Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
Pauli ni Timoti, bhatumishi bha Kristu Yesu, kwa bhala bhatengibhu mwa kristu bhabhitema Filipi, pamonga ni bhabhiyangilila ni mashemasi.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
Neema na j'hiyelayi kwa muenga ni amani j'hayih'omela kwa K'yara dadiyetu ni Bwana bhitu Yesu kristu.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you;
Nikammbombesya K'yara bhengu kila pa nikabhak'homb'hoka muenga mwebhoha.
4 in all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy,
Mara syoha kila liombi lyangu kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga mwebhoha, huwa nikobhoka panikabhas'omela.
5 because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now,
Niyele ni shukrani limehele kwandabha j'ha ushirika bhw'henu muinjili kuh'omela ligono lya lya kubhwandelu mpaka lelu.
6 being certain of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the Day of Jesus Christ;
Niyele nibhuhakika kuj'ha muene j'haoyandisi lihengu linofu mugati mwa muenga ibeyendelela kuj'hikamilisya mpaka ligono lya Bwana YesuKristu.
7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel you all are partakers with me of the Grace.
Ni sawa kwa nene kujip'heleka naha nalabha j'hamuenga mwabhoha kwa nakbha mmbabhakhili mun'teema bhwangu. Kwandabha muenga muyele bhashirika bhayinu mwa neema mukifungu kyangu ni mu utetezi ni bhuthibitishaji bhwangu bhwa injili.
8 God is my witness how I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
K'yara ndo shahidi ghwa nene, ndabha kyaniyele ni shauku ndabha j'ha muenga mwebhoha mu ugati ghwa pendo lya Yesu kristu.
9 This is what I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more in real knowledge and full discernment,
Na nis'oma kuj'ha: lugano lwinu bhuyongesekai zaidi ni zaidi mu maarifa ni luhala lwoha.
10 for you to identify the things that really matter; that you may be sincere and blameless until the Day of Christ,
Nis'oma kwandabha j'ha e'le muyelai kinofu ni bhuwezo bhwa kup'hema ni kuchagula mambo ghaghayele kinofu sana. Pia nikihabhas'omela ili muyelai kinofu bila kuj'ha nihatia j'hoj'hioha y'hela muligono lya Kristu.
11 having been filled with the fruits of righteousness that are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Na pia ili mmemesibhwaya ni litunda lya haki lyalipatikana mwa Yesu Kristu, kwa bhutukufu ni sifa j'ha K'yara.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the events against me have actually turned out for the advancement of the Gospel:
Henu bhalongobhangu, nilonda mmanyayi kuj'ha mambo ghaghah'omili kwa nene ghaghaifwanjili injili iyendelelayi sana.
13 as a result, it has become evident to the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that I am in chains for Christ;
Ndo maana fifungu fyangu mu Kristu, fimanyik'hene kwa bhalinzi bha ikulu iyoha ni kwa k'hila munu pia.
14 also, most of the brothers in Sovereign have been influenced by my chains to be much bolder, to speak the Word fearlessly.
Ni bhalongo bhingi mu Bhwana kwandabha j'ha fifungu fyanene bhashawishiki nikuthubutu kulihubiri lilobhi bila khutila.
15 To be sure, some are even preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will;
Bhamana kuweli hata bhikhanta ngasya Kristu kwa fitina ningondo, na pia bhamana kwa nia yinofu.
16 the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to add to my affliction while in chains,
Bhala bhabhakantangasya Kristu kwa lugano bhamanyili kuj'ha nibhekhibhu apanai kwa ndabha j'ha kuitetela injili.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am set here for the defense of the Gospel.
Bali bhangi bhikantangasya Kristu, kwa bhubinafsi ni kwa nia yibaya. Bhidhanila kuj'ha bhisababisya matatizo kwa nene muminyororo ghyangu.
18 No problem: in every way, be it in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice—yes, and will rejoice.
Henu? nijali lepi aidha nj'hela iyelai ni kwa hilarious au kwa bhukweli, Kristu itangasibhwa ni mu e'le nihobhok'hela! Ndo, nibekuhobhokila.
19 You see, I know that this will turn out for my deliverance (through your supplication and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)
kwa kuj'ha nimanyili e'le libekutokula kubhopolibhwa kwa nene. like Jambo e'le libekutokula kwandabha j'ha maombi ghinu ni kwa msaada bhwa Roho j'ha yes Kristu.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that I will not be put to shame in anything but be truly bold, so that now as always Christ will be glorified in my person, whether by life or by death
kul'hengana ni matajio ghangu ghabhuhakika ni ibhukweli ni kwamba, nibebhona lepisoni. Badala yiake, kwabhujasiri bhuoha, Kama ambavyo magono ghoha ni henu, nitarajila kuj'ha Kristu ibekuyinulibhwa mu mb'hele bhwangu, ikayelaye mu bhusima au mu kafwelelu.
21 —to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
kwa maana kwanene kuishi ni Kristu na kufwa ni faida.
22 Now if I am to live on in the flesh it will mean fruitful labor for me, so I do not know what to choose.
lakini Kama kutama mu m'mb'hele wihogola litunda mu lihengu lyangu, kwahenu nd'hesi l'el'eku lya kuchagula.
23 I am torn between the two: I have the desire to depart and be with Christ (far better),
Maana nisukumibhwa sana ni mawazo agha mab'hele. Niye ni hamu j'ha kuleka m'mb'hele ni kuj'ha pamonja ni Kristu, k'henu ambakyo ni kya thamani sanasana.
24 but to remain in the flesh is more necessary, because of you.
Ingawa, kubakila mu m'mb'hele obho nik'henu kya mhimu sana kwa ndabha j'ha muenga.
25 So having been persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
kwa kuj'ha niyele ni bhuhakika kwa ndabha j'ha e'le nimanyili nibhebakila nikuj'hendelela kuj'ha pamonja namu mwe bhoha, kwa ndabha j'ha maendeleo ni furaha j'ha muenga.
26 so that your rejoicing over me may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, through my coming to you again.
Na e'le libeleta furaha j'ha muenga ibhaha mwa kristu Yesu, kwa ndabha j'ha kuj'ha kwa nene yibekuyongeseka, kwa ndabha kuj'ha kwa nene kabhele pamonja namu.
27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or am absent, I may hear about you that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together for the faith of the Gospel with one soul,
Mwilondeka kutama maisha gha muenga mu mwenendo unofu ghwaghukayilonda injili j'lia Kristu. Mkhetayi mebhu ili nikahialayi kubhalanga au nikabelayi kuhiola, nip'helekai kuj'ha my'emili kinofu mu Roho yimonga. Natamani kup'eleka kuj'ha myele ni Roho yimonga, mkayikhomanela imani j'ha injili kwa pamonga.
28 and not being intimidated in any way by your opponents: to them this is an indicator of ruin, but to you of deliverance, and that from God.
msitisibhu ni k'henu kyokyok'hula kyakifwanyibhwa ni maadui bha muenga. Ey'e kwa bhene n'do ishara j'ha uharibifu. Bali kwa muenga n'do ishara j'ha bhwokovu kuh'oma kwa K'yara. kwa maana muenga mpelibhu kwa
29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe into Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
ndabha j'ha Kristu, sio kumwamini tu, bali ni kutesibhwa pia kwa muene.
30 having the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear to be in me.
kwa maana muye ni ngondo y'elay'ela Kama kyamkayibhwene kwa nenga na mwip'eleka kuj'ha niyenabhu hata h'enu.
