having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:
Nizumina kwechinu chitutenda, mukuti iye yotanga musebezi mulotu kwenu kazwile habusu kumaniniza kutenda zilotu kukasika izuba la Jesu Keresite.
7 as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.
Kulotu kwangu kulizuwa munilizuwila ibaka lenu mubonse kakuli mwina kunkulo yangu. Inwe mubonse mubalikani bangu chamusa hanina mumawenge ni mukusileleza ni kukonzeleza inzwi la Ireeza.
8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.
Initi Ireeza nji paki yangu, muninyolezwi kumibona mubonse mubutungi bwelato la Jesu Keresite.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,
Mi itapelo yangu njeyi: kuti ilato lenu nilinjihe chabungi ni kwinjiha chabungi luli muzibo ni kutwisiso yonse.
10 that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,
Kanimilapelela kokuti nimusole ni kusala zintu zilukite chakumaniniza. Kanimilapelele kokuti nimube ni inkulo injolola ni isena mafosisa kuya kwizuba la Keresite.
11 being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
Kakube bulyo mukuti kamube mwizwile zichelantu zichenete ziza cha Jesu Keresite, mwikanya ni kubabazwa kwa Ireeza.
12 But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,
Linu nisaka kuti mwizibe, bakwangu, kuti zintu zibatendahali hewulu lyangu zibaletisi kuti iivangeli ihasane chokuhwela.
13 so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;
Chendabayobulyo, kuba mumawenge kwangu cha Keresite kubezibahali mucibaka chisilelezwe ni kumwi konse,
14 and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.
mi bungi bwabakwangu mwizina la Simwine babakukuwezwa hahulu ibaka lakuba mumawenge kwangu kakuwamba inzwi ninisena lyowa mi ninilukuluhite.
15 Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.
Ikumbya bamwi mane babezibahazi za Keresite chamuna ni kulikataza, imi bamwi chakusuni bulyo.
16 These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;
Bana bezibahaza Jesu chakusuna kwabo bezi kuti nibabikwa munu chakuzimanina inwzi la Ireeza.
17 but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
Kono bamwi bezibahaza za Keresite chabuñwanyama ni mihupulo isena chisemo. Bahupula kuti baniletela bukaabo mumawange angu.
18 What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;
Linu chibileza chi? Iwola kuba inzila ihi ne ihi, iwola kuba chakuchenga kapa cheniti, Keresite wizibahazwa, imi cheyi indava ninyakalala! Eni kaninyakalale.
19 for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
Mukuti niizi kuti iyi indava ileta kuti nilukululwe. Ichi kachitendahale bulyo chebaka le tapelo zenu ni tuso ya Luhuho Lunjolola lwa Jesu Keresite.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.
Ziyendelela chakuya chetibelelo yesepo ni buniti buta kuti keti niniswabe. Mukucho, chesusuezo yonse, sina inako yonse mane naho hahanu, nina itibelelo yakuti Keresite kabuse mubuli wangu, kapa kaibe kakuhala kapa chefu.
21 For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
Kwangu kuhala nji Keresite, imi kufwa kufuma.
22 but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
Kono heba kuhala chenyama kuleta zichelantu kuzwililila hamitendo yangu, linu kanti kanizi chiniswanela kusalwa.
23 But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
Kakuli nikatezwe inketo yachiniswanela kuketa hazobele. Nina itakazo yakufunduka kukekala ni Keresite, ili indava initabela hahulu ni kuhitiliza!
24 but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;
Imi hape kushala munyama kuyelele chebaka lyenu.
25 and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;
Mukuti nina isepo kuamana nechi, nizi kuti kanishale ni kuzwila habusu kuba nanwe mubonse, chebaka lakuzwila habusu kwenu ni tabo mutumelo.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.
Chebaka lyobulyo, kulumbeka kwenu kwa Jesu Keresite chebaka lyangu kakwinjihe chebaka lakuba kwangu hape mukati kenu.
27 Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;
Mukwate fela buhalo bwenu chenzila iyelele iñusa la Keresite. Mutende bulyo njo kuti, kakwina indava kapa nikezite kukumibona kapa kanikwina, niwola kuzuwa mumuzimanine chenguzu chaluhuho lumwina. Nitabela kuzuwa kuti mwina ni moozo umwina kulika kukwatisana hamwina chebaka letumelo yeñusa.
28 and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;
Imi musiye kutizwa zintu zonse zichitwa ni zila zenu. Ichi kwabo chisupo chitondeza kusinyeha kwabo. Kono kwenu chisupo chitondeza ipuluso yenu, imi ichi chizwa kwa Ireeza.
29 because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
Mukuti kwenu chichibahewa kale, chebaka la Keresite, isiñi kuzumina fela kwali, kono ni kumunyandila hape.
30 having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.
Mukuti namwe mwina kulilwisa kuswana nokuna kumubaboni kwangu, nokuna kumuzuwa kuti kwina name hanu.
