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.
Kale, baganda bange abaagalwa, era be nnumirirwa omwoyo, mmwe ssanyu lyange era mmwe ngule yange; noolwekyo abaagalwa, muyimirire mu Mukama waffe.
2 I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, as sisters in Christ.
Ewudiya ne Sintuke mbeegayirira mukkiriziganye mu Mukama waffe.
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.
Era ggwe mukozi munnange, nkusaba oyambenga abakazi abo, kubanga baakolera wamu nange omulimu gw’okubunyisa Enjiri. Abo awamu ne Kerementi, era ne bakozi bannange abalala, amannya gaabwe gawandiikiddwa mu kitabo ky’obulamu.
4 Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad.
Musanyukirenga mu Mukama waffe bulijjo. Nziramu okubagamba nti musanyukenga.
5 Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one--the Lord is near.
Era mubeere n’okuzibiikiriza eri abantu bonna. Mukama waffe, ali kumpi.
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.
Temweraliikiriranga kintu na kimu, wabula mu buli kintu mu kusabanga ne mu kwegayiriranga awamu n’okwebazanga, mutegeezenga Katonda bye mwetaaga.
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.
N’emirembe gya Katonda, egisukkiridde okutegeera kwammwe ginaabakuumanga amagezi gammwe n’emitima gyammwe mu Kristo Yesu.
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.
Eky’enkomerero, abooluganda, mulowoozenga ku buli kya mazima, na buli ekisiimibwa na buli kya butuukirivu, na buli kirongoofu, na buli kyagalibwa, na buli kyogerwako obulungi, era bwe wabangawo ekirungi oba bwe wabangawo ettendo, ebyo mubirowoozengako.
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.
Ebyo bye mwayiga, n’ebyo bye mwafuna ne muwulira, ebyo mubirowoozengako.
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.
Nasanyuka nnyo mu Mukama waffe, kubanga kaakano oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga muzzeemu okundowoozaako buggya, kubanga mwali munzisaako nnyo omwoyo, naye temwalina mukisa ku kiraga.
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.
Soogera kino olwokubanga Ndiko kye nneetaaga, kubanga mu buli mbeera gye mbaamu nayiga okumalibwanga.
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.
Mmanyi okubeera nga sirina kantu, era mmanyi okuba nga nnina buli kimu. Mu buli ngeri ne mu bintu byonna nayiga ekyama ekiri mu kukkusibwa ne mu kuba omuyala, mu kuba n’ebingi ne mu bwetaavu.
13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
Nnyinza okukola byonna mu oyo ampa amaanyi.
14 Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.
Kyokka mukola bulungi okulumirirwa awamu nange mu kubonaabona kwange.
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;
Mmwe, Abafiripi, mumanyi nti bwe nava e Makedoniya nga nakatandika okubuulira Enjiri, tewali Kkanisa n’emu eyampaayo akantu olw’ebyo bye yafuna okuggyako mmwe mwekka.
16 because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.
Kubanga ddala ddala bwe nnali mu Sessaloniika mwampeereza emirundi ebiri.
17 Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.
Soogera kino lwa kubanga njagala okufuna ekirabo, wabula kye njagala kwe kulaba ng’ekibala kyeyongera ku lwammwe.
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.
Naye kaakano nfunye bingi okusinga bye neetaaga, kino kisinzidde mu ebyo bye mwampeereza, Epafuladito bye yandeetera. Biri ng’akaloosa akalungi ennyo aka ssaddaaka esanyusa era esiimibwa Katonda.
19 But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours.
Kale ne Katonda wange alibawa buli kye mwetaaga ng’obugagga bwe obungi obuli mu Kristo Yesu bwe buli.
Katonda Kitaffe aweebwenga ekitiibwa emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (aiōn g165)
21 My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.
Munnamusize buli mutukuvu mu Kristo Yesu; era n’abooluganda abali wano nange babalamusizza.
22 All God's people here greet you--especially the members of Caesar's household.
Era n’abatukuvu bonna babatumidde, naye okusingira ddala abo abali mu lubiri lwa Kayisaali.
23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo kibeerenga nammwe. Amiina.
