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:
Nne a Pauli na a Timoteo, bhatumishi bha a Yeshu Kilishitu, tunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya bhandu bha ukonjelo bha ku Pilipi nnundenenje na a Kilishitu, pamo na ashikalongolele na bhatumishi bha likanisha.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
Nema na ulele ikopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu ibhe na mmanganyanji.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you;
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu kila pungunkumbushilanga.
4 in all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy,
Kila pungunnjujilanga mmowe, ngunajuga kwa angalala,
5 because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now,
kwa ligongo lya nyangutila kwenunji nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, kuumila lyubha lya tandubha lila, mpaka lelo.
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;
Na nne ngunakulupalila kuti a Nnungu bhatandwibhe liengo lya mmbone mmitima jenunji, shibhapunde tenda na maliya mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Nneyo peyo, ngunaapinjikwa kunnganishiyanga mmanganyanji mmowe, pabha munninginji muntima gwangu. Numbe nshinyangutilanga na nkali nnaino ndabhilwe ino, na ata punaaliji nganabhe tabhwa, nnema jibhambele a Nnungu jila, ja bheleketela na kong'ondela Ngani ja Mmbone.
8 God is my witness how I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
A Nnungu ni bhaakong'ondela bhangu, shinguti lokolila kummonanga malinga a Yeshu Kilishitu shibhampinjilenje kwa kaje.
9 This is what I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more in real knowledge and full discernment,
Kujuga kwangu ni akuno, kuti, kupinga kwenunji kupunde jenjesheka kwa kaje nnunda na nnumanyiyo lowe,
10 for you to identify the things that really matter; that you may be sincere and blameless until the Day of Christ,
nkupinga nng'agulanje indu ya mmbone. Penepo shimmanganje na mitima ja mmbone, gwangali gambwa shoshowe mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Kilishitu.
11 having been filled with the fruits of righteousness that are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Akuno nngumbeywenje indu ya mmbone, ishibhampanganje a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene, kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo na iniywa kwa a Nnungu.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the events against me have actually turned out for the advancement of the Gospel:
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, gowe gambatile gala gashinkunyangutila nkujeneya Ngani ja Mmbone.
13 as a result, it has become evident to the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that I am in chains for Christ;
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, bhalinda bhowe na bhandunji bhana bhowe apano bhamumanyinji kuti, kutabhwa kwangu ni kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila a Kilishitu.
14 also, most of the brothers in Sovereign have been influenced by my chains to be much bolder, to speak the Word fearlessly.
Bhai, kwa ligongo lya tabhwa kwangu, kushikwaatendanga ashaalongo ajangunji bhabhagwinji bhaakulupalilanje Bhakulungwa, mpaka nitumbililanga kulunguya ntenga gwa a Nnungu gwangali bhoga.
15 To be sure, some are even preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will;
Kweli, bhananji bhanalunguyanga ngani ja a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya lupimililo na nngomo, ikabheje bhananji kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone.
16 the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to add to my affliction while in chains,
Bhakwetenje ndumbililo ya mmbone, bhanatendanga nneyo kwa ntima gwa pinga, numbe bhamumanyinji kuti njitabhwa, pabha a Nnungu bhashimba liengo lya bheleketela Ngani ja Mmbone.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am set here for the defense of the Gospel.
Ikabhe bhananji bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu kwa nngomo na wala nngabha kwa ntima gwa uguja, bhaliganishiyanga kuti, shibhanyenjesheyanje mboteko nkutabhwa kwangu.
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.
Igala nndi! Nne ngunaangalala ibhaga bhandu bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu momowe mula, ibhe kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone eu yangali ya mmbone. Kwa lyene ligongo lyo nne shing'angalale, na shimbunde kuangalala,
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)
pabha nimumanyi kuti kwa juga kwenunji na kwa jangutilwa naka Mbumu jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, gambatile gala shigapindikushe nibha ntapulo gwangu.
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
Punguganishiya na kulupalila kwangu kuti, ngatokamala nkutenda liengo lyangu, ikabhe shingole makangala mobha gowe, na kaje agano mobha gano, nkupinga kwa nkulama kwangu eu nkuwa kwangu naape a Kilishitu kuishimika.
21 —to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Pabha kwangu nne, kulama ni a Kilishitu na kuwa ni pwaida.
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.
Bhai monaga kwa lama kwangu shingombole tenda liengo likwete pwaida, bhai ng'agule nndi? Nne ngakushimanya!
23 I am torn between the two: I have the desire to depart and be with Christ (far better),
Ngunalongwa indu ibhili, ngunalokolila nijileshe ajino ndamo jino niijendele ngatame na a Kilishitu, pabha lyeneli ni lya mmbone kaje,
24 but to remain in the flesh is more necessary, because of you.
ikabheje nonjeyaga kulama, ni sha mmbone kwenu mmanganyanji.
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 kugamanya genega, nimumanyi kuti shimbunde kulama, nonjeye na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpundanje kwiishimilika na angalala nngulupai.
26 so that your rejoicing over me may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, through my coming to you again.
Bhai shimwipunilanje nne, nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, pushimme na mmanganyanji kabhili.
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,
Bhai shindu shikulungwa, ndamo jenunji jibhe malinga shiipinjikwa na Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Kilishitu, nkupinga ng'ikaga eu ngaishe, mbilikane kuti nnakwiishimilikanga ukoto kwa ntima gumo, na lundana nkukomana ngondo pamo, kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ga Ngani ja Mmbone.
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.
Nnaajogopanje ashaamagongo ajenunji, nkolanje makangala, yeneyo shiibhe shilangulo ukoto, kuti bhanganyanjibho shibhalepelanje na mmanganyanji shinkombolanje, pabha a Nnungu bhayene shibhankomboyanje.
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,
Pabha mmanganyanji nshipegwanga nema ja kwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, nngabha kwa kwaakulupalilape, ikabhe na potekwa kwa ligongo lyabho.
30 having the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear to be in me.
Kwa nneyo nnongananje na nne nkukomana ngondo. Ngondo jinjibhweninji nilikomana, na launo ngunakomana, malinga shinkupilikananga.
