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.
So, my beloved and longed for brethren, my joy and my crown, stand fast in the Lord, 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 thing 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.
Yea, I also entreat thee, noble yoke-fellow, assist those women, whosoever labored with me in the gospel, both along with Clement, 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: I say to you again, Rejoice.
5 Mina ame sia ame nade dzesi miaƒe tufafa. Miɖo ŋku edzi be Aƒetɔ la ƒe vava gogo.
Let your clemency be made known to all men; the Lord is nigh.
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.
Be solicitous about nothing; but in all prayer and supplication, let your request 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, that passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds 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, brethren, so many things as are true, so many things as are noble, so many things as are righteous, so many things as are pure, so many things as are lovely, so many things as are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on 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.
Whatsoever things you have indeed learned and received and heard and seen in me, do the same: 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 greatly rejoice in the Lord, because indeed you have at length revived to think about me; in whatsoever you indeed were thinking, nevertheless 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 concerning deficiency: for I have learned to be content with those things amid which I am.
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 indeed know how to be poor, and I know how to abound: in every thing and in all things I learned both to flourish and to be poor, both to abound and to be destitute.
13 Mate ŋu awɔ nu sia nu to eya, ame si doa ŋusẽm la me.
I can do all things through him who fills me up with dynamite.
14 Ke hã la, miewɔe nyuie be mienaa kpekpeɖeŋum le nye fukpekpewo me.
Moreover you did beautifully, communicating with my tribulation.
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.
And you indeed know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I came out from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in the word of giving and receiving, except you alone;
16 Esi menɔ hiahiã me le Tesalonika gɔ̃ hã la, mieɖo nu ɖem zi geɖe.
because also in Thessalonica both once and twice you sent 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 a gift; but I seek fruit abounding to your credit.
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 I abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus those things from you, an odor of a sweet savor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
19 Eye nye Mawu ana miaƒe nuhiahiãwo katã mi tso eƒe ŋutikɔkɔekesinɔnuwo me, le Kristo Yesu me.
But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
To God even our Father be the glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Medo gbe na ame kɔkɔewo le Yesu Kristo me. Nɔvi siwo le gbɔnye la hã do gbe na mi.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute 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, and especially those from the house of Caesar, salute you.
23 Míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe amenuveve nanɔ anyi kple miaƒe gbɔgbɔwo.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
