Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
Une che Paolo pamo ni che Timoseo, ŵakutumichila ŵa Kilisito Yesu, tukunnembela ŵanyamwe, ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu wose ŵankutama ku Filipi ŵanlumbikene ni Kilisito Yesu, pamo ni achakulu ni achikamusi ŵa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tukummendela umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu.
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu katema kose pangunkumbuchila.
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
Katema kose pangumpopelela ŵanyamwe wose, ngupopela njisengwaga,
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
kwa yankuti kamulangana ni une, pa masengo ga kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone, chitandile lyuŵa lyaandanda lila mpaka lelo jino.
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
Isyene ngumanyilila kuti Akunnungu juŵagatandisye masengo gambone ga mmitima mwenu, chagajendelechesye mpaka pachigamalile pa lyuŵa lya kuuja Kilisito Yesu lila.
7 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
Nguŵajilwa kuganisya kwanti nyi nkati ŵanyamwe, ligongo ngunkumbuchila katema kose. Pakuŵa mwakamulene none pa umbone ula umbegwilwe ni Akunnungu wa kujichenjela ni kujilimbisya Ngani Jambone katema panaliji mu chitaŵiko ni panaliji nechelelwe.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Akunnungu ali jwaumboni jwangu kuti ngusala isyene kuti ngunnonyela ŵanyamwe kwa ntima wangu wose, kwa unonyelo ulaula wa Kilisito Yesu.
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
Ngwapopelela Akunnungu kuti unonyelo wenu ujonjecheke kukula nnopennope ni nkole lunda ni umanyilisi,
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
kuti nkombole kusagula indu yaili yambone. Sooni mitima jenu jiwoneche jeswela, ŵangali magambo mpaka lyuŵa lya kuuja Kilisito lila.
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Utame wenu tiugumbaswe ipanganyo yambone paujo pa Akunnungu yaikutyochela kwa Kilisito Yesu pe, kwa ligongo lya ukulu ni ulape wa Akunnungu.
12 Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:
Achalongo achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile kuti, iyasimene yangamwisye kwannope kwenesya Ngani Jambone.
13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
Kwa ligongo lyo ŵakulindilila wose ŵa nyuumba ja mwenye, pamo ni ŵane wose, akumanyilila kuti ndili mchitaŵiko, ligongo ngwatumichila Kilisito.
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Kutaŵikwa kwangu kwatesile achalongo ŵajinji ŵaŵankulupilile Ambuje kuchalila kwannope mu kulalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu pangali lipamba.
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
Isyene, ŵampepe mwa ŵandu wo akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito kwa wiu ni umenyani, nambo ŵandu ŵane akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito kwa ntima wambone wa kwakamuchisya ŵandu.
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Ŵandu ŵa ntima wambone akulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ntima wa unonyelo, akumanyilila kuti Akunnungu ambele masengo ga, gakujichenjela Ngani Jambone.
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
Ŵandu ŵane wo akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito kwa ntima wangalumbana ni ngaŵa kwa ntima wambone. Ŵanyawo akuganichisya kuti tanyonjechesye kulaga nkutaŵikwa kwangu.
18 But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Ngaŵa chindu kwangu une! Une ngusengwa iŵaga ŵandu akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito mwamulimose, atamuno kwa ntima wambone pane kwa ntima wangalumbana. Sooni tinyendelechele kusengwa,
19 For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti kwakupopela kwenu ni kwa ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Che Yesu Kilisito chingulupuswe kutyochela nkutaŵikwa.
20 According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.
Chingusaka ni chingulolela, ninajaluche kwa kuleka kupanganya ingusachilwa kupanganya. Nambo ngamuliswe ntima moŵa gose nnopennope sambano, kuti nankusye Kilisito mu utame mu chiilu changu, iŵaga ndili jwanjumi pane ndili wile.
21 For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
Pakuŵa kwa uneji kutama kuli kwatumichila Kilisito ni kuwa kuli kwambone nnope.
22 And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
Nambo iŵaga kwendelechela kutama chingombole kupanganya masengo kwa kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵane, pelepo nganguchimanyilila chakusagula.
23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
Ndili pamalekano, ngusaka kutyoka mu chilambo chino nyaule kutama ni Kilisito pakuŵa chelecho chili chindu chambone kupunda,
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
nambo chili chindu chambone nnope kwa ligongo lya ŵanyamwe najendelechelaga kutama.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
None ngumanyilila kuti chindame. Ni chinyendelechele kutama ni ŵanyamwe wose kuti nyendelechele kunkamuchisya mchikulupi ni kukola lukondwa.
26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
Nipele pachinjiŵa sooni ni ŵanyamwe chinkole ligongo lya kupunda kulifunila nkati une mu utame wenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
27 Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
Nipele, chachikusachilwa utame wenu uŵe wakuŵajilana ni Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito, kuti atamuno naikaga pane iŵaga ngangwika, mbilikane kuti nkwima chiimile ni kwa ntima umo, ni wose kwa pamo nchichichenjelaga chikulupi chachikwika ni Ngani Jambone.
28 And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:
Ngasimwajogopa kose ŵammagongo ŵenu, katema kose muukamulisye ntima. Chelechi chichiŵe chimanyisyo chisyene kwa ŵanyawo kuti chajonasiche, nambo ŵanyamwe chimpunde pakuŵa ukulupusyo ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ampele ŵanyamwe lipesa lya kwatumichila Kilisito, ngaŵa kwa kukulupilila pe, nambo ni kwakulagaswa kwa ligongo lyao.
30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
Sambano nkukamulana none pa ngondo. Ngondo jijojo jimwaweni njimenyanaga kalakala mpaka sambano ndili kungondo mpela inkuti pakupilikana.
