Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants;
Pauro naTimoti, varanda vaKristu Jesu, kuvatsvene vose muna Kristu Jesu vari paFiripi, pamwe chete navatariri navadhikoni vekereke:
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu ngazvive kwamuri.
3 I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you,
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzose pandinokurangarirai.
4 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,
Muminyengetero yangu yose nokuda kwenyu mose, ndinogara ndichinyengetera nomufaro
5 for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now,
nokuda kwokubata pamwe kwenyu muvhangeri kubvira pazuva rokutanga kusvikira zvino,
6 having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform [it] till a day of Jesus Christ,
ndichiziva izvi, kuti iye akatanga basa rakanaka mamuri acharipedzisa kusvikira pazuva raKristu Jesu.
7 according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.
Zvakanaka kwandiri kuti ndifunge saizvozvo pamusoro penyu mose, sezvo ndinemi mumwoyo; nokuti kunyange ndakasungwa nengetani kana kuti ndichidzivirira nokusimbisa vhangeri, imi mose munogovana neni munyasha dzaMwari.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ,
Mwari anogona kupupura kuti ndinokufungai sei imi mose norudo rwaKristu Jesu.
9 and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,
Uye uyu ndiwo munyengetero wangu: kuti rudo rwenyu ruwande uye muwanze kuziva nokunzwisisa,
10 for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless — to a day of Christ,
kuitira kuti mugogona kunzwisisa kuti zvakaisvonaka ndezvipi uye muve vakachena uye mushayiwe chamungapomerwa kusvikira pazuva raKristu,
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
muzere nechibereko chokururama chinouya kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, kuti kubwinya nokurumbidzwa zvive kuna Mwari.
12 And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,
Zvino ndinoda kuti muzive, hama dzangu, kuti zvakaitika kwandiri zvakabatsira zvikuru kufambisa vhangeri.
13 so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places — all,
Nokuda kwaizvozvo, zvava pachena kuvarindi vomuzinda wamambo nokuna vose kuti ndiri mungetani nokuda kwaKristu.
14 and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold — fearlessly to speak the word.
Nokuda kwengetani dzangu, hama zhinji muna She dzakakurudzirwa kuti vataure shoko raMwari vakashinga zvikuru uye vasingatyi.
15 Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ;
Ichokwadi kuti vamwe vanoparidza Kristu negodo uye negakava, asi vamwe nenzira yakanaka.
16 the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,
Vamwe vanoita izvozvo murudo, vachiziva kuti ndakaiswa muno nokuda kwokudzivirira vhangeri.
17 and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:
Vamwe vaiparidza Kristu nomwoyo woruchiva, vasina kutendeka, vachifungidzira kuti vangandimutsira dambudziko ndichiri mungetani.
18 what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed — and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.
Asi zvisinei hazvo, chinhu chinokosha ndechokuti munzira dzose, dzingava ndangariro dzenhema kana dzechokwadi, Kristu ari kuparidzwa hake. Uye nokuda kwaizvozvi ndinofara. Hongu, uye ndicharamba ndichifara,
19 For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,
nokuti ndinoziva kuti kubudikidza neminyengetero yenyu uye norubatsiro runopiwa noMweya waJesu Kristu, zvakaitika kwandiri zvichashanduka zvikava kusunungurwa kwangu.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
Ndinoshuva zvikuru nokutarira kuti handingazonyadziswi, asi ndichava nokushinga kwakakwana kuitira kuti zvino senguva dzose Kristu achakudzwa mumuviri wangu, muupenyu kana murufu.
21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain.
Nokuti kwandiri, kurarama ndiKristu uye kufa kupfuma.
22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;
Kana ndikaramba ndichirarama mumuviri, izvi zvichareva kubata kune zvibereko kwandiri. Asi ndichasarudzeiko? Handizivi!
23 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
Ndiri pakati pezvinhu zviviri zvinoti: Ndinoda kuenda kuti ndive naKristu, zvinova ndizvo zviri nani nokupfuuridza;
24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
asi zvinokoshawo zvikuru kwamuri kuti ndirambe ndiri mumuviri uyu.
25 and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
Ndichitenda chinhu ichi, ndinoziva kuti ndichagara, uye ndicharamba ndinemi mose kuti mupfuurire mberi uye mufare mukutenda kwenyu,
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.
kuitira kuti ndichinge ndadzoka kwamuri zvakare, mufaro wenyu muna Kristu Jesu ugozadziswa nokuda kwangu.
27 Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
Zvisinei kuti chii chaitika kwandiri, murambe muchifamba nenzira yakafanira vhangeri raKristu. Ipapo, kunyange ndikauya kuzokuonai kana kunzwa nezvenyu ndisipo hangu, ndichaziva kuti mumire nesimba mumweya mumwe, muchirwa somunhu mumwe nokuda kwokutenda kwevhangeri,
28 and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
musingatyiswi nenzira ipi zvayo neavo vanopikisana nemi. Ichi ndicho chiratidzo kwavari kuti vachaparadzwa, uye kuti imi muchaponeswa naMwari.
29 because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;
Nokuti makapiwa imi, nokuda kwaKristu, kuti musangotenda kwaari bedzi, asi kuti mutambudzike nokuda kwake,
30 the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
sezvo muri mukurwa kumwe chete uku kwamakandiona ndinako, uye kwamunoziva zvino kuti ndichinako.
