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 Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which 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 with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
3 Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an nan tout fwa ke m sonje nou.
I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie,
4 Mwen toujou ap ofri lapriyè avèk jwa nan kè m nan tout priyè mwen pou nou tout,
(Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse)
5 akoz de patisipasyon nou nan levanjil la depi premye jou a jiska koulye a.
Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe.
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.
And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus 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.
As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all, because I haue you in remembrance that both in my bands, and in my defence, and confirmation of the Gospell you all were partakers of my grace.
8 Paske Bondye se temwen mwen, de jan mwen anvi wè nou tout avèk tandrès a Kris Jésus a.
For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus 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 loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement,
10 Pou nou kapab vin dakò avèk bagay ki ekselan, pou nou kapab rete sensè e san fot jiska jou a Kris la;
That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill 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 fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie 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.
I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell,
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 bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, 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.
In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word.
15 Asireman kèk nan yo menm ap preche Kris avèk lanvi ak konfli, men kèk tou ap preche l avèk senserite.
Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will.
16 Dènye nan sa yo, fè l avèk lanmou, paske yo konnen ke m te chwazi pou defans a levanjil la.
The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes.
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 the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell.
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? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye.
19 Paske mwen konnen ke sa va sèvi pou delivrans mwen atravè lapriyè nou yo, ak pwovizyon Lespri Jésus Kri a.
For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus 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.
As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
21 Paske pou mwen menm viv se Kris e mouri se avantaj.
For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage.
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 whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not.
23 Men mwen sanse presyon nan toulède direksyon yo. Mwen ta anvi ale, pou m kapab avèk Kris, paske sa pi bon anpil,
For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.
24 men pou m rete nan lachè a pi nesesè pou koz a nou menm.
Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull 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 this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith,
26 Konsa konfyans fyète nou an nan mwen kapab vin debòde nan Jésus Kri lè mwen vin bò kote nou an ankò.
That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe.
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,
Onely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of your matters that ye continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through 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 feare your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of saluation, and that of 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 vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,
30 Konsa nou ap pase menm konfli entèn ke nou te wè m pase a, e koulye a tande k ap fèt nan mwen.
Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare to be in me.
