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, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 Meɖe kuku na Ewodia, eye mele kuku ɖem na Sintike hã be woƒe tamesusu nanɔ ɖeka le Aƒetɔ la me.
I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to agree 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 ask you also, true companion, 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 evident to all people. The Lord is near.
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.
Do not be anxious about anything, 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 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, 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 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.
And the things you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. 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.
Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly that at last you have revived your concern for me; in which you were indeed concerned, 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.
I'm not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
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 what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret, whether full or hungry, whether having a lot or being in need.
13 Mate ŋu awɔ nu sia nu to eya, ame si doa ŋusẽm la me.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14 Ke hã la, miewɔe nyuie be mienaa kpekpeɖeŋum le nye fukpekpewo me.
Still, you have done well to share my hardship.
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 Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no church 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 me aid twice.
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 the gift, but I seek 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 received everything in full, and I have an abundance. I am fully supplied, 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.
And my God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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 your spirit.
