Filibbiyawa 1
1 Bulus da Timoti bayin Almasihu Yesu, zuwa ga dukan wadan da aka kebe cikin Almasihu Yesu da ke a Filibi, tare da masu kula da ikilisiya da dikinoni.
Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
2 Bari alheri ya kasance tare da ku da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da Ubagijinmu Yesu Almasihu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
3 Ina godiya ga Allahna duk lokacin da na tuna da ku.
I thank my God every time I remember you;
4 Ko yaushe cikin addu'a ta dominku duka, da farin ciki na ke addu'a.
in all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy,
5 Ina godiya domin tarayyar ku a cikin bishara tun daga rana ta fari har ya zuwa yanzu.
because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now,
6 Na tabbata game da wannan abu, shi wanda ya fara aiki mai kyau a cikinku zai ci gaba da shi har ya kai ga kammala zuwa ranar Yesu Almasihu.
being certain 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 ji haka game da dukanku domin kuna zuciya ta. Dukanku abokan tarayya ta ne cikin alherin Allah wajen dauri na da kuma kariyar bishara, da tabbatar da bishara.
just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel you all are partakers with me of the Grace.
8 Domin Allah mashaidi na ne, a kan yadda ina da marmarin ku duka cikin zurfin kaunar Almasihu Yesu.
God is my witness how I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
9 Ina yin wannan addu'a: kaunar ku ta habaka gaba gaba a cikin sani da dukan fahimta.
This is what I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more in real knowledge and full discernment,
10 Ina addu'a a kan haka domin ku gwada ku zabi mafifitan abubuwa. Ina addu'a domin ku zama sahihai marasa abin zargi a ranar Almasihu.
for you to identify the things that really matter; that you may be sincere and blameless until the Day of Christ,
11 Wannan kuma domin a cika ku da 'ya'yan adalci da ake samu ta wurin Yesu Almasihu, zuwa ga daukaka da yabon Allah.
having been filled with the fruits of righteousness that are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Yanzu ina so ku sani, 'yan'uwa, cewa al'amuran da suka faru da ni sun zama dalilan cin gaban bishara kwarai da gaske.
Now I want you to know, brothers, that the events against me have actually turned out for the advancement of the Gospel:
13 Sakamakon haka, sarkokina cikin Almasihu sun zama sanannu ga dukan sojojin fada da kuma sauran jama'a,
as a result, it has become evident to the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that I am in chains for Christ;
14 har galibin 'yan'uwa cikin Ubangiji suka karfafa kwarai sabili da sarkokina, suka fito a fili suka yi shelar maganar Allah gabagadi.
also, most of the brothers in Sovereign have been influenced by my chains to be much bolder, to speak the Word fearlessly.
15 Lalle wadansu suna shelar Almasihu cikin kishi da husuma, wadansu kuwa domin kyakyawar manufa.
To be sure, some are even preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will;
16 Masu shelar Almasihu domin kauna sun sani cewa an ajiye ni nan domin in kare bishara.
the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to add to my affliction while in chains,
17 Amma wadansu kuwa suna shelar Almasihu saboda sonkai da rashin gaskiya. A zaton su suna wahalar da ni cikin sarkokina.
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am set here for the defense of the Gospel.
18 Sai kuma me? Ta kowace hanya, ko da gangan ko da gaske, shelar Almasihu ake yi, ina kuma murna da wannan! I, zan yi murna.
No problem: in every way, be it in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice—yes, and will rejoice.
19 Domin na sani wannan zai kai ga sanadiyar kubuta ta. Wannan zai faru sabili da addu'ar ku, da kuma taimakon Ruhun Yesu Almasihu.
You see, I know that this will turn out for my deliverance (through your supplication and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)
20 Bisa ga abin da hakikance nake tsammani da tabbaci cewa ba zan kunyata ba. Maimakon haka, da dukan karfin hali kamar kullum, da yanzu kuma, ina da burin kawo daukaka ga Almasihu a cikin jikina. Ina da begen Almasihu ya sami daukaka a cikin jikina ko cikin rayuwa ko cikin mutuwa.
according to my earnest expectation and hope that I will not be put to shame in anything but be truly bold, so that now as always Christ will be glorified in my person, whether by life or by death
21 Domin ni a gare ni rai Almasihu ne, mutuwa kuwa riba ce.
—to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22 Amma idan ya zamanto rayuwata cikin jiki za ta kawo amfanin hidima to, ban san wanda zan zaba ba.
Now if I am to live on in the flesh it will mean fruitful labor for me, so I do not know what to choose.
23 Amma dukansu biyu suna jan hankali na. Ina da burin in bar nan in kasance tare da Almasihu, wannan ya fiye mani kwarai!
I am torn between the two: I have the desire to depart and be with Christ (far better),
24 Duk da haka rayuwata cikin jiki wajibi ne sabili da ku.
but to remain in the flesh is more necessary, because of you.
25 Tunda shike ina da tabbas a kan wannan, na kuma sani zan rayu, in cigaba da kasancewa da ku duka domin cigaban ku, da farincikin ku, cikin bangaskiya.
So having been persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 Sakamakon haka, takamar ku cikin Almasihu Yesu za ta bunkasa sabili da dawowa ta a gare ku.
so that your rejoicing over me may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, through my coming to you again.
27 Ku tafiyar da al'amuran ku kamar yadda ya cancanci bisharar Almasihu, ku yi haka domin ko na zo in duba ku, ko bana nan inji yadda kuke tsaye daram cikin ruhu guda. Ina fatan in ji cewa da nufi daya kuke fama tare saboda bangaskiyar nan ta bishara.
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or am absent, I may hear about you that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together for the faith of the Gospel with one soul,
28 Kada ku tsorata da kome da magabtanku za su yi. Alama ce a gare su ta hallakar su. Amma ku kuwa alama ce ta ceton ku, wannan kuwa daga Allah ne.
and not being intimidated in any way by your opponents: to them this is an indicator of ruin, but to you of deliverance, and that from God.
29 Gama an yi maku alheri, sabo da Almasihu, ba gaskantawa da Almasihu kawai ba, amma har ma shan wuya dominsa.
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe into Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
30 Kuna da shan wuya irin tawa wanda kuka gani, wanda kun ji nake sha har yanzu.
having the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear to be in me.
