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:
PAULOS and Timotheus, servants of Jeshu the Meshiha, to all the saints who are in Jeshu Meshiha at Philipos, with the presbyters 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 Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
3 Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an nan tout fwa ke m sonje nou.
I offer thanks unto Aloha upon the remembrance of you constantly,
4 Mwen toujou ap ofri lapriyè avèk jwa nan kè m nan tout priyè mwen pou nou tout,
in all my prayers on your behalf; and while rejoicing,
5 akoz de patisipasyon nou nan levanjil la depi premye jou a jiska koulye a.
I pray, for your fellowship which is in the gospel 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.
because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun good workings in you will himself make perfect until the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
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.
For so it is right for me to think concerning you all, because you are laid up in my heart; and in my bonds, and in the defence of the truth of the gospel, you are partakers with me in grace.
8 Paske Bondye se temwen mwen, de jan mwen anvi wè nou tout avèk tandrès a Kris Jésus a.
For Aloha is my witness how I love you with the bowels of Jeshu Meshiha.
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 love may still increase and abound in knowledge and in all spiritual 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 distinguish those things that are proper, and may be pure and without offence in the day of the Meshiha,
11 Se pou nou vin ranpli nèt avèk fwi ladwati ki vini atravè Jésus Kri a, pou laglwa ak lwanj a Bondye.
and filled with the fruits of righteousness which are in Jeshu Meshiha, to the glory and the honour of Aloha.
12 Koulye a, mwen vle nou konnen, frè m yo, ke sikonstans mwen yo vin pase pou pi gran pwogrè levanjil la.
BUT I wish you to know, my brethren, that my business tendeth the more to the forwarding 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.
For so also my bonds are manifest for the Meshiha in the whole palace, and unto all besides.
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 a multitude of brethren who are in our Lord are strengthened on account of my bonds, and have dared the more fearlessly to speak the word of Aloha.
15 Asireman kèk nan yo menm ap preche Kris avèk lanvi ak konfli, men kèk tou ap preche l avèk senserite.
Some preach from envy and contention, but some from good-will,
16 Dènye nan sa yo, fè l avèk lanmou, paske yo konnen ke m te chwazi pou defans a levanjil la.
and in the love of the Meshiha; for they know that for the defence of the gospel I am appointed.
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 who preach the Meshiha from contention do it not sincerely, but think to add affliction to my bonds.
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.
Yet in this I have rejoiced, and do rejoice, that in every way, if for an occasion, or if in truth, the Meshiha shall be preached.
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 these things shall be found unto my life by your prayers, and by the gift of the Spirit of Jeshu Meshiha;
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.
even as I hope and expect, that in nothing I shall be confounded, but manifestly, as at all times, so also now, the Meshiha shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 Paske pou mwen menm viv se Kris e mouri se avantaj.
For my life is the Meshiha; and if I die, it is gain to me.
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 in this life of the flesh there be also fruit to me from my works, I know not what to choose.
23 Men mwen sanse presyon nan toulède direksyon yo. Mwen ta anvi ale, pou m kapab avèk Kris, paske sa pi bon anpil,
For these two straiten me. I desire to be set free, that I might be with the Meshiha, and this is greatly preferable to me;
24 men pou m rete nan lachè a pi nesesè pou koz a nou menm.
but also to remain in my body is the thing which constraineth me on your account.
25 Konvenk de sa, mwen konnen ke mwen va rete pou kontinye avèk nou tout, pou pwogrè ak lajwa nou nan lafwa.
For I know this confidently, that I am to remain and tarry for your joy and for the increase 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 when I come again to you, your glorying which is in Jeshu Meshiha alone shall abound in me.
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,
As it becometh the gospel of the Meshiha, so have your conversation; that if coming I see you, or absent, I may hear of you, that you stand in one spirit and in one soul, conquering 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.
in nothing moved by them who stand against us, to the forthshowing of their perdition, and of our salvation,
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.
And this from Aloha hath been given to you, not only believing to believe in the Meshiha, but also for his sake to suffer,
30 Konsa nou ap pase menm konfli entèn ke nou te wè m pase a, e koulye a tande k ap fèt nan mwen.
and to sustain a conflict, as you have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.
