Filip 1
1 Paul ak Timothée, sèvitè-atache nèt a Jésus Kri yo, a tout fidèl ki nan Kris Jésus ki nan vil Philippe yo, menm avèk dirijan legliz ak dyak yo tou:
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:
2 Lagras pou nou, ak lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou an, e Senyè a Jésus Kri.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an nan tout fwa ke m sonje nou.
I give praise to my God at every memory of you,
4 Mwen toujou ap ofri lapriyè avèk jwa nan kè m nan tout priyè mwen pou nou tout,
And in all my prayers for you all, making my request with joy,
5 akoz de patisipasyon nou nan levanjil la depi premye jou a jiska koulye a.
Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;
6 Paske mwen gen konfyans menm nan bagay sa a; ke Sila ki te kòmanse fè yon bon zèv nan nou an, va byen konplete li jiska jou a Kris Jésus a.
For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Paske li vrèman gen rezon ke m santi sa sou pati pa nou. Paske nou nan kè m akoz nou te patisipan depi lè m te nan prizon an, ni lè m t ap defann e konfime levanjil la nou te pataje gras la avè m.
So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.
8 Paske Bondye se temwen mwen, de jan mwen anvi wè nou tout avèk tandrès a Kris Jésus a.
For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Mwen priye konsa, pou lanmou nou kapab ogmante ankò plis toujou nan vrè konesans, avèk tout bon jijman.
And my prayer is that you may be increased more and more in knowledge and experience;
10 Pou nou kapab vin dakò avèk bagay ki ekselan, pou nou kapab rete sensè e san fot jiska jou a Kris la;
So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;
11 Se pou nou vin ranpli nèt avèk fwi ladwati ki vini atravè Jésus Kri a, pou laglwa ak lwanj a Bondye.
Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Koulye a, mwen vle nou konnen, frè m yo, ke sikonstans mwen yo vin pase pou pi gran pwogrè levanjil la.
Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;
13 Paske anprizonman mwen pou koz a Kris la vin konnen toupatou nan tout gad palè a e pa tout lòt moun yo.
So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;
14 Epi pifò nan frè nou yo mete plis konfyans nan Senyè a akoz anprizonman m nan, e yo vin gen plis kouraj toujou pou pale pawòl Bondye a san krent.
And most of the brothers in the Lord, taking heart because of my chains, are all the stronger to give the word of God without fear.
15 Asireman kèk nan yo menm ap preche Kris avèk lanvi ak konfli, men kèk tou ap preche l avèk senserite.
Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:
16 Dènye nan sa yo, fè l avèk lanmou, paske yo konnen ke m te chwazi pou defans a levanjil la.
These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news:
17 Premye sa yo pwoklame Kris avèk anbisyon pèsonèl, olye santiman de bon kè, akoz yo panse ke sa ka fè m chagren nan anprizonman mwen an.
But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
18 Alò, kisa? Sèlman nan chak ka, kit se nan pretèks kit se nan verite, Kris la pwoklame. E se nan sa mwen rejwi mwen. Wi, mwen va rejwi mwen.
What then? only that in every way, falsely or truly, the preaching of Christ goes on; and in this I am glad, and will be glad.
19 Paske mwen konnen ke sa va sèvi pou delivrans mwen atravè lapriyè nou yo, ak pwovizyon Lespri Jésus Kri a.
For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Selon sensè volonte ak esperans mwen, pou m pa vin wont nan anyen, men ke avèk tout kouraj, Kris va menm koulye a, kòm toujou egzalte nan kò m kit se nan lavi kit se nan lanmò.
In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.
21 Paske pou mwen menm viv se Kris e mouri se avantaj.
For to me life is Christ and death is profit.
22 Men si mwen viv toujou nan lachè, sa va pote fwi pou travay mwen. Konsa, mwen pa menm konnen kilès pou m ta pito.
But if I go on living in the flesh — if this is the fruit of my work — then I do not see what decision to make.
23 Men mwen sanse presyon nan toulède direksyon yo. Mwen ta anvi ale, pou m kapab avèk Kris, paske sa pi bon anpil,
I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:
24 men pou m rete nan lachè a pi nesesè pou koz a nou menm.
Still, to go on in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
25 Konvenk de sa, mwen konnen ke mwen va rete pou kontinye avèk nou tout, pou pwogrè ak lajwa nou nan lafwa.
And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;
26 Konsa konfyans fyète nou an nan mwen kapab vin debòde nan Jésus Kri lè mwen vin bò kote nou an ankò.
So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.
27 Sèlman, kondwi tèt nou nan yon fason ki dign de levanjil a Jésus Kri a, pou si mwen vini wè nou oubyen rete absan, mwen kapab tande ke nou kanpe fèm nan yon sèl espri, avèk yon sèl panse, nan lite ansanm pou lafwa a levanjil la,
Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;
28 san okenn perèz a lènmi nou yo, ki se yon sign destriksyon pou yo menm, men sali pou nou menm, e sa anplis, soti nan Bondye.
Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;
29 Paske, a nou menm li te vin pèmèt, pou koz a Kris la, non sèlman pou kwè nan Li, men osi pou soufri pou koz Li.
Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:
30 Konsa nou ap pase menm konfli entèn ke nou te wè m pase a, e koulye a tande k ap fèt nan mwen.
Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.
