Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all those set apart in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons.
Nne a Pauli na a Timoteo, bhatumishi bha a Yeshu Kilishitu, tunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya bhandu bha ukonjelo bha ku Pilipi nnundenenje na a Kilishitu, pamo na ashikalongolele na bhatumishi bha likanisha.
2 May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nema na ulele ikopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu ibhe na mmanganyanji.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you;
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu kila pungunkumbushilanga.
4 and always in every prayer for all of you, I pray with joy.
Kila pungunnjujilanga mmowe, ngunajuga kwa angalala,
5 I give thanks for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.
kwa ligongo lya nyangutila kwenunji nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, kuumila lyubha lya tandubha lila, mpaka lelo.
6 I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Na nne ngunakulupalila kuti a Nnungu bhatandwibhe liengo lya mmbone mmitima jenunji, shibhapunde tenda na maliya mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Yeshu Kilishitu.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you because I have you in my heart. You all have been my partners in grace both in my imprisonment and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel.
Nneyo peyo, ngunaapinjikwa kunnganishiyanga mmanganyanji mmowe, pabha munninginji muntima gwangu. Numbe nshinyangutilanga na nkali nnaino ndabhilwe ino, na ata punaaliji nganabhe tabhwa, nnema jibhambele a Nnungu jila, ja bheleketela na kong'ondela Ngani ja Mmbone.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the compassion of Christ Jesus.
A Nnungu ni bhaakong'ondela bhangu, shinguti lokolila kummonanga malinga a Yeshu Kilishitu shibhampinjilenje kwa kaje.
9 I am praying this: That your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all understanding.
Kujuga kwangu ni akuno, kuti, kupinga kwenunji kupunde jenjesheka kwa kaje nnunda na nnumanyiyo lowe,
10 I pray for this so that you may approve what is excellent, and so you may be sincere and without offense on the day of Christ.
nkupinga nng'agulanje indu ya mmbone. Penepo shimmanganje na mitima ja mmbone, gwangali gambwa shoshowe mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Kilishitu.
11 I pray that you also will be filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Akuno nngumbeywenje indu ya mmbone, ishibhampanganje a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene, kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo na iniywa kwa a Nnungu.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, gowe gambatile gala gashinkunyangutila nkujeneya Ngani ja Mmbone.
13 As a result, my chains in Christ came to light throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, bhalinda bhowe na bhandunji bhana bhowe apano bhamumanyinji kuti, kutabhwa kwangu ni kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila a Kilishitu.
14 Most of the brothers have far more confidence in the Lord because of my chains, and they have courage to fearlessly speak the word.
Bhai, kwa ligongo lya tabhwa kwangu, kushikwaatendanga ashaalongo ajangunji bhabhagwinji bhaakulupalilanje Bhakulungwa, mpaka nitumbililanga kulunguya ntenga gwa a Nnungu gwangali bhoga.
15 Some indeed even proclaim Christ out of envy and strife, and also others out of good will.
Kweli, bhananji bhanalunguyanga ngani ja a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya lupimililo na nngomo, ikabheje bhananji kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone.
16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
Bhakwetenje ndumbililo ya mmbone, bhanatendanga nneyo kwa ntima gwa pinga, numbe bhamumanyinji kuti njitabhwa, pabha a Nnungu bhashimba liengo lya bheleketela Ngani ja Mmbone.
17 But the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely. They think they will afflict me while I am in chains.
Ikabhe bhananji bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu kwa nngomo na wala nngabha kwa ntima gwa uguja, bhaliganishiyanga kuti, shibhanyenjesheyanje mboteko nkutabhwa kwangu.
18 What then? Only that in every way—whether from false motives or from true—Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
Igala nndi! Nne ngunaangalala ibhaga bhandu bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu momowe mula, ibhe kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone eu yangali ya mmbone. Kwa lyene ligongo lyo nne shing'angalale, na shimbunde kuangalala,
19 for I know that this will result in my deliverance through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
pabha nimumanyi kuti kwa juga kwenunji na kwa jangutilwa naka Mbumu jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, gambatile gala shigapindikushe nibha ntapulo gwangu.
20 It is my eager expectation and certain hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but that I will have complete boldness, so that now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
Punguganishiya na kulupalila kwangu kuti, ngatokamala nkutenda liengo lyangu, ikabhe shingole makangala mobha gowe, na kaje agano mobha gano, nkupinga kwa nkulama kwangu eu nkuwa kwangu naape a Kilishitu kuishimika.
21 For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Pabha kwangu nne, kulama ni a Kilishitu na kuwa ni pwaida.
22 But if I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which to choose? I do not know.
Bhai monaga kwa lama kwangu shingombole tenda liengo likwete pwaida, bhai ng'agule nndi? Nne ngakushimanya!
23 For I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, which is far better,
Ngunalongwa indu ibhili, ngunalokolila nijileshe ajino ndamo jino niijendele ngatame na a Kilishitu, pabha lyeneli ni lya mmbone kaje,
24 yet to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
ikabheje nonjeyaga kulama, ni sha mmbone kwenu mmanganyanji.
25 Being convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
Kwa kugamanya genega, nimumanyi kuti shimbunde kulama, nonjeye na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpundanje kwiishimilika na angalala nngulupai.
26 so that in me you may have increasing reasons to boast in Christ Jesus when I come to you again.
Bhai shimwipunilanje nne, nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, pushimme na mmanganyanji kabhili.
27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come to see you or am absent, I may hear about you, that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.
Bhai shindu shikulungwa, ndamo jenunji jibhe malinga shiipinjikwa na Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Kilishitu, nkupinga ng'ikaga eu ngaishe, mbilikane kuti nnakwiishimilikanga ukoto kwa ntima gumo, na lundana nkukomana ngondo pamo, kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ga Ngani ja Mmbone.
28 Do not be frightened in any respect by those who are your opponents. This is a sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation—and this from God.
Nnaajogopanje ashaamagongo ajenunji, nkolanje makangala, yeneyo shiibhe shilangulo ukoto, kuti bhanganyanjibho shibhalepelanje na mmanganyanji shinkombolanje, pabha a Nnungu bhayene shibhankomboyanje.
29 For it has been granted to you, for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake,
Pabha mmanganyanji nshipegwanga nema ja kwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, nngabha kwa kwaakulupalilape, ikabhe na potekwa kwa ligongo lyabho.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now you hear in me.
Kwa nneyo nnongananje na nne nkukomana ngondo. Ngondo jinjibhweninji nilikomana, na launo ngunakomana, malinga shinkupilikananga.
