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: —
Saa nhoma yi fi Paulo ne Timoteo a wɔyɛ Kristo Yesu nkoa nkyɛn, Wɔde kɔma Yesu Kristo mu ahotefo ne ahwɛfo ne asomafo a wɔwɔ Filipi no nyinaa:
2 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
Adom ne asomdwoe a efi yɛn Agya Nyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.
3 I am giving thanks unto my God, on occasion of all my remembrance of you,
Bere biara a mekae mo no, meda Onyankopɔn ase.
4 At all times, in every supplication of mine, in behalf of you all, with joy, my supplication, making, —
Saa ara nso na da biara mede anigye bɔ mpae ma mo,
5 On account of your contribution unto the glad-message, from the first day until the present:
efisɛ efi da a edi kan de besi sesɛɛ no, moaboa me wɔ asɛmpaka no adwumayɛ mu.
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;
Eyi nti migye di yiye sɛ Onyankopɔn a ofii ase yɛɛ saa adwuma pa yi wɔ mo mu no bɛkɔ so de akosi da a Yesu Kristo bɛba no.
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.
Sɛnea mo ho adwene pa wɔ me tirim no nti sɛ daa mekae mo a, na ne kwan so ara ne no. Efisɛ sɛ meda mpokyerɛ mu, anaasɛ mede me ho na mereka Asɛmpa no a, mo nyinaa ne me nya Onyankopɔn adom.
8 For God is, my witness, how I long for you all in the tender affections of Christ Jesus.
Onyankopɔn ankasa di me adanse sɛ mʼani agyina mo wɔ Yesu Kristo dɔ mu.
9 And, this, I pray—that, your love, may be, yet more and more, pre-eminent in personal knowledge and all perception,
Me mpae a mebɔ ma mo ne sɛ ɔdɔ a mode dodɔ mo ho mo ho no mu bɛyɛ den, na mubenyin wɔ nimdeɛ ne ntease mu,
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,
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubehu nea eye na da a Kristo bɛba no na moayɛ kronkron a obi nka asɛm bi ntia mo.
11 Filled with that fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.
Nneɛma pa a Yesu Kristo no nko betumi de ama mo no bɛhyɛ mo abrabɔ ma de ahyɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam akamfo no.
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,
Anuanom, mepɛ sɛ mote ase sɛ nneɛma a aba me so nyinaa aboa ama Asɛmpa no atrɛw.
13 So that, my bonds, have become manifest in Christ, in the whole palace, and unto all the rest, —
Ɛno nti awɛmfo a wɔwɔ ahemfi ha ne afoforo a wɔka wɔn ho no nyinaa nim sɛ, esiane sɛ meyɛ Kristo somfo no nti na meda afiase.
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: —
Afiase a meda no ahyɛ anuanom bebree nkuran wɔ Awurade mu ma wotumi ka Onyankopɔn asɛm no wɔ akokoduru so a wonsuro hwee.
15 Some, indeed, by reason of envy and strife—some, however, by reason of good will—are proclaiming, the Christ:
Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ wɔn mu ebinom nam nitan ne ntɔkwapɛ so ka Kristo ho asɛm foforo, na afoforo nso de adwene pa na ɛka ne ho asɛm.
16 These, indeed, out of love, knowing that, for the defence of the glad-message, I am set;
Wɔn a wɔde adwene pa ka asɛm no fi ɔdɔ mu na ɛka, efisɛ, wonim sɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm nti na meda afiase.
17 But, those, out of faction, are declaring, the Christ, not purely—supposing to rouse up, tribulation, with my bonds.
Afoforo a wɔnam nitan ne ntɔkwapɛ so ka asɛm no nso dwene sɛ wɔnam saa kwan yi so bɛma mʼahohiahia aboro so wɔ mʼafiasenna nna yi mu.
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!
Eyi nti na ayɛ dɛn? Ɛyɛ me anigyesɛm. Nea ehia ara ne sɛ, sɛ wofi adwene pa anaa adwemmɔne mu no, Kristo ho asɛm ara na wɔka. Na eyi nti mʼani gye na mɛkɔ so ama mʼani agye,
19 For I know that, this, shall turn unto me for salvation—through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, —
efisɛ minim sɛ mo mpaebɔ ne adom a efi Yesu Kristo Honhom mmoa mu no nti wobegyaa me.
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.
Me pɛ ne mʼanidaso titiriw ne sɛ, mmere nyinaa mede nsi ne anem bɛyɛ mʼadwuma; mpo saa bere yi, sɛ mete ase o, sɛ miwu o, mede me nipadua nyinaa bɛhyɛ Kristo anuonyam.
21 For, unto me—living, is Christ, and, dying, gain.
Me de, Kristo nti na mete ase; na mpo, owu yɛ me mfaso.
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:
Nanso sɛ mete ase a, metumi ayɛ adwuma a so wɔ mfaso ama Kristo. Ɛno nti minhu mu nea memfa, asetena anaasɛ owu.
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!
Eyi ayɛ me aniani. Pɛ na mepɛ sɛ mitu fi wiase ne Kristo kɔtena, efisɛ ɛno mmom na eye;
24 But, to abide still in the flesh, is more needful for your sake;
nanso mo nti, sɛ mete ase nso a anka eye.
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;
Minim sɛ me ho hia wɔ asase yi so ha; ɛno nti migye di sɛ mɛtena ha kakra na maboa mo ama moanyin wɔ gyidi mu anya anigye.
26 In order that, your matter of boasting, may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, regarding me, through my own presence again with you.
Mʼasetena yi bɛma mo ani agye na sɛ mesan bɛsra mo bio a, mubenya biribi agyina so ahyɛ Kristo anuonyam sɛ ɔbɔɔ me ho ban.
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;
Mprempren, ade a ɛho hia me ne sɛ biribiara a ɛbɛto mo no, momma mo abrabɔ mfata Kristo Asɛmpa no nko ara, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ yehyia o, sɛ yɛanhyia o, mɛte mo ho asɛm pa sɛ mugyina pintinn na mukura botae koro ne gyidi koro wɔ Asɛmpa no ho.
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;
Munnsuro mo atamfo. Biribiara a mobɛyɛ no, momfa akokoduru nnyina pintinn. Na eyi bedi adanse sɛ wobedi nkogu na moadi nkonim, efisɛ Onyankopɔn ka mo ho.
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: —
Na mo de, ɛnyɛ sɛ wɔadom mo sɛ munni Kristo akyi nko, na mmom sɛ mubehu amane nso.
30 Having, the same contest, which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.
Afei mubetumi ne me abɔ mu ako ɔko a mereko no. Saa ɔko yi na bere a atwa mu no, mekoe na migu so reko sɛnea mote no.
