Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, —unto all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministers: —
Neni Paulu pamuhera na Timotewu wantumintumi wa Kristu Yesu, Twankuwalembera mwenga wananagala yamulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu yamuwera Filipi, pamuhera na wakulu na watanga wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu
2 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
Manemu na ponga ga Mlungu Tati gwetu na ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
3 I am giving thanks unto my God, on occasion of all my remembrance of you,
Nonga mayagashii kwa Mlungu gwangu kila panuwahola mwenga,
4 At all times, in every supplication of mine, in behalf of you all, with joy, my supplication, making, —
na kila panuwaluwira woseri mwenga kwa Mlungu, nankuwaluwira kwa kunemelera,
5 On account of your contribution unto the glad-message, from the first day until the present:
toziya ntambu yamuntangiti mulihengu lya Shisoweru Shiwagira kwanjira pampikaniriti mpaka leru.
6 Being persuaded of this very thing—that, he who hath begun in you a good work, will perfect it, until the day of Jesus Christ;
Su nwera na unakaka kuwera yomberi yakalyanjiti lihengu ali liherepa mngati mwenu, hakendereyi nalu mpaka limaliriki mulishaka lilii lya Kristu Yesu.
7 According as it is right in me to have this regard in behalf of you all, —because ye have had me in your hearts, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad-message, all of you being, joint partakers of my favour.
Su hangu ndo ntambu yanfiruwa kuwahola toziya nuwaholani mashaka goseri mumoyu mwangu. Toziya mwawoseri mwenga mtenditi pamuhera mumanemu gampananitwi na Mlungu, vinu neni pawera mushibetubetu ama paweriti mlekeziwu kwanja kushilolera hweri na kushilanguziya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
8 For God is, my witness, how I long for you all in the tender affections of Christ Jesus.
Mlungu ndo mkapitawu gwangu kuwera nfira kuwawona mwenga kwa mafiliru galaa galii ga Kristu Yesu.
9 And, this, I pray—that, your love, may be, yet more and more, pre-eminent in personal knowledge and all perception,
Neni numuluwa Mlungu kuwera mafiliru genu kwongereki nentu pamuhera na umana wa unakaka na luhala lwa kila ntambu,
10 To the end ye may be putting to the test the things that differ, in order that ye may be incorrupt and may give no occasion of stumbling, unto the day of Christ,
su mweza kusyagula shitwatira shashiherepa na hamuweri waherepa pota na kuwera na shitakulirwa shoseri shilii mulishaka liii lya Kristu.
11 Filled with that fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.
Makaliru genu hagamemiziwi vitwatira vyoseri vya nakaka vyavimfiriziya Mlungu, Yesu Kristu mweni kaweza kuwapanana, kwa ukwisa na uzyumi wa Mlungu.
12 Howbeit, I am minded, brethren, that ye should be, getting to know, that, the things which relate unto myself, rather, unto an advancement of the glad-message, have fallen out,
Walongu wayetu, nfira muvimani kuwera vitwatira vyoseri vyampatiti neni vintanga nentu kushiyeniziya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
13 So that, my bonds, have become manifest in Christ, in the whole palace, and unto all the rest, —
Su walolera woseri wa numba ya mfalumi pamuhera na wamonga woseri panu wavimana kuwera nwera mushibetubetu toziya neni nankumtendera Kristu.
14 And [so that], the most of the brethren in the Lord, assured by my bonds, are becoming more abundantly bold to be fearlessly speaking the word of God: —
Na kwaneni kuwera mushibetubetu, walongu wayetu mngati mwa Kristu wavuwa wawera wagangamala mukubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu pota na lyoga.
15 Some, indeed, by reason of envy and strife—some, however, by reason of good will—are proclaiming, the Christ:
Yanakaka kuwera wamu wawu wamubwera Kristu toziya wawera na weya na wawera wantu wa ndewu, kumbiti wamonga wankumubwera Kristu toziya wafira kuwatanga wantu.
16 These, indeed, out of love, knowing that, for the defence of the glad-message, I am set;
Womberi wankutenda hangu kwa mafiliru gaherepa toziya wankuvimana kuwera Mlungu kanupiti lihengu ali lya kushitakulira Shisoweru Shiwagira.
17 But, those, out of faction, are declaring, the Christ, not purely—supposing to rouse up, tribulation, with my bonds.
Kumbiti wamonga walii yawambwera Kristu kwa moyu yagunanagala ndiri, kumbiti kwa weya pawalihola kuwera hawanongeleri neni ntabika pawera mushibetubetu.
18 What then? That, in any way, whether in pretext, or in truth, Christ, is declared, and, in this, I rejoice—yea, and will rejoice!
Hashi, nongi shishi? Neni nankunemelera payiwera wantu wankumubwera Kristu kwa kila njira, iweri kwa nfiru iherepa ama nfiru idoda, kayi hanendereyi kunemelera
19 For I know that, this, shall turn unto me for salvation—through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, —
toziya nuvimana kuwera kupitira kumluwa Mlungu kwa mwenga na kwa utanga wa Rohu gwa Yesu Kristu, hanvugulirwi.
20 According to my eager outlook and hope, that, in nothing, shall I be put to shame, but, with all freedom of speech, as always, now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether through means of life, or of death.
Mata yaneni nkulu na litumbiru lyangu, ndo kuwera hapeni nsindi mulihengu lyangu, kumbiti vipindi vyoseri asa mushipindi ashi, hanumkwisi Kristu mumakaliru gangu, panulikala ama pahowa.
21 For, unto me—living, is Christ, and, dying, gain.
Nulikala kwa kumtendera Kristu na kuhowa kwaneni mota.
22 But, if living in flesh, [is Christ], this, unto me, is a fruit of work, —and, what I shall choose, I make not known:
Handa panendereya kulikala neni hanwezi kutenda lihengu lyaliwera na mota nentu. Hashi, neni nsyaguli shishi? Neni nuvimana ndiri.
23 I am held in constraint, however, by reason of the two, —having, the coveting, to be released, and to be with, Christ, for it were far better!
Neni nkwegwa wega mbili. Neni nfira nentu kulawa munshimba ayi na nulikoleri pamuhera na Kristu, shitwatira ashi shiweza kuwera shiherepa nentu,
24 But, to abide still in the flesh, is more needful for your sake;
kumbiti iherepa nentu kwamwenga neni panendereya kulikala.
25 And, of, this, being assured, know that I shall abide, —yea abide with you all, for your advancement, and the joy of your faith;
Neni nwera na unakaka na shitwatira ashi, nuvimana kuwera neni hansigali na hanendereyi kulikala pamuhera na maweni mwenga woseri, su mpati kwongera munjimiru yenu pamuhera na nemeleru,
26 In order that, your matter of boasting, may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, regarding me, through my own presence again with you.
su neni pawera na mwenga kayi, mwenga hamuweri na toziya ya kumtumbira Kristu Yesu kwa ntambu yakantendiriti.
27 Only, in a manner worthy of the glad-message of the Christ, be using your citizenship; in order that—whether coming and seeing you, or being absent, I may hear of the things which concern you—that ye are standing fast in one spirit, with one soul, joining for the combat along with the faith of the glad-message;
Su shitwatira shiherepa ndo shiwera mgenderanu gwenu gulikolerani pamuhera na Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Kristu ntambu yayifiruwa, su handa paweza kwiza kwa mwenga kuwawona ama pampikanira mwenga, neni hanuvimani kuwera mwenga mgangamala pamuhera na nfiru yimu na viraa muvikomi ngondu kwa pamuhera na muwera na nfiru yimu toziya ya njimiru ya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
28 And not being affrighted in anything by the opposers, —the which, is, unto them, a token of destruction, although of your salvation, and this from God;
Namuwatira kwa ntambu yoseri ilii wantu yawawalema, ayi hayiweri lilangaliru kwawu kuwera hawagamili, kumbiti mwenga hamlopoziwi na Mlungu.
29 Because, unto you, hath it been given as a favour, in behalf of Christ, not only, on him, to believe, but also, in his behalf, to suffer: —
Toziya mwenga mpananwa upendelewu wa kumtendera Kristu, kumjimira ndiri hera kumbiti kutabisiwa toziya ya yomberi.
30 Having, the same contest, which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.
Vinu muweza kutenda pamuhera naneni kuzikoma ngondu. Ngondu azi ndo zilii zyamuziwoniti panuzikomiti pa lupaga na nankali nankuzikoma mpaka vinu ntambu yampikanira.
