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, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
2 Lagras pou nou, ak lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou an, e Senyè a Jésus Kri.
Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an nan tout fwa ke m sonje nou.
I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
4 Mwen toujou ap ofri lapriyè avèk jwa nan kè m nan tout priyè mwen pou nou tout,
Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
5 akoz de patisipasyon nou nan levanjil la depi premye jou a jiska koulye a.
For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until 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.
Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
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.
As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
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 I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 Mwen priye konsa, pou lanmou nou kapab ogmante ankò plis toujou nan vrè konesans, avèk tout bon jijman.
And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
10 Pou nou kapab vin dakò avèk bagay ki ekselan, pou nou kapab rete sensè e san fot jiska jou a Kris la;
That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto 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.
Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto 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, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:
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 my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
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 many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak 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.
Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
16 Dènye nan sa yo, fè l avèk lanmou, paske yo konnen ke m te chwazi pou defans a levanjil la.
Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
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.
And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
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.
But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 Paske mwen konnen ke sa va sèvi pou delivrans mwen atravè lapriyè nou yo, ak pwovizyon Lespri Jésus Kri a.
For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply 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.
According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.
21 Paske pou mwen menm viv se Kris e mouri se avantaj.
For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
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.
And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
23 Men mwen sanse presyon nan toulède direksyon yo. Mwen ta anvi ale, pou m kapab avèk Kris, paske sa pi bon anpil,
But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
24 men pou m rete nan lachè a pi nesesè pou koz a nou menm.
But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
25 Konvenk de sa, mwen konnen ke mwen va rete pou kontinye avèk nou tout, pou pwogrè ak lajwa nou nan lafwa.
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
26 Konsa konfyans fyète nou an nan mwen kapab vin debòde nan Jésus Kri lè mwen vin bò kote nou an ankò.
That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to 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 conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
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.
And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this 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.
For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
30 Konsa nou ap pase menm konfli entèn ke nou te wè m pase a, e koulye a tande k ap fèt nan mwen.
Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
