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;
Pauro naTimoti, varanda vaKristu Jesu, kuvatsvene vose muna Kristu Jesu vari paFiripi, pamwe chete navatariri navadhikoni vekereke:
2 grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu ngazvive kwamuri.
3 I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzose pandinokurangarirai.
4 constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,
Muminyengetero yangu yose nokuda kwenyu mose, ndinogara ndichinyengetera nomufaro
5 because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;
nokuda kwokubata pamwe kwenyu muvhangeri kubvira pazuva rokutanga kusvikira zvino,
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:
ndichiziva izvi, kuti iye akatanga basa rakanaka mamuri acharipedzisa kusvikira pazuva raKristu Jesu.
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.
Zvakanaka kwandiri kuti ndifunge saizvozvo pamusoro penyu mose, sezvo ndinemi mumwoyo; nokuti kunyange ndakasungwa nengetani kana kuti ndichidzivirira nokusimbisa vhangeri, imi mose munogovana neni munyasha dzaMwari.
8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.
Mwari anogona kupupura kuti ndinokufungai sei imi mose norudo rwaKristu Jesu.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,
Uye uyu ndiwo munyengetero wangu: kuti rudo rwenyu ruwande uye muwanze kuziva nokunzwisisa,
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,
kuitira kuti mugogona kunzwisisa kuti zvakaisvonaka ndezvipi uye muve vakachena uye mushayiwe chamungapomerwa kusvikira pazuva raKristu,
11 being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
muzere nechibereko chokururama chinouya kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, kuti kubwinya nokurumbidzwa zvive kuna Mwari.
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,
Zvino ndinoda kuti muzive, hama dzangu, kuti zvakaitika kwandiri zvakabatsira zvikuru kufambisa vhangeri.
13 so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;
Nokuda kwaizvozvo, zvava pachena kuvarindi vomuzinda wamambo nokuna vose kuti ndiri mungetani nokuda kwaKristu.
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.
Nokuda kwengetani dzangu, hama zhinji muna She dzakakurudzirwa kuti vataure shoko raMwari vakashinga zvikuru uye vasingatyi.
15 Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.
Ichokwadi kuti vamwe vanoparidza Kristu negodo uye negakava, asi vamwe nenzira yakanaka.
16 These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;
Vamwe vanoita izvozvo murudo, vachiziva kuti ndakaiswa muno nokuda kwokudzivirira vhangeri.
17 but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
Vamwe vaiparidza Kristu nomwoyo woruchiva, vasina kutendeka, vachifungidzira kuti vangandimutsira dambudziko ndichiri mungetani.
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;
Asi zvisinei hazvo, chinhu chinokosha ndechokuti munzira dzose, dzingava ndangariro dzenhema kana dzechokwadi, Kristu ari kuparidzwa hake. Uye nokuda kwaizvozvi ndinofara. Hongu, uye ndicharamba ndichifara,
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;
nokuti ndinoziva kuti kubudikidza neminyengetero yenyu uye norubatsiro runopiwa noMweya waJesu Kristu, zvakaitika kwandiri zvichashanduka zvikava kusunungurwa kwangu.
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.
Ndinoshuva zvikuru nokutarira kuti handingazonyadziswi, asi ndichava nokushinga kwakakwana kuitira kuti zvino senguva dzose Kristu achakudzwa mumuviri wangu, muupenyu kana murufu.
21 For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
Nokuti kwandiri, kurarama ndiKristu uye kufa kupfuma.
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.
Kana ndikaramba ndichirarama mumuviri, izvi zvichareva kubata kune zvibereko kwandiri. Asi ndichasarudzeiko? Handizivi!
23 But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
Ndiri pakati pezvinhu zviviri zvinoti: Ndinoda kuenda kuti ndive naKristu, zvinova ndizvo zviri nani nokupfuuridza;
24 but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;
asi zvinokoshawo zvikuru kwamuri kuti ndirambe ndiri mumuviri uyu.
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;
Ndichitenda chinhu ichi, ndinoziva kuti ndichagara, uye ndicharamba ndinemi mose kuti mupfuurire mberi uye mufare mukutenda kwenyu,
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.
kuitira kuti ndichinge ndadzoka kwamuri zvakare, mufaro wenyu muna Kristu Jesu ugozadziswa nokuda kwangu.
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;
Zvisinei kuti chii chaitika kwandiri, murambe muchifamba nenzira yakafanira vhangeri raKristu. Ipapo, kunyange ndikauya kuzokuonai kana kunzwa nezvenyu ndisipo hangu, ndichaziva kuti mumire nesimba mumweya mumwe, muchirwa somunhu mumwe nokuda kwokutenda kwevhangeri,
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;
musingatyiswi nenzira ipi zvayo neavo vanopikisana nemi. Ichi ndicho chiratidzo kwavari kuti vachaparadzwa, uye kuti imi muchaponeswa naMwari.
29 because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
Nokuti makapiwa imi, nokuda kwaKristu, kuti musangotenda kwaari bedzi, asi kuti mutambudzike nokuda kwake,
30 having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.
sezvo muri mukurwa kumwe chete uku kwamakandiona ndinako, uye kwamunoziva zvino kuti ndichinako.
