Philippians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all God's people in Christ Jesus living in Philippi, and to the church leaders and assistants.
Bulus da Timoti bayin Almasihu Yesu, zuwa ga dukan wadan da aka kebe cikin Almasihu Yesu da ke a Filibi, tare da masu kula da ikilisiya da dikinoni.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bari alheri ya kasance tare da ku da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da Ubagijinmu Yesu Almasihu.
3 When I think of you I'm so thankful to my God,
Ina godiya ga Allahna duk lokacin da na tuna da ku.
4 and I'm always glad to remember all of you in my prayers,
Ko yaushe cikin addu'a ta dominku duka, da farin ciki na ke addu'a.
5 because you've been partners with me in spreading the good news right from the beginning up till now.
Ina godiya domin tarayyar ku a cikin bishara tun daga rana ta fari har ya zuwa yanzu.
6 I'm absolutely sure that God who began this good work in you will continue working and bring it to a successful conclusion when Jesus Christ returns.
Na tabbata game da wannan abu, shi wanda ya fara aiki mai kyau a cikinku zai ci gaba da shi har ya kai ga kammala zuwa ranar Yesu Almasihu.
7 It's appropriate for me to be thinking this way about all of you because you mean so much to me. Whether I'm in prison or out there making the good news clear, all of you share God's grace together with me.
Daidai ne in ji haka game da dukanku domin kuna zuciya ta. Dukanku abokan tarayya ta ne cikin alherin Allah wajen dauri na da kuma kariyar bishara, da tabbatar da bishara.
8 God is my witness as to my great affection for every one of you in the caring love of Christ Jesus.
Domin Allah mashaidi na ne, a kan yadda ina da marmarin ku duka cikin zurfin kaunar Almasihu Yesu.
9 My prayer is that your love may grow more and more in knowledge and understanding,
Ina yin wannan addu'a: kaunar ku ta habaka gaba gaba a cikin sani da dukan fahimta.
10 so that you can work out what's really important. That way you can be genuine and blameless when Christ returns,
Ina addu'a a kan haka domin ku gwada ku zabi mafifitan abubuwa. Ina addu'a domin ku zama sahihai marasa abin zargi a ranar Almasihu.
11 filled with the fruits of living right that come through Jesus Christ and give glory and praise to God.
Wannan kuma domin a cika ku da 'ya'yan adalci da ake samu ta wurin Yesu Almasihu, zuwa ga daukaka da yabon Allah.
12 I want you to know, my brothers and sisters, that all I've experienced has worked out to move the good news forward!
Yanzu ina so ku sani, 'yan'uwa, cewa al'amuran da suka faru da ni sun zama dalilan cin gaban bishara kwarai da gaske.
13 For everyone—including the whole praetorian guard—now knows that I'm in chains for Christ;
Sakamakon haka, sarkokina cikin Almasihu sun zama sanannu ga dukan sojojin fada da kuma sauran jama'a,
14 and because of my chains most of the Christians here have been encouraged to speak God's word boldly and fearlessly!
har galibin 'yan'uwa cikin Ubangiji suka karfafa kwarai sabili da sarkokina, suka fito a fili suka yi shelar maganar Allah gabagadi.
15 Yes, some speak out of jealousy and rivalry. However, there are those who speak from good motives.
Lalle wadansu suna shelar Almasihu cikin kishi da husuma, wadansu kuwa domin kyakyawar manufa.
16 They act out of love, because they know that I'm meant to be here to defend the good news.
Masu shelar Almasihu domin kauna sun sani cewa an ajiye ni nan domin in kare bishara.
17 Those others present Christ deceptively because of their selfish ambitions, trying to cause me problems in my imprisonment.
Amma wadansu kuwa suna shelar Almasihu saboda sonkai da rashin gaskiya. A zaton su suna wahalar da ni cikin sarkokina.
18 But so what? All I care about is that Christ is presented every which way, whether just pretending or whether from true convictions. That's what makes me happy—and I will go on being happy!
Sai kuma me? Ta kowace hanya, ko da gangan ko da gaske, shelar Almasihu ake yi, ina kuma murna da wannan! I, zan yi murna.
19 Why? Because I'm convinced that through your prayers for me, and through the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, this will turn out to be my salvation.
Domin na sani wannan zai kai ga sanadiyar kubuta ta. Wannan zai faru sabili da addu'ar ku, da kuma taimakon Ruhun Yesu Almasihu.
20 For it's my strongest hope and expectation not to do anything of which I would be ashamed. Instead it's my bold hope, as always, that even now Christ will be greatly honored through me, whether I live or die.
Bisa ga abin da hakikance nake tsammani da tabbaci cewa ba zan kunyata ba. Maimakon haka, da dukan karfin hali kamar kullum, da yanzu kuma, ina da burin kawo daukaka ga Almasihu a cikin jikina. Ina da begen Almasihu ya sami daukaka a cikin jikina ko cikin rayuwa ko cikin mutuwa.
21 As far as I'm concerned, living is for Christ, and dying brings gain.
Domin ni a gare ni rai Almasihu ne, mutuwa kuwa riba ce.
22 But if I'm to go on living here and this would be productive work, then I really don't know what's best to choose!
Amma idan ya zamanto rayuwata cikin jiki za ta kawo amfanin hidima to, ban san wanda zan zaba ba.
23 For I'm in a dilemma—I really want to leave and be with Christ, which would be far better,
Amma dukansu biyu suna jan hankali na. Ina da burin in bar nan in kasance tare da Almasihu, wannan ya fiye mani kwarai!
24 and yet to remain physically here is more important as far you're concerned.
Duk da haka rayuwata cikin jiki wajibi ne sabili da ku.
25 Since I'm absolutely sure of this, I know that I'll stay here, remaining with you all to help you as your trust and delight in God grows,
Tunda shike ina da tabbas a kan wannan, na kuma sani zan rayu, in cigaba da kasancewa da ku duka domin cigaban ku, da farincikin ku, cikin bangaskiya.
26 so that when I see you again your praise to Christ Jesus may be even greater because of me.
Sakamakon haka, takamar ku cikin Almasihu Yesu za ta bunkasa sabili da dawowa ta a gare ku.
27 Just be sure that the way you live your lives corresponds to the good news of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or not I can get to hear how you're doing—that you stand firm in full agreement with one another, spiritually united as you work together for the trusting faith of the good news.
Ku tafiyar da al'amuran ku kamar yadda ya cancanci bisharar Almasihu, ku yi haka domin ko na zo in duba ku, ko bana nan inji yadda kuke tsaye daram cikin ruhu guda. Ina fatan in ji cewa da nufi daya kuke fama tare saboda bangaskiyar nan ta bishara.
28 Don't let your enemies scare you. By being brave you will demonstrate to them that they will be lost, but that God himself will save you.
Kada ku tsorata da kome da magabtanku za su yi. Alama ce a gare su ta hallakar su. Amma ku kuwa alama ce ta ceton ku, wannan kuwa daga Allah ne.
29 For you have been given the privilege not only of trusting in Jesus, but suffering for him as well.
Gama an yi maku alheri, sabo da Almasihu, ba gaskantawa da Almasihu kawai ba, amma har ma shan wuya dominsa.
30 You're experiencing the same struggle you saw me having—a struggle I still have, as you now know.
Kuna da shan wuya irin tawa wanda kuka gani, wanda kun ji nake sha har yanzu.
