Filipitɔwo 4
1 Nɔvi kristotɔ lɔlɔ̃awo, melɔ̃ mi, eye medi vevie be mava kpɔ mi ɖa, elabena miawoe nye nye dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple nye fiakuku si maxɔ ɖe nye dɔwɔwɔwo ta. Eya ta xɔ̃nye lɔlɔ̃awo, minɔ te sesĩe le Aƒetɔ la me.
Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
2 Meɖe kuku na Ewodia, eye mele kuku ɖem na Sintike hã be woƒe tamesusu nanɔ ɖeka le Aƒetɔ la me.
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
3 Megale biabiam tso mi, nye hadɔwɔlawo si be miana kpekpeɖeŋu nyɔnu siawo, elabena wowɔ dɔ kplim aduadu le nyanyui la kaka na ame bubuwo me; eye wowɔ dɔ kple Klemens kple nye dɔwɔhati bubu siwo ŋkɔ woŋlɔ ɖe agbegbalẽ la me la hã.
Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Mikpɔ dzidzɔ le Aƒetɔ la me ɣe sia ɣi. Megale egblɔm ake be, “Dzi nedzɔ mi!”
Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
5 Mina ame sia ame nade dzesi miaƒe tufafa. Miɖo ŋku edzi be Aƒetɔ la ƒe vava gogo.
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Migatsi dzimaɖi le naneke ŋuti o; ke boŋ le nu sia nu me la, mitsɔ gbedodoɖa kple kukuɖeɖe kpakple akpedada gblɔ miaƒe hiahiãwo na Mawu.
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 Eye Mawu ƒe ŋutifafa si ƒo nugɔmesesewo katã ta la adzɔ miaƒe dziwo kple miaƒe susuwo ŋu le Kristo Yesu me.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 Mlɔeba la, nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, nu siwo nye nyateƒe, nu siwo dze na bubu, nu siwo nyo, nu siwo le dzadzɛe, nu siwo dze na lɔlɔ̃, nu siwo nya kpɔna, nu siwo dze na kafukafu, ne nane li si nyo, eye wòdze na kafukafu la, mibu nu siawo ŋu.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
9 Miwɔ nu siwo katã miesrɔ̃ tso gbɔnye alo miexɔ tso gbɔnye alo miese tso gbɔnye, alo kpɔ le menye la, eye Mawu ƒe ŋutifafa anɔ anyi kpli mi.
Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 Mekpɔ dzidzɔ le Aƒetɔ la me vevie be, mlɔeba la, miegadze ŋkuɖoɖo dzinye gɔme. Le nyateƒe me la, mietsɔ ɖe le eme nam, gake ɖeko miekpɔ mɔnu be miaɖee afia o.
But I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
11 Nyemele nya sia gblɔm ɖe esi mele hiã me la ta o, elabena mesrɔ̃ ale si manɔ agbee nenye be nu geɖe alo nu sue aɖe le asinye.
Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12 Menya ale si manɔ agbee, ne naneke mele asinye o, alo ne nu geɖe le asinye hã. Mesrɔ̃ dzidzemekpɔkpɔ ƒe nu ɣaɣla le go ɖe sia ɖe me, le ƒoɖiɖi me alo le dɔwuame me, le nukpɔkpɔ geɖe me alo le hiã me.
I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
13 Mate ŋu awɔ nu sia nu to eya, ame si doa ŋusẽm la me.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Ke hã la, miewɔe nyuie be mienaa kpekpeɖeŋum le nye fukpekpewo me.
However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
15 Gawu la, abe ale si mi Filipitɔwo mienya ene be esi miese nyanyui la zi gbãtɔ esi tso Makedonia la, hame bubu aɖeke menye nye hadɔwɔlawo le nunana kple nuxɔxɔ me o, negbe miawo ko.
You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
16 Esi menɔ hiahiã me le Tesalonika gɔ̃ hã la, mieɖo nu ɖem zi geɖe.
For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17 Menye ɖe mele nunana aɖeke dim tso mia gbɔ o, ke boŋ mele didim be nu nasɔ gbɔ ɖe edzi na mi.
Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
18 Mexɔ fetu geɖe si wu gbɔgblɔ; mexɔ nunanawo fũu. Esi Epafrodito va la, etsɔ nunana gbogbo siwo mieɖo ɖem la vɛ nam. Nunana siawo nye vɔsanu ʋeʋĩ lĩlĩlĩ si dzea Mawu ŋu.
But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
19 Eye nye Mawu ana miaƒe nuhiahiãwo katã mi tso eƒe ŋutikɔkɔekesinɔnuwo me, le Kristo Yesu me.
My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
21 Medo gbe na ame kɔkɔewo le Yesu Kristo me. Nɔvi siwo le gbɔnye la hã do gbe na mi.
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 Ame kɔkɔe ɖe sia ɖe si le afi sia la di be mado gbe na mi na yewo, vevietɔ esiwo le dɔ wɔm le Kaisaro ƒe aƒe me.
All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 Míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe amenuveve nanɔ anyi kple miaƒe gbɔgbɔwo.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
