< Philippians 4 >
1 Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones.
Ya mere, ụmụnna m, ndị m hụrụ nʼanya, na ndị ihe ha na-agụsị m agụụ ike, unu ndị na-enye m ọṅụ, na ndị bụ okpueze m nʼihi ọrụ m na-arụ, bikonu, guzosienụ ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
2 I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, as sisters in Christ.
Arịrịọ m na-arịọ Yodia na Sintiki bụ, ha biko, nwe otu uche nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
3 Yes, and I beg you also, my faithful yoke-fellow, to help these women who have shared my toil in connection with the Good News, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are recorded in the Book of Life.
E, ana m arịọkwa gị, ezi onye mụ na ya na-arụkọ ọrụ, biko, nyere ụmụ nwanyị ndị a aka nʼihi na ha abụọ bụ ndị so m rụọ ọrụ ikwusa oziọma nye ndị ọzọ. Ha sokwa Klement rụọkwa ọrụ, bụ ndị ahụ e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ nke ndụ ahụ.
4 Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad.
Na-aṅụrịnụ ọṅụ mgbe niile nʼime Onyenwe anyị. Ka m kwuokwa ya ọzọ, ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ!
5 Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one--the Lord is near.
Meenụ ka mmadụ niile jiri anya ha hụ na unu bụ ndị obiọma nʼihe niile unu na-eme. Chetanụ na ọbịbịa Onyenwe anyị dị nso.
6 Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.
Unu echegbula onwe unu banyere ihe ọbụla. Kama nʼihe niile, sitenụ nʼekpere na arịrịọ, ya na ekele, chee ihe niile na-akpa unu nʼihu Chineke.
7 And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.
Udo Chineke, nke dị ukwuu karịa ihe ọbụla mmadụ nwere ike ịghọta, ga-eche echiche uche unu na obi unu nche nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is of good repute--if there is any virtue or anything deemed worthy of praise--cherish the thought of these things.
Nʼikpeazụ, ụmụnna m, na-echenụ echiche mgbe niile banyere ihe bụ eziokwu, na ihe dị mma, na ihe ziri ezi. Na-echekwanụ echiche banyere ihe dị ọcha, ihe ọbụla mabigara mma oke, ihe ọbụla dị mma na ndụ onye ọbụla nke e kwesiri ịṅomi, na nke e kwesiri inwe otuto nʼihi ya.
9 The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you--both what you heard and what you saw in me-- hold fast to them; and God who gives peace will be with you.
Na-emenụ ihe ọbụla unu si nʼaka m mụta, maọbụ ihe unu nụrụ, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe unu hụrụ m ka m na-eme. Chineke onye na-enye udo ga-anọnyekwara unu.
10 But I rejoice with a deep and holy joy that now at length you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare. Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although opportunity failed you.
Ana m aṅụrị ọṅụ dị ukwuu nʼime Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na unu mechara malite iche echiche ọzọ banyere m. Unu bu m nʼobi nʼeziokwu ma unu enwetaghị ohere izipụta ya.
11 I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to be content.
Ọ bụghị na m nọ nʼọnọdụ oke mkpa na ụkọ. Nʼihi na amụtala m otu m ga-esi jiri ọṅụ nọrọ nʼọnọdụ ọbụla.
12 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.
Amụtala m otu m ga-esi nọrọ mgbe ihe siri ike na mgbe ihe bara ụba. Amụtakwala m otu m ga-esi nwee afọ ojuju nʼọnọdụ ọbụla, maọbụ mgbe m na-anọ agụụ, maọbụ mgbe m rijuru afọ, maọbụ mgbe m nwere ihe dị ukwuu maọbụ nʼoge ụkọ.
13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
Nʼihi na apụrụ m ime ihe niile site nʼinyeaka onye na-enye m ike.
14 Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.
Ma unu mere nnọọ nke ọma inyere m aka nʼọnọdụ nsogbu nke m nọ nʼime ya.
15 And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving;
Unu onwe unu ndị Filipai maara na mbido nke oziọma a, mgbe m hapụrụ Masidonia, na o nweghị nzukọ ọzọ nyere m aka nʼinye maọbụ ịnabata onyinye, ma e wezuga unu.
16 because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.
Ọ bụladị mgbe m nọ na Tesalonaịka, unu ziteere m onyinye ihe karịrị otu ugbo, inyere m aka na mkpa m.
17 Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.
Ọ bụghịkwa na m chọrọ onyinye unu, kama ana m achọ ka mkpụrụ unu ga-amịta baa ụba, bara unu uru.
18 I have enough of everything--and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me--they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God.
Ugbu a, enweela m ihe niile na-akpa m mkpa, nʼezie, enweela m karịa ihe na-akpa m. Onyinye unu nyere m, nke Epafroditọs wetara, egboola mkpa m niile. Onyinye ndị a dị ka aja na-esi isi ụtọ a chụụrụ Chineke, nke ọ na-anabatakwa nke ọma.
19 But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours.
Ọ bụ Chineke m ga-egboro unu mkpa unu niile, site nʼụlọakụ ebube ya nke eluigwe, nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs.
20 And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn )
Ka otuto dịrị Chineke anyị, bụ Nna anyị, ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn )
21 My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.
Keleere m ndị nsọ niile nʼime Kraịst Jisọs. Ụmụnna ndị mụ na ha nọ na-ekelekwa unu.
22 All God's people here greet you--especially the members of Caesar's household.
Ndị nsọ niile nọ nʼebe a na-ekele unu, karịsịa ndị nọ nʼụlọ Siza.
23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere mmụọ unu. Amen.
