Philippians 4
1 My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, o inyuĩ nyendete na ngeriragĩria kũmuona, nĩ inyuĩ gĩkeno gĩakwa na thũmbĩ yakwa. Endwa akwa, ũguo nĩguo mũbatiĩ kwĩhaanda mũrũmĩte thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
2 I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
Nĩngũthaitha Euodia o na thaithe Sunutuke nĩgeetha maiguane thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
3 And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
Ĩĩ-ni, o na nĩngũkũũria, wee mũrata wakwa wa ma, wee tũrutithanagia wĩra ta tuohetwo icooki rĩmwe, teithagia atumia acio, arĩa maarũĩrĩire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega marĩ hamwe na niĩ, o na Klementi na andũ arĩa angĩ marutithanagia wĩra hamwe na niĩ, arĩa marĩĩtwa mao mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo.
4 [Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
Ikaragai mũkenete hĩndĩ ciothe mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Mwathani. O na nĩ nguuga o rĩngĩ: Ikaragai mũkenete!
5 [Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
Rekei gũkirĩrĩria kwanyu kũmenyeke nĩ andũ othe. Mwathani arĩ hakuhĩ gũũka.
6 Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
Mũtigatangĩke ngoro nĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, no rĩrĩ, menyithagiai Ngai maũndũ marĩa mothe mwendaga, mũkĩmũhooyaga, na mũkĩmũthaithaga, o na mũkĩmũcookagĩria ngaatho.
7 As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
Naguo thayũ wa Ngai, ũrĩa ũtangĩmenyeka ũrĩa ũtariĩ, nĩũrĩmenyagĩrĩra ngoro cianyu o na meciiria manyu thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
8 My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
Ũhoro wa kũrĩkĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩ maũndũ marĩa ma ma, na marĩa ma gũtĩĩka, na marĩa ma kĩhooto, na marĩa matheru, na marĩa ma kwendeka, na marĩa ma kwĩrirĩrio, angĩkorwo kũrĩ maũndũ mega kũna na ma kũgaathĩrĩrio-rĩ, mwĩciiragiei ũhoro wa maũndũ ta macio.
9 Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
Namo maũndũ marĩa mwerutire, kana mũkĩamũkĩra kana mũkĩigua kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, o na kana mũkĩona thĩinĩ wakwa, mekagei arĩ mo. Nake Ngai wa thayũ nĩarĩkoragwo hamwe na inyuĩ.
10 I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
Nĩngũkena mũno thĩinĩ wa Mwathani nĩkuona atĩ marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩmũrurumũkĩtie ũhoro wanyu wa kwĩĩnjiiria. Ti-itherũ nĩmũreĩnjiiragia, no mũtirarĩ na mweke wa kuonania ũguo.
11 I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
Ndiroiga ũguo nĩ ũndũ nĩmbataire, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrutĩte kũiganĩra o ũrĩa kũngĩkorwo kũhaana.
12 [Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
Nĩmenyete ũhoro wa gũikara ndĩ mũkĩaru, na ngamenya ũhoro wa gũikara ndĩ mũtongu. Nĩndĩrutĩte hitho ya gũikara njiganĩire ũndũ-inĩ o wothe na maũndũ-inĩ mothe, kana nĩ kũhũũna, kana nĩ kũhũũta, kana nĩ kũingĩhĩrwo, o na kana nĩ kwaga.
13 I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
Nĩhotaga gwĩka maũndũ mothe na ũndũ wa Kristũ ũrĩa ũheaga hinya.
14 Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
No, nĩmwekire wega nĩkũnyiitanĩra na niĩ mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa.
15 [My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
Makĩria ma ũguo, o ta ũrĩa inyuĩ andũ Afilipi mũkũmenya-rĩ, matukũ-inĩ ma mbere rĩrĩa mwahunjĩirio Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndoimire Makedonia, gũtirĩ kanitha o na ũmwe wanyiitanĩire na niĩ harĩ ũhoro wa kũheana kana kwamũkĩra, tiga o inyuĩ;
16 Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
nĩgũkorwo o na rĩrĩa ndaarĩ Thesalonike, nĩmwandũmagĩra ũteithio kaingĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaakoragwo mbataire.
17 I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
Ti atĩ nĩ kĩheo ndĩracaria kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ, no ndĩracaria kĩrĩa kĩngĩigwo mũthiithũ-inĩ wanyu.
18 But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
Nĩnyamũkĩrĩte indo nyingĩ mũno makĩria; nĩndeheirwo indo cia kũnjigana, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩnyamũkĩrĩte iheo iria mwanengerire Epafarodito andehere. Indo icio nĩ ta maruta marĩ na mũtararĩko mwega, marĩ igongona rĩĩtĩkĩrĩku rĩa gũkenia Ngai.
19 [Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
Nake Ngai wakwa nĩarĩkĩragĩrĩria kũmũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩkorwo mũbataire, akĩmũtanahagĩra na ũtonga wake ũrĩa wĩ riiri thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Nake Ngai, o we Ithe witũ, arogoocwo nginya tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
21 Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
Geithiai andũ othe arĩa aamũre thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa tũrĩ nao nĩmamũgeithia.
22 All of God’s people [here] send their greetings to you. Especially the [fellow believers who work] in the palace of the emperor send their greetings to you.
Andũ othe arĩa aamũre nĩmamũgeithia, na makĩria arĩa a mũciĩ wa Kaisari.
23 My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ ũrogĩa na maroho manyu. Ameni.
