Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers 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 to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Misaotra an’ Andriamanitro amin’ ny fahatsiarovako anareo
4 always in every prayer of mine for all of you, making my requests with joy,
mandrakariva aho amin’ ny fivavahako rehetra ho anareo rehetra, ka mangataka amin’ ny fifaliana,
5 for your partnership in the Good News from the first day until now;
noho ny firaisanareo hampandroso ny filazantsara hatramin’ ny andro voalohany ka mandraka ankehitriny;
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
ary matoky indrindra aho fa Izay nanomboka asa tsara ao anatinareo no hahatanteraka izany mandra-pihavin’ ny andron’ i Jesosy Kristy;
7 It is even right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of 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 witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Fa Andriamanitra no vavolombeloko fa manina anareo rehetra indrindra aho amin’ ny famindram-pon’ i Kristy Jesosy.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
Ary izao no angatahiko, dia ny mbola hitomboan’ ny fitiavanareo bebe kokoa amin’ ny fahalalana tsara sy ny fahafantarana rehetra,
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be pure and blameless for 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 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory 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 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
Ary tiako ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa izay zavatra nanjo ahy dia efa tonga fampandrosoana ny filazantsara kosa;
13 so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
ka ao amin’ i Kristy ny fifatorako dia fantatry ny mpiambina andriana rehetra mbamin’ ny olona hafa rehetra;
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word without fear.
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 indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Fialonana sy fifandirana aza no itorian’ ny sasany an’ i Kristy, ary fifaliana kosa ny an’ ny sasany;
16 The latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
fitiavana ny an’ ny sasany, satria fantany fa voatendry ho mpanafa-tsiny ny filazantsara aho;
17 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains.
fifampiandaniana kosa no itorian’ ny sasany an’ i Kristy, fa tsy mba fo madio, ka mihevitra hanampy fahoriana ny fifatorako.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether out of false motives or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
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 know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your petition and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Fa fantatro fa ho tonga famonjena ahy izany noho ny fangatahanareo sy ny fanomezana ny Fanahin’ i Jesosy Kristy,
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether 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 to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Fa Kristy no anton’ ny ahavelomako, ary ny fahafatesana no hahazoako tombony.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I do not make known what I will choose.
Kanefa raha ny ho velona amin’ ny nofo no hahavokaran’ ny asako, dia tsy hitako izay hofidiko;
23 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
fa sanganehana eo anelanelan’ izy roroa aho, maniry hiala ka ho ao amin’ i Kristy, satria tsara lavitra izany;
24 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
kanefa kosa ny hitoetra eo amin’ ny nofo no mahasoa anareo kokoa.
25 And since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the 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 your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
mba hitombo noho ny ataoko ny firavoravoanareo ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy amin’ ny hankanesako atỳ aminareo indray.
27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
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 frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from 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 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
Fa ianareo efa nomena noho ny an’ i Kristy, tsy ny hino Azy ihany, fa ny hiharam-pahoriana koa noho ny aminy,
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
dia manana izany ady izany ianareo, izay hitanareo teo amiko sady mbola renareo fa ato amiko ihany ankehitriny.
