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.
Nene Pauli na Timoti vatumisi va Yesu Kilisitu. Tikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga mwemuvi ku Filipi mwemuwungini na Kilisitu Yesu, pamonga na vachilongosi na vatangatila va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu Yesu.
2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
Lukumbi lwoha nikumsengusa Chapanga penikuvakumbuka.
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
Lukumbi lwoha penikuvayupila mwavoha kwa Chapanga ndi nikuvayupila kwa luheku,
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
ndava ya kuwungana na nene mulihengu la kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina kuhumila kutumbula hati lelu.
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.
Hinu nimanya chakaka kuvya Chapanga mweatumbwili lihengu lenili labwina mumitima yinu, yati ayiyendeleza mbaka mu ligono lila la kubwela kavili Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Ndi chabwina nene kuvaholalela nyenye ndava nyenye muvi mugati ya mutima wangu. Ndava muni mwavoha nyenye muhanganila na nene muubwina weatipeli Chapanga mukukokosa na kulikengelela Lilovi la Bwina, hinu penivili mchifungu na kutumbula penalekekiswi.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Chapanga amanyili kuvya nijova chakaka pala penijova muuganu kwa mtima wangu woha, kwa uganu wewihuma kwa Kilisitu Yesu.
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
Nikumuyupa Chapanga uganu winu uyonjokesa neju na neju pamonga na kuumanya uchakaka na luhala lwoha,
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
muhotola kuhagula lijambu lelivi labwina neju. Penapo ndi yati mwivya vabwina changali uhakau wowoha pa ligono la kuwuya Kilisitu.
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Wumi winu yati wimemeswa mambu gala geakugagana Chapanga mujila ya Kilisitu Yesu ndu ndava ya ukulu wa Chapanga na muni vandu vamtopesa na kumulumba Chapanga.
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:
Valongo vangu, nigana mmanya kuvya mambu goha geganikolili gatangatili neju kudandasa Lilovi la Bwina.
13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
Ndava ya genago valonda voha va nyumba ya nkosi pamonga na vangi voha penapa vimanya kuvya nivii muchifungu ndava nene nikumhengela Kilisitu.
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.
Ndava ya kukungiwa muchifungu ndi kuvakitili valongo vamahele vahotola kuyima cha kusindimala kwa sadika kwa Bambu, hati vahotola kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga changali wogohi.
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
Chakaka vandu vangi vakumkokosa Kilisitu ndava vana wihu na luhonda, nambu vangi vakokosa Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu kwa mtima wabwina na kugana kuvatangatila vandu.
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Vandu ava vihenga naha kwa mtima wa uganu muni vamanyili kuvya Chapanga anipeli lihengu lenili la kuyikengelela Lilovi la Bwina.
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
Nambu vangi vala vakulikokosa Lilovi la Kilisitu kwa mhutanu nambu lepi kwa mtima wa bwina. Viholalela mukukita genago vakuniyonjokesela mang'ahiso gangu muchifungu.
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.
Hinu chindu lepi! Nene niheka ngati vandu vakumkokosa Kilisitu kwa kila njila, yivya kwa mtima wabwina amala kwa mtima uhakau, kavili yati niyendelela kuheka.
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,
Ndi nimanyili kuvya chamukuniyupila na mu njila ya utangatila wa Mpungu wa Yesu Kilisitu, goha geganikolili nene yati nihuma muchifungu.
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.
Nihuvalila kwa mnogo uvaha na kuhuvalila ndi kuvya katu yati nikola lepi soni kwa kuleka kuhenga gegiganikiwa ndava ya Yesu Kilisitu. Ngati chanahengili kadeni. Na hinu nisadika wumi wangu yati ukumpela utopesa Kilisitu nivya mumi amala nifwili.
21 For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
Kwa nene kuvya mumi ndi kumuhengela Kilisitu hati kufwa ndi chindu chabwina neju kwangu.
22 And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
Nambu ngati mukutama yati nihotola kuhenga lihengu la kuvatangatila vandu vangi. Hinu nimanyili lepi? Nihagula loki!
23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
Nihutwa kuni na kuni mambu aga gavili. Ninogela kuuleka mulima uwu muni nihambayi kutama pamonga na Kilisitu, lijambu lelivii labwina neju,
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
nambu chabwina neju kwinu nyenye ngati niyendalili kutama.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
Namwene nimanyili chakaka kuvya yati niyendelela kutama na nyenye voha muni muvatangatila muusadika na muvya na luheku musadika yeniyo,
26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
Hinu penivya na nyenye kavili, yati mwivya na chindu cha kumekela neju ndava yangu muwumi wa kuwungana na Kilisitu 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.
Hinu, lijambu leliganikiwa ndi kuvya matendu ginu gavyai ngati cheligana Lilovi la Bwina la Kilisitu muni ngati nihotwili kuwuya kwinu amala nakuhotola, muni nipata kuyuwana kuvya musindimili kuyima muvi mtima umonga na mtovana ngondo kwa mtima umonga. Ndava ya kuyikengelela sadika yeyiletwa na Lilovi la Bwina.
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:
Mkotoka kuvayogopa vamakoko vinu, nambu mvya vakekesi magono goha, na yeniyo yikuvalangisa kuvya vene yati vihoto lepi, nambu nyenye mukuvahotola muni Chapanga mwene ndi mweakuvapela uhotola.
29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
Muni nyenye mudinduliwi mlyangu wa kumhengela Kilisitu lepi kumsadika ndu, nambu mewa mukung'aiswa ndava ya mwene.
30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
Hinu mwihotola kuvya pamonga na nene mukutovana ngondo. Ngondo yeniyi ndi yila yemwalolili yanatovana kadeni pala nakona nitovana hinu ngati chemwiyuwana.
