< 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 Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare ku.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ina gode wa Allahna a kowane lokacin da na tuna da ku.
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 A cikin dukan addu’o’ina dominku duka, nakan yi addu’a da farin ciki kullum
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 saboda tarayyarku a cikin bishara daga ranar farko har yă zuwa yanzu,
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News 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 who began a good work in you will complete 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.
It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 Allah shi ne shaidata, ya san yadda nake ƙaunarku duka da ƙaunar Kiristi Yesu.
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Addu’ata ita ce ƙaunarku tă yi ta cin gaba da ƙaruwa cikin sani da kuma zurfin ganewa,
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 don ku iya rarrabe abin da yake mafi kyau, ku kuma zama da tsarki, marasa aibi har yă zuwa ranar Kiristi,
so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to 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 through Jesus Christ, to 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.
Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
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 it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
14 Saboda sarƙoƙina, yawancin’yan’uwa cikin Ubangiji sun sami ƙarfafawa su yi maganar Allah gabagadi da kuma babu tsoro.
and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God 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 out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 Na biye suna yin haka cikin ƙauna, da sanin cewa an sa ni a nan ne domin kāriyar bishara.
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
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 latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
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 does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, 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 will turn out to my salvation through your prayers 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 hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether 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 on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
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;
But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24 amma ya fi muku muhimmanci in rayu cikin jiki.
Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
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,
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 domin ta wurin kasancewata tare da ku, farin cikinku cikin Kiristi Yesu zai cika sosai ta dalilina.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with 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 way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
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 frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from 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,
Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30 da yake kuna shan faman da kuka gan na sha, kuna kuma jin cewa har yanzu ina sha.
having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
