Abhafilipi 1
1 Paulo na Timotheo, abhakosi bha Yesu Kristo, Kubhanu bhasolelwe mu Kristo bhanu bhekaye Bhufilipi, amwi na Abhakaluka na Abhafulubhendi.
Paul and Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which are at Philippi, with the Bishops, and Deacons:
2 Echigongo chibhe amwi nemwe no omulembe gunu ogusoka ku Lata Nyamuanga weswe na Omukama weswe Yesu Kristo.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
3 Enimusima Nyamuanga wani bhuli katungu kanu enibhechuka emwe bhona.
I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie,
4 Bhuli katungu mwisabhwa lyani kwimwe, ungwa nabhasabhilwa enikondelelwaga.
(Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse)
5 Nili na isime nene kulwo obhumwi bhwemwe mu Injili kusokelela olunaku lwokwamba kukingila lelo.
Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe.
6 Nino obhuchimali ati unu ambisishe omulimo gwa kisi munda yemwe aligendelela ukugukumisha okukingila olusiku Leo Omukama Yesu Kristo.
And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus Christ,
7 Nijakisi kulubhala lwani, okwiyungwa kutya ingulu yemwe bhona kulwokubha nibhateye mumwoyo gwani. Insonga emwe mwabheye bhejasu muchigongo na muchifungo chani mukubhambalila kwani no okumenyegesha (okusimbagilisha) Iinjili.
As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all, because I haue you in remembrance that both in my bands, and in my defence, and confirmation of the Gospell you all were partakers of my grace.
8 Nyamuanga kambambalila, lwakutyo nili na inamba ingulu yemwe bhona mulyenda lya ingulu muno elya Kristo Yesu.
For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.
9 Mbe enisabhwa ati, elyenda lyemwe likule muno mubhumenyi nonobhwengeso bhwona.
And this I pray, that your loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement,
10 Enisabila omusango ogwo koleleki mube no obhutulo obhwo kulenga no okusola amakonde muno. Echakabhili enibhasabhwila koleleki mubhe bhelu ubhutabha na njuno yonayona olunaku lwa Kristo.
That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ,
11 Echindi koleleki mwijusibhwe na litwasho lye echimali linu elibhonekana ku Yesu Kristo, kulwa likusho no obhukonde bhwa Nyamuanga.
Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God.
12 Mbe bhaili bhani, enenda nimenye kutya, amagambo ganu gambwene gakolele Iinjili igendelele muno.
I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell,
13 Niyo insonga oungwa bhamboya kulwa injuno ya Kristo, okubhoywa kwani okumenywa na abhanu bhona na abhalindi bho obhwikalo bhwo omukama.
So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places,
14 Kulubhana ne ebhifungo bhyani, abhaili bhani Mumukama, bhekilisishe no okulegeja okulasha Omusango bhatali nabhubha.
In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word.
15 Abhandi ni chimali abhamulasha Kristo kwo olwango no obhuyombo, abhandi abhakola kutyo kwo obhwiganilisha bhwekisi.
Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will.
16 Bhanu abhamulasha Kristo kwe elyenda abhamenya ati nitewe anu kwa insonga yo okubhambala Iinjili.
The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes.
17 Nawe abhandi abhamulasha Kristo kwo omutubho no omwoyo mubhibhi. Ebhetogela ati abhaleta jinyako kwanye muminyororo jani.
But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell.
18 Kulwejo nitakukukwa, nikondelewe kulwokubha Kristo kalasibhwa kwa njila yonayona! Na niligendelela okukondelelwa!
What then? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye.
19 Kulwokubha enimenya ati linu lililetelela ninigulilwa. Omusango gunu gulisokokoka kulwa lisabhwa lyemwe na kwo obhusakisi bhwa Mwoyo was Kristo.
For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,
20 Okwingana na obhwiikanyo bhwani obhwe echimali ni kutya, nitalibhona nswalo. Badala yejo, kwa libhasi lyona, lwa kutyo jili nsiku jona kukinga olyanu, eniikanya ati Kristo alikusibhwa mumubhili gwani, mukatungu ko obhuanga no olufu.
As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
21 Kulwokubha kwanye, obhulame ni Kristo, okufwa kulimo libhona.
For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage.
22 Nawe, labha okulama chimubhili okwibhula litwasyo mumilimu jani, kulwejo nitakumenya echokusola.
And whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not.
23 Kunsonga enisindikwa na ameganilisho gabhili ganu. Nina inamba yokusiga omubhili nibhe amwi na Kristo, echo nicho echinu cho obhugusi bhunene muno.
For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.
24 Tali okusigala mumubhili gunu ni gambo lya kisi sana ingulu yemwe.
Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull for you.
25 Kulwokubha enimenya bhusibhusi ingulu yo omusango gunu, enimenya enisigala no okugendelela okubha amwi nemwe bhona, koleleki mugendelele no okukondelelwa mulikilisha.
And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith,
26 mukingile okubhona likusho ku Kristo Yesu, ingulu yani okubha enisubha okwikala amwi nemwe lindi.
That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe.
27 Nawe ubhalame bhwemwe bhwinganilile lwakutyo Iinjili ya Kristo eyaika. Mukole kutyo koleleki nilibha naja okubhalola amo nikabhula okuja, nungwega ati mwimeleguyu obhutasingita mumwoyo gumwi, eninambaalila okungwa ati muli na Mwoyo gumwi, nimwisigombela elikilsha lya Iinjili ku bhumwi bhweme.
Onely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of your matters that ye continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel.
28 Nolwo mwasiga kubhaya echinu chonachona chinu echikolwa na abhasoko bhemwe. Echo kutyo kubhene ni chimenyegesho cho obhubhibhi. Nawe kwimwe ni chimenyegesho cho omwelulo okusoka ku Nyamuanga.
And in nothing feare your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of saluation, and that of God.
29 Kunsonga emwe muyabhilwe kulwe emillimu ja Kristo, kutali kumwikilisha kwenyele, tali nokunyasibhwa ingulu yomwene.
For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,
30 Kulwokubha muli na inyombo ilyailya lwakutyo mwailolele kwanye na omungwa lwakutyo ninayo okukingila olyanu.
Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare to be in me.
