< Philippians 1 >

1 Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and servants:
Polo ayi Timote, bisadi bi Yesu Klisto, bafidisidi nkanda kuidi banlongo boso mu Klisto Yesu badi ku Filipi ayi kuidi mintuadisi mi dibundu va kimosi ayi bisadi.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bibedi kuidi Nzambi, Dise dieto, ayi Pfumuꞌeto Yesu Klisto bibanga yeno.
3 I give thanks to my God on all the remembrance of you,
Minu ndieti vutula matondo kuidi Nzambi ama mu mambu moso momo ndieti kulutebukilanga moyo.
4 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,
Ndieti sambila mu diambu dieno beno boso mu kadika diluaku ayimu khini ndieti buvangila mu kadika thangu;
5 for your contribution to the good news from the first day until now,
mu diambu di kithuadi ki luidi mu longa Nsamu Wumboti tona mu lumbu kitheti nate mu lumbu kiaki.
6 having been confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you, will complete [it] until [the] day of Jesus Christ,
Mu bila kioki ndidi diana dikuikama ti mutu wowo wutona kisalu kimboti mu beno wela kimanisa nate mu lumbu ki Yesu Klisto.
7 according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defense and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.
Didi difuana kuidi minu mu ba mayindu ma phila yoyi mu diambu dienobeno boso bila ndikulunatanga mu ntimꞌama; buba bu ndiba wukanga ayi bu ndinuanina Nsamu Wumboti ayi bu ndikuwukindisanga, beno luba yama mu kithuadi mu nlemvo wu nditambula.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all with [the] yearnings of Jesus Christ,
Nzambi niandi mbangiꞌama: mu phila ndieti kuluzodila beno boso mu luzolo lu Klisto Yesu.
9 and this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge, and all discernment,
Tala diambu ndieti luta lombanga mu zitsambulu ziama: luzolo lueno lubuelama mu tezo kiviatukidi ayi luba diela ayi tsudukulu yimboti mu mamoso.
10 for your proving the things that differ, that you may be pure and offenseless—to [the] Day of Christ,
Buna luela tula mu tezo kisuasisila mambu malutidi kitoko. Buawu boboluela ba bavedila, bakambulu tsembolo nate mu lumbu ki Klisto
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
bu luela ba bawala mu mavanga masonga madi mu Yesu Klisto mu diambu di nkembo ayi nzitusu wu Nzambi.
12 And I intend you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me, rather have come to an advancement of the good news,
Zikhomba, thidi luzaba ti mambu momo ndibuilulu maluta sadisa mu tembikisa nsamu Wumboti.
13 so that my bonds have become evident in Christ in the whole Praetorium, and to all the other places,
Bila divula dioso ayi batu boso bankaka, bazebi buabu ti mu nloko ndidi mu diambu ndieti sadila Klisto.
14 and the greater part of the brothers in the LORD, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold to fearlessly speak the word.
Buela diaka, bakhomba bawombo, bu batula diana mu Pfumu mu diambu di zisieni ziama, baluta baka bufula bu yolukila mambu ma Nzambi mu kibakala ayi mu kambu boma.
15 Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through goodwill, preach the Christ;
Bukiedika ti bankaka balembo longi Klisto mu diambu di kikheneneayi mu diambu di beti findisanga ziphaka. Muaki bankaka balembo longilanga wawu mu mayindu mamboti.
16 one, indeed, of rivalry proclaims the Christ, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,
Batu baba balembo bu vangila mu luzolo bu bazebi ti minu ndivanu kisalu ki vavila Nsamu Wumboti.
17 and the other out of love, having known that I am set for defense of the good news:
Vayi bobo bankaka, mu ziphaka kaka beti longila Nsamu Wumboti wu Klisto. Mayindu mawu masi ko mamboti. Batidi buela kumbonisa phasi mu ntima bu ndidi mu zisieni.
18 what then? In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed—and I rejoice in this, indeed, and will rejoice.
Buna buevi e? Muaki balongila mu luvunu voti mu kiedika, minundilembo moni khini bila Klisto wulembo longo. Ayi ndiela luta mona khini
19 For I have known that this will turn out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,
bila nzebi ti phulusu ama yawu tsukulu yi mambu mama, bu nzebi ti beno lulembo sambila mu diambu diama ayi Pheve yi Yesu Klistoyilembo tsadisa.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be ashamed in nothing, and in all freedom, as always, also Christ will now be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
Bila diambu diodi ndilembo vingila ayi diodi tsididi dianadiwombo diawu diadi: ndilendi fuisu tsoni mu diambu dimosi ko. Buba buabu voti mu zithangu zioso, mu diambu di diana diama dingolo, bu nzebiti Klisto wela kemboso mu nituꞌama bu ndidi moyo voti bu mfuidi.
21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
Bila kuidi minu, Klisto niandi luzingu luama bosi lufua luidi ndandu yinneni.
22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what will I choose? I do not know;
Vayi enati mfueti zinga mu nsuni, diodi mfunu didi mu sala diakakisalu ki Pfumu. Buna buabu ndikadi buela zaba diambu mbi mfueti sobula.
23 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
Buabu mambu muadi malembo mfietikisa: thidi vika kuenda ayi kala va kimosi ayi Klisto, bila diawu dilutidi mboti;
24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
vayi didi diambu di mfunu kuidi beno minu ndizinga mu nsuni.
25 and being persuaded of this, I have known that I will remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
Bu ndidi diana diodi, nzebi ti ndiela zinga ayi ndiela vuandayeno beno boso mu diambu luenda ku ntuala ayi mu diambu di khini yi minu kieno;
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.
muingi luluta kukiniemisa mu Klisto mu diambu diama bu ndiela vutuka kuidi beno.
27 Only conduct yourselves worthily of the good news of the Christ, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
Vayi bika ludiatila kaka mu khadulu yifueni mu diambu di Nsamu wu Klisto muingi buba ti ndizidi voti ndilumona, voti ndikambu kuiza, ndiwa ti beno luidi lutelama mu Pheve yimosi kaka ayi lunnuana mudiela dimosi mu diambu di minu ki Nsamu Wumboti,
28 and not be terrified in anything by those opposing, which is indeed a token of destruction to them, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
mu kambu monoso tsisi kuidi bambeni zieno. Kioki kidi dimbu kikubamonisa ti bela bungu vayi kuidi beno kidi dimbu ki phulusu eno. Mamoso momo kuidi Nzambi maba.
29 because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on behalf of Him;
Bila balumona kiadi, mu diambu di Klisto, bika sia ti mu diambu di kunwilukila kaka, vayi, ayi mu mona ziphasi mu diambu diandi;
30 having the same conflict, such as you saw in me, and now hear of in me.
mu nduanunu yi mvita yimosi banga yoyi lumona ndinuana ayi luzebi ti ndikidi nuani nate buabu.
