Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Christ Jesus: To all God's people in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the ministers of the Church and their assistants.
Bulus da Timoti bayin Almasihu Yesu, zuwa ga dukan wadan da aka kebe cikin Almasihu Yesu da ke a Filibi, tare da masu kula da ikilisiya da dikinoni.
2 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bari alheri ya kasance tare da ku da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da Ubagijinmu Yesu Almasihu.
3 I thank my God at my every remembrance of you--
Ina godiya ga Allahna duk lokacin da na tuna da ku.
4 always when offering any prayer on behalf of you all, finding a joy in offering it.
Ko yaushe cikin addu'a ta dominku duka, da farin ciki na ke addu'a.
5 I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even until now.
Ina godiya domin tarayyar ku a cikin bishara tun daga rana ta fari har ya zuwa yanzu.
6 For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of Jesus Christ.
Na tabbata game da wannan abu, shi wanda ya fara aiki mai kyau a cikinku zai ci gaba da shi har ya kai ga kammala zuwa ranar Yesu Almasihu.
7 And I am justified in having this confidence about you all, because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, I have you in my heart, sharers as you all are in the same grace as myself.
Daidai ne in ji haka game da dukanku domin kuna zuciya ta. Dukanku abokan tarayya ta ne cikin alherin Allah wajen dauri na da kuma kariyar bishara, da tabbatar da bishara.
8 For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender Christian affection.
Domin Allah mashaidi na ne, a kan yadda ina da marmarin ku duka cikin zurfin kaunar Almasihu Yesu.
9 And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,
Ina yin wannan addu'a: kaunar ku ta habaka gaba gaba a cikin sani da dukan fahimta.
10 so that you may be men of transparent character, and may be blameless, in preparation for the day of Christ,
Ina addu'a a kan haka domin ku gwada ku zabi mafifitan abubuwa. Ina addu'a domin ku zama sahihai marasa abin zargi a ranar Almasihu.
11 being filled with these fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ-- to the glory and praise of God.
Wannan kuma domin a cika ku da 'ya'yan adalci da ake samu ta wurin Yesu Almasihu, zuwa ga daukaka da yabon Allah.
12 Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than otherwise.
Yanzu ina so ku sani, 'yan'uwa, cewa al'amuran da suka faru da ni sun zama dalilan cin gaban bishara kwarai da gaske.
13 And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner;
Sakamakon haka, sarkokina cikin Almasihu sun zama sanannu ga dukan sojojin fada da kuma sauran jama'a,
14 and the greater part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord through my imprisonment, now speak of God's Message without fear, more boldly than ever.
har galibin 'yan'uwa cikin Ubangiji suka karfafa kwarai sabili da sarkokina, suka fito a fili suka yi shelar maganar Allah gabagadi.
15 Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are also others who do it from good will.
Lalle wadansu suna shelar Almasihu cikin kishi da husuma, wadansu kuwa domin kyakyawar manufa.
16 These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence of the Good News;
Masu shelar Almasihu domin kauna sun sani cewa an ajiye ni nan domin in kare bishara.
17 while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my imprisonment.
Amma wadansu kuwa suna shelar Almasihu saboda sonkai da rashin gaskiya. A zaton su suna wahalar da ni cikin sarkokina.
18 What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached--either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
Sai kuma me? Ta kowace hanya, ko da gangan ko da gaske, shelar Almasihu ake yi, ina kuma murna da wannan! I, zan yi murna.
19 For I know that it will result in my salvation through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Domin na sani wannan zai kai ga sanadiyar kubuta ta. Wannan zai faru sabili da addu'ar ku, da kuma taimakon Ruhun Yesu Almasihu.
20 in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either by my life or by my death.
Bisa ga abin da hakikance nake tsammani da tabbaci cewa ba zan kunyata ba. Maimakon haka, da dukan karfin hali kamar kullum, da yanzu kuma, ina da burin kawo daukaka ga Almasihu a cikin jikina. Ina da begen Almasihu ya sami daukaka a cikin jikina ko cikin rayuwa ko cikin mutuwa.
21 For, with me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Domin ni a gare ni rai Almasihu ne, mutuwa kuwa riba ce.
22 But since to live means a longer stay on earth, that implies more labour for me--and not unsuccessful labour; and which I am to choose I cannot tell.
Amma idan ya zamanto rayuwata cikin jiki za ta kawo amfanin hidima to, ban san wanda zan zaba ba.
23 I am in a dilemma, my earnest desire being to depart and be with Christ, for that is far, far better.
Amma dukansu biyu suna jan hankali na. Ina da burin in bar nan in kasance tare da Almasihu, wannan ya fiye mani kwarai!
24 But for your sakes it is more important that I should still remain in the body.
Duk da haka rayuwata cikin jiki wajibi ne sabili da ku.
25 I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, and shall go on working side by side with you all, to promote your progress and joy in the faith;
Tunda shike ina da tabbas a kan wannan, na kuma sani zan rayu, in cigaba da kasancewa da ku duka domin cigaban ku, da farincikin ku, cikin bangaskiya.
26 so that, as Christians, you may have additional reason for glorying about me as the result of my being with you again.
Sakamakon haka, takamar ku cikin Almasihu Yesu za ta bunkasa sabili da dawowa ta a gare ku.
27 Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.
Ku tafiyar da al'amuran ku kamar yadda ya cancanci bisharar Almasihu, ku yi haka domin ko na zo in duba ku, ko bana nan inji yadda kuke tsaye daram cikin ruhu guda. Ina fatan in ji cewa da nufi daya kuke fama tare saboda bangaskiyar nan ta bishara.
28 Never for a moment quail before your antagonists. Your fearlessness will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation--a token coming from God.
Kada ku tsorata da kome da magabtanku za su yi. Alama ce a gare su ta hallakar su. Amma ku kuwa alama ce ta ceton ku, wannan kuwa daga Allah ne.
29 For you have had the privilege granted you on behalf of Christ--not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf;
Gama an yi maku alheri, sabo da Almasihu, ba gaskantawa da Almasihu kawai ba, amma har ma shan wuya dominsa.
30 maintaining, as you do, the same kind of conflict that you once saw in me and which you still hear that I am engaged in.
Kuna da shan wuya irin tawa wanda kuka gani, wanda kun ji nake sha har yanzu.
