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.
Paulo nu Timoteo itumi ang'wa Kilisto u Yesu, awaniabaguwe mung'wa Kilisto niakiie ku Filipi palung'wi neemili, agozi.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukende utule nunyenye nuupolo nuupumile kung'wi Tunda Tata nuitu nu Bwana witu u Yesu Kilisto.
3 When I think of you I'm so thankful to my God,
Numusongeye Itunda nuane anga numukimbuke unye mehi.
4 and I'm always glad to remember all of you in my prayers,
Kila ilompi lane ayi kunsoko anyu mehi kila nukulompa, ingi nilowa nukumulompela.
5 because you've been partners with me in spreading the good news right from the beginning up till now.
Nkite masongelyo iduu kunsoko apalung'wi wanyu munkani ninza kupumiila luhiku la ng'wandyo sunga nilelo.
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.
Nkete ikulukulu kina nuanso naiwanzilye umulimo nuuza mukatii anyu ukulongolya kuumala sunga uluhiku nulang'wa Bwana u Yesu Kilisto.
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.
Inge uu kung'waane kija ite kung'waanyu mehi kunsoko numuikile munkolo ane. Kuite unye matula meeane muukende mukitungo kane ukuueli nuulagile nuane munkoni ninza.
8 God is my witness as to my great affection for every one of you in the caring love of Christ Jesus.
Itunda mukueli wane, ite nkite insula kunsoko anyu mihi ulowa nuawamukati ang'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
9 My prayer is that your love may grow more and more in knowledge and understanding,
Haki kulompa kina: ulowa wanyu wongeeleke kukiila mahala nuulingi wehi.
10 so that you can work out what's really important. That way you can be genuine and blameless when Christ returns,
Kulompa kunsoko ite mutule nuuhumi nuakugemeelya nukusagula imakani nibahu kukila kuite kumulompeela gwa ite mutule miaza shangaeze mukete kimeli kehi muluhiku iang'wa Kilisto.
11 filled with the fruits of living right that come through Jesus Christ and give glory and praise to God.
Kuitegwa mizuligwe ninkali niyatai niyigeela mung'wa Yesu Kilisto, kuukulu nikolyo lang'wi Tunda.
12 I want you to know, my brothers and sisters, that all I've experienced has worked out to move the good news forward!
Itungile aluna ane, ndoilwe mulinge kina, imakani nakupila kung'wane naitumile nkani ninza ilongoleka ikulu.
13 For everyone—including the whole praetorian guard—now knows that I'm in chains for Christ;
Yiyo ndogoilyo itungo yane mung'wa Kilisto, ulengekile kualindi niakulu ehi nukukila ung'wa muntu gwa.
14 and because of my chains most of the Christians here have been encouraged to speak God's word boldly and fearlessly!
Nialuna iidu mung'wa mukulu, kunsoko atungo yane, ikapeng'wa nukugema nukugema kutanantya kaze agila uwoa.
15 Yes, some speak out of jealousy and rivalry. However, there are those who speak from good motives.
Iauyaao amutanantya itai ukilisto kuumeli nuwilei, niitegwa niangeza kisego niza.
16 They act out of love, because they know that I'm meant to be here to defend the good news.
Awa neemutanatya ukilisto kuulowa alingile kina mbikilwe apa kunsoko akukuila utanantyi.
17 Those others present Christ deceptively because of their selfish ambitions, trying to cause me problems in my imprisonment.
Ingi iidu akumutanatya ukilistokuing'wene kumasego nimabeisiga kina akuletekelya lwago iane mumunyololo ane.
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!
Kululoo? Shangankee, ang'wi inzila ikatula ulugu ang'we tai, ukilisto ukutanantigwa kuite ndoeigwa hangi ndoilwe.
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.
Kunsoko ningile kina ite ikaleta kuluguilwa kung'wane, ikani ile likapumila kunsoko amalompi anyu nakuailya nung'waung'welu Yesu Kilisto.
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.
Kimpyana nuisumbyeli wane nuakulukulu nitai nikina shangakutula niminyala ang'wi ugimya wakwe wehi, anganaiza mahiku nitungele, nsumbiiye kina Ukilisto ukunansulwa mumueli wane, agaitule numupanga ang'wi numushi.
21 As far as I'm concerned, living is for Christ, and dying brings gain.
Kundogoilyo kung'wane unene kikie inge Kilisto nukusha inge nsailo.
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!
Kuite anganikie mumuieli yetuga nkali mumulimo wane, kululo shangaimine nileule nilakosagula.
23 For I'm in a dilemma—I really want to leave and be with Christ, which would be far better,
Ndogoilo nisukung'wa ikulu nimasego aya na mweeli. Nkete nsula akuleka umweli nukutula palung'we nu Kilisto kintu nikiza inge kansailo ikulukulu.
24 and yet to remain physically here is more important as far you're concerned.
Ganiite kuaga mumiile uwu inge lukani lamuhimu ikulukulu kunsoko anyu.
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,
Kunsoko nkete ikulukulu migulya aile, ningile ninikasaga nukulongoleka kutula palung'wi nunyenye mihe kunsoko aunoneli nuwahueli wanyu.
26 so that when I see you again your praise to Christ Jesus may be even greater because of me.
Nilikaleta uulowa wanyu nuukulu mung'wa Kilisto u Yesu kunsoko ane ikigeeleka, aukulu wane palung'wi nunyenye.
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.
Mutakiwe kikie ulikalo lanyu mulugendo nuluza nulutakiwe munkani ninza niang'wa Kilisto, nije kina mimekile ikomu kunkolo ing; wi, muzikilya uhueli nuankani ninza kupalung'wi.
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.
Hangi muleke kutumbwa nikintu kihe nulukutendwa nianya ulugu anyu ila kitalanyu ingi kilingasiilyo kaugunwa kupuma kung'wa Itunda.
29 For you have been given the privilege not only of trusting in Jesus, but suffering for him as well.
Kundogoilyo unyenye mikeigwe kunsoko ang'wa Kilisto, shangakumuhuela du, ila ganukigigwa ganung'wenso.
30 You're experiencing the same struggle you saw me having—a struggle I still have, as you now know.
Kundogilyo mukete winyomi wuwowuwoo anga numuihangile kitalane hangi migule nukete ga milelo.
