Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Pawulu a Timoti, ibabelesi ba Kkilisito Jesu, ibabelekela bantu ba Leza basalala muli Jesu Kkilisito ibali ku Filipi, abeendelezi bapati abadikoni.
2 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Iluzyalo alumuno luzwa kuli Leza taata wesu a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito alube kulindinywe.
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Ndilumba Leza wangu chindi choonse nindimuyeeya.
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
Lyoonse, munkombyo zyangu zyonse nzindimuchitila, nkekkomba mukubotelwa
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
nkambo kakujatisyania andinywe ijwi kuzwa kubuzuba butaanzi kuzosika lino.
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
Ndilakkutisika anchiicho chintu echi, chakuli oyo iwakatalika mulimo mubotu mulindinywe uyoyinkilila kunembo akuchita kuti akawumane ado kubuzuba bwa Jesu Kkilisito.
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
Chilikabotu kuti ndilimvwe kabotu atala andinywe nkambo muli mumoyo wangu. Moonse mwalijisini andime chaluzyalo nikuba mukujalilwa muntolongo akububotu bwangu amukusisikizigwa kwajwi.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Nkambo Leza ngukkamboni wangu, mukumuyandisya kwangu moonse alwetelelo lwa Kkilisito Jesu.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment;
Aboobo njeyi inkombyo yangu: Kuti luyando lwanu lukomene mubwiingi lyoonse muluzibo akumvwisisisya koonse
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
kuchitila kuti mubotye eecho chibotu kwindilila, alimwi mukuti mube aabwini akutaba amulandu mane busike buzuba bwa Kkilisito,
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
nkamuzwide muchelo wabululami ooyo uuza kubulemu akutembawulwa kwa Leza kwindila muli Jesu Kkilisito.
12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
Lino ndiyanda kuti muzibe, nobakwesu, kuti ezi zyakachitika kulindime zyagwasya loko kukunyampula kwendelela kwajwi.
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [places];
Nkaambo kaako inketani zyangu muli Kkilisito zyaboneka kuli basikulinda muunzi wa Mwami akubantu boonse.
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Ibakwesu biingi bajana kumvwisisisya muMwami akambo kanketani zyangu, alimwi baba abukozu bwakwambula ijwi kabatayoowi.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
Nchonzyo bamwi bakonzya kukambawuka Kkilisito chakutangalilana abulwani na, alimwi bamwi bachita amoyo mubotu.
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Ibamusule bachita aluyando, mukuziba kubi ndabikwa aano kuti ndikwabilile ijwi.
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Pesi ibakayinda bakambawuka Kkilisito amizeezo yakulipa, pepe mubwini. Bayeeya kuti balandiinda mpuwo aawo nenchisungidwe.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Ani niinzi lino? Ado kuti munzila zyoonse nikuba zyajungwe lyakubeja kana lyakasimpe - Kkilisito uli kukkambawukwa, alimwi eezi zilandibotezya. Iyii, alimwi ndiyobotelwa,
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
nkambo ndilizi kuti eezi ziyondipa kwangununwa kwinda munkoombyo zyenu alugwasyo lwa Muuya wa Jesu Kkilisito.
20 According to my earnest expectation and [my] hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether [it be] by life, or by death.
Kuzumana kwabulangizi alusyomo lwangu kuti taakwe mbundiyooba amawuse pesi ndiyoba aanguzu, lino mbuli kuti lyoonse, Kkilisito uyomemezegwa mumubili wangu, nikuba mukupona kana kulufu.
21 For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
Nkambo kuti ndiponede ngu Kkilisito alimwi kufwa nimpindu.
22 But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Pesi aanoli kwali kuti ndipona munyama, eechi chaamba mulimu uzyala michelo kuli ndime. Pesi ndilasala chili? Nsichizi pe.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Nkambo ndilimanikizigwe azintu zibili. Ikupeekezya kwangu nkuti ndizwe ndikabe aa Kkilisito, kachili nchechintu chibotu loko,
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.
Pesi kupona munyama mukubona kachili chintu chipati kuli ndinywe.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
Mukukkutisika acheechi, ndilizi kuti ndiyochala akwinkilila kunembo andinywe, kuchitila kuzwidilila akubotelwa kwenu mulusyomo.
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
Kuchitila kuti muli ndime mukajane twaambo twingi tutakamupe kupakala muli Kkilisito Jesu aawo ndakuubola lubo kulindinywe.
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Inywe amulyendelezye biyomunzila iyendelana aajwi lya Kkilisito, kuchitila kuti ndaboola kuzomubona kana tendabola, ndikonzye kumvwa aatala andinywe, kuti muliimvwi njii mumuuya omwe, amuzeezo oomwe wakufundumanina lusyomo lyajwi kali antoomwe.
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
Tamukongwi nikuba muli iili inzila abaabo mbimu suleene aabo. Eechi nchikozyanisyo kuli mbabo ichaamba kumwayika kwabo, pesi kuli ndinywe ndufutuko - alimwi luzwa kuli Leza.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Nkaambo lwakapegwa biyo kuli ndinywe akambo ka Kkilisito kutali kuti biyo musyome mulinguwe, pesi akuti mumufwabile,
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.
kamuli ensandulo lukazyanio ndumwakabona mulindime, alimwi lino mulalumvwa muli ndime.
