Wafilipi 1
1 Paulo nu Timoteo itumi ang'wa Kilisto u Yesu, awaniabaguwe mung'wa Kilisto niakiie ku Filipi palung'wi neemili, agozi.
Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
2 Ukende utule nunyenye nuupolo nuupumile kung'wi Tunda Tata nuitu nu Bwana witu u Yesu Kilisto.
Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Numusongeye Itunda nuane anga numukimbuke unye mehi.
I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
4 Kila ilompi lane ayi kunsoko anyu mehi kila nukulompa, ingi nilowa nukumulompela.
Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
5 Nkite masongelyo iduu kunsoko apalung'wi wanyu munkani ninza kupumiila luhiku la ng'wandyo sunga nilelo.
For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
6 Nkete ikulukulu kina nuanso naiwanzilye umulimo nuuza mukatii anyu ukulongolya kuumala sunga uluhiku nulang'wa Bwana u Yesu Kilisto.
Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
7 Inge uu kung'waane kija ite kung'waanyu mehi kunsoko numuikile munkolo ane. Kuite unye matula meeane muukende mukitungo kane ukuueli nuulagile nuane munkoni ninza.
As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
8 Itunda mukueli wane, ite nkite insula kunsoko anyu mihi ulowa nuawamukati ang'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 Haki kulompa kina: ulowa wanyu wongeeleke kukiila mahala nuulingi wehi.
And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
10 Kulompa kunsoko ite mutule nuuhumi nuakugemeelya nukusagula imakani nibahu kukila kuite kumulompeela gwa ite mutule miaza shangaeze mukete kimeli kehi muluhiku iang'wa Kilisto.
That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
11 Kuitegwa mizuligwe ninkali niyatai niyigeela mung'wa Yesu Kilisto, kuukulu nikolyo lang'wi Tunda.
Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12 Itungile aluna ane, ndoilwe mulinge kina, imakani nakupila kung'wane naitumile nkani ninza ilongoleka ikulu.
Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:
13 Yiyo ndogoilyo itungo yane mung'wa Kilisto, ulengekile kualindi niakulu ehi nukukila ung'wa muntu gwa.
So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
14 Nialuna iidu mung'wa mukulu, kunsoko atungo yane, ikapeng'wa nukugema nukugema kutanantya kaze agila uwoa.
And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Iauyaao amutanantya itai ukilisto kuumeli nuwilei, niitegwa niangeza kisego niza.
Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
16 Awa neemutanatya ukilisto kuulowa alingile kina mbikilwe apa kunsoko akukuila utanantyi.
Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
17 Ingi iidu akumutanatya ukilistokuing'wene kumasego nimabeisiga kina akuletekelya lwago iane mumunyololo ane.
And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
18 Kululoo? Shangankee, ang'wi inzila ikatula ulugu ang'we tai, ukilisto ukutanantigwa kuite ndoeigwa hangi ndoilwe.
But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 Kunsoko ningile kina ite ikaleta kuluguilwa kung'wane, ikani ile likapumila kunsoko amalompi anyu nakuailya nung'waung'welu Yesu Kilisto.
For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Kimpyana nuisumbyeli wane nuakulukulu nitai nikina shangakutula niminyala ang'wi ugimya wakwe wehi, anganaiza mahiku nitungele, nsumbiiye kina Ukilisto ukunansulwa mumueli wane, agaitule numupanga ang'wi numushi.
According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.
21 Kundogoilyo kung'wane unene kikie inge Kilisto nukusha inge nsailo.
For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
22 Kuite anganikie mumuieli yetuga nkali mumulimo wane, kululo shangaimine nileule nilakosagula.
And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
23 Ndogoilo nisukung'wa ikulu nimasego aya na mweeli. Nkete nsula akuleka umweli nukutula palung'we nu Kilisto kintu nikiza inge kansailo ikulukulu.
But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
24 Ganiite kuaga mumiile uwu inge lukani lamuhimu ikulukulu kunsoko anyu.
But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
25 Kunsoko nkete ikulukulu migulya aile, ningile ninikasaga nukulongoleka kutula palung'wi nunyenye mihe kunsoko aunoneli nuwahueli wanyu.
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
26 Nilikaleta uulowa wanyu nuukulu mung'wa Kilisto u Yesu kunsoko ane ikigeeleka, aukulu wane palung'wi nunyenye.
That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
27 Mutakiwe kikie ulikalo lanyu mulugendo nuluza nulutakiwe munkani ninza niang'wa Kilisto, nije kina mimekile ikomu kunkolo ing; wi, muzikilya uhueli nuankani ninza kupalung'wi.
Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
28 Hangi muleke kutumbwa nikintu kihe nulukutendwa nianya ulugu anyu ila kitalanyu ingi kilingasiilyo kaugunwa kupuma kung'wa Itunda.
And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:
29 Kundogoilyo unyenye mikeigwe kunsoko ang'wa Kilisto, shangakumuhuela du, ila ganukigigwa ganung'wenso.
For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
30 Kundogilyo mukete winyomi wuwowuwoo anga numuihangile kitalane hangi migule nukete ga milelo.
Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
