Filibbiyawa 1
1 Bulus da Timoti, bayin Kiristi Yesu, Zuwa ga dukan tsarkaka cikin Kiristi Yesu a Filibbi, tare da masu kula da Ikkilisiya da kuma masu hidima.
Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2 Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare ku.
Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ina gode wa Allahna a kowane lokacin da na tuna da ku.
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 A cikin dukan addu’o’ina dominku duka, nakan yi addu’a da farin ciki kullum
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 saboda tarayyarku a cikin bishara daga ranar farko har yă zuwa yanzu,
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 da tabbacin cewa wanda ya fara kyakkyawan aikin nan a cikinku, zai kai shi ga kammalawa har yă zuwa ranar Kiristi Yesu.
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Daidai ne in yi wannan tunani game da dukanku, da yake kuna a zuciyata; domin ko ina daure cikin sarƙoƙi ko ina kāre bishara ina kuma tabbatar da ita, dukanku kuna tarayya cikin alherin Allah tare da ni.
Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
8 Allah shi ne shaidata, ya san yadda nake ƙaunarku duka da ƙaunar Kiristi Yesu.
For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 Addu’ata ita ce ƙaunarku tă yi ta cin gaba da ƙaruwa cikin sani da kuma zurfin ganewa,
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment;
10 don ku iya rarrabe abin da yake mafi kyau, ku kuma zama da tsarki, marasa aibi har yă zuwa ranar Kiristi,
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
11 cikakku da sakamakon aikin adalci da yake zuwa ta wurin Yesu Kiristi, zuwa ga ɗaukakar Allah da kuma yabonsa.
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12 To, ina so ku sani’yan’uwa, cewa abin da ya faru da ni ya sa cin gaban bishara.
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13 Ta haka, ya zama sananne ga dukan masu gadin fada da kuma ga kowa cewa an daure ni da sarƙoƙi saboda Kiristi.
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [places];
14 Saboda sarƙoƙina, yawancin’yan’uwa cikin Ubangiji sun sami ƙarfafawa su yi maganar Allah gabagadi da kuma babu tsoro.
And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Gaskiya ce cewa waɗansu suna yin wa’azin Kiristi saboda kishi da neman faɗa, amma waɗansu da nufi mai kyau suke yi.
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 Na biye suna yin haka cikin ƙauna, da sanin cewa an sa ni a nan ne domin kāriyar bishara.
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 Na farin dai suna wa’azin Kiristi da sonkai ne, ba da zuciya ɗaya ba, a sonsu, su wahalar da ni a cikin sarƙoƙi.
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 Me kuma? Ta ko yaya dai, ko da gangan, ko da gaske, ana shelar Kiristi. Domin wannan kuwa ina farin ciki. I, zan kuwa ci gaba da farin ciki,
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 gama na san cewa ta wurin addu’o’inku da kuma taimako daga Ruhun Yesu Kiristi, abin da ya same ni zai zama sanadin kuɓutata.
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Ina saurara da marmari da kuma bege cewa ba zan taɓa shan kunya ba, sai dai zan sami issashen ƙarfin hali yanzu kamar kullum, za a ɗaukaka Kiristi a jikina, ko ta wurin rayuwa ko kuma ta wurin mutuwa.
According to my earnest expectation and [my] hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether [it be] by life, or by death.
21 Gama a gare ni, rai Kiristi ne, mutuwa kuma riba ce.
For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
22 In zan ci gaba da rayuwa a cikin jiki, wannan zai zama aiki mai amfani a gare ni. Duk da haka me zan zaɓa? Ban sani ba!
But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 Na rasa wanda zan zaɓa cikin biyun nan. Ina sha’awa in yi ƙaura in zauna tare da Kiristi, wannan kuwa ya fi kyau nesa ba kusa ba;
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 amma ya fi muku muhimmanci in rayu cikin jiki.
Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.
25 Na tabbata haka ne, na kuwa san zan wanzu in zauna tare da ku duka, domin ku ci gaba, bangaskiyarku tana sa ku farin ciki,
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
26 domin ta wurin kasancewata tare da ku, farin cikinku cikin Kiristi Yesu zai cika sosai ta dalilina.
That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Kome ya faru, ku yi zaman da ya cancanci bisharar Kiristi. Ta haka, ko na zo na gan ku, ko ban zo ba, in ji labari cewa kun tsaya da ƙarfi a cikin ruhu ɗaya, kuna fama kamar mutum ɗaya saboda bangaskiyar bishara
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 ba tare da kun ji tsoron waɗanda suke gāba da ku ta kowace hanya ba. Wannan alama ce a gare su cewa za a hallaka su, amma a gare ku za a cece ku, wannan tabbacin kuwa daga wurin Allah ne.
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 Gama an ba ku zarafi a madadin Kiristi cewa ba gaskatawa da shi kaɗai ba kuka yi ba, har ma ku sha wahala dominsa,
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 da yake kuna shan faman da kuka gan na sha, kuna kuma jin cewa har yanzu ina sha.
Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.
