Afilipi 4
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, o inyuĩ nyendete na ngeriragĩria kũmuona, nĩ inyuĩ gĩkeno gĩakwa na thũmbĩ yakwa. Endwa akwa, ũguo nĩguo mũbatiĩ kwĩhaanda mũrũmĩte thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
So then, my dear friends, whom I am longing to see – you who are my joy and my crown, stand fast in union with the Lord, dear friends.
2 Nĩngũthaitha Euodia o na thaithe Sunutuke nĩgeetha maiguane thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to live in harmony, in union with the Lord;
3 Ĩĩ-ni, o na nĩngũkũũria, wee mũrata wakwa wa ma, wee tũrutithanagia wĩra ta tuohetwo icooki rĩmwe, teithagia atumia acio, arĩa maarũĩrĩire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega marĩ hamwe na niĩ, o na Klementi na andũ arĩa angĩ marutithanagia wĩra hamwe na niĩ, arĩa marĩĩtwa mao mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo.
yes, and I ask you, my true comrade, to help them, remembering that they toiled by my side in spreading the good news; and so, too, did Clement and my other fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Ikaragai mũkenete hĩndĩ ciothe mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Mwathani. O na nĩ nguuga o rĩngĩ: Ikaragai mũkenete!
All joy be yours at all times in your union with the Lord. Again I repeat – All joy be yours.
5 Rekei gũkirĩrĩria kwanyu kũmenyeke nĩ andũ othe. Mwathani arĩ hakuhĩ gũũka.
Let your forbearing spirit be plain to everyone. The Lord is near.
6 Mũtigatangĩke ngoro nĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, no rĩrĩ, menyithagiai Ngai maũndũ marĩa mothe mwendaga, mũkĩmũhooyaga, na mũkĩmũthaithaga, o na mũkĩmũcookagĩria ngaatho.
Do not be anxious about anything; but under all circumstances, by prayer and entreaty joined with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God.
7 Naguo thayũ wa Ngai, ũrĩa ũtangĩmenyeka ũrĩa ũtariĩ, nĩũrĩmenyagĩrĩra ngoro cianyu o na meciiria manyu thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Then the peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus.
8 Ũhoro wa kũrĩkĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩ maũndũ marĩa ma ma, na marĩa ma gũtĩĩka, na marĩa ma kĩhooto, na marĩa matheru, na marĩa ma kwendeka, na marĩa ma kwĩrirĩrio, angĩkorwo kũrĩ maũndũ mega kũna na ma kũgaathĩrĩrio-rĩ, mwĩciiragiei ũhoro wa maũndũ ta macio.
In conclusion, friends, whenever you find things that are true or honourable, righteous or pure, loveable or praiseworthy, or if virtue and honour have any meaning, let them fill your thoughts.
9 Namo maũndũ marĩa mwerutire, kana mũkĩamũkĩra kana mũkĩigua kuuma kũrĩ niĩ, o na kana mũkĩona thĩinĩ wakwa, mekagei arĩ mo. Nake Ngai wa thayũ nĩarĩkoragwo hamwe na inyuĩ.
All that you learned and received and heard and saw in me put into practice continually; and then God, the giver of peace, will be with you.
10 Nĩngũkena mũno thĩinĩ wa Mwathani nĩkuona atĩ marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩmũrurumũkĩtie ũhoro wanyu wa kwĩĩnjiiria. Ti-itherũ nĩmũreĩnjiiragia, no mũtirarĩ na mweke wa kuonania ũguo.
It was a matter of great joy to me, as one in union with the Lord, that at length your interest in me had revived. The interest indeed you had, but not the opportunity.
11 Ndiroiga ũguo nĩ ũndũ nĩmbataire, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrutĩte kũiganĩra o ũrĩa kũngĩkorwo kũhaana.
Do not think that I am saying this under the pressure of want. For I, however I am placed, have learned to be independent of circumstances.
12 Nĩmenyete ũhoro wa gũikara ndĩ mũkĩaru, na ngamenya ũhoro wa gũikara ndĩ mũtongu. Nĩndĩrutĩte hitho ya gũikara njiganĩire ũndũ-inĩ o wothe na maũndũ-inĩ mothe, kana nĩ kũhũũna, kana nĩ kũhũũta, kana nĩ kũingĩhĩrwo, o na kana nĩ kwaga.
I know how to face humble circumstances, and I know how to face prosperity. Into all and every human experience I have been initiated – into plenty and hunger, into prosperity and want.
13 Nĩhotaga gwĩka maũndũ mothe na ũndũ wa Kristũ ũrĩa ũheaga hinya.
I can do everything through the strength of the one who makes me strong!
14 No, nĩmwekire wega nĩkũnyiitanĩra na niĩ mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa.
Yet you have acted nobly in sharing my troubles.
15 Makĩria ma ũguo, o ta ũrĩa inyuĩ andũ Afilipi mũkũmenya-rĩ, matukũ-inĩ ma mbere rĩrĩa mwahunjĩirio Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndoimire Makedonia, gũtirĩ kanitha o na ũmwe wanyiitanĩire na niĩ harĩ ũhoro wa kũheana kana kwamũkĩra, tiga o inyuĩ;
And you at Philippi know, as well as I, that in the early days of the good news – at the time when I had just left Macedonia – no church, with the one exception of yourselves, had anything to do with me as far as giving and receiving are concerned.
16 nĩgũkorwo o na rĩrĩa ndaarĩ Thesalonike, nĩmwandũmagĩra ũteithio kaingĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaakoragwo mbataire.
Indeed, even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent more than once to relieve my wants.
17 Ti atĩ nĩ kĩheo ndĩracaria kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ, no ndĩracaria kĩrĩa kĩngĩigwo mũthiithũ-inĩ wanyu.
It is not that I am anxious for your gifts, but I am anxious to see the abundant return that will be placed to your account. I have enough of everything, and to spare.
18 Nĩnyamũkĩrĩte indo nyingĩ mũno makĩria; nĩndeheirwo indo cia kũnjigana, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩnyamũkĩrĩte iheo iria mwanengerire Epafarodito andehere. Indo icio nĩ ta maruta marĩ na mũtararĩko mwega, marĩ igongona rĩĩtĩkĩrĩku rĩa gũkenia Ngai.
My wants are fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts which you sent me – the sweet fragrance of a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.
19 Nake Ngai wakwa nĩarĩkĩragĩrĩria kũmũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩkorwo mũbataire, akĩmũtanahagĩra na ũtonga wake ũrĩa wĩ riiri thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
And my God, out of the greatness of his wealth, will, in glory, fully satisfy your every need, through your union with Christ Jesus.
To him, our God and Father, be ascribed all glory for every and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Geithiai andũ othe arĩa aamũre thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa tũrĩ nao nĩmamũgeithia.
Give my greeting to everyone of the people of Christ Jesus. The Lord’s followers who are with me send your their greetings.
22 Andũ othe arĩa aamũre nĩmamũgeithia, na makĩria arĩa a mũciĩ wa Kaisari.
All Christ’s people here, and especially those who belong to the Emperor’s household, send theirs.
23 Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ ũrogĩa na maroho manyu. Ameni.
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
