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 mpe Timote, bawumbu ya Yesu-Klisto; Epai ya basantu nyonso kati na Klisto, oyo bazali na Filipi, elongo na bakambi ya Lingomba mpe badiakona:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
3 I give thanks to my God on all the remembrance of you,
Nazongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe na ngai tango nyonso nakanisaka bino;
4 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,
nasambelaka Nzambe tango nyonso mpo na bino nyonso mpe nasalaka yango na esengo,
5 for your contribution to the good news from the first day until now,
mpo na lisungi na bino kati na mosala ya kopanza Sango Malamu, wuta na mokolo ya liboso kino sik’oyo.
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,
Nandimisami solo ete Ye oyo abandaki mosala kitoko oyo kati na bino akokomisa yango kino na suka, na mokolo ya 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.
Ezali sembo mpo na ngai kozala na makanisi ya lolenge oyo mpo na bino nyonso; solo, nalingaka bino mingi, pamba te bino nyonso bosanganaka makasi elongo na ngai kati na ngolu ya Nzambe, ezala tango nazali ya kokangama na minyololo kati na boloko to tango nazali kolobela mpe kotatola Sango Malamu na molende.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all with [the] yearnings of Jesus Christ,
Nzambe azali Motatoli na ngai ete nalingaka bino nyonso makasi, na bolingo ya Yesu-Klisto.
9 and this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge, and all discernment,
Mpe nasengaka kati na mabondeli na ngai ete bolingo na bino ekoba kokola tango nyonso kati na boyebi ya solo mpe na bososoli ya kokoka,
10 for your proving the things that differ, that you may be pure and offenseless—to [the] Day of Christ,
mpo ete bokoka kososola makambo oyo eleki malamu. Na bongo, bokozala peto mpe bokozanga pamela mpo na mokolo ya Klisto,
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
bokotonda na mbuma ya bosembo oyo ewutaka na Yesu-Klisto, mpo na nkembo mpe lokumu ya Nzambe.
12 And I intend you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me, rather have come to an advancement of the good news,
Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba ete makambo oyo ekomeli ngai esali penza ete Sango Malamu ekende liboso.
13 so that my bonds have become evident in Christ in the whole Praetorium, and to all the other places,
Boye, bakengeli nyonso ya ndako ya mokonzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali awa bayebi ete nazali kati na boloko mpo na 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.
Mpe lisusu, kozala na ngai kati na boloko epesi na bandeko mingi kati na Nkolo molende ya kotia elikya kati na Nkolo mpe ya koteya Liloba na Nzambe, na mpiko mpe na bozangi bobangi.
15 Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through goodwill, preach the Christ;
Ezali solo ete bamoko bazali kosakola Klisto mpo na zuwa mpe kowelana na ngai, kasi bamosusu bazali kosala yango na makanisi ya malamu:
16 one, indeed, of rivalry proclaims the Christ, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,
bazali kosala na bolingo mpo bayebi ete ezali mpo na kotatola mpo na Sango Malamu nde ngai nazali awa.
17 and the other out of love, having known that I am set for defense of the good news:
Kasi mpo na ba-oyo bazali kosakola Klisto mpo na posa ya kowelana, makanisi na bango ezali ya malamu te: bazali kokanisa ndenge nini bakoki kobakisa pasi na ngai, na tango oyo nazali na pasi lokola mokangami kati na boloko.
18 what then? In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed—and I rejoice in this, indeed, and will rejoice.
Ezala bongo to bongo te, eloko ya motuya ezali ete Klisto azali kosakolama, na lolenge nyonso, ezala na makanisi ya mabe to na bosolo; mpe ngai nazali kosepela mpo na yango. Kutu, nakokoba kosepela mpo na yango.
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,
Nayebi solo ete, na nzela ya mabondeli na bino mpe ya lisungi ya Molimo ya Yesu-Klisto, makambo oyo ekomeli ngai ekosuka na kokangolama na ngai.
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,
Eloko nazali kozela makasi mpe kolikya na motema na ngai mobimba ezali ete nayokisama soni te ata na likambo moko, kasi Klisto akumisama kati na nzoto na ngai, sik’oyo mpe tango nyonso, na elikya nyonso, ezala na nzela ya bomoi na ngai to na nzela ya kufa na ngai.
21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
Mpo na ngai, kosalela Klisto, yango nde tina ya bomoi na ngai; mpe kokufa ezali litomba.
22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what will I choose? I do not know;
Nzokande, soki kokoba na ngai kobika kati na mokili ekopesaka ngai nzela ya kobota bambuma ebele ya malamu na nzela ya mosala na ngai, nayebi te nini nasengeli kopona.
23 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
Makambo mibale ezali kobenda ngai ngambo na ngambo: na ngambo moko, kokufa mpo na kozala elongo na Klisto, pamba te yango nde eleki malamu;
24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
na ngambo mosusu, kowumela kati na nzoto, pamba te yango nde eleki na tina likolo na bino.
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,
Lokola nandimisami na yango, nayebi malamu ete nakowumela mpe nakokoba kozala kati na bino nyonso, mpo na kosunga ete bokola mpe bosepela kati na kondima.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.
Boye, tango nakozala lisusu elongo na bino, lolendo na bino kati na Yesu-Klisto ekobakisama lisusu mpo na ngai.
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,
Kasi botambola na lolenge oyo ebongi liboso ya Sango Malamu ya Klisto mpo ete, ezala nayei kotala bino to nayei te, nayoka sango ete botelemi ngwi mpe bosangani lokola moto moko, bozali kobunda elongo, na motema moko, mpo na kobatela kondima oyo Sango Malamu ememelaki bino,
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;
na kolenga te liboso ya banguna na bino. Mpo na bango, ezali elembo ya libebi; kasi mpo na bino, ezali elembo ya lobiko, mpe ewutaka na Nzambe.
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;
Mpo na oyo etali Klisto, Nzambe apesaki bino ngolu kaka te ya kondimela Ye, kasi ngolu mpe ya konyokwama mpo na Ye,
30 having the same conflict, such as you saw in me, and now hear of in me.
pamba te bozali nde kobunda etumba ya lolenge moko na oyo bomonaki ngai kobunda mpe oyo bozali koyoka ete nazali lisusu kobunda sik’oyo.
