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, 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 give thanks unto my God upon every mention of you,
4 A cikin dukan addu’o’ina dominku duka, nakan yi addu’a da farin ciki kullum
(always making supplication for you all with joy
5 saboda tarayyarku a cikin bishara daga ranar farko har yă zuwa yanzu,
in every prayer of mine) for your attachment to the gospel, from the first day even till 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, that He who hath begun a good work in you will continue to perfect it till 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.
As it is just for me to think this of you all, because ye have me in your heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, being all of you partakers of the same grace with me.
8 Allah shi ne shaidata, ya san yadda nake ƙaunarku duka da ƙaunar Kiristi Yesu.
For God is my witness, how much I long for you all, as with 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 discernment;
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 try things that differ, that ye may be sincere and without offence until 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 full of the fruits of righteousness which are through 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 have you know, my brethren, that the things, which have befallen me, have proved rather to the advancement 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 are manifest in all the palace, and all other places, to be for the sake of Christ;
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, encouraged by my bonds, are much more bold to publish 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 through envy and strife, and some also through good-will:
16 Na biye suna yin haka cikin ƙauna, da sanin cewa an sa ni a nan ne domin kāriyar bishara.
the former preach Christ out of contention, not sincerely, thinking 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.
the others out 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? yet every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached: and in this I rejoice, yea and I 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 safety through your prayer, and the aid 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 shall be put to shame in nothing; but that with all freedom of speech, as always, so now also Christ shall 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: and if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor:
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!
so that I know not what to chuse;
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 much preferable:
24 amma ya fi muku muhimmanci in rayu cikin jiki.
but to abide in the flesh is more necessary 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 as I am confident of this, I know that I shall abide and shall continue with you all, for your improvement and the joy of your faith:
26 domin ta wurin kasancewata tare da ku, farin cikinku cikin Kiristi Yesu zai cika sosai ta dalilina.
that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may abound through 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 behave worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of you, that ye stand firm in one Spirit, striving together as with one soul for the saith 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 are in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is a demonstration of ruin to them, but to you of salvation, and this 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,
For to you it is granted as a favor from 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 as ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
