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.
U Paulo nu Timotheo abeshibha sha Yesu Kristi, hwa Bhaala bhabhabagulwe hushauli ya Yesu bhabhakhala hu Filipi, pandwemo na bheenyi na bheenyi adodo.
2 May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Eneema ebhe hulimwe nu tengane waufuma hwa Ngulubhe uise witu nu hwa Yesu Kristi.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you;
Ehusalifya Ungulubhi wane shila pembizuha amwe mwenti.
4 and always in every prayer for all of you, I pray with joy.
Ensiku zyonti shila neputa embaputila, nu mwoyo gwane gusongwa nembaputila.
5 I give thanks for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.
Endinensalifyo nyinji hushauli yelweteho mwibhangili ahwande isiku elyahwande paka sanyunu eshi.
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.
Endi nouhakika aje umwene yahandile embobho enyinza hulimwe abhahwendelele aimalezye mpaka isiku lya Yesu Kristi Ugosi wetu.
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.
Sawa huliwe ahwiyomvweshinza maana embabheshele humwoyo gwane. Amwe mulibhashirika bhamwitu mu neema mufungwe wawe nana litanjilaga ibhangili.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the compassion of Christ Jesus.
Ungulubhi keti wane, shembasukwilwe amwe mwenti mulugano lwa muhati mwa Yesu Kristi.
9 I am praying this: That your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all understanding.
Awe elabha huje: ulugano lwenyu lwonjelele hahinji na munjeele zyonti.
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.
Elaabha kwa ajili yeli aje mubhe ne njeele eyzapime na salule amambo aminza tee. Nantele embalabhila huje mubhe bhinz bila ahwilonje embibhi humwoyo hwisikulya Yesu.
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.
Nantele Ungulubhi abhamemye enyinza mu moyo genyu gagafuma hwa Yesu Kristu, no tuntumune nsumbo zya Ngulubhi.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.
Eshi bhaholo bhawe, ehwanza aje, mumanye huje, amambo gala gagfumiye hulimwe galikhonzizye ibangili aji libhalaje hwitagalila.
13 As a result, my chains in Christ came to light throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else.
Hashisho empinyo yaneya bhampinyile hushauli wa Yesu vimanyishe hwalinzi bha Gosi na hwa bhantu bhonti.
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.
Na aholo bhinji hwa Ugosi U Yesu, hunongwa zye mpinyo zyane, abhantu bhalumbililaizi nkasaje nahamo nantele bila ahwogope.
15 Some indeed even proclaim Christ out of envy and strife, and also others out of good will.
Lelo bhamo bhahulumbilila u Yesu na moyo amabhibhi nibho nantele bhamo bha alumbilila na moyo aminza.
16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
Bhaala bhabhahulumbilila uYesu hulugano bhamenye huje ane embehwelwe epa aje endyumile izu.
17 But the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely. They think they will afflict me while I am in chains.
Nantele bhamo bhahulumbilila Ukristi hufaida yabho nu mwoyo ubhibhi. Bhaiga jee ane embapate amalabha nempengozya bhampinyile.
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,
Eshi? Sesaga, nkahushibhibhi au shinza, Kristi alumbililwa humadala gonti nanewayo esungwa. Pipo endimenye
19 for I know that this will result in my deliverance through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
eli huje lyaindetela ane huje eni gushu mufungwe wane. Elilyaifumila hunongwa yemputo zyenyu nu musaada gwa Umpepo wa Yesu Kristi.
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.
Afuatane nensubhilo ezyelyoli huje ane sehailola ensoni. Naibha nelyoo lyonti. Neshi ensikuzyonti neshi, esubhilahuje, U Yesu aihwizuvya hubili uwawe, nkashele huwomi au hunfwa.
21 For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Huline ane afwe shinza nakhale huline yu Kristu.
22 But if I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which to choose? I do not know.
Lelo akhale nkahwinza hubeele ehuletela Ungulubhi embombo enyinza, mawyi sendimenye elyasalule.
23 For I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, which is far better,
Maana ebhuhwa tee nensebho zibhili. Esungwa aguleshe ubili ogu embale akhale hwa Yesu eho hesamani tee tee.
24 yet to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
Hwope asagale mubili ogu shinza hushauli yenyu.
25 Being convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
Afwatane aje endinouhakika nelii, emenye huje nahaisagala huje embanjese hwendelela akhale pandwimo namwe mwenti, hunongwaye itishilo lwinyu.
26 so that in me you may have increasing reasons to boast in Christ Jesus when I come to you again.
Neli libhelete uluseshelo ugusi hulimwe mwa Yesu Kristi, oluseshelo lwinyu lubhahwonjelele, ane abhe pandwemo namwe.
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.
Muhwanziwa ulwizyo lwenyu munjendo enyiza shalihwanza izulya Ngulubhi aje mubhalaje, bhombaji esho ili nkanayenza au nkasanayenza, ehonvwaje aje mwe meleye, muli numwoyo gumo na lwenyu izu nulweteshelo lwenyu pandwemo.
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.
Musahagundushe ahawtu hohonti hahabhombwa na bhantu abhibhi bhenyu. Ezi mbonesya huje abhantu ebha bhananzi.
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,
Lelo hulimwe mbowesyozye wokovu waufuma hwa Ngulubhi. Maana amwe mupewilwe kwa ajili ya Yesu se humwitishe wewe
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now you hear in me.
lelo na malabhi hwa mwene. Maana mulinibho lilalila neshi lya mwalilolile huline nantele mwonvwezye hujebado endinalyo weshi.
