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.
Njame Paulo ne Timoti basha ba Yesu Klistu. Tulalembelenga bantu bonse ba Lesa bali ku Filipi abo bekatana muli Yesu Klistu kubikapo ne batangunishi ne beshikunyamfwilisha bonse ba mubungano uyo.
2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neco Lesa Bata ne Mwami Yesu Klistu amupe kwina moyo ne lumuno.
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
Nkute kulumba Lesa wakame cindi ciliconse ndamwanukanga
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
Pacindi ciliconse ndamupaililanga, nkute kumupailila mwakukondwa.
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
Ndelela kumulumba pakwinga kufuma kumatatikilo mpaka lelo, mulanyamfwa kumwaya Mulumbe Wayina.
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.
Neco ndashoma kwambeti mulimo wayina uyo Lesa ngwalatatiki muli njamwe, mpaka nakaupwililishe pa Busuba bwakubwela kwa Yesu Klistu.
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.
Lyonse nkute kumuyeya mumoyo mwakame. Neco celela kwambeti nyumfwe mushoboyu pacebo cenu, pakwinga mulaba nenjame mu colwe Lesa ncalampa kutatikila pacindi mpondanga wasunguluka kushikila cino cindi mpondi mujele kwambeti Mulumbe Wayina ube wayuminishiwa kayi ne kutabilila.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Lesa ekamboni wakame kwambeti nicakubinga ndimusuni ne moyo wakame wonse kupitila mulusuno lwa Yesu Klistu mwine.
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
Mupailo wakame niwakwambeti lusuno lwenu lukulenga cindi conse pamo ne lwinshibo lwakunyumfwishisha,
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
kwambeti mucikonshe kusala bintu byaina, lino nimukabe baswepa kayi balulama pa Busuba bwakubwela kwa Yesu Klistu.
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Bwikalo bwenu nibube bwalulama bweshi bubonekenga kupitila mukunyamfwilishiwa ne Yesu Klistu kwambeti bantu bonse balumbaishe ne kulemeka Lesa.
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:
Ndayandanga kwambeti mobanse bame, mwinshibeti bintu bilanjinshikili bilanyamfwilishi kumwaya Mulumbe Waina.
13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
Pacebo ici bashilikali bonse beshikulangilila ng'anda ya mwami, ne bantu nabambi balenshibi kwambeti ame ndi mujele pacebo cakuba musebenshi wa Yesu Klistu.
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.
Neco kuba mu jele kwakame kulabayuminishi banse bangi bashoma Klistu, kukambaukunga Mulumbe Waina kwakubula buyowa.
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
Mpobali bantu nabambi balakambaukunga Mulumbe Waina pacebo cakwambeti bakute minyono kayi nibantu beshikuyandowa mambaulwa, nomba mpobali nabambi balenshinga mulimo uyu munshila yaina.
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Aba balenshinga mulimo uyu mulusuno, pakwinga bacinshi kwambeti Lesa walampa mulimo wakukwabilila Mulumbe Waina.
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
Nabambi nkabalakambaukunga Klistu mushila yalulama, nsombi kufuma mukuliyanda kwabo. Pakwinga bakute kuyeyeti nibambikilepo byeshikubaba pacindi mpondi mujele.
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.
Kuliyawa mulandu! na balakambaukunga Yesu munshila shapusana pusana, nambi iba nshila yaina nambi yaipa. Lino ame nimbenganga wakondwa,
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,
pakwinga ndicinsheti kupitila mumipailo yenu ne lunyamfo lwa Mushimu Uswepa wa Yesu Klistu ame ninkasungululwe.
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.
Neco kuyandishisha ne lushomo lwakame nikwambeti nteshi ngalilwe mulimo wakame, kwambeti Yesu alemekwe lino, ne cindi conse, nambi cibeti mfwa, nambi mba muyumi.
21 For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
Pakwinga kulinjame kuba ne buyumi ni kusebensela Yesu, kayi na mfwa ni pindu.
22 And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
Nomba na ndapitilishi kuba ne buyumi ngacimpa colwe cakusebensa mulimo wela kusumpula ncito, nkandicinshi na ngansalapo cipeyo.
23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
Lino ndaba pamampambanya anshila shibili, moyo naumbi ulandanga kwambeti nshiye buyumi bwapacishi capanshi kuya akuba ne Klistu, pakwinga ici ecintu cainapo pali byonse.
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
Nomba pacebo cenu caina kwambeti mbe ne buyumi.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
Kwakutatonshanya ndashoma kwambeti nimbe ne buyumi kayi nekupitilisha kuba nenjamwe mwense kwambeti nyamfwilishe kukulisha lushomo lwenu kayi mwakukondwa.
26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
Kwambeti pacindi ncoshi nkese kulinjamwe mukabe ne cebo cakutwanga muli Yesu Klistu mubuyumi bwenu.
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.
Cinene nikwambeti bwikalo bwenu bube mbuli Mulumbe Waina ncolambanga sha Klistu. Nambi mba pepi nenjamwe, nambi mba patali, ndayandanga kunyumfwa kwambeti mwemana cakushimpa ne moyo umo. Kayi ndayandanga kunyumfwa kwambeti mulanyamfwananga ne kunyumfwana pakulwana nkondo yakukwabilila lushomo lulafumunga mu Mulumbe Waina.
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:
Kamutasuminisha balwani benu kwambeti bamuyoshenga pa cintu ciliconse, neco kamuliyuminishani kwambeti benshibeti nibakonongeke kayi amwe nimukapuluke, pakwinga Lesa endiye weshakamulwanine.
29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
Pakwinga mulapewa colwe cakusebensela Yesu klistu, kayi kutambeti kushoma Yesu Klistu enkowa sobwe, nsombi nekupita mubintu byeshikubaba pacebo cakendi.
30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
Nenjamwe mulalwananga inkondo yopeleyo njomwalambona kandwana. Endiyo njondicilwana ne lino mbuli ncomulanyumfunga.
