Filipai 1

1 Hagi Poli'nane, Timoti'ene Krais Jisasi kazokzo eri'zampi tragoteta kina hu'neta, Filipai kumate Anumzamofo naga Krais Jisasinte tamentinti nehaza vahe'ene mono kva nagamotane, eri'za tamaza hu'za eneriza naga'motma ama avona kreneramu'e.

[I], Paul, and Timothy, [who is with me, are] men who serve Christ Jesus. I [am writing this letter] to all [of you who are] pastors and deacons in Philippi [city] and to the rest of God’s people [there who have a close relationship] with Christ Jesus.

2 Anumza nafatimo'ene Ranti Jisas Kraisi'enena asuragiramanteno, rimpa fruzana agampu hurmanteno tamisie.

[We both] (OR, [I]) [pray that] God, [who is] our Father, and Jesus Christ, [who is our] Lord, [will continue to] be kind to you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.

3 Hagi hakare zupa tamagriku nagesa nentahi'na Anumzamofo muse hunentena,

I thank my God whenever I think about you.

4 maka nunamunia'fina musezamo avi'netege'na nunamu nehu'na maka'motma antahi neramue.

Every time [DOU] I pray [for you], I joyfully pray [DOU] for all of you.

5 Ese'ma agafa hutma mono antahi'naza knareti tamagra nagri'ene tragoteta Knare Musenke huama hume menina neaze.

I [thank God and rejoice] because you have been [working] together with me in order to [make known] the good message about Christ. [You started doing that] when you first [MTY] [believed it, and you have continued doing it] until now.

6 Na'ankure nagra antahi'noe, Anumzamo'a tamagripi knare eri'zama erigafa hu'nea eri'zana erime nevanigeno, Krais Jisasima esania knare eri vagaregahie.

I am completely confident that [God], who has begun to do in you what is good, (OR, that since [God] has begun to do in you what is good, he) will continue to do that until he finishes doing it on the day Christ Jesus [MTY] [returns].

7 Na'ankure maka'motma nagu'areti antahi nerami'na, Anumzamofo Knare Musenkea huama nehugu kina nompine, megi'ane ruga'a vahepi, asunku'zana tagra e'nerune.

During this time that I have been a prisoner [MTY] and during the times I was previously able to defend the good message about Christ and proved/confirmed [to others] that it is true, all of you have been sharing with me (OR, have helped me) in this work [that God] kindly gave [to me to do. So] indeed it is right that I feel joyful about you all, because you are very dear [IDM] to me.

8 Na'ankure Krais Jisasi asuragirmantea tamate'neankna hu'na nagra tamagrikura tusi'za hu'na nagesa nentahuankino, Anumzamo nagrira huama hugahie.

God [can] verify that Christ Jesus causes me to [love and] long for all of you very much, [just like] Christ loves [you].

9 Nagra nunamuna huneramantoankino, vaheku'ma avesizamante'zamo tamagripi me'neno ra nehanigetma, tamage antahi'zampine, knare tamagu tamagesane hagesaze nehue.

And what I pray [for you] is that [God will enable] you to truly know and learn how to love [one another] more and more in every situation.

10 Ana nehutma maka'zana refko hutma negetma, so'e zantfama hu'nesnia zanku nentahitma, avusese hutma fatgo zampi mani'nesnageno Kraisi'a eteno egahie.

[And I pray that he will enable] you to completely understand [how you should believe and act]. I [pray this] in order that you might be [spiritually] pure and faultless (OR, completely faultless [DOU]) on the day that Christ [returns] [MTY],

11 Fatgo avu'ava'zama Jisas Kraisima eri fore'ma nehiazamo tagripi avinete'na, vahe'mo'za nege'za Anumzamofona ra agi nemiza, agi'a erisaga hugahaze.

[and in order that] you might conduct your lives [IDM] completely righteously as a result of Jesus Christ [enabling you to do so], in order that [people will] honor God and praise him (OR, [people will] praise God very much [DOU]).

12 Nafuhetane nasaraheta kama antahiho, kinafima mani'noa zamo Knare Musenkea (gospel) eri ra higeno vuno eno nehie.

My fellow believers, I want you to know that the [troubles] I have experienced [have not prevented me from proclaiming the good message to people. Instead], [these things that I have experienced] have enabled even more people to hear the good message [about Christ].

13 E'ina hu'negu, Kraisi eri'zante kina hu'noa agafare, maka kinimofo avufare kva nehaza vahe'mo'zane, maka vahe'mo'za nentahize.

[Specifically], all the military guards who are stationed [here in Rome] and many other [HYP] [people in this city] [HYP] now know that I am a prisoner [MTY] because I [proclaim the good news] about Christ.

14 Kinama hu'noa agafare maka nenfu'zane nasarhe'zane zamagu'areti Rantimofona antahi nemi'za, korora osu'za hanaveti'za Anumzamofo nanekea zamagiteti huama nehaze.

Also, most of the believers [here now] proclaim the message from God more courageously and fearlessly [because] they trust the Lord [more firmly to help them. They trust the Lord more] because [they have seen how the Lord has helped me] while I have been a prisoner [MTY] [here].

15 Antahi'none, mago'amo'za hu'za tagra Kraisi naneke huama hugaragi nehu'za, ha' renenantaze. Hianagi mago'amo'za fatgo kante nehaze.

Some people proclaim [the message about Christ as I do] because they are happy [with my work]. They proclaim [the message about] Christ because they love [me and because] they know that [God] has placed me [here] to defend the message about Christ [CHI].

16 Fatgo avu'avapi e'neriza naga'mo'za, nagrira zamesi nenante'za Kraisi naneke huama nehaze. Anumzamo'a nagrira navareno ege'na, Knare Musenke'agura kehara neroge'za nentahiza,

17 ha'ma renenantaza vahe'mo'za zamagra zamesi'zante Kraisi nanekea huama nehaze. Tamage zamagu'areti nosaze, hagi kina nompima nagri amuho namisagu ana nehaze.

Others proclaim [the message about] Christ because they envy [me] and oppose [me]. They proclaim the message about Christ because they have wrong motives. They [wrongly] assume [that because they are causing many people to follow them, I will be jealous, and as a result], I will feel more miserable while I am a prisoner [MTY] [here].

18 Ana nehu'za amega zamagitetiro zamaguaretiro Kraisinkura huama nehaze. E'inama nehaza zankura nagra nagu'a muse nehue. Tamage, naguafina nagra muse nehue.

But it does not matter whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have wrong motives, or whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have right motives. The important thing in either case is that [the message about] Christ is being proclaimed {people are proclaiming [the message about] Christ}. And because of that I rejoice! Philippians 1:18b-26 Furthermore, I will continue to rejoice,

19 Na'ankure nagra antahi'noe, kina nompi mani'nogetma, nunamu nehaza zamo'ene, Jisas Kraisi Avamu'mo naza huno nazeri atregahie.

because when I experience troubles, I know that some day God will say that he approves [of what I have done] (OR, that [the Roman authorities] will set me free). [This will happen] as a result of your praying for me, and [as a result] of [God’s] Spirit, whom Jesus Christ gave me, helping me.

20 Nagra mani'ne'na antahuampi, namema erintena antahuana, mago'zama nagazema erinami'zana osutfa hugahue. Hagi mika zupa nagra Kraisinte hanaveti'na manigahue, korapa'ma mani'noaza hu'na manisnuo, frisnua zamo'a, Kraisi ragi amigahie.

I [know that this will happen] because I very confidently expect [DOU] that I will faithfully honor Christ. I expect that like I always [have done], Christ will be greatly honored {I will continue now also to very boldly honor Christ} by means of all that I do [SYN, MTY], whether by [the way I] live or [by the way I] die.

21 Na'ankure nagrama kasefa'ma manisnuana Kraisinte manigahue. Hagi frisnuana knare'zantfa erigahue.

As for me, I live [in order to honor] Christ. But if I die, it will be better [for me than if I continue to live, because then I will be with him].

22 Hianagi nagrama mopa navufane mani'ne'na, eri'zama erisua zamo raga rentegahie. Nagra ina kamofo avaririgahufi ontahi'noe.

On the other hand, if I continue to live, that will enable me to continue to serve [Christ] effectively. As a result, I do not know which to choose.

23 Hianagi tarega kazigati e'nea zamo navazu huno rentrako hu'nenante, na'ankure fri'nama Kraisi'ene umani'snua zamo'a knare zantfa hugahie.

That is, I am not sure which of those two I [prefer]. I long to leave [this world] and [go to] be with Christ, because that will be very much better [for me].

24 Hianagi mopa navufane mani'nua zamo'a mago'ene tamagri tamaza hugahie.

Nevertheless, it is more important that I remain alive [than that I go to be with Christ because] you still need [me to help you].

25 Nagra nagu'areti antahi'noe, tamagrane tragote'na miko eri'za e'nerisugeno, eri'zamo ra hanigetma negetma, tamentintimofo muse'zama'a kegahaze.

Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain [alive] and that I will [go/come to] be with you all. [As a result], you will believe [in Christ] more firmly, and [as a result of that], you will rejoice.

26 Nagri'ma Krais Jisasi'ma hunante'nea zankura nagrama ete'na tamagrane umani'nenketa, musena hugahaze.

[That is], you will be able to rejoice very greatly because of Christ Jesus [bringing] me [to be with you again].

27 Kraisi Knare Musenke'amo hu'nesia kante anteta mani'nenke'na eme tamagegahuo, ontamagegahuo, magoke tamagu tamagesare ene antahintahi tmifina hanavetitma mani'netma, Knare Musenke'afi tamentintia nehinke'na tmantahi'neno.

Most importantly, as fellow [believers in Christ], conduct yourselves just like [you learned you should do when you heard] the message about Christ. Do that in order that whether I come and see you, or whether [I am away from you and] people tell me about you, [what I hear or see will make me happy]. They will tell me that you are unitedly and cooperatively resisting [those who oppose the message about Christ] (OR, [oppose you]). I [will know] that you are not allowing others to influence you to believe a message that is different from the gospel [about Christ].

28 Keha'ma renermantaza vahe'mo'za, zamagra'zmi hakare kampinti traka hugahaze. Hianagi tamagra tmazahu'za erigahaze. E'i ana avame zana Anumzamo tamigahie.

And I [will know] that you are not at all frightened by {afraid of} the people who oppose you. This will show/prove to those people that [God] will destroy them, but this will show/prove to you that [God] will save you eternally. It is God who is doing [all] this.

29 Na'ankure Kraisinte tamentinti nehaza zantekukera ontami'ne, hianagi Agri eri'zampi kna erisnazegu, tamaza hu'ne.

Remember that he has not only kindly enabled you to believe in Christ, [he] has also kindly allowed you to suffer for the sake of Christ.

30 Kote'na knazama eri'noana tamagra nage'naze, knafima nemanuana meninena nentahize, ama ana hara tamagrane tragoteta nehune.

[As a result], you are [having to] resist [those who oppose the good message], just like you saw that I [had to] resist [such people there in Philippi], and just like you hear that I [still have to resist such people here] now.
