Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which are at Philippi, with the Bishops, and Deacons:
Pọl na Timoti, ndị bụ ohu Kraịst Jisọs, Na-edegara unu ndị ụkọchukwu, ndị okenye na ndị nsọ niile nọ nʼụlọ nzukọ Kraịst Jisọs dị nʼobodo Filipai.
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
3 I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie,
Ana m ekele Chineke m ekele mgbe ọbụla m chetara unu.
4 (Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse)
Nʼime arịrịọ niile m na-arịọ ya mgbe niile nʼekpere m nʼihi unu, obi m na-ejupụta nʼọṅụ.
5 Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe.
Nʼihi inyeaka niile unu na-enye, ime ka izisa oziọma na-aga nʼihu ọ bụladị ruo ugbu a.
6 And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus Christ,
Amaara m nʼezie, na onye ahụ malitere ọrụ ọma nʼime unu, ga-aga nʼihu ịrụzu ya ruo ụbọchị Kraịst Jisọs.
7 As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all, because I haue you in remembrance that both in my bands, and in my defence, and confirmation of the Gospell you all were partakers of my grace.
Ọ bụ ihe ziri ezi nʼebe m nọ iche ụdị echiche dị otu a banyere unu niile, nʼihi na unu dị m nʼobi. Ma m nọ nʼagbụ maọbụ na m na-echekwa oziọma, na mgbe m na-eme ka o guzosie ike, unu niile esorola m keta oke nʼamara ahụ.
8 For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.
Chineke bụ onye akaebe m, otu agụụ unu niile si agụsi m ike site nʼịhụnanya nke Kraịst Jisọs.
9 And this I pray, that your loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement,
Nke a bụkwa ekpere m, ka ịhụnanya unu na-ahụrịta onwe unu na-ababiga ụba oke. Ka unu nwee ike ito eto, ruo nʼinwe mmazu na nghọta ihe niile.
10 That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ,
Ka unu nwee ike nwapụta ihe nke kachasị mma. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-adị ọcha nʼenweghị ịta ụta ọbụla maka ụbọchị nke Kraịst.
11 Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God.
Ebe e mejupụtara unu na mkpụrụ nke ezi omume nke sitere na Jisọs Kraịst iji bulie Chineke elu ma nyekwa ya otuto.
12 I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell,
Ugbu a ụmụnna m, nke a bụ ihe m chọrọ ime ka unu ghọta, na nsogbu niile dakwasịrị m emeela ka ọrụ ikwusa oziọma na-aga nʼihu.
13 So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places,
Nʼihi na ọ pụtala ihe nye ndị nche nke ụlọeze ahụ na onye ọbụla ọzọ, na ọ bụ naanị nʼihi na m bụ onye na-eso Kraịst ka e ji tụọ m mkpọrọ.
14 In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word.
Site na mkpọrọ a a tụrụ m, e meela ka ọtụtụ ụmụnna anyị bụrụ ndị nwere ezi ntụkwasị obi nʼime Onyenwe anyị, nwekwa oke nkwuwa okwu, izisa oziọma ahụ na-atụghị egwu ọbụla.
15 Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will.
Ọ bụ eziokwu na ụfọdụ ji ekworo na anya ụfụ na-ekwusa Kraịst, ma ụfọdụ kwa na-ezisa ya site nʼọchịchọ obi ziri ezi.
16 The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes.
Ndị ahụ ji ọchịchọ obi ziri ezi na-eme nke a nʼịhụnanya ebe ha matara na e tinyere m ebe a nʼihi izisa oziọma.
17 But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell.
Ndị mbụ ahụ na-ekwusa Kraịst site nʼọchịchọ obi nke onwe ha, ọ bụghị site nʼezi obi, ebe ha na-eche na ha ga-akpalị nsogbu nye m nʼime mkpọrọ.
18 What then? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye.
Gịnịkwa ka ogbochiri? Otu ọ dị, maọbụ nʼụzọ aghụghọ maọbụ nʼeziokwu, ihe dị mkpa bụ nʼụzọ ọbụla a na-ekwusa oziọma Kraịst, nʼihi nke a ka m na-aṅụrị ọṅụ. E, m ga-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ mgbe niile.
19 For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,
Nʼihi na-amaara m na site nʼekpere unu, ya na ịgbaume nke Mmụọ Jisọs Kraịst ihe ndị a niile dakwasịrị m ga-emesi ghọọrọ m nzọpụta.
20 As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
Nʼihi na olileanya m na ntụkwasị obi m bụ na ihere agaghị eme m nʼụzọ ọbụla, kama, aga m enwe ezi agbamume nke ga-eme ka e bulie Kraịst elu nʼahụ m, ma ugbu a ma mgbe niile, maọbụ na ndụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ nʼọnwụ.
21 For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage.
Nʼihi na nʼebe m nọ, ịdị ndụ bụ Kraịst, ịnwụ ọnwụ bụkwa uru.
22 And whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ịdị ndụ nʼanụ ahụ, nke a buuru m ịrụpụta ọrụ bara uru, enweghị m ike ikwu nke m ga-ahọrọ.
23 For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.
Ụzọ ihe abụọ a na-eche m ihu: Ma ọchịchọ obi m bụ ịlakwuru Kraịst, nʼihi na ọ bụ nke kachasị mma.
24 Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull for you.
Ma ọ pụtara ihe na ọ dị mkpa nye unu ma ọ bụrụ na m adịrị ndụ nʼanụ ahụ.
25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith,
Ebe nke a doro m anya, amara m na mụ na unu niile ga-aga nʼihu ịnọ maka ọganihu na ọṅụ nke unu nʼime okwukwe.
26 That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe.
Ka mgbe m ga-abịakwute unu ọzọ, unu ga-enwebiga ọṅụ oke nʼime Kraịst Jisọs nʼihi m.
27 Onely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of your matters that ye continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel.
Ma nʼọnọdụ ọbụla, na-ebinụ ndụ kwesiri oziọma nke Kraịst, ma abịara m leta unu maọbụ na abịaghị m, ka a mata na unu guzosiri ike nʼotu mmụọ, werekwa otu obi na-agba mgba nʼokwukwe nke ikwusa oziọma,
28 And in nothing feare your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of saluation, and that of God.
na-atụghị ụjọ ihe ndị na-emegide unu ga-eme. Iguzosi ike unu ga-agbara ha ezi ama banyere ịla nʼiyi nke ga-abịakwasị ha. Ma nʼebe unu nọ, ọ ga-abụrụ unu nzọpụta pụtara ihe nke sikwa nʼebe Chineke nọ bịa.
29 For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,
Nʼihi na ohere ahụ e nyere unu, abụghị naanị ikwere na Kraịst, kama ọ bụkwa ịhụ ahụhụ nʼihi ya.
30 Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare to be in me.
Unu nọ na-agabiga ụdị ibu agha ahụ unu hụrụ na m gabigara, nke unu na-anụkwa na m ka nọ nʼime ya ugbu a.
