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:
Paoly sy Timoty, mpanompon’ i Kristy Jesosy, mamangy ny olona masìna rehetra ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy mbamin’ ny mpitandrina sy ny diakona izay any Filipy;
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
3 I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie,
Misaotra an’ Andriamanitro amin’ ny fahatsiarovako anareo
4 (Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse)
mandrakariva aho amin’ ny fivavahako rehetra ho anareo rehetra, ka mangataka amin’ ny fifaliana,
5 Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe.
noho ny firaisanareo hampandroso ny filazantsara hatramin’ ny andro voalohany ka mandraka ankehitriny;
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,
ary matoky indrindra aho fa Izay nanomboka asa tsara ao anatinareo no hahatanteraka izany mandra-pihavin’ ny andron’ i Jesosy Kristy;
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.
fa marina izany fiheverako anareo rehetra izany, satria efa mby ato am-poko ianareo, fa mpiombona ny fahasoavana ananako ianareo rehetra, na amin’ ny fifatorako, na amin’ ny famaliako hahafa-tsiny ny filazantsara sy ny fampianarako hahamafy orina azy.
8 For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.
Fa Andriamanitra no vavolombeloko fa manina anareo rehetra indrindra aho amin’ ny famindram-pon’ i Kristy Jesosy.
9 And this I pray, that your loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement,
Ary izao no angatahiko, dia ny mbola hitomboan’ ny fitiavanareo bebe kokoa amin’ ny fahalalana tsara sy ny fahafantarana rehetra,
10 That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ,
mba hamantaranareo izay zavatra tsara indrindra, mba ho madio am-po ary tsy hanan-tsiny ho amin’ ny andron’ i Kristy ianareo,
11 Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God.
sady feno ny vokatry ny fahamarinana, izay avy amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy, ho voninahitra sy fiderana an’ Andriamanitra.
12 I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell,
Ary tiako ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa izay zavatra nanjo ahy dia efa tonga fampandrosoana ny filazantsara kosa;
13 So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places,
ka ao amin’ i Kristy ny fifatorako dia fantatry ny mpiambina andriana rehetra mbamin’ ny olona hafa rehetra;
14 In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word.
ary ny ankabiazan’ ny rahalahy dia efa matoky ao amin’ ny Tompo noho ny fifatorako ka mihasahisahy kokoa hitory ny tenin’ Andriamanitra tsy amin’ ny tahotra.
15 Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will.
Fialonana sy fifandirana aza no itorian’ ny sasany an’ i Kristy, ary fifaliana kosa ny an’ ny sasany;
16 The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes.
fitiavana ny an’ ny sasany, satria fantany fa voatendry ho mpanafa-tsiny ny filazantsara aho;
17 But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell.
fifampiandaniana kosa no itorian’ ny sasany an’ i Kristy, fa tsy mba fo madio, ka mihevitra hanampy fahoriana ny fifatorako.
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.
Ahoana ary no izy, afa-tsy izao? Amin’ ny atao rehetra, na amin’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihy, na amin’ ny marina, dia Kristy no torina, ary mifaly amin’ izany aho; eny, mbola hifaly ihany aho.
19 For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,
Fa fantatro fa ho tonga famonjena ahy izany noho ny fangatahanareo sy ny fanomezana ny Fanahin’ i Jesosy Kristy,
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.
araka ny hafatratry ny faniriako sy ny fanantenako fa tsy hahazo henatra aho, na amin’ inona na amin’ inona; fa amin’ ny fahasahiana rehetra, tahaka ny amin’ ny mandrakariva, dia ankehitriny koa no hankalazana an’ i Kristy ao amin’ ny tenako, na amin’ ny fiainana, na amin’ ny fahafatesana.
21 For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage.
Fa Kristy no anton’ ny ahavelomako, ary ny fahafatesana no hahazoako tombony.
22 And whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not.
Kanefa raha ny ho velona amin’ ny nofo no hahavokaran’ ny asako, dia tsy hitako izay hofidiko;
23 For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.
fa sanganehana eo anelanelan’ izy roroa aho, maniry hiala ka ho ao amin’ i Kristy, satria tsara lavitra izany;
24 Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull for you.
kanefa kosa ny hitoetra eo amin’ ny nofo no mahasoa anareo kokoa.
25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith,
Ary satria matoky izany aho, dia fantatro fa hitoetra sy haharitra eo aminareo rehetra aho hahazoanareo fandrosoana sy fifaliana amin’ ny finoanareo,
26 That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe.
mba hitombo noho ny ataoko ny firavoravoanareo ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy amin’ ny hankanesako atỳ aminareo indray.
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.
Fa hany ataoko: aoka ny fitondran-tenanareo ho miendrika ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy, mba handrenesako ny toetrareo (na ho tonga aho ka hahita anareo, na tsy ho tonga), fa maharitra amin’ ny fanahy iray ianareo ka miray fo hiara-miezaka hampandroso ny finoana ny filazantsara,
28 And in nothing feare your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of saluation, and that of God.
ka tsy ho azon’ ny fahavalo ampitahorina ianareo na amin’ inona na amin’ inona; fa amin’ ireo dia mariky ny fahaverezana izany, nefa mariky ny famonjena anareo kosa, sady avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
29 For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,
Fa ianareo efa nomena noho ny an’ i Kristy, tsy ny hino Azy ihany, fa ny hiharam-pahoriana koa noho ny aminy,
30 Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare to be in me.
dia manana izany ady izany ianareo, izay hitanareo teo amiko sady mbola renareo fa ato amiko ihany ankehitriny.
