Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, together with the bishops and deacons:
Ma sel Paul ac Timothy, mwet kulansap lun Christ Jesus — Nu sin mwet nukewa lun God in church Philippi su asruoki nu sin Christ Jesus, wi pac mwet kol lun church ac mwet kasru lalos:
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr, ac Leum Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
Nga sang kulo nu sin God luk pacl nukewa ma nga nunku keiwos;
4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy
ac pacl nukewa nga pre keiwos nga pre wi engan,
5 on account of your fellowship in the cause of the gospel from the first day until now;
ke sripen kasreyuk su kowos oru nu sik ke orekma lun Wosasu ke mutawauk me nwe misenge.
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;
Nga etu suwohs lah God, su mutawauk orekma wo se inge in kowos, El ac fah tafwela nwe ke safla ke Len lun Christ Jesus.
7 even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, all of you being sharers of the grace bestowed on me.
Kowos oan in nunak luk pacl nukewa! Ke ma inge fal nga in pulakin ouinge in nunak luk keiwos. Tuh kowos nukewa wiyu ipeis ke mwe insewowo su God El ase nu sik, in pacl se inge ke nga muta in presin, oayapa ke pacl nga tuh sukosok ac nga topuk kas nukewa lun mwet su lain Wosasu, ac nga tuh orekma in akkeye lulalfongi lun mwet kac tuh in oakwuki ku insialos.
8 For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the tender affection of Christ Jesus.
God El etu lah nga kas na pwaye ke nga fahk mu lungse luk keiwos nukewa tuku liki insien Christ Jesus sifacna.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;
Nga pre tuh lungse su oan in kowos in yokyokelik in pacl e nukewa, tuh etauk lowos in pwaye ac nununku lowos in suwohs,
10 so that ye may approve the things that are most excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence against the day of Christ,
ac kowos fah ku in akilen ma su arulana wo. Na kowos fah nasnas ac wangin mwatuwos ke Len lun Christ.
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Moul lowos ac fah sessesla ke ouiya wowo su Jesus Christ mukena ku in ase, nu ke wolana ac mwe kaksak nu sin God.
12 But I wish you to know, brethren, that things with me have resulted in the furtherance of the gospel;
Mwet lili, nga ke kowos in etu lah ma su sikyak nu sik uh arulana kasru yokyokelik lun Wosasu.
13 so that my bonds have become known in connection with Christ in the whole camp of the imperial guards, and to all the rest;
Ke sripa se inge mwet mweun su karingin lohm sin Tokosra Fulat ac mwet nukewa yenu elos etu lah nga muta in kapir mweyen nga mwet kulansap lun Christ.
14 and that the great part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Ac muta luk in presin uh oru tuh mwet pus wiasr in lulalfongi, yokelik finsrak lalos in Leum, na pacl nukewa elos pulaik in fahkak pweng wo sac ac tia sangeng.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will.
Pwaye lah oasr kutu mwet fahkak Christ mweyen elos sok ac folkas, a kutu fahkulak ke inse na pwaye.
16 but they who are of a factious spirit preach Christ with no pure intent, thinking to stir up affliction to my bonds.
Elos inge oru ke lungse pwaye lalos, mweyen elos etu lah God El ase tuh in ma kunuk in akfahsrye Wosasu.
17 They who are of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;
Mwet saya uh tiana fahkak Christ ke inse pwaye, a ke ngunin nunku kac sifacna. Elos nunku mu elos ac akyokyelik ma upa nu sik ke nga muta in kapir.
18 What then? Notwithstanding, in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and therein do I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.
Mansis in ouinge! Nga engan kac. Ma sefanna ma yohk sripa uh pa mwet uh in fahkulak Christ ke kutena ouiya ma ku in lutiyuk kac, finne ma ke nunak wo ku ke nunak koluk. Nga srakna insewowo,
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
mweyen nga etu lah ke sripen pre lowos, ac ke sripen kasru su tuku sin Ngun lun Jesus Christ, ac fah aksukosokyeyuk nga.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so also now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
Ma se nga kena ac yohk finsrak luk nu kac oemeet pa nga in tiana fuhleak in oru ma kunuk, a nga in sessesla ke pulaik in pacl nukewa, yohkna nu ke pacl se inge, tuh moul luk nufon in mwe akfulatye Christ, nga finne moul, ku misa.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Tuh mea kalmen moul uh? Nu sik, kalmac pa in kulansupu Christ. Ac misa, mwe akyokyelik ma wo uh.
22 But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;
Nga fin ku in moul paht na, ac srakna ku in oru kutu orekma ma ac oasr sripa, na nga tia etu lah pia kac ma nga ac sulela.
23 but I am held in a strait by the two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; for it is far better;
Nga nikanla inmasrlon ma luo inge. Nga kena yohk tuh nga in som liki moul se inge ac muta yurin Christ, su pa inge ma se ma ac arulana wo nu sik uh.
24 but to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Tusruktu ke sripowos, ac arulana yohk sripa nga in moulwin.
25 And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your advancement and joy in your faith,
Ke sripen arulana kalem sik lah ouinge, nga etu lah nga ac moulna. Nga ac fah wi kowos nukewa in akyokyelik kapkapak lowos ac engan in lulalfongi lowos.
26 that your glorying in me, in the cause of Christ Jesus, may be more abundant by my coming to you again.
Na nga fin sifil fahsrot nu yuruwos, ac fah yohk sripen konkin lowos keik liki meet, ke moul in asruoki lowos yurin Christ Jesus.
27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or remain absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,
Inge ma se ma oa uh pa ouiyen moul lowos in fal nu ke Pweng Wo ke Christ, na nga finne fahsrot nu yuruwos ku tia, nga fah lohng mu kowos tu na ku ke nunak sefanna, ac insese in tukeni kwafeang in orekma ke sripen lulalfongi fal nu ke Wosasu.
28 and in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation; and that from God;
Nik kowos sangeng sin mwet lokoalok lowos; a kowos in pulaik pacl nukewa, ac ma inge ac fah akpwayei nu selos lah elos ac munas, ac kowos fah kutangla, mweyen God pa asot kutangla nu suwos.
29 for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;
Tuh ke sripen kulang lun God, itukot nu suwos tuh kowos in kulansapu Christ, tia ke lulalfongi mukena, a ke kowos ac keok pac kacl.
30 as ye have the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
Inge kowos ku in wiyu mweun. Nuna mweun se na ma kowos liye nga mweuni in pacl meet, ac kowos lohng pac lah nga srakna mweuni.
